isn't as easy as it seems. Not only is Creed himself a secret half-demon now
going against his own kin, but when he discovers numerous innocent children are
being kidnapped in the mountains, he second guesses his mission. Justice should
be for all, not just for demon spawn.
Living in a world of cruel men,
Nieve has no memory of her life before her enslavement. But when Creed comes
around asking questions about missing children, the memories of her half-demon
son - and the demon who tricked her - come flooding back. Now, Nieve will do
anything to get her son back...even if it means putting her trust in Creed.
Together they set out to find the
Demon Slayer who can help them. Little do they know the demon who fathered
Nieve's son is also searching for Nieve, and he's teamed up with the kidnapper
to draw her out. Creed and Nieve must
race against the clock to save the children, their hearts, and the world.

Author Bio:
I’d like to be able to
say I always wanted to be a writer, but the truth is I thought it looked like a
lot of hard work. Life, however, sometimes leads us down paths we never
intended to take.
From the very beginning, my parents
encouraged my love of books. When a Grade One teacher suggested I wrote too
many “thrillers,” my mother, an English teacher, said I could write – and read
– whatever I wanted. My high school English teachers later backed her up on
that. In university, I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Social
Anthropology. At the time it was a whim, but it’s amazing how much that little
piece of paper has benefited me over the years.Researching the history of
civilizations has led to many intriguing worldbuilding possibilities.
When my children were babies and
money was tight, my mother, grandmother, and husband bought me an electric
typewriter for my birthday because they knew I was bored and wanted me to be
happy. My mother became my very first critique partner, willingly reading pages
and pages of manuscripts no one should ever have to suffer through. She
researched markets for me, and introduced me to a journalist friend, who in
turn introduced me to the Writers Federation of Nova Scotia. My brother and my
brother-in-law introduced me to Thieves’ World, David Eddings, and Piers
Anthony. My sister gave me my first computer.
My grandmothers believed if something’s
too hard, you aren’t working hard enough. My brother and sisters have all
successfully followed their dreams, and my husband and two sons offer me proof
every day that hard work is something to be embraced, not avoided. With these
people behind me, how could I possibly stray from a path on which life seems to
have planted them as guardrails?
Time for a GIVEAWAY!!
