Elementals
Darya Drake is a Water Elemental who has lived a difficult life. She’s raising her younger brother, Matthew, who is mentally ill, and she has had to fight off Phages—Elementals who kill and cannibalize other Elementals to steal their powers. It isn’t until she meets Ethan Zale, a Water Elemental with stormy blue eyes and a body to die for, that she dares to hope for a better future. Ethan is everything she has ever wanted, but trouble looms when a Phage begins stalking her. Can Ethan find out who is after her and keep her safe? Will her brother accept another man in her life? Darya discovers true love in the midst of strife, but for a girl who has lost almost everyone she has ever cared about, it’s hard to believe in happy endings.
A frisson of fear and magic skittered down Darya’s spine as the killer stepped from the shadows. She was close to her apartment but not close enough—stuck on the dark side of the building where the security lights were broken again. What she could see of his face was human: dark eyebrows, high cheekbones, and full lips that might have been sensuous had they not been curled in a sneer.
Dragon Tears (Book 2)
It isn’t until Lucius Brant, a powerful healer and fellow Fire Elemental, enters his life that Matthew starts to feel like he can think more clearly. But Lucius isn’t the only one taking an interest in him. A killer is on the loose somewhere in the city and is trying to frame him. Can Matthew trust Lucius to heal his mind? Can he find out who the real killer is and clear his name? He has to survive long enough to find out.
Matthew continued to walk down Coconut Drive. The night sky was dark and slightly clouded, and the air around him was humid. It had rained earlier in the evening, and the streets and sidewalks were damp, though they no longer held standing puddles. All of the shops and restaurants around here were one or two stories tall, but it felt like they were crowding the street. He slipped along in the shadows and only stopped to listen to the music pouring out from some of the open doorways.
Livi’s lips parted in disbelief as she spotted the man who had entered the dance studio. He was the last person she expected to see, and her heart did a funny little jig at the sight of him. His short brunet hair looked like smooth dark chocolate, and his bangs fell in sexy strands across his forehead. As she watched, he scanned the room with an intensity that made her squirm.
