Blurb:
Raven Crawford knows better than to venture into the
seductive world of the dark fae or agree to any of their salacious promises.
She plans to pay off her debts so she can get on with her life and stay far
away from the denizens of the Underworld.
Unfortunately, her numbskull twin steals from the most tempting and lethal fae of them all. Now, Raven must help the Lord of Shadows get back what her idiot brother stole. Her only weapons? Just a little ingenuity and a whole lot of snark. It’s suicide for sure, but she’ll do anything to protect her twin.

Excerpt:
The
imposing man loomed in the entrance of her brother’s building. He stood with
confidence instead of cowering like the lock-picking menace he really was. What
type of ever-loving Underworld trouble had Bear joined now?
Luke’s
dark gaze, edgy with Otherness, scanned the foyer. She watched from the
shadows, cocooned in Cole’s heat, heady scent and strong arms. The Lord of
Shadows behind her remained relaxed. A thin veil of darkness shielded her
vision, almost as though Cole had thrown some sort of invisibility cloak over
them. Tension knotted Raven’s shoulders.
The
smooth veneer of Luke’s polished business image slipped away, and his piercing
gaze roamed the entrance. She flinched when it reached her. Instead of tensing
or letting out some sort of dark fae war cry, Luke’s menacing gaze passed over
her and Cole without hesitation.
Luke
glided across the floor. No other word described his progress. Technically, he
moved one foot after the other and his boots hit the old tiles of the foyer,
but he walked with a fluidity only an Other could pull off. He flowed across
the room without effort, like one of those dancers on TV, just without the
fancy footwork.
He
paused at the elevator. He tilted his head and stared at the closed metallic
doors for a minute. Raven held her breath. Instead of pushing the button for
the elevator, Luke pivoted and took the stairs.
The
fluorescent lights in the lobby buzzed. One flickered. When the second-floor
door creaked to announce he’d arrived on her brother’s floor, Raven let out a
long breath. The tension eased from her body, and she slumped against Cole.
Against
the Patron Fae of Assassins.
Instantly,
the tension returned. She bolted forward.
The
strong arms anchoring her in place released her. She stumbled a few steps and
flung out her arms. Her hand slapped the wall, and she stopped her
forward-propelling body before completely face-planting.
She
spun around.
The
shadows withdrew, revealing Cole in all his drool-worthy glory. Amusement
danced in his dark, intense gaze, only a foot away.
“You
smell of the rain,” he whispered.
