Book Description
Enjoy this paranormal military romance by bestselling author S.B. Alexander I didn’t know true misery until Webb went missing. My heart is frozen in anguish as icy as the Alaskan terrain we scoured in search of him. Others have abandoned the hunt, convinced all hope is lost. But I refuse to give up. My dreams warned me of the danger coming for Webb. There’s a chance they could lead me to him. If I only could fall into a restful sleep that now eludes me. The stress is taking its toll on my body and powers. Until the phone rings. They say they’ll trade my life for his. Warn me that I must come alone. With the watchful eyes of my father and brother, it will be next to impossible to escape. Still, I will stop at nothing to save the man I love.

Friends, Family and Romance among these Vampire Navy Seals!" BookDragonGirl “Although character driven, the action and suspense keep you turning the pages wanting to see what will happen. I was so pulled in that I was completely oblivious to what was going on around me.
