To the residents, however, there is far more lurking below the surface than just the occasional swamp critter. Led by Barrett Rockwell, the dragon shifters of Rockwell Agency make their home in the historic city and they’re keen to protect the place and people they love from dark unseen forces that sometimes like to step out of line. PART I When English botanist Angela Winston moves to Louisiana to complete her studies, she expects jet lag. She doesn’t expect to start literally losing time—a whole lot of it, in big chunks. Recently she’s been ‘waking up’ from apparently blacking out, only to be told by worried friends about all the embarrassing or dangerous things she did. Desperate, Angela contacts Rockwell Agency, known in Baton Rouge as being a premiere investigative group. All she wants is for someone to follow her around for a weekend, observe her actions, and stop her if she somehow becomes destructive. She doesn’t expect her shadow to be quite so incredibly handsome, but so long as Ryan Minton is competent, she’ll ignore the flare of attraction and just pray he can help her out of her mysterious predicament. PART II Wes Moretti is hearing things. With increasing frequency, he is somehow suddenly privy to the thoughts of those around him—friends, coworkers, women lusting after him … it’s worrisome, to say the least, wondering if he’s somehow losing his mind. Then he overhears his best friend’s thoughts and learns a secret that destroys that friendship and also confirms Wes’ newfound ability isn’t in his imagination. He can actually hear what other people are thinking. Needing to regain control of his life—and his mind—he heads for Rockwell Agency, known in Baton Rouge as a top detective group. He expects the detectives to help him. He doesn’t expect to walk into the agency and be bowled over, but then again, Jordan Grey has a tendency to do that to people, Wes quickly learns. PART III Lydia Winn has a secret. Usually an honest person, her pursuit of a particular goal has caused her to bend a few of her usual rules. Intent on finally getting answers to questions she’s had her whole life, she visits Rockwell Agency, where Quentin Pencer is assigned to her case. She knows Quentin has a secret too … that’s why Lydia visits Rockwell Agency in the first place. Immediately, though, things start to go wrong as Lydia is deeply attracted to Quentin and feels terrible when her lies blow up in her face, alienating him. Even worse than the fact that she’s betrayed him is the fact that suddenly Lydia has a real problem on her hands. When someone she deeply loves goes missing, will she be able to persuade Quentin and his coworkers to trust her enough to help her with a real problem? PART IV Liam O’Malley is a ladies’ man—no two ways about it. Devastatingly handsome, and a high-powered lawyer to boot, he’s more than slightly popular with the female crowd but has no interest in a long-term romantic relationship. As kind as he is good-looking, Liam makes sure he’s on the same page with any woman he spends time with, including Trinity Calhoun. He and Trinity had a good time for a while, or so he thought, and they both agreed things between them would never progress beyond a physical relationship. So when Trinity’s grandmother shows up and not only accuses Liam of stealing from Trinity but then puts a curse on him, Liam is blindsided. Initially, he tries to ignore the old woman’s warnings, but when everything starts going wrong in his life, he’s forced to start to consider the fact that something supernatural may be happening and seeks out the h

     Warriors, from the mists of time? Dragons, of myth and legend? Or both? Taking a much-needed holiday in North Wales, journalist Chloe Evans discovers a castle not listed on any of the dozen or so maps she has of the area. The nearest thing she can find is the remains of a castle that used to be there but crumbled into ruin many centuries before. Her curiosity getting the better of her, Chloe decides to find out more about this imposing grey stone castle and anyone who might live there. The locals, she discovers, call it Pendragon Castle. When Chloe asks them more probing questions some say there are half a dozen male members of the original family still in residence, and that they’re brothers. Others claim there to be more, or less, than that number. But all, without fail, describe those men as being big and muscular, more handsome than any man has a right to be, with eyes capable of mesmerizing and seducing any woman who falls under their spell. Some of those people add a knowing wink, others a warning not to venture too near the castle, and to certainly keep her distance from the men living there. Visitors staying at the same small hotel as Chloe talk of seeing bright lights and helicopters landing on the mountain late at night, and of hearing strange noises that sound like the roars of wild animals. There was a story here, Chloe was certain of it. Whatever the mystery is regarding Pendragon Castle and the men who live there, Chloe decides she isn’t leaving Wales until she’s discovered exactly what’s going on. While exploring the area around the castle, Chloe is challenged by the dark and taciturn Nathaniel. A man who fits the description of the castle’s inhabitants exactly: well over six feet tall, handsome as sin, with shoulders wide enough to fill a doorway, and eyes the colour of the clearest emerald. The moment she gazes into those mesmerizing green eyes Chloe realises she should have run while she still could.
