BLURB:
Kya
Hawl is an architect on the Precinct One redevelopment, a prestigious and
contentious project in the city-state of Velli. While she is happy with her
part-time female lover, Judge Elmi Chadee, she wants more. She wants a family
and children, for that she needs two men willing to put their life on the line
to breed.
Tref Xant and his
partner Dru Macon seem like the right guys; however, Tref has secrets and Dru is
about to deploy to Precinct One, one of the roughest precincts in Velli--the
redevelopment can’t come soon enough. Tref would like to see the place burned
to the ground. But even that wouldn’t be able to erase his memories of growing
up there.
With Dru away Tref
finds himself falling for Kya. Jealousy sparks between the men. A triad can
never form as Dru wants Elmi and she has sworn off unions after her sister ran
away to join the Terrin Sect.
As riots erupt and the
redevelopment is threatened Dru realizes he has to fight for what he
wants--something Tref learned long time ago. A four-way union--while
unusual--would work. But will the women agree when they learn of Tref’s past?

Excerpt:
“Mmm.” She pressed against him; her wings opened to encircle
them. “I want to sink my teeth into you.” The words tumbled out even though she
had no right to say them, or ask him to make that sacrifice. He wasn’t hers.
They weren’t that close.
He groaned and nuzzled against her neck. His teeth pressed
against her skin but didn’t break it. She wanted him too. She wanted him so
much at that moment. It was like she was solstice crazy. Those old stories
suddenly took shape and had a meaning she’d never realized before. The Huntress
had never meant to kill her lover, but she hungered for him and had lost
control.
People walked past, laughing, whistling.
Kya closed her eyes and took a shaky breath that filled her
lungs with his scent. It was sharp and sweet—perfect for him. She placed her
hands on his chest, let her fingers splay over the muscle. She had to regain
control. The summer night thrummed in her blood. Unrequited hunger and lust
burned in her body.
Had she ever wanted anyone quite so badly?
If she tasted him, would she go too far?
No, she was in control of her body. She was not a slave to
biology. She wouldn’t kill her lover—he wasn’t her lover. She should just go
home. She would not fall victim to solstice lust the way so many people did,
and she most certainly didn’t want any children yet. But as his hands cupped
her butt and brought her closer so she could feel him hard against her belly,
she wasn’t so sure she could resist. Or that she even wanted to.
“Have a taste; go to bed with me on your tongue.” His voice
was rough. His hands were still on her butt as he moved against her with
unspoken promise.
