A pragmatic human thrown into a world of magic...
Lindsey Porter fled from her traumatic past, determined
to lay low, but now someone has framed her for
murder. The quest for answers leads her into a parallel
realm where magic reigns, and with a hostile sheriff
and a shapeshifting assassin on her trail, she must
place her life in the hands of a seductive, supernatural
man who tempts her like no one else.
An immortal sylph enslaved by magic...
Nevan is trapped by a desperate bargain struck a
century earlier, yet the beautiful, spirited Lindsey has
enticed him to abandon his magically enforced duty.
As forbidden passion flares between them, they'll risk
everything to uncover the truth and find what they both
need the most—redemption.
When two worlds collide...
The fates of the elemental and mortal realms depend
on the star-crossed lovers. As dark secrets from their
pasts threaten to shatter the fragile trust between
Lindsey and Nevan, a shocking revelation holds the
power to deliver salvation or destruction.
That was one hell of a book. I love paranormal
romance books, but man that was awesome with the
an immortal sylph guardian and the Fae and the
copper eating leprechaun. It was extremely
well-written. And even though walked a fine line on
old and new beliefs it was wonderful.
This story is about Lindsey and Nevan( the Guardian)
he was tricked into a bargain by the Sylph king to
forever bound to look for the Januset. The ledgens tell
of how Janus was destroyed and sent to the four
winds. Never to be found again. But there is one thing
the king never counted on. And that Nevan would
leave his duty for a mere mortal. And even though he
has no clue why, He just knows he has to be near
Lindsey. And protect her. But the king is mad, really not
just angry mad but nuts. He literally tried to drop her
house on her. But he is not her only problem the sheriff
is after her too. And she does not know why. And her
ex is still haunting her even though she’s sure he is
dead. Man with all this going on it was so fun to read.
I was glued to the pages of the book and read all night
I could not put it down. I just had to know what
happens next. I am so ready to read more and hope
there will be a book two. As there is so much more
I would love to read about maybe what Tris is up to.
Now before I ruin this for you I will leave off here.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. If you do
like this book, please consider leaving a review. The
Authors really like it when you do; they value your
opinions too
The man watched me, his brows furrowed.
Not a man. A murder suspect. I scuffled away
from him, drawing out a distance of several yards. My gaze flicked to the gun,
but I couldn’t retrieve it without approaching him. “Why did you run away?”
“So you would follow.”
His Irish brogue tickled my senses like a
feather grazing my skin. I gave myself a mental shake, but the sensation
lingered. “Excuse me?”
My suspect sighed, as if I were the dumbest
human on the planet. Maybe I was. Right at this moment, I wouldn’t have bet
money on my intelligence. Still, I had my pride.
I crossed my arms over my chest. “Why did you
run?”
The man hooked a thumb over his shoulder,
toward the trail. “To draw you away from the body. It seemed to upset you.”
When I leaned to the left, I glimpsed the
trail but not the dead man. The stranger blocked my view, which made me wonder
if he’d positioned himself there on purpose. Him. The strange man who’d leaped
into the falls only to pop up behind me a split second later. Impossible.
He glided one step closer, into a shaft of
sunshine that painted his face in hues of gold. The shadow from his elegant
nose kissed the corner of his mouth. The sun’s rays ignited his amber eyes,
gracing them with a vividness beyond the normal. I roved my gaze up and down
his golden body, soaking in the alien beauty of him. He wasn’t actually naked.
A tan loincloth clung to his flesh, but since the scrap of fabric covered his
buttocks and groin and not much else, the impression of nudity wasn’t entirely
unfounded. The loincloth’s color blended into his complexion. The way it hugged
his body accentuated his male physique, the way it clung to his lean hips and
the upper swathe of his powerful, tanned thighs.
My gaze fell across a long scar on his
chiseled torso, right over his heart. I wrestled against the bizarre urge to
lunge toward him and run my hands over that glorious chest. Heat swept through
me, the suddenness of it shortening my breaths.
Get a grip. I was suffering from shock.
Nothing else explained this. I should not be ogling a murder suspect twenty feet
away from the victim’s corpse. I wasn’t like this, not ever, especially not
since—I severed the memory before it swallowed me whole. Nothing supernatural
was going on here. I had a half-naked murder suspect to question. Once I knew
the answers, I’d subdue this guy—somehow—and call the cops. Only then might the
sheriff believe me.
Okay. Time to grill the suspect.
Straightening, I lifted my chin. “Did you
kill that man?”
