Bloodfire
Mackenzie Smith has always known that she was different. Growing up as the only
human in a pack of rural shapeshifters will do that to you, but then couple it
with some mean fighting skills and a fiery temper and you end up with a woman
that few will dare to cross. However, when the only father figure in her life
is brutally murdered, and the dangerous Brethren with their predatory Lord
Alpha come to investigate, Mack has to not only ensure the physical safety of
her adopted family by hiding her apparent humanity, she also has to seek the
blood-soaked vengeance that she craves.
Bloodmagic
Now she has to decide between staying hidden and facing the music, as well as confronting her real feelings for the green eyed power of Corrigan himself.
Bloodrage
Mack begins her training at the mages' academy in the hope
that, by complying, the stasis spell will be lifted from her old friend, Mrs.
Alcoon. However, once there, she finds herself surrounded by unfriendly adults and
petulant teenagers, the majority of whom seem determined to see her fail.
Feeling attacked on all fronts, Mack finds it harder and harder to keep a rein on her temper. Forced to attend anger management classes and deal with the predatory attentions of Corrigan, the Lord Alpha of the shapeshifter world, her emotions start to unravel. But when she comes across a familiar text within the walls of the mages' library, which might just provide the clues she needs to unlock the secrets of her background and her dragon blood, she realises that her problems are only just beginning...

EXCERPT from Bloodfire:
I scanned the bookshelves again, looking for something that
might help and was about to pull down a precious gems and magical objects encyclopaedia
when I suddenly heard voices and the slamming of doors from outside. Bugger it.
Quickly closing down the computer, I stepped back into the outer office. I was just in time because Staines came
suddenly striding in with the Lord Alpha.
They were in mid conversation and didn’t see me at first.
“My lord, we need to focus on the magic trail before
anything else,” Staines was saying.
The Alpha growled.
“The mage can do that better than us.
It’s the tree markings that interest…” his voice trailed off as he saw
me and his green eyes narrowed.
“Hi!” I said brightly.
“Found it!” I held up my mug for
display.
They both just stared at me silently. I cleared my throat. “Well, I’ll get out your way then.” I moved towards the door but the Alpha was
blocking it. I looked up at him, waiting
for him to move out my way. He folded
his arms and continued to stare.
I felt a flicker of irritation from my bloodfire. This was my keep, not his. I moved to brush past him, registering the
hard steely curve of his muscles as my arm touched his. He moved further back, blocking the doorway
completely.
“Miss Mackenzie,” he drawled softly.
