an enchanted underwater city.
After beating an evil sorcerer at his own game, Sienna Devilin
awaits her husband’s return from Germany. Once Drake Devilin arrives, Sienna

out of their new obligation. Sienna is more determined than ever to fight off
demons from her past and monsters in their not too distant future.

Book Excerpt
Light snow fell to the earth. The
flakes melted nearly as quickly as they landed. Drake welcomed the fresh
air.
Yards from the house he tracked his
wife’s scent near the horse’s paddock. Sienna stood under the full moon in
front of the big animals that grazed by the fence. He worked his way past the
medical tents to join her. Pretty and peaceful, it was no wonder she came to
the pasture since dinner had been a complete and utter disaster.
Murphy and Barker joined them for a
marvelous evening—along with their wives—for screaming, cursing, and his
personal favorite…crying. Murphy’s spouse, Evie, called him every name and then
some, while Alex, Barker’s wife, sat in her seat softly sobbing. Somewhere
before dessert but after dinner Sienna snuck off.
“Dear
wife,” he whispered in her ear before he placed his coat over her shoulders. “I
will extend to you my sincerest apologies for not being forthright, but you
must promise to never make me sit through anything similar to that again.”
Confident he wouldn’t beturned into a toad when she chuckled he pulled her back
into his chest.
“They’re
worried about their men.”
“I gave
them a choice this afternoon.” Drake buried his nose into the careless curls
constructed on top of her head. “It is out of my hands,” he murmured,
submerging himself in her sweet scent.
“Evie and Alex are not angry at you
per se. They’re mad at the amount of loyalty their husbands display toward you
and their country.”
“I am not the villain here.” He
sighed. “Am I yours?”
Sienna turned in his arms.
Slow drifting snow caught on her long
eyelashes, illuminating her beautiful face. Drake captured her lips, and
attacked her sweet mouth. Only for a moment, he thought to himself
before he released her.
“Why did you stop, Captain? Afraid
you’ll lose your mind?” She continued to tempt him with tiny kisses to the
underside of his chin. The sum of her powers were too great for one person
alone. Extreme anger or sadness could send her into a downward spiral. It had
taken Sienna years to learn how to control the balance of her emotions.
Otherwise, the sanctity of her sanity would be put into question. Drake
remembered all too clearly when she nearly went mad.
“I was falling in love with you,”
Sienna replied.
Drake felt that she was wrong and it
was the other way around. His raw need for Sienna almost certainly sent her
over the edge. Even now, every time he got too close another spark of magic
would course through his veins. He couldn’t imagine what a huge wave of her
power would do to him.
“Tell me,
Captain, are you afraid of the devil in me or is it the devil in you?” Sienna
rose on the tips of her toes to kiss the side of his mouth. Weeks had gone by
where he didn’t think he would ever see her again. Drake felt the soft palm of
her hand caress his face, while she sweetly nipped at his neck. Regardless of
his wants or needs, he understood what was at stake for the both of them.
