I’ve lost a piece of my soul, and the fate of the world depends on me finding it in the arms of a woman I don’t even know.\nThey say you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone, but in my case, that’s not true. I have no idea what I had, only that I’ve lost it—and with it, my memories.\nA woman named Deva Rainsong seems to know me, along with her mates. Which makes sense, given I’m the drummer of the rock band Fate’s Fools. But they also think I’m supposed to be with her—with them. Thing is, I’m not so sure.\nOkay, maybe my heart isn’t sure, but other parts of me are raring to go. As much as I’d like to listen to them, as well as the haunting song Deva sings that I know should mean something to me, I can’t go all-in without giving them all of me. And that’s just not possible right now.\nI’m a turul, and that means I’m searching for my One, a true love I can spend eternity with.Which means I can’t be with Deva until I’m certain she’s it for me, and I can’t be certain until I get my memories back.\nAnd I can’t get my memories back until I face Fate once and for all.

Rising Dragons Omnibus (Courting Dragons Duet)

Gaia save the Queen…Emma Stonetree’s father is missing. Worse yet, her uncle’s gone too, leaving her and her two cousins, Jasper and Jade, floundering for an explanation. All Emma can think of are their fathers’ stories—tall tales of magic, mystery, and a whole host of shifter races. Stories she might not have believed, if not for her own research into the matter—research that hardly prepares her for the trials of magic she and her cousins will endure as they set off that Midwinter’s night to discover their roots. Nor does it prepare the three for what they find on the other side of the mystical portal their fathers disappeared into: the ursa, a fertility-focused race of bear shifters, with customs that defy their human sensibilities. Except the trio swiftly learn they aren’t really human either, and once inside the ursa Sanctuary, they are just as bound by ursa laws as the earth is bound by the seasons. Emma and her cousins must make a choice: accept their legacies as ursa royalty, accept the love they find inside the sanctuary, or reject their passions and retreat to their safe, mundane lives, never to return to the realm they were meant to inherit.

Something inside the dragon temple their team discovers awakens a deeper part of her, and soon she learns of the ritual to awaken a long-forgotten race of creatures the world hasn’t seen in half a millennium. Her research tells her she’s a key. A virgin sacrifice. But it doesn’t tell her what that means. The magic in the temple reveals only that the dragons must awaken for her to earn Eben’s attention. She sheds her inhibitions in one dark, heated moment to make it happen. What follows is pleasure beyond her wildest and dirtiest dreams.
