Two women. One prophecy. Zero places to hide.
Flung from her mundane Seattle existence into a world of magic, scientist Lea struggles to make sense of a destiny she doesn’t want. The moment she finds comfort in the arms of a man who appreciates her inner nerd, a new magic sweeps the realms.
Nieve, Lea’s instructor, may be seasoned in the art of war, but she’s clueless when it comes to romance. To save her world, she allies herself with her enemy, a kindred warrior soul, who leaves no doubt he’s after more than her cooperation.
As each tick of the clock swallows another person’s memory, Lea and Nieve will do anything to hang on to theirs, but betrayal drives a wedge in their friendship. Can they reconcile and rally the troops before the magic wipes out their pasts?

Excerpt:
NIEVE
I dropped my magical
defenses, allowing my luster to envelop me in a powerful light. Without the
sun’s ready supply of energy, that meant using some of my precious resources.
“Holy crap.” Lea jumped
out of her bed and squeezed against the far wall of the room.
Finally, some reaction.
“It’s called luster.” I twirled to prove I wasn’t hiding a flashlight behind my
back. “It’s a by-product of an Elonian’s affinity with light. Anyone sensitive
to magic can see it unless I suppress it.”
In my mind, rows of thick
bricks piled one on top of another around me, extinguishing my luster.
“A-are you an angel?” Her
airless voice barely traveled the distance between us.
I kinked back my head and
laughed. “Definitely not.”
She unglued herself from
the wall and took a few steps toward her bed. “You said I’m an Elonian. Why
don’t I shine?”
“You can’t see your own
luster, but it’s there. Without the training to suppress it, you’re a living
flame to the Shades. It’s the reason they call us Sparks. It’s also how they’ll
identify you. You know, before they kill you.”
Lea picked up a sweater
from the floor. Her focus went distant, no longer in this world. Something I’d
said must have triggered a switch in her brain. Not a day too soon.
I trotted to the corner
by the window and picked a collection of stuffed animals off the armchair. From
the deep V between Lea’s brows, I concluded her thought processes weren't going
anywhere fast. Once the toys occupied the windowsill, neatly arranged by
height, I sat.
With her dark lashes, a
tiny nose and a sprinkling of freckles, she looked so young and so…Kindred.
Unexpected sadness ripped through my chest. The misery pressed onto my
diaphragm, making me feel like I was an evil monster come to chop up her
innocence like next week’s firewood.
Even though she was
predicted to be my ally through the dark days, she was still a total stranger.
Yet her pale, elfin face stirred something in me, some glimmer of recognition,
of familiarity even. My childhood friend Belinda had a similar innocence about
her. She’d chew the end of her pen for hours while pondering her words. Her
poems were meant to bring joy to a war-torn land. They burned with her when
Galleo invaded her village.
Lea would not share
Belinda’s fate. I’d see to that. By the end of her training, she’d be able to
take on a whole battalion of Shades by herself. I squinted at her short stature
and took a sobering breath. If not a battalion, then a group of ten.

Book Description:
When everyone's existence depends
on the lies they tell, trust doesn't come easy
Ivy’s neighbors have a secret.
They aren’t human. But Ivy has a secret, too. She knows. As long as everyone
keeps quiet, she’s happy working as a P.I. by day and chillaxing with her BFF
Florian, a vampire, by night. When a routine pickup drops her in the middle of
a murder, her two worlds collide. While Florian knows how to throw a punch,
deep down he's a softie. His idea of scary? Running out of hair product. It’s
time Ivy faced facts. Even with a vampire on stand-by, one gal can only kick so
many asses.
For help, she must put her faith
in others. A human, who might just be the one. A demon, who will, for a price,
open the doors to her heritage. And a werewolf, who wants to protect her from
herself.
Torn between these men, Ivy must
tread carefully, because one wants her heart, one wants her body, and one wants
her dead.
