Forbidden
Passions.
Deadly
secrets.
A love
that will stand against it all.
Liquid fire poured into me, filling me with the intimate sense of him as he leaned in to claim my lips with his own. I reached for him, needing him closer, needing to feel his flesh against mine, but my arms couldn't close the distance between us, which grew wider with each hitched breath. So close to finally feeling something real, something carnal and deep, I cried out in frustration, dropping my hands as he disappeared. My cries deepened into a frenzy of panic and my eyes flew open. I clutched my blanket and stilled myself to calm my racing heart.
Just a dream. Always just a dream.

Rose Wintersong didn't have an ordinary upbringing. Raised in what most would call a hippy commune, but what is actually a powerful coven of witches, she never questions the life fate chose for her.
Until she meets Derek O'Conner.
Derek challenges everything Rose believes and forces her to see the secrets hidden beneath the whitewashed walls of her idyllic country life.
Rose knows she should walk away, that the sexy martial arts instructor is bad news bred to create discord in her tight community... but the animal magnetism between them is impossible to fight.
Caught between the passion of first love, and the steady beat of the life she's always known, Rose must choose between the innocence of her youth or the pleasures of womanhood--but lost innocence comes at a price, and Rose harbors a dark secret that could destroy everyone she loves--including Derek.

New Adult Romance, Paranormal Romance, Urban Fantasy
Recommended for 17+, contains explicit sexual content
**Rose's story is a trilogy, not stand alone books.
The first two books have cliffhanger endings. Her complete story in one book is
now available as "Seduced", but all three books in the series are
available now. If you do not like cliffhanger endings, or do not want to buy
all three books to enjoy the complete love story, please consider waiting to
purchase until Seduced the omnibus edition is out.**
This
note is from the author. I read them in
the wrong order and managed to follow them fine. However, I do think that they are best as a
series.
Look for these books in the Seduced Saga

Their
passion will destroy them.
Only
true love can save them.
"Hope
is a fragile thing, yet strangely enduring. It hides in the crevices of pain,
burrowing deep until unseen, for fear that sorrow, in its rage, will devour
hope's desperate hold on the heart.
It can live there for years, silent and waiting. Or, it can be slaughtered with a word-- mankind's most powerful weapon.
They say that universes are created with words.
And with words, they are destroyed.
Just as mine has been."

In the sequel to Seduced by Innocence, Derek and Rose face even greater threats to their love as Derek fights to protect the core of his family's power while Rose struggles to control her own dark gift.

Review
So I know I reviewed them in the
wrong order, but I loved this book. In
fact, I think I liked it best. I felt so
sorry for Rose. I just wanted to be a
mom to her, and not like that @$# of a mom she has. Can’t say anymore, but let’s just say that
you might want to reach in and throttle her also…. Or maybe give her a swift
Gibbs/DiNozzo smack upside the head.
I loved how real the main characters
were. They were not perfect, but
flawed. They didn’t have easy lives, but
rather struggled just like anyone else (but with magic being an added problem).
I give this book (and the whole
series actually) a 4.5 out of 5 cloudsl
This

Thank you so much for reviewing the series. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :)
