Life in a shifter bordello is all Keira has ever known. None of the magicians\u2019 guilds wanted her because of her mixed blood, and they didn\u2019t protest when the shifters bound her as an indentured hooker. Mired in hopelessness, she longs for more.<\/p>\n

Barrett\u2019s a full-blood magic wielder who operates a magician supply shop in what\u2019s left of Seattle. No one is more surprised than him when the Sidhe leader commands him to extricate Keira from the shifters. She loves to while away time in his shop, but she always skitters away whenever he even thinks about approaching her. Too bad because she\u2019s twenty shades of gorgeous.<\/p>\n

Magic and intrigue throw Keira and Barrett together. but she has other priorities\u2014like learning to control brand new magic she had no idea she possessed. Besides, once he spirits her away from the shifters, his job is done. Far better to keep his distance and allow her to seize the destiny she was born for.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0There’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\u00a0equally\u00a0remote 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.<\/span><\/p>\n
