About This Book
Six years is a long time to carry someone in your dreams — long enough to convince yourself you've moved on. When Abigail Byrne is forced back into Brian Foley's orbit by a crisis she can't handle alone, all that carefully built distance collapses. He's a vampire with two centuries of darkness behind him, convinced he's lost the capacity for anything softer than survival. She's a woman running out of time to find her missing sister and running out of reasons to keep her feelings buried. The emotional tension here isn't just will-they-won't-they — it's two people who genuinely believe they can't have each other, and the slow, painful unraveling of that certainty.
Davies writes paranormal romance with a grounded emotional core that keeps the supernatural stakes from overwhelming the human ones. The pacing in Undone is particularly well-judged — the search for Abby's sister creates genuine urgency that runs parallel to the romantic tension without either thread feeling sacrificed for the other. Readers who find themselves frustrated when romance subplots stall will appreciate how purposefully every scene pulls double duty here.
