Known as the Night Bird, Emma Samson dedicates her afterlife to a solitary existence on Lost Isle easing the passage of the dying. When she finds Travis, weak and desperate to right a terrible wrong, she gifts him a few more days to settle his affairs.
“Where am I?”
His voice accusing and laced with warning. “What happened to the men on
board my ship?”
The ominous
furrowing of his brow held her in place, fearful of coming closer. She knew
nothing of this man, shared only one common bond, the blood that bound them
together.
From across the
room, she watched him struggle to sit up. “More direct would be, what the devil has happened here? To cause this strange uncertainity draped upon me” he said, running a
hand across his face. Long, tapered fingers traced his cheeks as if seeking
some familiarity before his hand dropped to his lap. “Tis as if I’m not really
here.” His voice shook with suspicion.
Emma knew the
disjointed feeling, remembered the questionable surge as the body adjusted, the
heady rush of adrenaline shortly after transformation.
“Please…” The
stranger’s voice broke through her thoughts. “I must know. What’s happened to my ship? The lives
of my men?”
The soft glowing
candle illuminated the inky darkness that had fallen as the last light of sun
disappeared beyond the horizon.
She met his
questioning stare. “The ship you speak of went down. Only charred and
splintered wood remains, along with a few barrels of oil carried in with the
tide. There were no suvivors.”
"What am I then, if not proof that all aboard did not perish?" If I survived surely there are others."
"You did not survive. Your body drowned. I found you floating with the tide and pulled you to shore."
OOOOOOohhh gives me shivers just thinking about it!
Here’s a recap of what some reviewers have said:

What a charming
story!

Literally. Emma has one gift to give the man near death--time. Time to come to
terms with his death, time to rectify a wrong, time to love once more.
Teresa Blue's debut novella is a winner. Emma's earlier sacrifice tugs at the

I highly recommend this novella. I don't like to give away too
much in any review I write, and I won't make an exception here, but I can tell
you that you will not be disappointed with this read!
From the very first paragraph I was invested in this story. I was drawn into
the mood and the characters. Emma is the perfect heroine for this story and
Travis is not only sexy and manly as the hero, but tender and vulnerable...

From the very first paragraph I was invested in this story. I was drawn into
the mood and the characters. Emma is the perfect heroine for this story and
Travis is not only sexy and manly as the hero, but tender and vulnerable at the
same time.
Teresa Blue has a wonderful way of weaving her words together to bring her
characters to life and put the reader right into the scene. Each word she used
to describe what was happening was so well chosen, it made everything so crisp
and easy to visualize. Top it off with Emma's emotion and caring attitude to
her past, her present and her future and I was a goner. I didn't put this story
down until I reached the end.
Beautifully written with twists and turns I didn't expect, I loved following
along with Emma and Travis as they revealed themselves to each other...and the
story was revealed to the reader. There were several times I was caught by
surprise and that's a real treat when reading a story.
I'm not a professional reviewer, but if I were, I'd give this 2 thumbs up, 5
stars and lots of satisfied sighs!
