Stung

By: Malone, Billie

Every winter, the desert town of Shadow Canyon whispers the same warning:
Never wander past midnight or the Scorpion King will claim you.

Gia never believed in ghost stories. Until the night she drives straight into the heart of a storm and crashes in the middle of Shadow Canyon. She's pulled from the wreckage by a stranger with eyes like molten amber and a voice that hums with danger. His name is Xander...and he's not human.

Cursed with venom in his veins and the power to command the desert's deadliest creatures, Xander is a legend made of flesh. His kiss can kill. Yet when he brushes Gia's skin, she doesn't wither...she burns.

Something in her blood answers his. Something ancient, impossible... fated.

But as their desire ignites and the storm outside mirrors the one between them, Gia realizes the truth: The Scorpion King isn't a myth. He's the boy she once loved and he's waited a lifetime for her return.

Now that he's found her, he'll never let her go again.
