Dear Reader – Presenting the Arcane Talents series!

Of all my snarky characters, Dave Frost is one of my favorites. First, he’s a different kind of shapeshifter. Guys who turn into animals have been done to death, and I wanted to come up with an new twist on the idea. While I was at it, I created a brand-new system of magic. In Dave’s world, people can work spells by drawing, singing, or dancing, enthralling anyone who sees or hears them. (Which can be really dangerous in the wrong hands.)

So of course, they also compete in reality TV shows….

Can a man who’s no longer human trust a woman who wants him anyway?
Dave Frost died in combat five years ago, but his soul survives, magically bonded to the body of his partner -- a six-hundred-pound tiger. Dave can conjure a human manifestation, but nobody treats him as a man anymore. Especially not women. Until he meets Ariel -- his costar -- while shooting a reality TV competition in the Bahamas. The show’s producers have assigned him to the beautiful witch for an onscreen showmance.

Ariel Piper’s talent is strong enough to turn the competition in their favor. Unfortunately, she also has a condition that makes using her magic agonizing. When they discover Dave’s touch kills the pain, he’s driven to help.

Their showmance soon becomes the real thing, though Dave fears she’ll dump him when the show wraps. Can Ariel convince this heroic, wounded man to trust her love -- before the show comes to a lethal climax that’s not in the script? Here’s an excerpt.

I’m also re-releasing the two previous books in the Arcane Talents series with Changeling Press.

Book 1: Arcane Kiss

Kurt Briggs has a spirit link to a tiger Familiar that gives him superhuman abilities, but when his father is murdered, the military veteran becomes a target for terrorist sorcerers. Alone, Kurt finds he's no match for the witch and her shape-shifting polar bear. He turns to Arcanist Genevieve Reyes for help in fighting the killers' spells.

As Genevieve and Kurt hunt the terrorists, shared danger leads to shared desire. But they soon realize Kurt's passion for Gen weakens his control over his cat. The consequences could be deadly for them both. Genevieve is attracted to Kurt's animal sensuality, but she knows she may be in as much danger from his tiger as she is from the terrorists.

Even if Kurt and Gen manage to stop the terrorists, their evil sorcery may trigger a witch hunt that could mean the destruction of everyone with magical Talent -- including Kurt and Genevieve. Here’s an excerpt.

Publisher's Note: Arcane Kiss was previously published and has been edited for rerelease.

Book 2: Arcane Heart

The wildest passion has claws.

When a pair of cops with magical abilities become the target of a hate group, they must unravel the plot against them before it costs them their lives -- and love.
Deputy Erica Harris is a witch who can see the magical auras of those around her, a talent which helps her determine when someone intends to commit a violent crime. Her partner, Deputy Jake Nolan, has a psychic link with an African lion that allows him to manifest the animal’s powers.

But it’s tough to serve and protect when demagogues stoke public fear of you. As the two cops fight to unravel a politically motivated web of hate and deceit, Erica and Jake are targeted by a magical assassin hired by the plotters.

While dodging murder attempts, they begin to fall in love. But as Jake’s desire makes his inner lion more possessive, his self-control erodes. Can they afford to take a chance on love when so many lives hang in the balance? Here’s an excerpt.
