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

"You're telegraphing with your left hip." Miles jumped the leg that Levi swung out and pushed on Levi's shoulder.  


Levi hit the mat and winced, stretching out a hand for Miles to help him up. 


Miles grabbed it, and Levi gripped his forearm with his other hand, pulling Miles into some kind of roll and straddling him. 


"Tap out." Levi's hair hung forward over his eyes. 


Miles flung him off. "You had a good week when we were twelve. Haven't pinned me since, but optimistic of you to keep trying and recapture that dream." 


Levi laughed and jumped up, catching his shorts with one hand as they slid, exposing the glistening olive skin along the ridge of his hipbone. 


I jumped at Arkady's voice. "I wasn't - " I stammered. 


He wasn't even looking at me. "No seriously, take a picture. I left my phone back at my desk and that would break the Internet."
