BOUND BY FLAME

Romance Paranormal | Paranormal

As a Sibyl and a member of the North Manhattan fighting triad, Cynda Flynn is a tried warrior of the old blood. Her current assignment has her working the mean (and cold) streets of New York City with her sisters in magic, Riana and Merilee. Together the three work their elemental magic, Cynda -- fire, Riana -- earth, Merilee -- air, to protect mortal man from the dark supernatural magic at work in the world.

After infiltrating the Legion and spending five years undercover with the vile demons that make up its ranks, half-human/half-demon cop Nick Lowell knows how the vermin think and is the man most likely to predict their next move. Or so the theory goes. The Legion takes the good guys completely by surprise when it targets and attempts to murder the entire line of fire Sibyls. Cynda barely escapes the brutal attack and the sisterhood enlists Nick to act as her bodyguard until the guilty parties are hunted down and destroyed. Cynda objects; she's not a woman who appreciates a babysitter, but her complaints fall on deaf ears. Nick is in total agreement with her triad sisters and intends to stick to Cynda like her shadow, closer if she'll let him. And she's definitely thinking about letting him.

BOUND BY FLAME is as action-packed and sexy as its predecessor, BOUND BY SHADOW. The last book in the trilogy, BOUND BY LIGHT, will follow in August.

SUMMARY

Gorgeous flame-haired Cynda Flynn knows fireβ€”its heat, its power, its magic. A fully trained Sybil warrior priestess, Cynda’s weapon is flame. But she’s unprepared for the passion ignited by Nick Lowell, an undercover cop in the NYPD’s Occult Crime Unit. He’s half human, half demon, and hotter than hell, with fathomless black eyes that ignite something buried deep inside Cynda, making her melt in all the right places. Luckily, Nick has found a way to control his dark side, but he’s done it old-schoolβ€”through steel-willed self-control. And after five years working secretly within the deadly Legion cult, he’s unbreakable. Or he was, until Cynda came along. Now it’s personalβ€”and even his big bad love may not be enough to halt a terrible new evil snuffing out fire Sybils like Cynda. It’s nasty. And if it can’t be stopped, they’re all going to fry.
