Excerpt Three
On the highest tower, Eoin crouched. The storm still raged but the lightning had stopped. A shiny black pickup truck made its way up the mountain toward the castle.
The beta werewolf of the New Port pack parked in front and exited the vehicle. Ken yanked the hood of his jacket over his head before lifting a red toolbox from the backseat.
After launching from the balcony, Eoin allowed the strong wind currents to swing him around the tower before he landed next to the truck.
Mud splattered the werewolf. Ken wiped his face clean. “Nice landing. What do you do for an encore? Toss me over a cliff?” He was Angie’s childhood friend and shared her unique sense of humor.
“It’s just mud. It won’t kill you.” Without asking, Eoin scooped Ken into his clawed hands, toolbox and all, then sprang into the wind-torn air.
The language the shifter used would have added a small fortune to Angie’s swear jar.
He set Ken on the roof before changing shape. “Thanks for coming. I can’t figure out the source of the leak. I want this fixed before Angie returns.”
The werewolf crouched low and eyed the edge. “You do realize I can’t sprout wings, right?”
“I’ll catch you if you fall.” Eoin held up two fingers. “Scout’s honor.”
“If you’re a scout then I’m a priest.” Ken removed his shoes and socks, claws growing from the tips of his toes to gain a better grip on the wet slate. The shifter didn’t even blink at Eoin’s nudity. They didn’t share the humans’ taboo on nakedness. It was part of their nature and carrying a change of clothes was a pain in the ass.
“Whatever you say, Father Birch.” Eoin grinned at the beta’s hard glare.
Ken scanned the rooftop. “Are you sure this is the right area?” He pointedly looked at the many other rooftops that were part of the castle.
“The nest is built on the first floor of this tower across the hall from our bedroom. Where else could the leak be?”
“Water is a tricky thing. It can flow down a wall or follow the path of a beam before you find the damage. I’m just pointing out that I don’t see any obvious problem with this roof. Then again, I’ve never worked with slate. Maybe it’s time to change it?” He reached into his hood and scratched the back of his head.
“What you’re saying is I’m fucked.” Eoin snarled at the rain clouds. He had no power over the weather though.
From the toolbox, Ken pulled out a package. “I brought a tarp we can tack temporarily over the roof. Then we can discuss your options.” He peered up at Eoin. “Preferably inside the castle with some hot coffee.”
Eoin sighed and set his hands on his hips. “Yeah.” Because chatting was his favorite thing to do. Not. Unlike werewolves, dragons were not pack animals. They were part of clans and lived in families, but they were not driven to socialize. Hell, he hadn’t spoken to his family in years. Maybe decades.

Jessop has proven herself to be an unstoppable force from Aranthol to Azgul, inarguably the fiercest warrior the Hunters have ever seen. And her abilities only seem to strengthen as her rage grows.

Armies are divided and reforged, and battle lines are drawn. Blind loyalty drives some while others are sworn to protect the galaxy at all costs.
Bonds will be tested.
Lives will be lost.
Consequences will be devastating.

The Hunters of Infinity have guarded the Daharian galaxy for ages, but when betrayed, they can become a vicious enemy . . .
Jessop, the first woman to join the Hunters, has finally been reunited with those who mean the most to her. In her quest for vengeance, she has left many embittered and betrayed, chief among them Kohl O’Hanlon, the Hunter who once loved her.
Now, as the feared Falco Bane leads his forces into the Hunters’ territory, Kohl attempts to retaliate, flooding their infamous Shadow City with his own followers. Jessop must fight a war on two fronts, testing her commitment to the ones she loves and challenging her abilities as the most elite warrior among the Hunters. With the future of Daharia’s leadership at stake, Jessop is determined to protect those closest to her at all costs . But when allies turn into adversaries, the real threat comes from a place least expected . . .
Hunters of Infinity #1
The Hunters of Infinity have been protecting the Daharian galaxy for years, but there has never been a female Hunter—until now.
In a seedy bar in the shadowy corners of Daharia, Jessop comes to the rescue of young Hunter Kohl O’Hanlon. Impressed by her remarkable sword-wielding skills, the Hunters invite her to their training facility, the Glass Blade, though not all are pleased with the intrusion. But they soon discover that Jessop learned to fight from the rogue leader of the Shadow City of Aranthol—and escaped. Now they want to use her intimate knowledge of their enemy to destroy him.
As Jessop grows closer to this elite brotherhood, their leader succumbs to a mysterious ailment, and Kohl learns that Jessop is hiding dark secrets, raising suspicions about the enigmatic woman who saved his life. Has the Hunters’ security been breached—or do they have a traitor in their ranks?
Allegiances will be questioned.
Loyalties will be betrayed.
Vengeance will be brutal.

whispers, as if saying it aloud might summon the devil himself to
appear. He’s a cruel, sadistic enforcer. Ruthlessly loyal to his boss.
And my new husband. The last time I came to him for help, he laughed at
me – and threw me out on the street. This time, he was the one who came
to me, to make an offer I couldn’t refuse: marry him, or bury my only
brother. Or rather, what’s left of him, after Claudio finishes with him.
What Claudio asks of me every night is sick, and wrong – so why do I
find myself starting to crave it? Why, when I have the chance to escape,
do I find myself hesitating?
Claudio: I swore a blood oath to Diego, but what he’s
asking of me might test that loyalty past its breaking point. He wants
me to dial back on the crazy and show the Family that I’m stable enough

crawling to me. That’s exactly why I need to stay the f#@! away from
her. My desires are dark and twisted. They’ll break her. Ruin her. And
