Mortal Wish (Scanguards Vampires - A Novella). Scanguards Vampires

Jake Stone arrives on a secluded island, drawn by whispers of a magical spring-his desperate, singular hope. As a vampire, he craves just one thing: mortality. Eons of unfulfilling, lonely existence have left him weary, yearning for the simple release of an end. But the island holds another soul on the brink: Claire Culver. Her journey to this mystical place is a final, desperate gamble, a plea for a miracle to cure a terminal illness.
For Claire, this Christmas might be her last. As their paths collide, two desperate wishes hang in the balance. Will the spring grant Claire the miracle she so desperately needs, or will this holiday season mark her final farewell? And can Jake, in his pursuit of mortality, find a reason to truly live again, even as a forbidden connection sparks between them? Where does this novella fit into the Scanguards timeline?It takes place several years before Samson's story kicks off the Scanguards Vampires series in San Francisco with Samson's Lovely Mortal.
Jake is first mentioned in Quinn's Undying Rose. Well-loved Scanguards characters-Gabriel, Zane, and Amaury-will make an appearance in this short novella. ABOUT THE SERIESThe Scanguards Vampires series is full of fast-paced action, scorching love scenes, witty dialogue, and strong heroes and heroines. Vampire Samson Woodford lives in San Francisco and owns a security/bodyguard company, Scanguards, which employs both vampires and humans.
And eventually some witches. Throw in a few immortal guardians and demons later in the series, and you'll get the drift! Each book can be read as a standalone and always centers around a new couple finding love, but the series is more enjoyable when read in order. And of course, there are always a few running jokes - you'll understand when you meet Wesley, a wannabe witch. Enjoy! Lara Adrian, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Midnight Breed series: "I'm addicted to Tina Folsom's books! The Scanguards® series is one of the hottest things to happen to vampire romance.
