Promises I make to myself…

1. I won’t stare at my sister’s fiance’s super hot best friend, even when he takes his shirt off at a dinner party.
2. I won’t look him up online and check out photos from his professional soccer career.
3. And I definitely won’t fantasize about him late at night.

Oops. Broke all three. But in my defense, his abs and that arrogant smile are my catnip. Plus it’s been a while.

But no matter how sexy Asher St James is, I will never let on that he’s at the top of a long list of things I want to do.

And I keep that last promise.

Well, mostly…

The world has become one of terrible beauty and endless possibilities. For a human widower and an elf who has given up on finding a mate, that magic is about to bring them together.

Mother Earth has awoken and decimated the humans who have been killing her for millennia. Those who survive are under the care of the elves, but someone—or something—is hunting them. So when a mysterious elf appears in the nick of time to rescue John, it all seems a little too convenient to be believed.

Refusing to let the humans’ distrust stop him, Elan stays to help John through his recovery, taking care of his children and growing close to the little family by the day. When elf and man enter into an impossible soulbond and John barely survives, Elan takes his new mate and his children back to the Summerlands. He wants to help the remaining humans from the evil that stalks them but needs his family safe first.

But when danger strikes, it comes from a place they least expect. Jealousy, anger, and unexpected allies abound, and it’s a race against time for Elan to save the humans he’s come to love. With the children in peril, if he fails, Elan will lose everything that makes his long life worth living.

Summer Rain Davis embodies the bohemian lifestyle. He loves his arts and crafts. He’s always had a thing for the buttoned-up professional types and when he’s set up with Arthur, sparks fly.

Levi Townson.

The one whose addictive, luscious mouth I can’t cleanse from my memory.

My hunger for another taste of him should assure me of my need for a savior, not shepherd me down the rabbit hole toward depravity.

This is a mistake. I can’t trust him.

I can’t be falling in love.

While sketching the tunnels below the city to illustrate his book, he meets Marin, who is there for reasons of his own. Tyler is instantly drawn to the handsome, amber-eyed man.

Marin is appalled when his panther reveals that Tyler is his fated mate. Things get worse, in his opinion, when he needs Tyler’s help to stop a vicious gang of humans bent on destroying all supernaturals.

Will they be able to stop the gang, and if so, will Marin’s vampire half allow his growing interest in Tyler to become more? If he does, he will have to reveal what he is, which could destroy any hope that they might have a future together.
