Half-vampire Cat Crawfield is now Special Agent Cat Crawfield, working for the government to rid the world of the rogue undead. She’s still using everything Bones, her sexy and dangerous ex, taught her, but when Cat is targeted for assassination, the only man who can help her is the vampire she left behind.
Being around Bones awakens all her emotions, from the adrenaline rush of slaying vamps side by side to the reckless passion that consumed them. But a price on her head – wanted: dead or half-alive – means her survival depends on teaming up with Bones. And no matter how hard Cat tries to keep things professional between them, she’ll find that desire lasts forever … and Bones won’t let her get away again.

Quotes edit see section history

  • “Absolutely ravishing. I'm going to spend hours reacquainting my mouth with every inch of your body, and I can barely wait to see if you taste as good as remember.”
    Bones
  • “It's all right, Kitten," Bones said. "He won't shoot."Tate lowered his gun even as the sudden dizziness from blood loss made me sway. Bones took my gun and casually handed it to Juan, who gaped at him in amazement."You called her Kitten? And she let you? She put me in a coma for three days when I called her that! My balls never recovered from her smashing them into my spine!""And well she should have," Bones agreed. "She's my Kitten, and no one else's.”
    Bones and Juan
  • “She's my kitten, and no one else's.”
    Bones
  • “I have been stabbed, shot, burned, bitten, beaten unconscious too many times to count, and even staked. None of those held a candle to the pain I felt at seeing his mouth on hers.”
    Catherine Crawfield
  • “And that, Annette, is called Pilates.”
    Cat
  • “Juan gave Bones the most admiring look he’d bestowed on him yet. “You talked her into going without panties all these years? Madre de Dios, now that’s impressive. I could learn a great deal from you, amigo.”
    Juan
  • “Why did he have to be so gorgeous? Why did he have to stand so close, and why did I still love him so much?”
    Cat
  • “...cursing my heels and debating whether it was faster to stop and take them off--damn ankle straps!--or keep running with the potential neck breakers. Wouldn’t that make a charming epitaph? Here lies Cat. Killed not by fang, but Ferragamos.”
    Cat
  • “Wrong way, Bones. The men's showers are in the opposite direction.”
    Tate
  • “Where are you, bloodsuckers? Here, fangy, fangy, fangy...”
    Cat
  • “I'll file that away with all the other information that doesn't pertain to me.”
    Bones
  • “Do you know what you’ve done?” I asked in a bland tone. Annette gave me an inquiring look. “You’ve gotten on my last nerve.” The table went crashing into her before she could blink, and then my fist found a home in her perfectly arranged hair.”
    Cat and Annette
  • “Shit. I hated her already, and we hadn’t even met.”
    Cat talks about Annette
  • “Now I am short on some props, and there isn't nearly enough time in one night to run through all the ways I've fantasized about taking you, but I promise you this..." His voice deepened, "You'll be scandalized in the morning when you can think again.”
    Bones
  • “I'd address his way of trying to discourage Ian later. After all, he could have come up with something other than saying I was a whiny, smelly, trumpet-snoring bad lay.”
    Cat
  • “You know what they say. Once you go undead, there's no one better in bed!”
    Cat
  • “Got any stock tips?” I couldn’t help but ask. “The government doesn’t pay shit for salary.”
    Cat
  • “Yeah, isn't it? Life's a bitch and then one stabs you.”
    Cat
  • “I wanted to ram a stake through her heart because she's a shallow bitch who pisses me off. It had nothing to do with you.”
    Cat
  • “Vampire territorialism. It really didn't care who was innocent or not.”
    Cat
  • “If anyone's under a spell, Justina, it's me. Your daughter put one on me five years ago, and I haven't broken free of it yet. Oh, and you'll be delighted to know, we've decided to resume our relationship. Don't bother with congratulations-trust me, your expression is congratulations enough.”
    Bones
  • “Now, unless you have a real emergency, I'd like to get back to my vacation. And my corpse, thanks.”
    Cat
  • “You called her Kitten? And she let you? She put me in a coma for three day s when I called her that! My balls never recovered from her smashing them into my spine!”
    Juan
  • “Really, old chap, you're as excited over my blood as any vamp is over a juicy artery. Sure you're not hiding some family traits?”
    Bones
  • “For God's sake , Catherine! What is wrong with you? Did he put you under a spell again?" "If anyone's under a spell, Justina, it's me. Your daughter put one on me five years ago, and I haven't broken free of it yet. Oh, and you'll be delighted to know, we've decided to resume our relationship. Don't bother with congratulations-trust me, your expression is congratulations enough.”
    Justina and Bones
  • “And don't think I've forgotten that it was your manipulating that kept me alone the past several years. Just for that, I'd fancy peeling your skin off like an orange while you were alive and screaming, but that's off topic.”
    Bones to Don
  • “Anyone ill-mannered enough to eavesdrop when they can choose to ignore us listens at their own peril”
    Bones
  • “Congratulations on a magnificent display of unsportsmanlike conduct. What a dirty fighter you are. Somebody really skilled must have trained you." I laughed even though it hurt. "Yeah. An arrogant bastard.”
    Bones and Cat
  • “Why don’t I just give you a pair of panties to wear around your neck? Then whenever you feel jealous, you can wave them at whoever’s pissing you off.”
    Cat
