I'm cursed.
There's no cure for what ails me. I'm part man, part draugar; a Viking warrior
shifter who protects the dead. I'm a selfish bastard, numb to the world around
me, surviving only to avenge my wife and mother's murder. One emotion —anger—keeps me alive. At least,
it did until I met TJ Knight and my icy heart began to beat once more.
I was all
wrong for her yet I craved her in ways I never imagined. So making a deal with
her to save that cute ass from a death mark probably wasn't the smartest thing
I'd ever done. If I could manage to keep my hands off her, I might just stay in
one piece.
The other
thing? It turns out we have a mutual enemy. If we can work together, we might
be able to find and destroy him. Trouble is, now it seems I have to kill TJ to
give her a chance at living. Killing was my favourite thing but bringing her
back to life? Now that might prove a problem...
Excerpt
The smell that lingered in the air
from the absent dead body burnt my nostrils, but still I bent over the grave,
got up close and personal with the empty coffin, attempting to work out who—or
what—would want to be a body snatcher.
It hadn't been taken long; I could
still feel the buzz of bad energy. The stench wasn't from the rotting corpse.
Nope, it was due to the magic shifting around where the body had been. Yeah, I
said magic and it was normal for me to smell the stuff.
You see, my name's TJ Knight, and I
work for Battle Security and have done so for almost eighteen months after
being head-hunted while in the army. Battle Security was a department of the
Catholic Church. I work for God, you might say.
You might also say I am quite
unusual but I'm not really. There are a lot of people like me around if only
you open your eyes and take a look. And I've certainly seen some shit. Magical
beings—or wizards—are everywhere. Battle Security specialises in things that go
bump in the night, and it's all around you if you know where to look. And I
know where to look. Or where to stick my nose.
Which
is why I earn the big bucks for sniffing newly popped bodies, and get called
out in the middle of a date.
