Melissa R. Smith

Newly revised-March 2013!
After being told by her unconventional preacher father that she has to marry a man she’s never met, Madeline Stevens checks herself into a hotel room, determined to end her suffering. Little did she know, a glance at an ad in the hotel’s phone book would lead her to a mysterious man named Reece and the beginning of six hours she would never forget.

There is one problem.

Reece Summerall is no ordinary man. A Sanguine who’s existed for over a hundred years, he never thought it was possible to find a companion until he became completely blindsided. When Reece is forced to take a drastic step in order to save Madeline’s life, he unwillingly binds the two of them together forever. When she learns the truth about him, will they be able to go their separate ways or will their strong bond bring them back together? Or will her father’s teachings ultimately drive a wedge between them?
