A dead mage, a missing friend, and an unpredictable alliance merge into a volatile package sending Rory careening through the Arcane elite’s deadly secrets. Rory Costas, Arcane Transporter, is finally out from under the Guild’s thumb and ready to jumpstart her career as an independent contractor. Even better than the potential income, her promising future offers the additional perk of keeping her coveted magic out of the hands of the all-powerful Arcane Families. But when a dead mage drops at her doorstep on the same morning her best friend and roommate, Lena, goes missing, Rory is drawn out of her comfort zone and into an ominous race against time. Retracing Lena’s convoluted path through the Arcane elite’s moneyed secrets, bitter vendettas, and lethal curses, Rory crashes into Zev Aslanov’s investigation of the murdered mage. When the Cordova Family’s enigmatic hunter reveals the dead man was Lena’s last client, Rory must convince Zev her missing friend is a victim, not a suspect. To uncover the truth and save her friend, Rory agrees to work with Zev, even though their uneasy partnership may mean revealing her hidden magic. As the clock ticks down, can they dodge Zev’s suspicions and Rory’s secrets to expose the real evil mastermind or will they crash and burn?

Miranda Zane has never been ashamed of her size. But now, even though she’s graduating at the top of her nursing class, anti-fat attitudes are affecting her job prospects. In a moment of weakness, she decides to investigate weight-loss options. Her best friend Samantha has found a promising one: an all-expenses-paid, year-long study in Alaska … at a commune full of hot lumberjacks. That sounds intriguing, to say the least. But Miranda forgets all about lumberjacks when she sees the doctors in charge of the study. No-nonsense Carver Rockwell, with his tattoos, beard, and brown eyes dark as pools of water on a moonless night … and Andrei Fedorov, whose permanently wicked smile hints at the depths beneath his polished surface. Miranda’s more than willing to go to Alaska if it means more time with the hot doctors–especially since Sam qualifies too, so the besties can go together. But once they arrive, Miranda learns there’s far more to the study than she was told. And for her part, she hasn’t been completely honest with the men, either. Will their mutual deceptions destroy their deepening attraction? Or will this very big girl find happiness with not one, but two gorgeous men who are far more than they appear? ***This bear shifter romance is the first story in the Kodiak Commune serial. It is NOT a full story and contains a Cliffhanger. Stories should be read in order*** Part Two available now: http://amzn.to/1RowRXi Read more
