Shadowtide: Book 1

Advance Reader Copy

Blurb

A high action, sizzling hot for teacher romantic fantasy high sea adventure.

After two long years incarcerated, and now out on a limited probation, Lisia no longer remembers what freedom tastes like. Her desire to spend what limited quality time she has with her family is put on hold when a chance encounter with a striking stranger triggers magic that illegally marks them both, a secret that could cost them their lives if discovered.

Forced to leave her home and participate in the grueling training program required of all former prisoners, Lisia must hide the magic glyph from instructors and classmates alike, while resisting the growing attraction she feels towards her newest instructor, who happens to be none other than the man she's magically bonded to. But he has other ideas, and is determined to understand the dangerous magic between them, even as it blurs the lines between student and teacher.

Lisia has bigger problems though, with other prisoners out for her blood attending the training alongside her. Graduating the training isn't the goal—its the starting line in a fight for her life.
