This book is a fantasy romance, and contains some mature scenes between a man and a woman. Less than usual for those that read my books.Author’s Note: The Moore World novels are stand-alone erotic fantasy romances set in the same world as the Shawn Moore and Andrew Moore Novels, there are five planned. It’s better to read the Moore World Novels in order, even though the books will be stand-alone, there are common characters and places in them that will lead to spoilers of previous volumes.

Rescued (Silver Wood Coven #1)
Templar Michael Charbon has been watching the young witch for months. Homeless, beautiful, and living in Central Park, she seems to charm everyone she meets.

Magus Corps Major Troy Atwater is surprised to hear from Michael. But their long past together puts Michael’s word beyond doubt. Troy collects the beautiful, young witch from the Templar, before her strange attraction drives half of New York wild. A powerful warlock in his own right, Troy manages to veil her seductive appeal, so that he and the coven can help her. But a passionate bond quickly envelopes them that goes far beyond her charms.

More than that she finds herself torn between two very different men. But as the extent of her powers reveal themselves and her deadly past returns in painful snippets, she finds that she isn’t meant to choose between Michael or Troy. She must have them both.

Betrayed (Silver Wood Coven #4)

Revealed (Silver Wood Coven #5)
In a breathtaking vision shared by the three of them, Summer, Michael, and Troy finally learn the truth. But not only is Summer’s birth name revealed, so is her heritage and the real purpose of their passionate union.
