LOGINI stepped forward, taking the ring off and holding it up for photographs. The mark of the Goddess' Benevolence on my hand. And I looked at Neil, who looked hesitant. His eyes seemed so young and gentle then. He took off his own illusion and revealed the mark on his hand. The gasp that filled the hal
The day of the gala, my stomach was a mess of excitement and nerves. Neil, Dominic, and I had spent days alone in my condo. And while we still hadn't gotten past. Feeling each other up over clothing, I was pretty satisfied. They seemed happy as well. Arielle, grandpa, and I arrived together in one o
“Depressing things later. Food now. How about steaks?"That earned a startled laugh out of Dominic."Steaks… sound great."Neil moved like a man on a mission in my kitchen. Within minutes, the apartment smelled like toasted bread, cooking meat, potatoes, and something herby that I couldn’t quite nam

His eyes closed briefly and took a deep breath. Then exhaled, long and tired. All the pain, all the betrayal, it was written into the lines of his face. It was hilarious."So, crank up the car, and let's go home." I pulled out my phone. "And I want new jewelry as an apology."“Vivian, despite what y
And then came the bombshell.“Vivian Brightclaw,” the judge intoned, “you are further charged with sexual coercion of Mr. Tyler Blake, as evidenced by his own testimony and the dated documentation of threats tied to your financial influence over him."Vivian’s gasp could have shattered the stained g
It was odd to meet him here. I’d been to nicer restaurants. Yes, that was a recent development, but this didn't feel like a place Dominic would usually frequent. There was something about this one. It was tucked off a quiet cliffside highway and hidden behind high hedges and valet-only parking. The
“Okay, this is adorable,” I murmured as we stepped out and the scent of cinnamon, clove, and sugar drifted into the air. "What is it?"“I thought you could use something a little lighter. And mom suggested it. It's a hotspot for witches. Some of us call it a cultural center. The rest just call it di
