His Sacred Incantations

An Illicit Desire Lucían left behind his cloister, his vows, and his self-denial when he joined Glory, first for a quest and then in her bed. He tells himself he should be happy, but when he looks at her strong arms, her sharp smile, and her smooth dominance, he wants--something he cannot yet name... A Deadly Foe A fatal threat lurks in the mountains above Granite Falls, attacking travelers with fangs and claws and a horrible curse. Lucían and Glory seek the cause, and he can't help wondering why it all seems so familiar, and why his dreams are full of cold stone and an evil presence... A Perilous Mission As their investigation proceeds, Lucían finds himself once more embroiled in an adventure he wasn't expecting, one full of dark magic and ghosts from his past. Haunted by what he can't change, Lucían makes a solemn vow: He'll end this, once and for all, or die trying...

A Secret Desire Lucían left behind his cloister, his vows, and his self-denial when he joined Glory, first for a quest and then in her bed. He tells himself he should be happy, but when he looks at her strong arms, her sharp smile, and her easy dominance, he wants, wants something he can't put a name to... A Deadly Foe Something dangerous lurks in the mountains above Granite Falls, something with fangs and claws and a horrible curse. No one has yet found the cause, and Lucían can't help wondering why it all seems so familiar, and why his dreams are full of cold stone and dark magic... A Dangerous Mission When the source of the attacks turns out to be something from Lucían's past, he finds himself once more embroiled in an adventure he wasn't expecting. He'll end this, once and for all, or die trying... But his friends from the Warrior's Guild won't let him do it alone!

A Sheltered Monk By day, Lucían brews potions and illuminates manuscripts in service to the monastery that took him in as a child, wielding magic based in his faith and his purity. By night, he dreams of the world outside the cloister--a world he knows only in books and scrolls... A Mysterious Warrior A mercenary known as the She-Wolf hunts for a shipment of stolen manuscripts. When she needs a mage to track them down, she chooses Lucían for both his adorable blushes and his magic. She purchases his contract, hurling him headfirst into an adventure that will test both his skills and his self-control... A Sacred Vow Inexorably drawn to the She-Wolf's strength, surprising kindness, and heated touches, Lucían fights temptation at every turn. His holy magic is both vital to their mission and dependent upon his purity. How can he serve both her and the Lord if he gives in to his desire? As intrigue and danger forces them closer, how can he possibly resist?
