Souljacker
Page 27
“Good. Because we start in bright and early tomorrow morning. Or maybe the day after, if the snow’s still too deep.” He laughed, pulling me into an easy embrace. “I hope you don’t mind, but even though the Souljacker’s taken care of, I want to stick around in your life.” He was staring into my eyes, his voice soft.
My mind whirled. I didn’t dare use the word…I couldn’t even hope to use it yet, but something in my heart jumped for joy as he gathered me to him, kissing me deeply. His lips were soft and for the first time in a long while, I felt safe.
“Get a room,” Nate said, laughing, and Dani threw a pillow at us.
But I didn’t care. I kept kissing Archer, because with all the panic and fear and violence in the world, it seemed like the perfect cure to my melancholy. As I leaned into his arms, a faint movement on my leg startled me. I glanced down, thinking a fly or spider had crawled on me, but to my surprise, the phoenix tattoo had shifted, the tail feathers unfurling a little wider, the colors a little more vivid. Charles was dead, but his work hadn’t been in vain. And it appeared that as we changed, so would the tattoos that mirrored our souls and hearts.
If you enjoyed Souljacker, you will love the Wild Hunt Series—urban fantasy with a strong hint of romance. Start with The Silver Stag, Oak & Thorns, and Iron Bones. Book 18 is available for preorder now: Antlered Crown.
If you love dragons, keep an eye out for my upcoming Hedge Dragon Series, set in a connected world to the Wild Hunt. The Poisoned Forest is now available for preorder.
You might also want to check out my Moonshadow Bay Series. Start with Starlight Web, Midnight Web, and Conjure Web. January Jaxson returns to the quirky town of Moonshadow Bay after her husband dumps her and steals their business, and within days she’s working for Conjure Ink, a paranormal investigations agency, and exploring the potential of her hot new neighbor. You can preorder the next book in the series: Shadow Web. There will be more to come of January’s adventures after that.
If you like paranormal mysteries/paranormal women’s fiction, try my Chintz ‘n China Paranormal Mystery Series. The series is complete. Begin with Ghost of a Chance.
Return with me to Whisper Hollow Series, where spirits walk among the living, and the lake never gives up her dead. Autumn Thorns, Shadow Silence, and The Phantom Queen are now available. Join the darkly seductive world of Kerris Fellwater, spirit shaman for the small lakeside community of Whisper Hollow.
If you prefer a lighter-hearted paranormal romance with some steamy vampire-witch action, meet the wild and magical residents of Bedlam in my Bewitching Bedlam Series. Fun-loving witch Maddy Gallowglass, her smoking-hot vampire lover Aegis, and their crazed cjinn Bubba (part djinn, all cat) rock it out in Bedlam, a magical town on a magical island. Start with book one of the series: Bewitching Bedlam. There are six books and several novellas in the series.
I invite you to visit Fury’s world. Bound to Hecate, Fury is a minor goddess, taking care of the Abominations who come off the World Tree. Start with Fury Rising. The Fury Unbound Series is complete.
For a dark, gritty, steamy series, try my world of The Indigo Court, where the long winter has come, and the Vampiric Fae are on the rise. Begin with Night Myst. This series is complete.
