Waking for Winter

The Philadelphia Coven has thwarted the Order of the Serpent's every attempt to destroy their city, only to draw out the scariest nightmare from the Otherworld-the Caoranach. However, one member of the Philly Coven, Cami Akiyama, has already met this creature-the very monster who tortured her and branded her with a mark. Given their history, the Coven leader assigns her a bodyguard-none other than the gorgeous and lethal necromancer, Dante Martinez, the ex-boyfriend she'd disappeared on years ago. A single conversation confirms the spark between them never died, and based on the way Dante teases and flirts, he's not about to let that flame get snuffed out without a fight. No one has ever compared to the incendiary passion Dante inspired in her, but after being marked and broken by a monster, she's too damaged to rekindle any sort of relationship. Not like that stops him. If anything, he fights harder for the memories of a love that kept her sane on her bleakest nights. And despite every effort to distance, Cami finds herself falling for him all over again. Except the Caoranach doesn't just plan to devastate this city. The Caoranach possesses a deadly secret; one, when revealed, holds the power to shatter Cami completely.
