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 heart threatened to punch out my ribcage. I never planned on saying it first. Second maybe, somewhere far in the future, when it was a safe, sure bet. Except safe and sure were empty words in the face of this feeling filling me up and the clarity I no longer wanted to hide. 


I took a deep breath and ripped the Band-Aid off. "I love you." I counted off twelve heartbeats before I punched him. "Say something." 


The joy in his smile was so palpable that if I reached out, I could catch hold of it, like a firefly. "I love you, too," he said. 


I swear the ground rocked like gentle waves as I leaned into him. My boat had found its safe harbor, nestled in the scent of oaky amber scotch and chocolate and my name written in his heart.  


Levi tried to grab the cell but I shielded it with my body. "I declare my love and you're googling something?" he said.
