Part of Argeneau, book 9
First published 2008
Marguerite Argeneau has lived for seven centuries, but now she's finally starting a career as a private investigator. Her debut case seems straightforward: locate an immortal's missing mother. The assignment takes a deadly turn when Marguerite wakes to find a sword pointed at her throat. She's stumbled into something far more dangerous than a simple missing person case. Julius Notte steps in to shield her from the threat, though his motives run deeper than mere chivalry. He recognizes Marguerite as his destined lifemate, a connection she hasn't yet discovered. Julius hasn't pursued a woman in over five centuries, but he's confident his courtship skills remain intact. He faces one crucial challenge: keeping Marguerite breathing long enough for their romance to flourish and reach its inevitable happy conclusion.
