Shadow of Temptation (Asylums for Magical Threats #2.5) (18 page)

Their sex life had always been fire and passion, each of them taking turns to fight for control. There had never been a need to seduce or convince Kian in the past—a heated look was all it had taken to get him naked above her. But she would do whatever it took to get him to feel whole again. It was going to take everything in her arsenal to convince him to fight for both himself and her. And to fight for their clan.

Acknowledgments

I can hardly believe this is my third release this year alone! Of course, while I’ve spent many hours writing, there are a lot of people who helped make this story possible.

As always, thanks to Jayelle Anderson, my friend and critique partner. This story was the hardest one for me to write so far, and she put up with reading the early, crappier versions of Jorge and Sabrina’s story. She’s a star!

My editor, Virginia Cantrell, is an all-around awesome person who has a knack for pointing out things that weren’t explained well enough. As you can imagine, with the amount of secrets that come out in my stories, she’s a huge help! Also, thanks to her boss, Becky Johnson of Hot Tree Editing, for her comments and being so easy to communicate with!

You might have noticed the new “look” of the AMT series, and I owe this beautiful transformation to Karri Klawiter of Art by Karri. She’s fast, she’s friendly, and she has massive amounts of talent. Thanks Karri!

And lastly, I thank you, the reader. I couldn’t do this without you!

About the Author

Jessie Donovan wrote her first story at age five, and after discovering
The Dragonriders of Pern
series by Anne McCaffrey in junior high, she realized people actually wanted to read stories like those floating around inside her head. From there on out, she was determined to tap into her over-active imagination and write a book someday.

After living abroad for five years and earning degrees in Japanese, Anthropology, and Secondary Education, she buckled down and finally wrote her first full-length book. While that story will never see the light of day, it laid the world-building groundwork of what would become her debut paranormal romance,
Blaze of Secrets
.

Jessie loves to interact with readers. When not reading a book or traipsing around some foreign country on a shoestring, can often be found on Facebook and Twitter. Check out her pages below:
