10 Aug The Marked Saga Boxset + Teaser

Hi angels,

This eBook special edition bundle includes the first four books in The Marked Saga—Inception, Invidious, Iniquitous, and Infernal—along with fresh edits, pretty new header images, and three exclusive bonus scenes told from the guys’ POV. That’s over 1400 pages of yum!

“Dominic?” The timbre of his name on my tongue sounded far more needy than I had intended it to, especially since technically, I was supposed to still be mad at him. I could barely remember why, though. “Are you going to come all the way in or are you just planning on staying by the door for the rest of the night?”

He appeared to be thinking about it. “I suppose that depends,” he finally answered, and then turned around to face me, his expression a perfect mask of indifference.

I really hated that mask, too.

I swallowed against the lump that had suddenly formed at the back of my throat. “On what?”

“On whether you plan on telling me the truth about what happened tonight.” His voice was calm and even, guarded from any emotion behind it. He quirked his brow at me inquisitively. “Or do you plan on holding fast to the lie you told everyone downstairs?”

The lump that had been in my throat thickened like coal and then dropped down into my stomach. “What lie? I didn’t—”

He clicked his tongue and shook his head, stopping me in my tracks. “Last chance, angel.”

I stared back at him like a brainless mannequin with my lips still parted on the lie I hadn’t finished telling. I wasn’t sure what I had been expecting when he carried me up to my bedroom, but I could say with absolute certainty that it definitely wasn’t this.

“I already know you didn’t vanquish those Hellhounds,” he stated matter-of-factly, his cunning eyes still boring holes into the depths of my soul. “What I don’t know is how you managed to make it out of there alive.”

“How could you possibly know that?”

“Do you even need to ask?” he retorted.

Apparently I did since the only reason I could think of was if he were somehow involved in it. But he couldn’t have been involved in it.

…Could he?

I narrowed my eyes at him as a needle of suspicion pricked the back of my neck. “What exactly do you know about what happened? What aren’t you telling me?” I asked and then shoved off the bed. I’d meant to close the distance, but my legs were too shaky to take another step, though I wasn’t sure if it was because of my injuries or because I was afraid of hearing his answer. “I swear to god, Dominic, if you—”

“If I what?” he cut in icily and then prowled toward me with the grace of a panther, each step exuding power and absolute control. “If I had something to do with it?” he asked tersely, his eyes as dark as flint.  

I resisted the urge to cower away from him and the question which now seemed wildly inappropriate.  “You just…you seem to know more than you’re saying.”

He huffed derisively, like a part of him expected the accusation. If he was hurt by it, though, he wasn’t showing it. “I always know more than I say,” he informed haughtily as he stopped in front of me and peered down at me under hooded eyes, making me feel as though he could disassemble my entire world with just a shift of those knowing eyes. “But you’ll be happy to know, despite your unfavorable opinion of me, that I know nothing of what went on at the witch’s house other than the fictional account you told everyone downstairs.”

Relief washed over me and suddenly, I felt horrible for even thinking it let alone saying it out loud. I should have known better than that—I should have known him better—but after what happened with his Sire and the stark change in his demeanor toward me lately, I just couldn’t be sure of anything anymore. Until things went back to normal, nothing was out of the realm of possibilities or fully off the table.

“What I do know, however,” he said as he tilted forward and dropped his voice, “is Hellhounds.”
