Blood Moon (14 page)

“
Daisy, of
course.”

Selena hit the brakes again. “You left
newborn pups with a poltergeist for a nanny?”

“
Relax.” Dr. Delph waved
his hand. “Daisy is harmless. If you’re so worried about the pups,
take them in. You know Logan will help you, pack or not. And
children always seem to gap the bridge between feuding
family.”

Selena glared at him. “Logan and his
imitation wolf can rot. I’m not doing this to make nice with
them.”

“
But you
will
do it?” Dr. Delph
raised an eyebrow.

“
I’ll do it,” she said,
shifting uncomfortably in her seat. Agreeing with the doctor always
seemed to backfire, but he was right about one thing. She’d killed
the pups’ father. The least she could do was raise them up
right.

“
When’s Graham due back?”
Selena asked, changing the subject. “It don’t seem right for the
mayor to be missing his own damn festival.”

Dr. Delph was quiet for a long stretch,
making her wonder if he’d dozed off, or fallen into one of his
trances. When he looked up at her, there were storms in his
eyes.

“
There is no hurry,” he
said softly. “Trouble can wait.”

DEATH AT FIRST
SIGHT

A SPERO HEIGHTS NOVEL

Lia James would give anything to
be normal.

Struck with horrific, daily
visions of death isn’t what any sane person would consider gifted.
Her only consolation is that Sheriff Saunders, her shady keeper,
does what he can to change the outcome of her visions—at least, the
ones that might lead to a swanky promotion.

Christian Delph is not a normal
doctor, and his patients’ maladies are not found in the average
medical journal. As the head therapist of Orpheus House in Spero
Heights, he sees everything—and usually before it happens. The one
thing he didn’t see coming was Lia, and all the ways she would turn
his fragile world inside out.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

As always, much thanks is
due to my beta readers, my critique group: The Four Horsemen of the
Bookocalypse, THE professor George Shelley, and
my sexy, man-beast of a husband, with his great big
vocabulary. Thank you all for the typo zappin’ and loose-end
catchin’. It means the world to me. All remaining errors are my
own.

I would also like to thank
everyone who has ever left me a nice review or sent a nice email.
You make this writing thing totally worth it. While I’m at it, I’d
also like to thank anyone who has ever left a bad review. You make
the nice ones more credible. And you provide the kind of harsh
criticism that sometimes helps improve my work.
Sometimes
.

I hope you all enjoy the
new series.
