The Magical Creatures Academy has sent its finest fairies to recruit her. As a hybrid shape-shifter - half siren, half angel - Selene of the Kunu Clan is one of a kind. It’s a label that makes her the target of a rebel faction of supernatural creatures that seeks to claim her power. But her power is undeveloped and more a danger to herself than an aid. Yet her magic is her only advantage over the vicious vampires and fierce shifters who seek to eliminate her.

The people and creatures of Traitor’s Den are always getting into trouble. It’s the one thing I can count on. The longer they spend in the Den, the more the spell that keeps us all here has the chance to take effect, turning us all into my Uncle Tucker’s version of cowboys and cowgirls. Our little one-way town is always wild and outrageous, and no day is ever the same. But when Rhett Stead and Zeke Doyle tumble through the portal, our town’s signature wild Western flavor swells a couple of notches, especially since they seem to think I’m their mate or queen or...whatever.

The Magical Creatures Academy is the most secure location for Selene to defend herself from those who seek to claim her power. As usual with Selene, nothing is as expected. When the fearsome witch, Naomi Nettles, breaks through the academy’s fortifications, she delivers Selene to someone far worse, someone Selene had hoped never to cross paths with again. But on her quest to find Quinn, Selene will endure whatever she must. She’s the only sirangel in existence. She’s about to make the most of that fact to reunite with the man she loves.

I need more magic like I need a point-blank bullet to the head. All that dragon power Rhett’s already given me is churning around inside me, causing as much trouble as the great poohbah dragon protector himself, and he’s trouble walking in a pair of perfectly fitting jeans. Regardless of my desires, and I’ve got lots of them thanks to the two men who won’t stop shooting suggestive looks my way, more magic is exactly what I’ve got—plus a whole band of dragon shifters without it, heh, pointing fingers at me for taking what they think is theirs. Oopsie.

El duelo

Jace Rollini was my first kiss, my first boyfriend, my first everything. Gorgeous and tough, he was my high school’s bad boy. A motorcycle lover with a craving for danger, I thought I’d hold on to him as long as he let me. Fast forward 12 years.... I ended up with a man who was the wrong sort of trouble. The kind who hurt me. The kind who left me in the hospital with a traumatic brain injury that erased the last 12 years of my life. Now I’m back in the small town I ran away from. And Jace is here. And he’s sexier than ever.

In nineteenth century Norland, magic is forbidden, punishable by death. But it's coming for Clara. Clara was born to the nobility at a time when rank and power are often more valuable than the bonds of family. Her parents have plans for her, none that she wants, all involving her arranged marriage. From her birth, her entire life has been planned out-only what a future wife in society needs to know. Every step of her path is meant to end with her walking down an aisle and then popping out heirs.

Traitor’s Den was meant to be a prison. A punishment. A hellhole my daddy could never escape. Over the decades, however, hundreds of us have found a way to make it our home. We’ve learned to deal with the many bumps along the way with colorful cussing and a dash of humor—often roused by one too many at the saloon—and we’ve embraced the spell that turns us all into honky-tonk cowgirls and -boys.

Huzzah! I made it to my 23rd birthday! Given how much dragon magic I have rolling through me now, doing its best to cook me from the inside out, this feat is no small thing. I’ve earned a hearty celebration and then some. I’m gonna party down at Sharmayne’s and let her ply me with as many of her cocktails as she wants. Her magic touch is exactly what I need after how nutty life in Traitor’s Den has been lately. I deserve every hypnotic, milky, swirling Moon Mixer she sends my way. Hell, I might get fancy and skip right on to a Roll in the Hay, maybe even a Sirens on the Rocks.

Now he was in a serious relationship that seemed to be going somewhere for the first time.
