A West Texas cowgirl, an immortal vampire, and a gift that answers to a whistle. Alexandria Montgomery is beautiful, sharp-tongued, and charming enough to make trouble feel like good company. With sapphire eyes, a deep Southern drawl, impeccable manners, and a supernatural gift that makes the world answer her call, she’s anything but an ordinary vampire. When she joins the Cullen family, she catches the attention of Jasper Whitlock, a fellow Texan whose century-old composure begins to unravel around her. Between shared memories, wicked banter, quiet moments, and a connection neither expected, Jasper falls first. But Alex has never belonged to anyone, and eternity has taught her not to take anything—or anyone—for granted. As dangerous secrets surrounding her gift begin to surface, their growing affection is tested by the politics and perils of the vampire world. After all, falling in love is one thing. Convincing a stubborn cowgirl to stay is another.
