Devil's Ball

A Shadow Ancient Tale... When the Ancients' high elder is murdered in his bed, Giorgio Montrosa is assigned to find the killer – fast. So he's not opposed to being given a partner, especially when that partner is hand-picked by the Prophetess, the Ancient's highest authority. He didn't expect help to come in the form of Leykin Reneaut. After all, they weren't formally introduced until after she'd shoved him to the floor and covered him with ice. And once they are, he wonders if her youth and inexperience will make her more hindrance than help. The last thing Leykin expected when she left Minnesota was to work with the famed Giorgio Montrosa, whose reputation as a big, bad enforcer is all she knows about him. But as they work together to find the killer, solve a kidnapping, and unravel a plot to dethrone the entire ruling council, she discovers the sexy man beneath the tough exterior. The attraction, she soon learns, is mutual. But can they live long enough to find their happy ending?
