Desperate Magic By Rebecca York Book three of The Chronicles of Arandal
Willow was left behind when her sister Rowan fled Valleyhold and became Queen of
Arandal. Now she’s receiving broken telepathic messages from the new queen, begging for
help. She’ll do anything to reach her, even if that means risking her life to break
through Valleyhold’s protective magic. Dragon shifter Cullendor sees opportunity in
Willow’s desperation. He needs someone to show him how humans behave so he can steal the
throne of Arandal from Rowan’s husband. After he saves Willow’s life, he thinks she’s
just the woman to teach him. But when he seduces her, he’s not expecting her to teach
him how to love. As Willow and Cullendor draw closer to Rowan, Cullendor begins to
wonder whether power is really more important to him than love. But once Willow
discovers the secrets he’s been hiding, how will he convince her that his feelings are
real? 22,000 words Views: 20

But now his teenage daughter has fallen in love with Prussirian BBD—Ut’s most notorious outlaw—a man who has broken Mamacita’s cardinal rule: he makes music.** Views: 20
