  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  * * *

  As a young girl, Shania has always been fascinated with the world of vampires, dragons, fairies, elves and angels. So strong was her fascination that she always felt there is indeed such a world out there. A world where creatures of supernatural powers can transcend beyond time and space, not confined to the rules of the human world, and being able to live for eternity.

  In Shania’s writings, you will find an infusion of passionate romance, action and mystery, and sometimes with a touch of suspense. She enjoys creating a dark complex world containing entities of a supernatural or otherworldly nature and being able to bring a romantic flavour to the plot and amongst the characters. It brings her great joy to see her childhood fantasies becoming a reality through the pages that she wrote. Some of her inspirations of writings include Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight series, J.R. Ward’s The Black Dagger Brotherhood series and Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton .

  “Beautiful, don’t you think?”

  Startled, Kelly Green whirled to find herself facing a stranger, a gorgeous man with black hair. His stunning green eyes reminded her of a St. Patrick’s Day Kiss Me shirt. They were the kind of green that only belonged in wild fields and vast grasslands. They glowed in a way that seemed impossible . . . especially considering they were standing in the dark.

  The classical music selection floated through the large space. The engineering department had transformed the first floor of the administration building into a showroom, but the atmosphere seemed straight out of a ritzy lounge in New York.

  Soft purple lighting bounced off tapestries that hung from the walls, and the chandeliers overhead had been dimmed to a muted, romantic glow.

  Small, circular white tables held the projects each of the students had worked on. The winning project would be built in the middle of Morwen University’s open field, or The Square as many of the students called it.

  The Square sat directly in the middle of campus, and Kelly would often head there between classes with a blanket, grab a spot on the grass, and study up for her next course. She wasn’t the only one. Tons of students did the same; some of the guys used part of the field for football, Ultimate Frisbee, and quidditch.

  Kelly didn’t want to see the area filled with gazebos or a pool, as she’d heard some students were presenting. She thought a nice American flag would do. But she’d come to support a friend and planned on staying.

  “You don’t agree?” the man asked, and she suddenly realized she’d been staring at him for far too long.

  He was dressed in a black leather jacket left open to reveal a gray V-neck tee, a pair of dark jeans, and black boots; a look that seemed out of place for the occasion.

  Kelly looked up again and blinked. “Oh, the model.” She looked at the model on the table before her. It was fountain. A beautiful fountain, but a fountain nonetheless, and she wanted it nowhere near The Square. “It’s nice.” Was it just her or had the words held more breath than she’d planned? She glanced his way without fully turning toward him to gauge his reaction.

  There was the slightest tug at the corner of his perfect lips before his eyes became hooded and he said, “More than nice.” Was he talking about her? His eyes held hers without blinking and his message was clear.

  Something about the way he looked at her made her feel . . .

  Her cheeks stung, and she looked away.

  She’d thought that after attending Morwen University for four years and being heavily involved in its student government, she knew pretty much everyone on campus. At the very least, she knew every hot guy. Her friend Piper had made a list of the top twenty hunks, and there was no way that this guy hadn’t made her top three.

  “Do you go here?” she found herself asking.

  He took a step toward her, and Kelly lifted her eyes up to his.

  Big mistake.

  His eyes were straight out of dream, a swirl of the lushest green, like looking into a field of clovers. She could only imagine just how far that grin and those eyes got him with women.

  “Yeah, I go here,” he said in a hushed voice, as though he were sharing a dark secret.

  “Night school?” she asked. It was the only way he hadn’t been picked up on Piper’s radar.

  He chuckled, and his large hand came up to stroke his jaw. “Yeah, night school.” She noticed he wore a ring around his middle finger. The pure-blue stone was spectacular.

  “What are you studying?”

  His hand fell away, forcing her eyes back to his. “At the moment? You.”

  She giggled and shook her head, sure her face would split into two if she stuck around him long enough. “I mean, what program? Business? Law?” She lifted her hands to gesture toward the room. “Engineering?”

  “What do you study?” he asked.

  She narrowed her eyes, wondering why he’d dodged the question, but letting it go. “History.”

  He nodded and then managed to step even closer to her. “The air is warm in here. Would you like to step outside with me?”

  She lifted a brow. “Uh, it’s actually cooler in here.”

  “Then I change my mind,” he said smoothly. “The air is much too cool in here. Come outside with me?”

  She laughed again and tilted her head slightly. He had the slightest hint of an accent. European almost, but not quite. It was somehow . . . hard to her ears, with a roughness that seemed to come from his throat. “I have a boyfriend.”

  “Great. Does he allow you to go outside?” The playful smirk returned.

  She closed her eyes and managed to hold most of her laughter back. She’d been lying when she said she had a boyfriend. She’d had a boyfriend until earlier that semester, but he didn’t need to know the details. “Not with men in the middle of the night.” Or during the day, for that matter. The stranger’s handsomeness was only matched by his persistence, and Kelly was finding both very appealing.

  “Would it help if I promised to be on my best behavior?” His face was a mask of innocence, which only made Kelly laugh more.

  “Best behavior? I’ve a feeling your best would still get me into trouble.”

  “You’re right,” he smoothly said, a playboy glint sparkled in his eyes. “Honestly, I can’t picture any man being well-behaved with you around.”

  His words were like a blow to her gut, and she looked away. If only he knew.

  “Don’t men compliment you?” he asked. When she gave no reply, he lowered his voice and said, “When I came here tonight, I told myself I’d approach the most beautiful woman in the room. I didn’t know she’d be the most beautiful woma
n I’ve ever seen.”

  Kelly gripped the edge of the table.

  “And gods, those eyes . . . you should never be allowed to close them. They’re much too stunning to shut away from the world.” After a moment, he said, “Won’t you look at me?”

  She didn’t dare.

  “Shall I stop?” he asked.
