She can't hear a thing from him! But unfortunately she is a little creeped out by his partner. Kristy then goes to the police and talks to the homicide detective on the Cupid case and tells him that she can hear thoughts and that she heard the Cupid killer planning her murder. The guy laughs at her. Then a journalist approaches her and asks her to tell him what she knows about the Cupid killer cause he is bound an determined to be the one to help catch him.
She blows him off. One day she heads to the office to turn in some sample articles to be the final determination as to whether she scores the job or not and she hears Owen, creepy partner thinking that he would love to tie her up naked to his bed posts and torture her.
Then he acted all nervous and quickly told her he had a meeting and had to go. Kristy then gets into contact the journalist and refuses to tell him everything and asks him to look into Owen and says she suspects him to be the Cupid killer. Kristy ends up going to lunch with Adrian and he kept flirting with her and before she knew it they were having a passionate kiss on the street. Then all of a sudden she gets a flash of an image of herself naked and dead with the Cupid's message written on her body.
She assumes that she can't hear his thoughts but is reading them in pictures and freaks on him and accuses him of being the killer and then he freaks and shocked her by saying that since he was 15 he would get visions of the future and that he had a vision of her dead by the Cupids hand. She then tells him of her little talent and what happened at the coffee shop and he decides that he is going to protect her. The next night Adrian comes over and she cooks dinner for her and they end up in bed together.
Then afterward she asks him to stay the night and they go out to get some wine from the kitchen and the phone rings and she decides to let it go. The machine picks up and you hear the journalist leaving a message for Kristy telling her he finished digging up dirt on Owen and it turns out he is a murderer!! Adrian gets pissed and makes it clear that it is over between them, but before leaving he tells her that Owen was 7 when he shot and killed his step father in the middle of him trying to cut his mother's finger off.
He tells her that there is no way that the journalist isn't going to run with the story and that it would not just emotionally ruin his best friend and partner but it would most likely ruin the magazine as well. Two days later it is Valentine's day. Adrian still kept his "date" and plan to hang out to try to catch the killer, but things were strained between them.
Then while walking around the city They see on tv screens in windows that breaking news that the Cupid killer stuck again earlier that morning! Adrian decides that she is safe now and has his car take her home and he just walked away with parting words, "It's over now, Kristy.
With Macaroni and cheese in the oven and she starts melting chocolate on the stove in a saucer to dip bananas in and she leaves a message telling Adrian that she is sorry and that she really would like him and even Owen to come over to talk it out. Adrian listens to the message while sitting at a bar with Owen while he steadily got drunk. He relayed the message to Owen and he says he is going home to be alone.
Adrian has a bad feeling. Kristy gets a knock on the door and answers expecting to see Adrian and sees Owen standing at her door. He quickly pushes his way in and starts asking her why? In his thoughts he thinks to himself that he could kill her and just squeeze that pretty little neck of hers. She freezes and decides not to close the door and stays by it.
He goes off on her and she asked him if Adrian told him what she could do. He rolled his eyes and said that they were BOTH crazy and full of it. So she proved her ability and repeated what he had thought when he first walked in. He freaked and then started saying he couldnt believe she thought he was the killer and then he fell on the floor in front of her and began to sob.
Feeling horrible she gets on the floor with him and consoles him and tells him that he needs to face what happened all those years ago and that he had the love and support of his best friend and that he needs to turn to him and not away from him during his time of need. Then all of a sudden Adrian was in the doorway saying that she was right.
They all make up and Owen goes home. Adrian stays behind to talk more with Kristy and while they were kissing he got a vision of her dead by the Cupids hand again. He hurries to go down to the car to get his hammer and rope to prepare for the killer and hide in her closet as planned. When she opens the door to him it turns out not to be him but to be the journalist!! Thats right folks the cupid killer is the journalist! He knew she could read minds and found that fascinating.
He had beat the crap out of Adrian and tied him up and dragged him into a closet in the lobby of the apartment building. She fights him and takes the chocolate and throws it on his face. Then opened the oven door so that while he was walking towards her blinded by the chocolate he tripped and fell on the hot oven door.
LOTS of screaming and she finally manages to get to the door and unlock and open it just in time to see Adrian all bloody and grabbing her, then all the neighbors start opening the doors and the police show up.

So, for anyone that has been following this series for years you know what the story-line is going to constant of.
Unfortunately for this book it did not follow that guide. We have met Tiny and Mirabeau in many other books and I thought since this is their story then we will get the epic love story, but that was not the case. Tiny is one of these characters that everyone falls in love with.
He is sweet and a protector.

I just wanted him to be able to get the story that he deserved, and he did not. He was not changed, he did not have no love scenes, and we do not know what happened with his family. That was his main concern when it came to him being a life-mate. He did not want to leave his family and that was never resolved.
Even in other short stories all the guidelines are followed. May 06, Kristy Halseth rated it really liked it. I literally bought this book for one story, the first one, Argeneau This story works as a novella and explains why I had actually forgotten about Dani's sister and what happened to her.

It becomes clear why this is a novella. I'm guessing the author didn't thing there was quite enough material here for a full novel. And yes, it was worth buying a book for three short stories just for this one story. And this also gives me two other authors to look up when I need something new and I can read their books in order and have these 'half' books when I get to them. Admittedly I should have waited to read this in order, but I was honestly so curious about whether to continue this series or not.
And I will not lie, I was very pleasantly surprised this was short and sweet. She Admittedly I should have waited to read this in order, but I was honestly so curious about whether to continue this series or not. She was honestly the reason i chose this book, because from the moment we meet her in a quick bite; she was so interesting to me and I wanted more because I loved Lissi and her friendship.

Popular ebooks. Marguerite followed, and when she knelt to help him collect them, he asked quietly, "What's Leigh's good news? Tiny's eyebrows rose, and he started to smile as well, but the expression died as he recalled how crushed Leigh and Lucian had been when she had miscarried the first time.
If she lost this one as well-- "She's more than three months along. This one should carry to term," Marguerite said reassuringly, proving she still had the bad habit of reading his mind. I think she was afraid announcing it before that then would jinx it. From what he'd heard, the first miscarriage had been a terrible blow to the couple. He wasn't surprised they'd waited to announce this one.
Tiny hesitated and glanced to the women now all gathered now at the far end of the room. Terri, Leigh, and Inez all wore traditional white wedding gowns in various styles.
Jackie, Jeanne Louise, Lissianna, and Rachel, who were acting as bridesmaids wore pastels-- pink, aqua, and lavender. They all looked exquisite. They were gorgeous, and they could read his thoughts. Much as he hated to admit it, not all those thoughts were stellar. He was a man after all. She patted his shoulder reassuringly. They are used to mortal men and their stray thoughts. Knowing she had something else to say, Tiny paused and glanced back in question.
Marguerite hesitated, then murmured, "After the recent trouble, it is nice to have so much to celebrate. Finally, she breathed out a little sigh, and simply asked, "You will be careful on this assignment? The woman was always treating him like a child who couldn't take care of himself. It was sweet but— "I know you can take care of yourself, Tiny," she assured him quickly.
She then rushed on, "But this is no-fangers we are dealing with here and—" "Hang on," Tiny interrupted suddenly as realization struck. Lucian said it was top secret.
