When destiny calls, you don't hit ignore...


Delaney Morgan's ho-hum life begins to fray around the edges when her cop brother is framed and imprisoned. Determined to exonerate him, she starts poking her nose where it doesn't belong. Things go from extra-ordinary to extraordinary with her discovery of Mr. Tall, Dark, and Naked washed up on a deserted Oregon beach.


Rowan MacLachlan's no ordinary man. He's a Water Mage, a Supernatural Enforcer...and since the slaughter of his entire family, Chieftain of his Clan. Recently escaped from the clutches of the Sorceress Cearde, he's drawn to Delaney's intense Aillidh--the Shining--her newly awakening Powers. She learns her brother possessed similar Powers, and his "situation" is entangled with the magical forces he tried to shield her from.


Drawn into an epic battle of light and dark, with a kick-ass pair of boots and a Bon Jovi inspired battle cry, Delaney vows to help Rowan avenge his family, and free her brother from the dark forces holding him captive. First, Rowan must teach her to control and wield her new Magic.


When passion flares between mentor and student, so do their Powers. With Delaney's help, Rowan plans to vanquish the evil bitch who killed his family. Even if it means betraying the woman he's come to love.


One of them may be required to make the ultimate sacrifice.


Can love really conquer all? Betrayal. Evil. Even death?


Delaney's about to find out. Because she's destined to be Slaighre a' Teathra...the Sword of the Raven.
