BLOOD DESTINY SERIES

BLURBS:
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
After
escaping the claws of Corrigan, the Lord Alpha of the Brethren, Mack is trying
to lead a quiet lonely life in Inverness in rural Scotland, away from anyone
who might happen to be a shapeshifter. However, when she lands a job at an old
bookstore owned by a mysterious elderly woman who not only has a familiar
passion for herbal lore but also seems to know more than she should, Mack ends
up caught in a maelstrom between the Ministry of Mages, the Fae and the
Brethren.
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.

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.
