Desperate Magic Read online

  “If you will have me.”

  “Of course we will have you. You saved the life of my queen.”

  Willow squeezed his arm. “You did all of us a service.”

  The four of them started back the way they’d come, and Willow felt Cullendor’s arm settle around her as they walked. She leaned her head against his shoulder, marveling that she and this man who was more than a man had found each other. They both had a lot to learn, but she knew that learning it together would be her joy.

  Shattered Magic, available now!

  Dark Magic

  Marrying her father’s barbaric enemy for political gain is not the future that Princess Devon imagines for

  herself. She prefers escaping into the world of magic and legend described in books—books that suggest just how a princess could take the safety of a kingdom into her own hands.

  When Devon awakens one night to find the mysterious Galladar in her chamber, the lines between myth and

  reality begin to blur. Before he disappears into the night, the two share an intimate encounter that leaves her determined to follow her heart. However, when she finds Galladar again, will she be forced to choose

  between her kingdom and her happiness?

  Shattered Magic

  Desperate to escape an arranged marriage to an evil magician, Rowan flees her village—and runs right into the path of a handsome stranger. When Grant comes to her aid, she takes comfort in his arms...and sees

  a solution to her problem. Her betrothal will be called off if she loses her virginity—and her virile protector

  is the perfect man to do the honor.

  Grant has a secret of his own—he is Prince Grantland, reluctant heir to the throne of Arandal. He’s thrilled to find a woman who’s interested in him, not his crown. But he and Rowan cannot hide themselves—and the truth—forever. Will their love survive once Grant

  discovers she’s everything he’s been raised to

  hate and fear?
