It was a game they played, only it wasn't a game. Maggie Marks held on to Elijah's childhood promises as a way of escaping a life that was far from perfect.

Elijah was in love with her, but she was afraid loving him would eventually mean losing him too.

I live a double life…and no one in my family knows it. No, I’m not a spy or CIA or special forces or anything…but sometimes it seems like being a matchmaker is nearly as dangerous. Men and women come from all over for my business, Hound Dog, where I utilize rescue dogs as a way to help people attract and find their perfect match. Over 80 percent of my clients end up adopting the dogs I pair them with. And 90 percent of them find their “soulmate" after using my services. Too bad I don’t believe in soulmates. But fact is, that sort of cynicism won’t pay the bills.

It's scary, but I've tried to accept that this is all my new life can be, and I'm making the best of it. But then I went and slept with my boss.

With my possessive god, my hot shifter, and my stubborn vampire, I felt a kind of safety and peace I never imagined in this life. We began to feel like a family. But all of that is gone now.
