Return to the seductive world of Filthy Rich Vampires with Second Rite, the thrilling sexy continuation of Julian and Thea's story.
Thea Melbourne has a broken heart. A month after her world turned upside down, she’s struggling to return to the life she left behind. Her mother is in a coma, she’s selling off designer gowns to pay the bills, and her roommates seem to think she’s made of glass. But when the vampire who broke her heart shows up at the hospital, she learns a devastating secret.
To save the love of his life, Julian pushed her away. Now he has to live with the pain and regret...or find someone to put him out of his misery. When it becomes clear that Thea is still in danger, he has a choice to make. He can stay away like the Council demands or risk everything, including their lives, to win her back.
Convincing her means facing his own dark secrets and resisting the temptation to claim her as his mate once and for all. But Thea isn’t going to make that easy for him...
Julian broke Thea's heart. While he remains in Paris, Thea rushes home at news that her mother is back in the hospital. So Thea not only has all of that to deal with, but doing it with a broken heart is no joke. Her best friend had to basically drag her away to have lunch and some sense of normality.
Julian on the other hand is drowning his sorrows, or at least trying to. Vampire don't easily get drunk, but regardless, Julian is doing no better either.
Putting aside everything that's happened and the reasoning behind it, Julian makes the choice to go back and get his mate. Julian's return is bittersweet. Yes, he made the financial stress go away. Yes, Thea has her own mixed feelings. But the true shocker is Thea's mom instantly knowing what Julian is and as if things weren't complicated enough, that brought up way more questions.
Fast-forward and things are picking up. Thea and Julian move in together. Thea has her final and meets someone who has her own secret. Someone from the past emerges and brings shock to both Julian and Thea.
But the best part of all? Julian and Thea finally becoming mates in every way possible. They are meant to be, bonded for life, and true soulmates. Everything just seems to be amazing for them. But will it continue to be when they head off to Greece to deal with his family, the council and the rites?
Well... let's just say it's been damn interesting, otherwise I will spoil every damn thing there is about this book because it's just that amazing.
I love this series. Thea and Julian are doing so well, the second rite completed, Thea standing up to Julian's mother in the BEST way and finally getting answers to just what Thea is.
