Description:
Powerful
yet tormented modern warlock Quinn Fairmont must initiate the silver-eyed Cade
Mairston into the world of witchfinders, Withinners, and what can happen when
two men fall truly, madly, deeply in love.
THE WORLD IN SHADOW
In modern London there lurks a
warlock, Quinn Fairmont. Dangerous, powerful, tortured, sharing his body with
the soul of an ancient Welsh sorcerer, Quinn is never alone—and never wholly
himself. He fights against all those who would exploit his kind. He takes
pleasure where he can find it.
In the forest of Hampstead Heath,
Quinn’s hometown, Cade Mairston appears to him like a waking dream. Lithe, lean
and silver-eyed, he evokes feelings in Quinn unlike any other: lust with true
affection, immediate and shocking. Cade is clearly more than he seems. And yet,
if a man of the world, Cade is innocent. He knows nothing of warlocks,
witchfinders or Withinners. He knows nothing of what he is, what he might be,
or what he might feel. For him, the story is just beginning. Magyck, peril and
passion await.
The
stranger frowned as he moved forward, holding out his hand. “Perhaps if I
introduced myself, we could start again. Quinn Fairmont.”
He held
out a hand and Cade regarded it mutinously. Finally he reached out and shook it
half-heartedly and Fairmont pulled him to his feet. “Cade Mairston. And I’m no
fucking knave in need of rescue.”
Quinn
Fairmont smiled at him, having the last word but his eyes narrowed and his
nostrils flared. He held onto Cade’s hand too long until finally Cade pulled it
back, feeling a strange disquiet as well as a familiar sexual stirring in his
groin, with his cock slowly rising, scenting a possible conquest.
He was
used to getting rock hard when he saw something he liked but the speedy
progression of his current hard-on surprised him. Quinn regarded him with a
more intense scrutiny than before. He lifted his head, sniffing the air, the
same as the figure Cade had seen earlier had done. It was a disconcerting
sight, like a lion scenting its prey.
“Did you
see that man in the clearing?” Cade asked him. He needed to take his mind off
the turmoil in his groin and the feeling of disquiet in his belly. He blinked,
trying to clear the irritating haze in the air.
Quinn
frowned and turned around to peer behind him. “What man?”
“There
was a man crouched down on the ground not too long ago. He was whispering.”
Cade’s vision cleared.
Quinn
Fairmont took another step back, his face set. The smile he’d been wearing had
disappeared.
Quinn
shook his head carefully. “I didn’t see anyone. There’s only me around to my
knowledge.”
Cade
stepped forward and gestured toward where he’d seen the figure. “He was there.
I saw him. Are you sure you didn’t see anyone?”
Quinn’s
face was blank now, his eyes watchful. He seemed less composed than before. “I
saw no one. Like I told you, there was no one else around when I saw you.”
Cade
shook his head, mystified. “He must have disappeared very quickly then. I
wonder where he went to.”
Quinn
moved closer to Cade and once again his nostrils flared. Cade’s pupils dilated.
His insides churned, lust for this man rising through his body as his groin
burnt with heat. He stepped back in confusion, his erection swelling most
uncomfortably. He swallowed.
Quinn’s
nostrils flared and he narrowed his eyes. His chin lifted and he sniffed.
Despite his discomfort, Cade was taken aback by the action.
“Are you
sniffing me?” he asked acerbically.

money to give up the day job and get that big old house in the English
countryside overlooking a river, where she can write all day and continue to
indulge her passion for telling stories.
