“I watched as he comprehended what it was that he saw on my face, in my eyes. And I watched as a part of him shut down, locked away from me forever.

The smart thing to do would have been to send Samson to Jett, so the Master of the City had a heads-up on what we'd found out before we tipped our hand to the Iunctio. The smarter thing to do would have been to have avoided the Plaza Hotel altogether, and get Samson to ask Lucinda the questions I needed answers to. The smartest thing to do of all would have been to have gone home, climbed into bed and shown my mate just how much I loved him. Let's just say, I'm not always smart. With the Master of the City still seeking a kindred-joining, you'd think Georgia Deverell, half-vampire/half-...

'His whole body jerked against mine, his arms tightened and a low growl mixed with a decidedly sexy moan came from the back of his throat. I could tell he was having an instant response to my biting him, I could feel exactly where his mind had taken the moment to. I gasped at his reaction, thinking this was having way more of an effect on him than me. And then the taste of his blood hit my tongue.' Working as a bartender at the most popular club in town, dating a handsome, sexy and ever so slightly mysterious Englishman, Georgia thought her life was finally going somewhere. Then one night a...

“Six weeks of utter hell had led to this. Six weeks of chasing breadcrumbs across Ljósálfar and finding nothing. Six weeks of popping in and out of Fey portals, covered in the scent of new season peaches, hungry, exhausted, desperate.

War is brewing in Álfheimr, and it’s spilling over onto Earth. As if that isn’t bad enough, the Queen of the Light Fey thinks Georgia killed her only son. And revenge...

Mine just happens to include busting out a group of black-ops agents from a maximum-security prison and beating the enemy at a high-stakes game of cat and mouse. I've ...
