Cinn had also arranged to have a small statue of a cholla cactus made in honor of Teddy. It would have a place of honor in her future backyard. The statue would serve to remind her that courage came in many different shapes and sizes. And sacrifice wasn’t reserved only for humans.

Now only one thing remained to make her dream home magical—a hot vampire.

Dacian slipped into bed beside her. She had a hard time believing this big beautiful man loved her, and that they’d have centuries to be together.

As he turned toward her, she blinked. “Wait, something’s different.” She drew her fingers down the side of his face and over his collarbone and chest. Her fingers shook. “Your scars. They’re gone.”

His gaze seared her with his love, his need for her. “I figured if everyone else could forgive me, then maybe I could forgive myself.”

She threw herself at him, laughing as he rolled onto his back and pulled her on top of him. “I have something for you.”

He ran his warm hand over her stomach and lower before sliding it between her legs. “I know.”

“No, no, something else.” She reached over to pluck an envelope from the night table. “Here. Read it. It’s from Eric.”

“This better be good, because I’m not a patient man tonight.” He ripped it open and glanced over the few words. Then he grinned at her. “A night game? When?”

She lowered her head until her lips touched his.

“Now.”
