Mischief night meets magic… I never realized just how trapped I felt under the water until my sister married the wolf pack alpha last year. Suddenly, a life on land was actually possible. I love the ocean and my family, and I’m super protective of them… I just feel like I’m living life for the first time. There's so much more to the world than my father’s palace beneath the coral and I intend to see it all. But I refuse to do this Reese’s way. I don’t need the marriage loophole to control my shifting. I’m a siren and proud of it. So I’ll make my adventures include shifting. How?

I stopped believing in Santa Claus and happily-ever-afters when I lost my parents…so ten years ago I stopped trying. I threw myself into running my dad's hotel, The Diamond, where I make California dreams come true for the rich and famous. But now I realize there’s no one to come home to. I have no family, no friends, just my first ever boyfriend who works more than I do, and in three months barely even knows me.

Megelle Island is full of supernatural creatures. I came here a few years ago to be among my own kind, to not worry that I’d accidentally shift into a raccoon or turn invisible in front of some poor human. My clumsiness was going to expose us all to the public and get me into big trouble with the angels. The only problem is…I’m the only jinn here. I knew there weren’t many of us in existence but none was a whole lot less than expected.

The perfect job is only two weeks away. Two. Short. Weeks. All I have to do is survive the trial period for this new position and the future I’ve always wanted will be my reality. Once it’s mine, I’ll travel the world helping my fellow supernaturals blend into the human world and craft the lives they dreamed of. And in turn…maybe I’ll find myself. Life as a fae failure wasn’t how I pictured my immortality, with wings that don’t work I barely keep up with my own kind. I just never felt like myself around anyone my own age.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth. Well, okay, literally speaking I want these two legs I’m standing on to be permanent. I want my scales to not pop up if it rains or if someone spills their drink on me. I want a house on land and a pet that has fur instead of two rows of razor sharp teeth. I’ve always felt like a crab out of her shell except when I’m on land. Except sirens can’t control their shifting.

If you’ve got it, haunt it…

This is it. The moment I’ve been waiting for. Christmas on Megelle Island is the biggest event of the year, and somehow I've been hired to plan it all: parties, activities, festivals, and the Christmas Eve ball at the palace. So what if I'm a last-minute substitute because the old party planner got run over by a reindeer? So what if the King and Queen ask me to also plan their son’s engagement party within six days? So what if the cottage I rented was accidentally double booked and now I have an ancient, brooding vampire breathing down my neck every day?

My life has never been typical. Most people weren’t professional ballerinas. Most people didn’t have two happily married, four century old dads and an aunt who was actually your mother. Most people didn’t have pointed ears they had to hide or wings that would pop out of their back when they got too excited or angry. Most people didn’t have my problems.

Two men separated by war join together in the last redoubt of the frontier in Texas in 1868, the high escarpment of the Panhandle, one to rear his infant daughter, the other to keep her alive. They are caught up in the Panhandle’s violent transition from uninhabited plains grazed by thousands of buffalo and traversed by Comanche and Kiowa to ranches peopled by iron willed plainsmen and lonely cowboys. The child rides with her father and the gunman across unfenced prairies and into unmapped canyons.
