Vampire’s Descent: Willow Harbor - Book Two
Page 16
Warm air blasted inside, sending her signature coconut scent to my nose. God, I loved the way she smelled. I loved her.
I watched her through the front window of the bookstore. She walked toward the willow tree. Once she reached it, she paced back and forth beneath its drooping branches in the shade they provided. She looked happy.
Beautiful and happy.
Claire had decided to stay in Willow Harbor and run her family’s bookstore, something her dad never thought she’d do. I had hoped she would, but knew if she chose not to, I’d pick up and follow her anywhere. She was where my heart was. She was my everything.
Her dad had taken the promise he made to Danny and their mother straight to heart. He’d packed up his belongings, sold his house, and went on the trip he’d always dreamed of after settling the claim with the insurance company for the repairs on the shop and signing it over to Claire.
Things had seemed to click into place for everyone over the last month, including me. I’d finally found peace. I no longer feared becoming like Aurora. Ida’s words had made me realize I had too much humanity inside me to allow something like that to ever happen. It was because of everything that happened that night I was able to feel a sense of contentment for the first time since being turned.
I reached into the box Claire had left for me to unpack and pulled out the top copies of my books. While they might not be something everyone in town would enjoy looking at in the front display case, I didn’t care. Claire didn’t either.
I glanced at her through the window again. A gust of wind blew, making the willow branches above her sway gently. Warmth settled into my soul. In that moment, everything felt right in the world. I finally felt as though I belonged somewhere.
Claire was my heart, and Willow Harbor was my home. It didn’t get any better than that.

As the last in a line of powerful witches, Eva McKay has been held captive for years by a greedy demon who treated her more like a possession than a human being. Three days ago, she escaped. Sure that he’s out searching for her, Eva runs as far and as fast as she can. That is, until exhaustion catches up with her and she crashes her car in the mysterious town of Willow Harbor.
Once a mighty triton, Nikolas Kosta is now a slave.

Both desperate for freedom and a life on their own terms, Nik and Eva are reluctant to open their hearts to anyone. But when Eva's captor tracks her down down and Nik's boss demands far more than he's willing to pay, will they have the courage to trust each other? Or will their freedom be taken from them forever?
