SYNOPSIS:
This book continues the story
of Jazz and Sebastian's fated love affair.
Sebastian abandoned Jazz at the end of book one and returns to his home
world of Aidensdein, which was burned to the ground when Jazz escaped from his
nemesis Brennan. He is kept busy
rebuilding the city and restoring order to his people.
Unfortunately, Jazz is left
alone to transform into a part-vampire and deliver their child on her own. Seb, of course does not know that she is even
pregnant when he leaves her. As Jazz
tries to survive the changes to her own body and raise a young vampire, she
finds herself being drawn into a relationship with someone who looks very much
like Seb. Can she trust this stranger,
or should she be wary?
EXCERPT:
Seb led me into the Library
and headed over to a day bed located next to a window, which overlooked the
pool area. Sitting down next to each
other with our backs to the book lined walls, I felt very overwhelmed by the
opulent lifestyle Seb was accustomed to.
I was not used to being around such grandeur and I found myself feeling
very intimidated.
“Jazz, I’ve been putting off
this conversation since I got back, but there are things you need to hear! You may not like what I am going to say, but
it is a necessary outcome of our lives together.”
I did not answer. I just sat there numbly waiting for his
spoken words.
Seb began, “When I left
before, when we made love and I bit you and you drank my blood, I had hoped
that you would fall pregnant.” He paused
drew in a breath before continuing. “I
had been to one of our worlds most trusted authoritarians, to find out if it
was at all possible for us to have a child.
I did plan it, in a way, but I never planned for you to be left here
alone, to fend for yourself! That was
just an unforeseen circumstance!”
“Seb, do you mean you were
intending to stay?” I asked. He nodded
in reply.
“I was not planning for the
uprise against Brennan and I did not expect for Aidensdein to be burned to near
annihilation. These acts were out of my
control. I had hoped that you would fall
pregnant with my child, but I did not intentionally decide to leave you here to
fend for yourself. It was a spur of the
moment decision that I made from the guilt of leaving my family and friends to
suffer alone, unsupported. I did not
know you would become pregnant so easily and had every intention of returning
to you as soon as I could.” Seb paused
for a moment before continuing.
“At that time I did not know
about the uniting ritual. I found out
only recently from reading the old records, I had uncovered during the
rebuilding of Aidensdein, that a son born between human and vampire must ‘unite’ with an adult of similar gender
and it is best done with one of a similar gene to that of the father.”
“What do you mean, ‘unite’, Seb?” I asked.
“I or another male vampire
needs to feed from Auron and Auron needs to feed from the adult male, who he
unites with. He will need to continue
this exchange during the developmental years of his life or he will weaken and
quite possibly die! As he is still an
infant, he has slowed his growth rate until the time of uniting, apparently his
first birthday is a critical point in the process. Jazz, I swear I did not know. I would have been here sooner, if I knew you
were carrying our child.”
“But Seb, I still do not
understand why you stayed away for so long?” I asked hoping to hear an answer I could
relate too.
“It really was
unintentional, I only meant to return to find out if my family had
survived. Then I saw just how much work
needed to be done, and I just could not leave until some order had been
restored. My father, not being capable
of bringing about order, in the state his mind he was in, it was left to me to
bring the city under control and rebuild.
By then time here had moved ahead and I had left it too long to come
back.”
“For your protection I had
the portholes sealed and allowed no-one to enter this world, but when I
discovered this information about the uniting ceremony I decided to come myself
to check on you. When I discovered you
with Ryan, I was heartbroken, but I blamed myself for leaving you alone for so
long! I had no idea that Ryan was
playing some game of his own! Watching
you and with the information I had discovered, I had to help you, I had to be
with you! I am so sorry.” He tried to wrap me in his arms, but I pulled
away from him and he continued on.
“Jazz, after the uniting
takes place, Auron will not be able to live here on Earth, he will need to return
to my world.”
“Wh…Wha..Why, Seb, what are
you saying?”
“He will grow quickly and
noticeably, and if he stays here, he may become unmanageable! He will have a blood lust which will be
uncontrollable and if left here on Earth, it will cause him only pain and
insanity! Jazz, I will need to take him
back, do you understand? I will need to
go back with him. I won’t be able to
stay here with you, even though in my heart that is all I have ever desired!”
“Seb, what, what do you
mean?” I screamed.
“I am going to have to
return to Aidensdein with our son, Jazz.
I cannot take you back with us, my world is not ready to forgive what
damage was caused at your expense, and I would not risk your safety!”
Seb tried to reason with me,
but I was not going to give in that easily.
Hysterically, I kneeled in front of him, clutching his knees! “No, Seb you can’t. You cannot leave me again, please do not take
my son! Please, Seb!”
So what do you think happens next?

Unable to bear her pleading (and realizing that he couldn't give her up anyway), Seb vows that he won't separate her from Auron and he'll find some way to protect her at Aidensdein.
Ta da!
Wow, well as a mother, my guess is regardless of her feelings, anger at Seb that Jazz is going to end up going with her son Auron to Aidensdein. It is obvious despite her protests that she still has some feelings for Seb. Not sure if Ryan is going to put up a fight.
My stab in the dark as to what happens next would be that Jazz refuses to let Seb take their child to his world unless she can go with. Despite what had happened in relation to Jazz in his world he reluctantly agrees causing her some relief but uproar in Seb's world. Just a guess. :)
The book sounds awesome. Thanks for the exceprt and giveaway.
