Ophelia Bell

I’m the female heir to LA’s underground empire, which makes love a liability. But there are two men I won’t give up … no matter the cost.

One is my first love, a man my ruthless father had beaten more than a decade ago for daring to touch me. He’s back in town and those feelings have been rekindled with a vengeance.

The other is my bodyguard, a man who would take a bullet for me, and nearly dies trying to do just that.

Daring to bring us together for one explosive night of passion puts all three of our lives on a collision course with one of the most deadly Mexican cartels. For some reason my father’s oldest enemy is after me, and uncovering my family’s dark secrets might be the only way to protect the men I love.

After discovering her own witch powers while saving Richard from a wolf attack—only to be met with his horror and rejection—Linda devises a dangerous plan: she will impersonate the Erlking’s Daughter, a demon from the forest, and attack the church with green-fire fireworks, uniting the town against a common enemy.
