Even though she believes the Senate is making a mistake by sending her, she gives it her all and soon finds herself in danger of breaking the golden rule of being a Muse by falling in love with her Charge.

As the demons swarm closer, they find safety in each other’s arms. Until Blake discovers the only key to his freedom…and must face a soul-rending choice.

Escaping a hellish Syrian prison, U.S. serviceman Ray Stavrakis emerges with uncanny powers and an eerie ability to morph into a mythical Minotaur, half-man, half-bull. Only one woman can prove his innocence and soothe the savage beast inside–the same woman who’d driven him to the brink of insanity with her cool-eyed interrogation and her hot-blooded sensuality.

But Vegas psychologist Layla Bahset has no memory of Ray or her past. Only a feeling of being stalked by a nonhuman predator. Is it Ray…whose eyes condemn her soul even as his hands ignite her body? Or is another evil force hunting her down like prey?

Now nothing can stop Layla from remembering what she really is…and what her evil creator has planned for her and her soldier lover…

A match seemingly made in heaven…until morning rolls around and Shaun can’t bring himself to say good-bye. Can he win her over with his secret weapon, a Sweet Irish Kiss, or is Rachel still too scared to love?

Forced to work together, both learn about relationships, expectations, and acceptance—among family members as well as strangers who become like family.

Laeca, Lady of Thermanae, missed out on the incredible good looks that bless the rest of her family—not to mention the talent for healing and sex-magic.
What she has is determination, pride, honor, and an unwavering dedication to the land and people of Thermanae. All its people, both human and satyr. She can’t remember the last time she let herself have fun, and sex is something that happens on the erotically charged Soranian holy days—if she actually has time to attend the festivals.
When a sick satyr collapses at her feet on Midwinter’s Day, Laeca realizes she’ll be passing on the yet another festival in order to nurse him, figuring that common sense and herb tea will go a long way to make up for lack of healing magic. But when she realizes Kallios is at death’s door because he wants to follow his murdered beloved, killed by the same demon her brother destroyed to save Thermanae (Threshing the Grain) she makes a vow on her family honor to save him. By any means necessary. Including by restoring his will to live by reminding him how much fun sex is.
In the Soranian Empire, though, vows made on holy days have unexpected consequences. Or maybe Kallios’ dead lover’s ghost understand what the living need better than they do. Before the Longest Night is done, Laeca will find her magic and risk her life. Kallios will learn his dead lover isn’t necessarily gone. And all of them, including the dead man, will be changed by the powers of love, magic and the Longest Night.

As he took some deep shuddering breaths, his tears fell to the ground. His eyes were still blurry from crying as he turned away from the dryness of one of the small plant Ayla had been working with. The plant was a small spindly bit of green, wilted and off-colored. If he had continued looking, he would have seen that as his tears splashed on the ground next to the tiny fledgling, a brightness spread, a small ripple of light and with that ripple, a tiny healthy shoot of green shot up from the fragile diseased beginning, stretching to reach the sun. However, it quickly shriveled back into the root of the plant as the sun dried the tear on the ground and the bitterness of the soil came back and sucked the life from it.
Even if he had seen this he would not have known what was happening, but hidden somewhere inside himself, there was a secret, known only to the Mother.
As he turned back again to contemplate and stifle his tears, he saw the same small plant, discolored and forlorn, dying even as it sank its small root into the savage and bleached land, drawing the chemical laden nutrient through its leaves. As Dayol watched, it turned black and shriveled up. Little did he know, but that small spurt of growth had taken its last nourishment, and when it was gone, so was the plant. He felt a little like that plant, he felt as though he too might shrivel up without Ayla.
