When detective for hire, Ashira Cohen, was 13, her con artist father disappeared, leaving her with emotional scars and a limp she can't hide. But she toughened up, determined never to be played again. Is history repeating itself?

First, she's hit on the head during a stakeout, revealing a mysterious tattoo on the back of her skull. Even worse? It's a now-broken ward unleashing dangerous magic that as a Mundane, she shouldn't possess. 

Her unruly powers nearly kill her long-time nemesis, Levi, the uptight leader of the magic community. One word from him about her forbidden abilities, and everything she's built will be taken from her… by force.

The only bright spot is that Levi requires her supernatural skills, providing Ash's chance at payback and she's going to enjoy every second of it.

Series includes: Blood & Ash, Death & Desire, Shadows & Surrender, and Revenge & Rapture.

The Jezebel Files

My exit from Hedon was an anticlimactic elevator ride, but oh goody, my life was livened up by Levi's stupid mug. He sat on Moriarty's hood, his hair a raven's blue-black in the sunlight with a pair of shades obscuring his eyes. He was the picture of cool and unaffected in his camel trench coat, his long legs stretched out. 


I sat down beside him, leaning back on my elbows with my face turned up to the sky, grateful to have made it back to the light.  


"I'm sorry about last night," he said. 


"Words many a woman has heard from you." 


"You were scared of the smudge. But afterwards, even though you were mad, you also looked terrified. If that was because of me, I sincerely apologize." He took off his sunglasses, his remorse clear. 


"I'll accept your apology for mindfucking me instead. What happened after wasn't about you." I shook my head at his inquiring look, not ready to discuss my dark side wanting to rip out his magic.
