Life has changed forever in Redcliffe, Cornwall.
Jessica Stone used to be a normal, happy human. Now she is an angry, conflicted
and confused witch. It all happened when she met Detective Jack Mason and his
identical twin brother Danny. Jessica almost died twice, fell into a love
triangle, and she became a murderer. Now she faces the ultimate challenge as
she continues the fight to save the man she loves, while simultaneously
struggling with her lust for his werewolf brother and their vampire friend. Can
she survive, or will love finally end her life completely?
The
Redcliffe novels series follow the adventures of bookshop owner Jessica Stone
as she meets a man and falls in love, only to discover the hidden werewolf
secrets of her close friends. That includes Simon Bunce, manager of the Ship
Inn, who turns out to be lieutenant to the Redcliffe werewolf pack, and lover
to the wolf alpha Danny Mason. He fights to protect his master from the
ethereal animal familiar who threatens to claim their pack. Who knew the
Cornish coast could be so deadly?
Excerpt:
“Of course we frighten the alpha,”
she said scornfully, in my mind, “He is but a wolf. We are far superior. Allow
me to demonstrate.”
And
she sprang forward without warning, heading straight for my body. I cried out,
trying to move away from Danny and Simon, but I was too slow. My body convulsed
as Suri merged her spirit with mine. I felt it happen, but I was powerless to
react. I had no idea what I was dealing with. I was still just a witch in
training. Opening my eyes, I turned slowly, searching for the alpha male. Danny
was standing in the doorway, staring at me, his own power flaring, swirling
around him in a delicious storm of turmoil. Licking my lips, I advanced upon
him slowly, stalking my prey. My body felt lithe and supple, and while I still
looked and walked like a human, I could feel a tail swishing behind me, and my
muscles were that of the snow tiger. She was superimposed around my body, and
both wolves could clearly see her.
“Jessica,”
Danny said, shaking his head, “Jessica, please don’t do this. Send her away. Fight
her.”
I laughed, and my voice sounded deep and throaty, ending in a growl.

“I do
not want to send her away,” I said, “I want to embrace her power. She is my
tiger. We work together.”
“You
don’t mean that,” Danny replied, “Remember who I am.”
“You are the alpha male,” I said, “You are worthy of our attention.”
“You are the alpha male,” I said, “You are worthy of our attention.”
“Jessica,”
Danny said, “I do not want to play with your tiger. I want you,” he paused,
staring at me with glowing blue eyes, “Jessica, I want you.” He said again.
I
hesitated, mulling over his words. Something stirred within me, a memory of
another man who looked identical to the alpha. The other man was not a wolf. He
was dead. I didn’t want a dead thing. I
wanted heat, power, and life. I moved towards the alpha, my body preparing to
pounce. My movements were smooth, agile and feline. I loved the way I moved, so
graceful and delicate, so strong. I pounced.
