**Excerpt**
She looked at the stranger with his dark hair that hung to his shoulders and his brown eyes that were so dark they were nearly black.
He wasn’t as pretty as the Red Eyes, but his ruggedness, the sheer masculinity he exuded was hard to dismiss. In fact, it was difficult for her to look away from him.
How could a man appear sensitive and ferocious at the same time? And yet, he did. Lexi had the insane urge to rest her head on his chest. A black shirt was stretched tight over his hard muscles.
She had to look up at him he was so tall. Lexi frowned as she noticed his incredibly long, dark eyelashes. Then she made the mistake of looking down.
He had a mouth that made her dream of spending hours kissing him. His lips were wide and captivating. Perhaps it was the effects the Red Eyes had on her that made her look at him with such longing.
But she had a suspicion that the stranger was always charming and fascinating. She’d noticed it the first time. Only she had refused to acknowledge it. This time, she couldn’t help herself.
His gaze watched her as if he were waiting for her to come to a conclusion. Her time in Edinburgh had proven that she couldn’t trust anyone. Handsome or not, strangers were enemies.
“I’m just trying to help,” he said and took a step toward her.
Lexi had turned her head to the second man right before then. She was so wound up that she reacted before she thought twice about it and stabbed him.
“Dammit,” he said between clenched teeth. His fingers tightened around her wrist.
“Stop doing that.”
Lexi blinked in confusion. He acted as if she’d actually hit her target. That couldn’t be right. He would’ve reacted with pain, not stood there as if nothing had happened.
She glanced down at her knife and felt as if she had been knocked flat on her back. There was blood on the blade. Her gaze jerked to his left side where she saw a dark, wet stain on his sweater.
Lexi took a step back, suddenly more afraid than she had been before. “Leave me alone,” she said and held up the knife.
“I would, lass, if you would but come to your senses and stop following the Dark around.”
