Tall, Dark & Lonely: Pyte/Sentinel Series Book 1

When Madison's estranged mother resurfaced after years of absence and took her siblings to New Hampshire, Madison found herself in a position where she had no choice but to go along for the sake of her family. Once again, she had to set aside her own dreams to focus on creating a stable life for her younger siblings. However, the reality of their new situation quickly overwhelmed her as everything seemed to spiral out of control.

The frigid climate of New Hampshire was just one of the challenges. Madison was troubled by her fifteen-year-old sister's alarming behavior, which appeared to be reminiscent of a girl preparing for a dangerous future. The interactions with men around her sister felt inappropriate, and this left Madison feeling anxious and protective. Additionally, her boss was unbearable, making her quickly feel out of place in her new job.

Feeling like an outsider in her own life, Madison's friendship with what she thought was her best friend took an unexpected turn. The friend turned out to be a brash sixteen-year-old who only added to her frustrations. Not to mention, the stunningly attractive guy renting the adjacent room not only monopolized the bathroom with his frequent showers but also harbored a mysterious secret that Madison couldn't shake from her mind, despite repeated warnings to let it be.

On the other side of this narrative, Detective Ephraim Williams had long since learned to suppress his emotions and avoid attachment to other people. To him, forming bonds seemed pointless; people entered and exited his life while he remained constant. He expected little to change when, upon learning from his landlady that her grandchildren were moving in, he anticipated a return to solitude.

However, he quickly found himself grappling with overwhelming bloodlust every time the tantalizing scent of his new neighbor's blood wafted through the air. The situation became even more precarious whenever she cornered him and bombarded him with her incessant questions. Unbeknownst to Ephraim, this irritating and captivating neighbor was about to turn his world upside down.

To complicate matters, a Master from Ephraim's dark past resurfaced in his life, demanding his blood and ready to go to extreme lengths to obtain it. This sinister figure revealed a willingness to exploit the very neighbor who stirred emotions in Ephraim that he hadn’t felt in centuries, emotions beyond mere pain. The intertwining paths of Madison and Detective Williams were set against a backdrop of danger, desire, and a burgeoning connection that challenged their carefully constructed walls.

As Madison and Ephraim navigated their complicated lives, each forced to confront their fears and desires, they found themselves caught in a web of danger and unexpected emotions, leading them to question everything they thought they knew about family, love, and sacrifice. Would they find a way to protect what mattered most, or would the forces against them prove too powerful to overcome?
