About this ebook

On Canada’s frontier, nature is brutal—but the supernatural can really do you in… “The action explodes on page one and the pace never lets up.”—Ann Aguirre, New York Times-bestselling author of The Leopard King

A Lone Wolf

Nathan Lesperance is used to being different. He's the first Native attorney in Vancouver, and welcome neither within white society nor his sometime tribe. Not to mention the powerful wildness he's always felt inside him, too dangerous to set free. Then he met Astrid Bramfield and saw his like within her piercing eyes. Now, unless she helps him through the harsh terrain and the harsher unknowns of his true abilities, it could very well get him killed. . .

…And The Woman Who Left The Pack

Astrid has traveled this path before. Once she was a Blade of the Rose, protecting the world's magic from unscrupulous men, with her husband by her side. But she's loved and lost, and as a world-class frontierswoman, she knows all about survival. Nathan's searing gaze and long, lean muscles mean nothing but trouble. Yet something has ignited a forgotten flame inside her: a burning need for adventure, for life--and perhaps even for love. . .

Praise for The Blades of the Rose

“Crackles with adventure, a rich sense of place, and terrific characterization.”—Mary Jo Putney on Warrior

Ratings and reviews

I was on the edge of my seat through most of this action based mystery. The story follows a Naitive American lawyer who was raised in camp after being taken from his family. He travels to the wilds and meets woman who brings out the magic hidden in him. His path leads him to stories of magic/native histories/danger/love and one great adventure. His eyes open to shifters/ witches/and anicent beings. It reminded me a lot of The Tarin Soul series. It had the same feeling in the action/romance/magical/adventure.
