Unfortunately, Governor Owen plans to run for re-election and he expects his grown son to keep his nose clean. That means no shagging his staff, and definitely no falling in love with wildcards - at least not until after the election.Mandy doesn't want to play secret lovers and would rather let the love of her life go than hide as if she's a dirty little secret.

While most of Maria, New Mexico is getting into the holiday spirit, coyote shifter Diana Shapely has more pressing concerns. For one thing, the due date of her twin niece and nephew is rapidly approaching and she needs to find them the absolute perfect welcome-to-the-world gifts. For another, the girlfriend she ghosted a year ago just showed up out of the blue. Lanie Chappell is a tough cookie who knows how to take "no" for an answer, but she also knows there's something off about Diana's rambling rationale for dumping her. Diana claimed she merely wanted to protect human Lanie from the dangerous world of shapeshifters, but Lanie had never asked to be coddled. She didn't spend more than a decade in the Army hiding from challenges. Furthermore, if there's anyone who needs her back watched, it's Diana. The truth is that Diana was terrified that Lanie would realize Diana didn't stack up. After being told all her life that she'd never make anything of herself, Diana...]]> Sun, 18 Nov 2018 15:16:18 +0200 https://ebooks.library.land/holley-trent/470243-a_legacy_divided.html https://ebooks.library.land/holley-trent/470243-a_legacy_divided.html

This novella—number 2.5 in The Afótama Legacy—is set between THE CHIEFTAIN'S DAUGHTER and VIKING FLAME.

Growing up in the isolated community of Norseton, New Mexico, Erin Petersen always felt at odds with her peers. Although power and favor is flowing back to the Afótama clan from the old Viking gods, Erin hasn't been bestowed with any. She's still a weak psychic, and being a perpetual sore thumb has left her aimless.

When the sexy as sin boy-next-door Will Valle returns to Norseton after more than a decade away, not only does he offer her the possibility of a exciting job in spite of her weak gifts, but a chance to explore the world outside of Norseton.

In the midst of the sexual awakening her brooding geek ignites, Erin learns that her "weirdness" might exist for a more sinister reason. She's prepared to confront it with Will's help, but in doing so, the revelations they force to the surface might shake the Afótama to their core. Erin has...]]> Wed, 03 Feb 2016 11:11:39 +0200 https://ebooks.library.land/holley-trent/613878-lucky_in_leather.html https://ebooks.library.land/holley-trent/613878-lucky_in_leather.html

Few fairies can rival Matthew Gilisson's magic despite him being only a quarter fae. Strong, smart, and fearless, he's the perfect agent for his cousin Heath to deploy against his mother. As Queen Rhiannon's realm continues to collapse, her plans pivot to survival at all costs, but Matt has too much at stake to let her find a foothold in the human world. She's already spent a thousand years torturing her subjects.

Like his partner Perry.

A fairy like Perry Geer would normally be an unlikely recruit in the leather-and-chaos world of Prince Heath. He's a thinker, not a warrior, so it made perfect sense that Prince Heath paired newcomer Matt with him. Conveniently, the two can combine their magic in useful, and unusual, ways and cooperatively neutralize the queen's efforts to sabotage her defector son's powerful crew.

But Perry wonders just how useful he really is when it becomes evident that Matt's meant to be much more than his mission partner.

She'll never be normal, but as Lola Perez, she enjoys the peace of blending in.

She hopes she can be bold for once in her life and show Lisa that she can have more. But Lisa and Joey's relationship is a more loving and complicated thing than Finch initially thought.
