Branded
A restless witch.
A wild, unruly spell.
What could possibly go wrong?
Nothing ever happens in sleepy little Stillwater, California, which was exactly why Liam settled there. What better spot to avoid discovery? Banished by his dragon-shifter kinsmen for sexual improprieties, his sentence has ten years to go. The only snag is he has to find a mate before he can return to Xara, the dragons’ home world.
Aisha has a problem. She’s stuck tending a herd of Arabians, and she’ll be there forever if she doesn’t produce another witch to take over. To do that, she needs a man. No one permanent. Just someone to grace her bed long enough to get her pregnant.
Intent on fulfilling her obligation to the Colewright witches, Aisha casts a love charm aimed right at Liam. She has no idea what he is—or that his magic overshadows hers by a country mile—and her spell backfires. Badly. She’s picking up the pieces, determined to move past the humiliation, but another spell snaps her up right alongside Liam.
Impossible to ignore, hot, sweet, and urgent, Heart’s Desire snares them both.
About Ann
I'm basically a mountaineer at heart. I remember many hours at my desk where my body may have been stuck inside four walls, but my soul was planning yet one more trip to the backcountry. There's a timeless element to the mountains. They feel like old friends as I visit them, and visit them again. There's nothing like standing on a remote pass where I've been before and seeing that the vista is unchanged. Or on an equally remote peak. Mountains are the bones of the world. They'll prevail long after all of us are dust. It feels honest and humbling to share space with them. I hope I'm blessed with many more years to wander the local landscape. The memories are incomparable. They warm me and help me believe there will be something left for our children and their children after them.
