Heart of Stone

Devon Stone has been living alone in the Mountain for twelve years. Being half-Werewolf, half-Wizard means there’s no real home for him in either Nimueh’s Court or Connor’s Court. And he’s been fending for himself for long enough to know he’s better off alone. Besides, by now he’s used to the loneliness and, most of the time, he likes it that way. Does a part of him want love? Sure. But that’s what romance novels are for. No Werewolf or Wizard wants to get involved with a halfbreed, anyway.

But when a strange and gorgeous Fae falls into his path—literally—Devon starts to wonder if maybe he’s finally got a chance at something real. If only he can open his heart enough to try.

Luke is in a peck of trouble. Well, maybe more than a peck. One deal too far, and he’s landed himself in the hands of the Sequoia crime family. And they’re itching for retribution. So Luke does what Luke does best—he makes a deal. Only this one is for his life, with a bargain so great even he might come up short. The Sequoias send him into Mount Draco to collect an abandoned stash of raw sapphires. But no one who goes into Mount Draco comes back out alive...

When Luke wakes up in the hands of a young and beautiful stranger who seems to live in the Mountain, he sees an opportunity that might just save his life. But the stranger adds more complications than he solves because—well, Luke might be falling for him. And love is a tough trade when his life is on the line.

Can Devon trust Luke enough to let him into his heart? Can Luke deliver on his deal without Devon finding out? Or will Luke’s dangerous secret cost him more than his life?
