Blurb:
Nurse
practitioner and midwife Raven O’Malley has no idea what she’ll be
getting into when she takes on her newest client, who lives at the
Citadel with not one but two handsome men. The other cadre members are
equally attractive but it’s Cayden McPherson and Killian O’Connell who
set their sights on her.
Raven has enough to deal with. A
daughter, a puppy, a demanding job, and a mobster ex-husband. Now a
blackmailer wants her to spy on the Citadel or she risks her daughter’s
life.
The cadre members know there are forces of darkness
to battle and evil exists in both worlds. Can Cayden and Killian
protect the woman they love or will they lose her to enemies seen and
unseen?
Shifters with a sci-fi twist, Guarded Hearts
Season One (Books 1-7) follows members of the Order of the Phoenix.
Each book in this interconnected storyline provides a happily-ever-after
for the main characters. While the first book of Season One can be
read as a stand-alone, the following titles will be more fully enjoyed
and understood if they are read in order, beginning with Morgan (Guarded

Excerpt:
Cayden was just leaving the kitchen when she caught up to him.
“We
need to talk,” she snapped. Catching his hand, she dragged him down the
hall and into the infirmary. “What the feck is going on?” she demanded.
Cayden frowned. “What?” he asked, feigning ignorance.
“They know,” she grated. “Casey. Morgan. The others. They know about us. What did you tell them? What did you say?”
The
medic rubbed a hand over his face and blew out a breath. “Ye’re nae
gang tae like it,” he warned. “We’ve been holding off, telling ye
because of it, but there’s no help for it now, is there? Yer scent is
enough tae make it clear that we’ve done the deed,” he told her. “Our
kind can smell when a woman goes through the flux and her body is
transformed. Ye need to talk to
Morgan and Casey about what they
went through, but Casey’s experience is like tae be closer. Morgan’s
change was put off when she ingested vampire blood—”
“Vampires?” Raven stared at him, incredulous. “You’re telling me that there are vampires? That they’re real.”
He
nodded, his green eyes as serious as she’d ever seen them. “They are
that,” he told her. “One targeted Morgan. We killed it, but another one
kidnapped her. We got her back and cleaned out the nest. We think we got
them all now.”
“You think. You think? Jaysus, Joseph, and Mary!
You should have told me!” she yelled at him. “Bloody hell! You and your
mate could have told me any time, but you didn’t say a damn word, just
lured me upstairs and had your way with me. You’ve changed my body
without my consent. Now I’ve put my daughter in danger after thinking I
was bringing her to a sanctuary. My ex kept things from me. I’m warning
you right now, I expect full disclosure in the future or there’s going
to be hell to pay. Do you hear me?”
She poked him in the chest to make her point.
Cayden
released the breath he’d been holding. “Let me call Killian, then. Get
him down here. If we’re gang tae hae a heart-tae-heart, it needs tae be
the three of us.
Zana was with Willow and Prince. Free to come,
Killian joined them as soon as he could make his way downstairs. “What’s
up?” he asked, picking up the tension in the air.
“She knows,”
Cayden told him. “Or knows the start of it, anyway. She’s demanded full
disclosure. It’s better tae hear it from the both of us than tae hear it
from one and again from the other.”
Killian nodded. “Ye’re the medic. I’ll let ye explain the way of things.”
“We’ve
told ye what we are, that these robes of flesh have four strands of
DNA. When a fated mate is found, the introduction of sperm starts the
transformation process to change her body, making it compatible, able to
conceive and bear children.”
“I don’t understand,” Raven clipped. “I can’t have children. I told you that. It shouldn’t have affected me.”
“But
it did,” Killian assured her. “We don’t understand it either, but we
knew from the first that you were the one for us, the woman to complete
us. The males of our kind experience what we call the quickening. It’s a
physical response to a fated mate. Lets us know that she’s the one. We
felt it with ye. We will not question God’s will. Ye were chosen for us.
Transformed by us. But there are other things…”
Raven was
seething at their disregard for her. “And you thought it was fine to go
and do it because it’s all in the plan?” she grated. “You gave no
thought to what I wanted or the fact it’s not just me. Do you know how
selfish that is? How arrogant?” She buried her face in her hands. “I
really can’t deal with this right now. I should get Willow and Prince
and pack up the damn car and get the hell out while I can.”
“Ye
need tae listen,” Cayden told her, lowering his voice in a way that did
strange things to her insides. Grasping her biceps, he pulled her easily
to him. She wanted to grind against him. Use him like they’d used her.
How dare they!
Raven struggled to break free, clawing at his arms deep enough to leave bloody scratches when he refused to let her go.
She went still when she saw the gouges healing before her eyes.
“Full
disclosure,” Cayden growled in that voice of his. “This is a hint of my
true voice. It has power… affects people in different ways. Mine will
make ye wish to obey. Doctor’s orders.” He said it half-jokingly, but
the man was deadly serious. “Iosefa’s will put someone tae sleep. The
new mothers are sure tae keep him on call when the bairns get here and
they need some rest. These bodies hae regenerative powers. Accelerated
healing. Lack of scarring. But the thing ye need most tae understand is
that ye’ll live as long as us.”
