Maelstrom Book V Of The Winter Fire Series

As the battle between Bren and Loki rages, Jenna finds herself powerless to stop their fury from spinning into a force more destructive and deadly than anyone - human or god - could have foreseen. Now, in a race to keep the danger from swallowing up their world, they must descend into an abyss of space and time, where each new revelation rolls into a deeper mystery.

"I should have seen Bren for what he was right away." A rebel god, hiding out in the snowswept mountains of Pennsylvania. "Loki stood before the flames in a black leather jacket and tattered jeans…the son of the Grim Reaper." A captivating hellion who threatens their secret. When Jenna becomes the center of a clash between Asgard's most powerful gods, she is forced to give in to the darkness that stalks her, or lose what she loves most. After her parents' divorce, Jenna and her mother find shelter in the frozen world of Yew Dales Resort, where Jenna meets Bren Bergan, a mysterious snowboarder who, while proving elusive, seems to show up at all the wrong times. Intrigued, and anxious to escape the gloom of her own life, Jenna begins to notice the strangeness that surrounds Bren. Hills rise and fall beneath his board, trees sway as he passes, and time seems to shrink and stretch at his silent command. As she searches for answers, Jenna learns that Bren is an expatriate Norse god who has escaped his home in Asgard in order to break a cycle of destruction that threatens both of their worlds. When Loki, hypnotic master of chaos, arrives from Asgard seeking to bring Bren home, he discovers Jenna as well, and intrigue turns to danger as she becomes the object of a fateful struggle.

"A strong man doesn't have to be dominant toward a woman. He doesn't match his strength against a woman weak with love for him. He matches it against the world." -Marilyn Monroe This trilogy of steamy dragon shifter romance includes books 3- 5 in the Dragon Kings of Fire and Ice series: - Rebuilding his Dragon Kingdom - The Heir of Winter - The Dragon's True Mate Praise for the series: "Wow I got so caught up in this book, I couldn't put it down. My heart filled with joy and pain for both brothers and sisters. I really would like to see what happened to the kidnappers and if that might be another book in of it's self. Courage is a mighty thing we can have control of." "I just love the series. This one had me on the edge of my seat. I just couldn't read it fast enough. The pain that Damon had to endure at the hands of his father and having to rebuild his kingdom hurt my heart. I loved that this sassy Cass swooped in and saved the day. I loved the romance and the heat of their lives from the moment they met."
