Immune: A Sexy Urban Fantasy Mystery (Rylee Adamson # 2)

by Mayer, Shannon

  For a brief second, I gave in and Tracked O’Shea, needing to feel him close even if it was just his emotions. Rage flooded me, bloodlust and shame following close on its heels. I sucked in a sharp breath, biting back tears and shutting down the connection between us. Please God let him be able to shift form, please don’t let him be trapped as Alex was.

  I stood there a few minutes longer, my mind whirling with possibilities, decisions and outcomes. None of which I liked. There was really only one way to do this, no matter how much I hated to.

  Stepping back into the kitchen, I looked over at my friend. Milly sat at the table, her hands folded on top, an air of tension thrumming between us.

  “Have you made a decision,” she asked, green eyes wide with hope.

  “Yes,” I replied, and she smiled, relief on her face.

  “I knew you’d do the right thing, Rylee.”

  I didn’t smile back at her; this was the only way I could see working for everyone. Taking a long slow breath in, I held it until I was dizzy. Letting the air out, I said the words, knowing they would change everything.

  “Alex stays.” I gripped the edge of the table. “And you have to move out.”

  Can’t wait for the next book in Rylee’s adventures?

  Immune was one of those books that came out of nowhere and took me along for the ride. As always, my team of editors, Melissa Breau and NL “Jinxie” Gervasio to whom I owe a great deal when it comes to my books being as clean as they are. Not to mention the fact that I learn something new about writing and edits every time I work with these amazing gals.

  This last couple of months have been a bit of a roller coaster ride, and my family and friends have put up with not seeing me much as I worked hard to bring Immune to the table. Thanks for your patience, support and phone calls to make sure I’m still alive.

  To my readers, wow, you AMAZE ME! Reviews, messages, emails and tweets all because you love my characters as much as I do. Thank you, these are the things that make the hard days easy.

  My hubby as always deserves a special shout out. He has to put up with a messy house, half cooked meals, and a wife who mutters under breath about her characters on a regular basis. You are the reason I’ve come as far as I have, thank you for encouraging me to push back my fears and chase my dreams; to the moon and back I will love you always.
