Dirk Raynell is the half-elf son of Lex, the elf who founded the magical team. But he isn’t certain he wants to become a member, even after he meets its charismatic and very gay Elven leader Tonio. The team is comprised of Felan, a wolf-shifter; Reni, a vampire witch; Mattie, a human witch; and Bay, a human warlock who is cursed to come back each time he dies at the age he was at his first death. The sixth, unofficial member is Nina, Tonio's twin sister and a healer.<br><br>Then Dirk becomes embroiled in the jobs the team does, including taking down a mobster and trying to eliminate a very evil sorcerer. Along the way he falls for Bay and discovers swirling undercurrents within the team which could determine if they can successfully stop the sorcerer before he destroys them all.

A Magical Team

“Yeah, it was. Now, we have to work it off.”


Dirk cocked an eyebrow. “Doing what?”


“I’m taking you to one of my favorite clubs, so finish your tea while I pay the bill.”


“I’ll pay my half,” Dirk protested.


“Nope, this was my idea, I invited you, I’m paying. And before you ask, I’m hardly poor. When you live as long as I have, you learn to put money away for the next time around. It’s accumulated quite well over the years.”


“You and my father,” Dirk said. “I guess that’s one advantage to living a long time.”


Bay watched Dirk with amusement as they walked into the club. The younger man looked around, his eyes widening when he realized where they were, or more to the point what kind of club it was.


“They’re almost all men,” he whispered, looking up at Bay.


“Usually are, in a gay club,” Bay agreed with a grin. Putting one hand on Dirk’s shoulder, he steeredhim to a vacant seat at the bar. “Name your poison.”
