Book Description:
The Hunted Wizard
When Nicole dabbled in the occult, she lost it all: Her voice, her family, and her name. Now on the run from the Inquisition, she must prove to herself—and the world—that not all wizards are too dangerous to let live.
The savage murder of a bookstore employee throws Nicole into the middle of Inquisition business, like it or not. Driven by her inability to save the young man’s life, she decides to hunt the killer on her own. Using forbidden magic to investigate the past, she learns that the murderer is in fact a disease that could kill the entire werewolf race.
Forced to choose between saving lives and preserving her own, Nicole embraces the magic that sent her into exile. Without werewolves, the power of the Inquisition would dwindle, and she could live without being hunted.
Nicole’s only hope for success lies in the hands of the werewolves she hates and the Inquisition she fears, but finding someone to trust is only the beginning of her problems. There are those who want to ensure that the werewolves go extinct and that the Inquisition falls.
But, if she fails to find a cure, her family—including her twin sister—will perish…

EXCERPT
I
slammed my car’s door, spun on a heel, and swore I would have a perfectly
normal visit to the mall. All I needed was one little book. Even I could walk
into a bookstore, pick up a novel, and leave without causing any trouble.
This
time, I wouldn’t blow out the lights. There wouldn’t be a single power surge. I
wouldn’t turn on every unplugged device in the electronics store on my way
across the mall. In the ten minutes it would take me to get in and out, the
only thing anyone would notice about me was the fact that I wore a
high-collared sweater in late summer. I had a mission, and I would complete it
without fail. The novel my agent insisted I read would be mine.
For a
long moment, I considered turning around and getting back into my car. Dominic
would forgive me if I didn’t start reading the book until tomorrow. I could
call in a favor and ask someone to pick up a copy for me. Then I definitely
wouldn’t run any risk of blowing anything up. If I had been smart, I would’ve
just ordered the damned thing on the internet, but I had waited too long.
Fishing
my cell out of my pocket, I unlocked the screen with a swipe of my finger. The
charging icon mocked me. Despite running every battery-draining app I could
find, the battery held a full charge. I opened another app, a devilish program
capable of killing the battery in ten minutes. It wouldn’t, not with me around,
but if I was too busy keeping my phone topped up, maybe my mall shopping trip
would prove to be mundane.
I shook
my head, laughing at my foolishness.
No
one would notice my phone. No one would notice me for more than a second.
They’d notice my clothes, and then they’d file me away as yet another weirdo
wearing something strange to catch attention. L.A. was full of people like
that.
I had
no reason to worry. Even if I managed to embarrass myself yet again by losing
control of my powers, no one would know I was the cause of unplugged
electronics turning on or unusual power surges.
Straightening
my shoulders, I fixed my eyes on the line of glass doors and marched my way
across the parking lot.
In
and out. No blown lights. No power surges. No feeding power to unplugged
electrical devices. No charging batteries for strangers. I was in control, and
I would charge only my phone.
Making
my way to the entry, I paused long enough to hold the door for a little old
lady who insisted on making her way through the regular doors despite her
walker. I couldn’t blame her. If I lived to be her age, I wouldn’t want to rely
on automatic doors either.
She
thanked me with a pat on the arm. Flashing her my best smile, I slipped inside.
Nothing
happened.
Perfect.
I
could handle ten minutes in the crowded corridors. Maybe if I told myself that
enough times, I’d believe it.

warrior fish.
In her spare
time, she daydreams about being a spy. Should that fail, her contingency plan
