“Wh-what changed your mind?”
“Time and good sense kicking in,” he said. “When I saw Henry’s hand around your throat, I just knew deep in my gut that you were in trouble.” A haunted bleakness settled into his gaze. “I thought I might be losing you forever and I couldn’t stand the idea.”
She brushed his lips with light fingers. “I felt my entire world crash each time Henry shot you.”
Jack grinned. “And watching you run around naked was pretty convincing too.”
“Shut up while you’re ahead.” Grabbing a handful of his hospital gown, Lynn pulled him close. Their lips melded in a kiss as hot as dragon fire and twice as sweet.

THE DJINN’S DILEMMA
Rukh O’Shay, half-djinn and assassin, is used to taking out the bad guys. But his latest assignment, Sarah White, is nothing like he expected. A glimpse of her bright aura reveals her gentle spirit, while her luscious beauty clouds his mind and makes him long for only one thing— to taste her.
Sarah shares the feeling of raw desire at Rukh’s touch. He can turn her on with a glance, and satisfies desires she didn’t even know she had. But Rukh had been hired to kill her— and the only way to save her is to find out who wants her dead before someone else finishes the job…
"I'll take this hot assassin named Rukh trying to kill me any day ;) Oh yeah, he was that hot."—Bitten by Paranormal Romance review, 2011
A TALE OF TWO DJINNS
Akshay (Shay for short), warrior prince of the earth djinns, earns the title of Crown Prince at a high cost when he loses his best friend in a battle against ancient enemies, the water djinns. Heartsick, he escapes to Earth to mourn.
Nothing gets the biological clock ticking (and elders lecturing) like almost dying in battle, so Maya, princess of the water djinns, travels to Earth for some no-strings-attached sex to fulfill her duty and produce an heir. But the beautiful and tough warrior gets more than she bargained for when she meets Shay.
Their not-so-simple one-night stand is interrupted by assassins and the world, as they know it, is changed forever. As Maya and Shay pull together to survive, both are determined to have their happily-ever-after and bring peace to their worlds— warring families, shadow assassins, and nosy busybodies be damned.

DEAD: A Ghost Story
A multicultural ghost story in which Nasreen— the Indian-American protagonist— grapples with her life and death in West Texas. This is not a romance.
A note from Mina
Thank you for reading WILDFIRE: A Paranormal Mystery with Cowboys & Dragons. I hope you enjoyed it.
WILDFIRE is my love letter to my adopted home in West Texas, and I had a lot of fun mentioning local haunts, history, and sharing all the details that make the place special. This book wouldn’t have been possible without the help of many, wonderful people:
My darling husband, who is my inspiration for Jack, and does all he can to help support me and my writing in so many different ways. My kids, who are awesome cheerleaders. D. Michalewicz, Steve Mild, Ken Land, Brian Dunn and Russell Smith for information about volunteer fire departments, law enforcement and so much else. The talented and funny newspaper editors I was lucky to work with and learn from: Bill Miller, Scott Stanford (Tower), William Taylor, and Tim Archuleta. Hernandez is for all of you!
My most wonderful critique partner, L.J. Charles; and amazing beta readers who helped make this book better: Laurie G., Hasna S., Teresa R., and Michelle C. The San Angelo Writers for feedback. For editorial help, Maya Rock and Jennifer Boggs. For artwork, Ana of Kingwood Creations and my sister Fahmi Khan.
Also all the members of my awesome street team, who kept me sane, let me vent, and gave me all kinds of help. A special hug to Michele H. who came up with Jack’s last name. All my writing friends who kept me going.
A heartfelt and huge “Thank you” to all of you!
