I wish there was only today, just right now, and no forever.

It seems fitting that I fell in love in Paris, the most beautiful city in the world. And if I pretend, I can almost believe that my life is normal and everyone I care about is safe.

But as long as I’m with Vincent, “normal” doesn’t exist. Gorgeous, charming, and witty, he’s everything you could ask for in a boyfriend—but his destiny is so much more.

Even more terrifying than his destiny are his dangerous enemies, enemies who will kill for immortality. How are Vincent and I supposed to be together forever if we’re always in danger?

I know I’ll do whatever it takes—even if it means lying to the people I love—to fight against a fate that is trying to tear us apart.
Exclusive Until I Die Excerpt

I laughed. And just like that, the force field of fear and worry dematerialized and I was kissing him. And he was kissing me. And as we touched, everything suddenly seemed very simple. It was just Vincent and me, and the world and all its complicated problems lost their importance. I pulled him closer to me.

“You’re...,” he began.

“Yes?” I said, tilting my head toward his.

“Hurting me,” he gasped, clenching his teeth.

“Oh no, what did I do?” My hands flew to my mouth.

He pressed his hand to his chest and tested it gently. “I forgot about the rib,” he said. We looked at each other for a second, and then both started cracking up, Vincent laughing carefully, his eyes scrunched up in pain.

“I guess I don’t know my own strength,” I joked, and leaned toward him again, holding him more softly this time and losing myself in the kiss. And then, in what seemed like seconds later, we were in the middle of the sun bed, Vincent lying down and me hovering above him on hands and knees with my hair draped around his face, sealing out the world. We were in our own mini universe. He reached up to hold my head in his hands as our lips met in a kiss that communicated everything we hadn’t been able to express with words.”

  20. The Greatest Love would be a love that is unselfish, and willing to do the hard things, especially if those hard things are what's best for the one you love. It's a love that endures.

  22. "Greatest Love", I would define as a love that withstands EVERYTHING thrown at you... good and bad... and the tests of time. You're each other's best friend AND lover. You're each other's world.

    Thanks!

  23. Greatest Love:

    Is loving others past the insecurities.
    Past the flaws.
    Loving past everything that makes us imperfect.
    And instead seeing them through loving eyes.
    As in fact, perfection.

  32. I think the greatest love would be when you love someone so much you cant imagine not ever being with them. great giveaway... i LOVE Die for Me!! Can't wait for Until I Die :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. Sacrifice, trust, faith, the willingness to go beyond what is need for the person, the understanding of when they did something wrong and it hurts that other person. Being able to not let go of that person even if they are near or far. Feel the pain and suffering when that person they love walk away hurt or in trouble.

    ReplyDelete
  34. To me what defines love is sacrifice, you would do anything for the one you love, true love is hard to find and if you are certain you found it would you die for it? would you trade anything in your life? the one true question is would the person you love do the same for you?

    ReplyDelete
  35. hmm... trust, sacrifice and patience. :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. I really really really want to win this!!! I really NEED to read this book!! I ♥ this series!!

    Great love... is that you can do nothing wrong in the eyes of the person who loves you. The passion and sweetness that exists between couples, warmth, trust, having a good friendship, and all what the girls said before me.

    But I guess for me there should be passion, a feeling you can't feel for anyone else but the person you are with.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Greatest Love, someone you can grow old with♥
    Just like my grandparents, and soon my own parents♥

    ReplyDelete
  41. Greatest Love to me would be unconditional and no issues would be unsurmountable

    ReplyDelete
  42. I think it can be something like... forget the world around you and just live the moment... or the love for God!

    ReplyDelete
  43. I think the Greatest Love is when people can love for their faults and weakness when most people love even though there are faults and weaknesses. It's when people know they can trust their partner and love them no matter what choices they make.

    Thanks so much for the giveaway!

  52. I think the 'greatest love' is the kind my Nan and Granddad has. They may not be all chemistry but they've been together for over 50 years now.

    It may not be the heart pounding things of books but it probably once was.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Great love is something that is rare and hard to find. It is love that will never die and is such a strong bond, nothing can break it. Even if people argue and fight, they will never lose that love.

    ReplyDelete

  56. I think that great love is defined by a couple that has been through everything together!!! Everything that they go through makes them stronger because they go through it together!!! I never realized how much love can grow each and everyday till I met my husband and we have lived our lives together for the last 7 years, and I hope that it continues to go for the next 60 years!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  70. To stick together through all the bad times, not letting anything come between you.

    ReplyDelete
  71. Greatist Love is when you love someone so much you'd do anything for them. Where you stick together. Where no one or nothing can ever come between you. Where you say to them 'You're my greatist love,'. And no matter who you were or what you've done, you mean what you say. Where looks don't matter. Where mistakes can be made, but can also be fixed. Where you never cheat or look at anyone else. And if you do, then if you're eachothers greatist love, you'd stick together and make it ok.
