Magic Touch

Unlike many believed, Venus is not inhabitable, but rather a planet which has cloaked itself. In this world of magic and warriors, High Prince Randall deCarthwright and his two best friends, his cousin, Jonathan deCarthwright, and the daughter of his dad's advisor, Grace Anne O'Connor, grew up. Rand will soon take over the kingdom; Gracie longs to follow in her father's footsteps; and Jonathan is a powerful vindexicis warrior-all believe they're on set courses, until a prophesy shatters that belief. Gracie, her belief broken in the prophesy after time and distance from her chosen mate, is furious when she finds out the King has arranged her marriage to Rand, and she's even more shocked to find out Rand wants the wedding to take place! But Rand is determined to claim Gracie and now, with the time at hand, the mezlcar, their intense mating ritual, begins to burn as an unseen force plots against them, and Rand is torn between mating with or protecting his chosen.
