Highlander's Magic (Highlander Heat #2)

“I noticed.” He rubbed his chin over the top of my head. “Though it’s still far too hot today. I think I should stick around and make sure none of those fires decide to flare up again.”


“Good idea.” He wouldn’t hear a complaint from me. Whatever time we could steal to be together, was the best. “Did you wanna see CCC. The newborn colt’s become quite attached to you.”

After Cole had saved me, he’d returned to the stables and rescued the laboring mare. She’d birthed her foal and I’d named the young one Cool Calm Collected after the man who’d saved her.

“I’d rather become more attached to you.”

I turned and kissed him, my heart filled with love. How could I have ever wanted to give him up?

“What are you thinking?” His hunter eyes gleamed.

“That you deserve a reward for capturing this warrior.”

“What kind of reward?”

“Trust me. You’re going to love it.” I wriggled out of his hold and stepped back.

“Where are you going, my love?”

I kept moving, one step at a time.

He stalked me.

“Chase me and find out.”

Laughing, I ’ported.

He’d catch me. I had no doubt he would.

And his prize?

A lifetime of hunting me.

Protector


Magio-Earth, #1



To love and protect…across worlds.



Eighteen-year-old Faith Stryker is prepared to leap out into the unknown world beyond her home shores of New Zealand to experience life. Only she never expected to encounter Magio, a planet with two warring countries, where its people reach adulthood at eighteen by coming into their strength and prophetic abilities. Only after Faith discovers she’s a Halfling—thanks to her warrior father she’s never met—does her own skill of forethought develop.

Peacio’s Prince Davio Loveria is sent to the young Faith Stryker by his grandfather, but not all goes as planned. Davio discovers Faith isn’t just a Halfling, she’s also his soul-bound mate—an intense relationship he cannot, nor will not, give up.

With two wars now waging…one of land and the other of the heart…can the young lovers find their place in the world?

She doesn’t expect him to be her soul-bound mate, a man she must now work with to piece together her unknown mother’s lost heritage.

Peacio’s Silas Carver follows the calling of his soul to Australia, only not all goes as planned. Discovering Hope is his mate has him demanding his release from their bond. She agrees, but only if he first helps her learn about her mother.

Magio-Earth, #3



Unbelievable. My best friend had some nerve. Sprinting down the edge of the football field, I had to get away from my urge to crush Faith like the dry grass beneath my sneakers. I dodged the running back with eyes only for the rugby ball and hoped he’d slow Faith enough for me to get away.

“Silvie Carver, slow down,” Faith yelled.

“You have forethought. You should have seen this coming.”

“I didn’t know you’d get this angry.”

“I didn’t know you’d dump this kind of news on me.”

Chasing me, she ducked and dodged around the team. “Your temper should come with a warning.”

“I’m a redhead. Get used to it.” Hah! Faith’s forethought was what needed a warning.

“Okay, so I shouldn’t have just blurted out my problem.”

“Ya think?” I made a beeline for the far gate.

“Let me try this again. It’s not like my forewarning has happened yet.”

“But it’s going to.” She was gaining on me, had hardly lost a breath, while I panted madly.

“Damn right it is. My skill is so freakin’ annoying. Flaring up all over the place, and at the worst times.”

“Your king is a tyrant. I have my own king and country to worry about. I want nothing to do with yours or Dralion. Nothing.”

“Best friends forever, Silvie. He’s my grandfather and I need your help to figure this all out.”

Now I had the stitch. It shot down one side. Skidding to a stop, I clutched my ribs. “Ugh, I really need to get more exercise.”
