This week my teaser comes from Nightshade: Guardian Calla Tor has always known her destiny. But when she violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy, Calla begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world she has known. By following her heart, she might lose everything--including her own life. Is forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice? From page 5:

The scent of fear covered him, taunting my predatory instincts, but beneath it lay something else--the smell of spring, of nascent leaves and thawing earth. A scent full of hope. Possibility. Subtle and tempting.
