He carried them from the kitchen into the bar area. It was early Wednesday evening, and the nearly dead bar meant he had time to get the side work done before the rush later on.

“Don’t freak out,” a low voice whispered in her right ear, and she froze, suddenly extremely aware that she wasn’t alone and she definitely wasn’t in her own house. Then she burst out laughing. “That’s like telling someone not to look down when she’s up high.” She turned her head to the right an...
He entered the bathroom and turned on the shower. He stared at himself in the long mirror over the black marble sinks. He’d never really thought of himself taking away the sunshine from someone else, but he wanted to spend eternity with Lia. That meant she’d be tied to the darkness. It had ne...
The screen door on the screened-in back porch banged shut, and John looked up to see Henry walking toward him, carrying his phone. John touched his back pocket and realized he must have left it on his nightstand. “It’s Uncle Rhett,” Henry said as he handed the phone to John. “Hi, Rhett,” John sa...

She wanted to stay tucked between her mates, their arms around her in the quiet solitude of the early morning, but her stomach wasn’t having it. She breathed shallowly through her mouth, but as her stomach rolled again she knew she needed to get to the bathroom or she was going to ruin the idyll...

She straightened and arched her back, stretching with a grimace. She’d been bent over the bowl for forty-five minutes grinding four different seeds into a fine powder for use in a curative spell. She carried the packet out of the room and down the hall, entering an office where Lorene, the owne...
Ash and Axe both held young girls in their arms – Aiyana who was three, and Dena, who was two – and they looked a lot like Elizabeth, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes. As Daeton hugged Elizabeth, she could scent that she was pregnant, and congratulated her sister-in-law. Elizabeth’s hand touc...
