When
magic is unleashed, will what they learn bring them closer together
or push them apart?
Prim
and proper Trinity Shilo is the assistant manager for Salem's
Wildlife Sanctuary. She hasn't had much luck in the boyfriend
department, but the new employee Paul is different. Deep and brooding
she sees something special hidden below the surface. Besides she has
secrets of her own.
Paul
Thorp is a wounded Special Forces veteran now working in security and
computer support. He's fought hard to keep his demons in check and
for the first time feels he is ready for a real relationship.
When
a fire breaks out at Puffin Cove Rescue they are called in to help
with the recovery and ice cream social fundraiser. Sometimes things
are not what they seem, and neither are people. When magic is
unleashed will what they learn bring them closer together or push
them apart? 
“Help us unload and get set up. Then you need to go talk to Jackie, she owns Puffin Cove Cafe, and Patsy, owner of Puffin Cove Ice Cream Sundae, the ice cream shop. Merry, the manager of the rescue is around here somewhere. She’ll need to be in the loop too. They’re working up a fundraiser to get the rescue back on its feet as soon as possible. Only—” Gwen put her finger to her lips. “Don’t tell them I said this, but they don’t have a clue. Pepper talked to them earlier.”
Trinity surveyed the smoldering building. One half was completely destroyed. The section still standing was heavily damaged by smoke and water. “It’s going to take a lot.”
“It’s not as bad as it looks right now. At least I hope not. Get a few big fans in here to dry out the wood. Electricians to check the wiring. Suspect it’ll all have to be replaced.” Gwen shook her head. “Anyway, the sooner we get the fundraiser planned the sooner the animals can return home. Between Salem Sanctuary and Lobster Cove Rescue, we have space, but we’ll both be close to capacity. If another disaster strikes it’ll be big trouble.”
Trinity pulled her bottom lip through her front teeth. “It’s been a long time since I’ve done a fundraiser. Don’t they have any foster care animal providers?” Lips pursed with hands on hips, she surveyed what was left of the rescue and the main street of the little town. “It’ll take a miracle, “ she said under her breath and jumped when her boss was quick to respond.
“A few animals have already been allocated to foster care individuals. That’s why I requested you and Paul to come to Puffin Cove.” Gwen slung an arm around her , squeezed and then let go. “My miracle workers.” Her boss brushed her hands together and looked pleased as punch. “Between you and Paul, with his connections in the construction industry, miracles are possible.”
“Speaking of my other miracle worker.” Gwen reached out and grabbed Paul’s arm as he limped by. “Take a load off. One more cart full and we’re done.”
He gave her a grateful look but soldiered on. “We need to get set up so Brock can evaluate the animals and decide where their new digs will be. His clinic is on standby should we be forced to transport them that far.”
“Good point.” Gwen opened her backpack and reached inside. “Brock wanted me to give you and Trinity a key to the cabin. We’re going be here late into the night.” She pulled out a key and handed it to him. She held up a sheet of paper. “These are the directions.” Gwen handed the paper to her.
With
the majestic Rocky Mountains just outside the window, I sit at my
computer with vampires,demons, witches, faeries, and a variety of
paranormal creatures gathered around telling me their stories! That
makes me an author of paranormal romance novels and cozy mysteries
with magic spark. The everyday world is mundane, but sprinkle a
little magic and you have fantastic!Colorado
is home. I share my life with a wonderful husband of many moons, our
brilliant Chow Chow, a terribly spoiled companion parrot, and a
forty-year-old box turtle. We enjoy hiking, biking, and camping, also
love water sports including kayaking and whitewater rafting,
especially on the Arkansas River through the Royal Gorge.Another
passion of mine is reading a good novel. You can find me any winter
evening curled up in front of a crackling fire with a good book, a
mug of hot chocolate, and a big bowl of popcorn. While growing up, if
I didn’t like the ending of a book, I’d rewrite it, which led to
writing my own books.Reluctantly,
I discovered that in real life it’s tough to rewrite an ending.
