After an impulsive act leads her to Morningstar Sanitarium, she’s inexplicably drawn to the sad and mysterious Vanek, but the connection is broken when they escape.

Formerly one of Hell’s most renowned Painkillers, Vanek is horrified with being human until he discovers he’s been thrown into the body of a badass mercenary with a definite kinky streak. Wondering how he got so lucky, he jumps into his new role at Trinity’s Op Center--Expat Security. When Dylan’s soul broker recognizes him as one of the Trinity demons, he knows they’ve got to take her case. As his attraction to her grows, so does the conspiracy that landed him in Brooklyn. Is Vanek’s past the key to saving his future--and hers?

    Nalena desperately wants something to change in her life, but when she receives a sign (and it's the wrong dang one) inviting her into a mysterious, ancient community, too much changes. What she knew of her family, what she thought of her life and what she believed about her future, is no longer applicable.

But it is only Nalena that can choose between protecting the life that is already crumbling beneath her feet and the one that might sacrifice everything she could ever have.

     Join Sage and Reighn as they struggle to live in a world where magic has returned, where Sages little baby girl goes missing and the Dragon Lord finds her then all hell breaks loose. The Dragon Lord watched as the little one went from cat to human to cat. “Come kitten, come to Reighn.” She shifted back to human and stuck her fist into her mouth, tears ran down her reddened cheeks, his deep soft voice stilled her movements. “Come here little hatchling, I won’t hurt you, all will be well, come on kitten, come to Reighn.” “WHERE... IS... MY... DAUGHTER?” Sage demanded before the great doors made from the hardest iron wood that had withheld marauding armies with battering rams, blew apart like kindling. Reighn, the Dragon Lord has at last found his soul shadow, an improbability a half witch half wolf, Reighn grinned. “Good I am dragon, my heart, we live for improbabilities. “I have lived a thousand years and thought to never have a shadow or hatchling, so I and my dragon are beyond pleased, we are forever in your debt and honored to be yours.” Sage, saw the hole, saw the never ending abyss and still she jumped feet first into love as a shifter, instinct drove her mating or at least the willingness to chance a mating, her witch side recognized power and felt the draw of spirits as they met, melded and entwined forever to be bonded together throughout eternity. Reighn states his ultimatum to the stubbon Dragon Kind. * I am your Lord. * The Lord of all Dragons! * That has not changed. * I have already said this once this week but it bears repeating. * THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRACY! * You have no voice here. * You have no rights here. * The only voice that matters is mine! * The only rights you have are the ones I allow you. * As of now I have removed all your privileges. * You will comply or you will be banished. * There is no other option. “You have twenty four hours to decide. If in that time you have not sworn fealty to me and the dragon nation I will decide for you. Make no mistake, this is going to happen. With or without you. Now I suggest you go home and make your decisions. Dismissed” A shifter dressed in jeans and a long sleeved shirt open to the waist showing a well muscled chest and six pack with dark unwashed hair squatted on the deck of a mansion or what had been one once. He looked at John from eyes gone dark, his beast riding just under the surface of his skin, his voice, when he spoke, was low and guttural. “What do you want here dragon?” “I come to find the uncle to our Dragon Lord’s mate, Sage, witch, shifter, half breed.” “I am he, what do you want of me?” “I want you to call your bitch of a niece here, so I may end this once and for all.’ Robard laughed deeply and just a shade of insanity seeped through. “You think to use me for your own purposes against my own kin?” he laughed harder and rose to his great height as four shifters entered the yard. “Behold what is left of my pack, ask the Alpha whore and her bitches if they will help you, I will not!"
