Umbra Magic: Andromeda Bochs Book 2

The monster in her soul wants total control, but the thunderbird who holds her heart won't let her give up without a desert showdown.

It's been six weeks since Andee Bochs consumed the magic of an Ancient and dropped his shriveled, thousand-year-old body at her feet. No matter that he'd tried to kill her first-her shadow magic terrifies her. She doesn't understand it, and she can't always control it. Even worse, the power comes from a monster in her soul who doesn't like his hostess.

When her friend Mac needs a bodyguard in the Texhoma Desert, Andee welcomes the distraction. Bonus, there are shadow mages there who can help her wield magic like a pro instead of a toddler with a light-up sword. But Andee's problems multiply in the desert, and the mages aren't helpful. A worried Mac calls in the man Andee prefers to avoid, Josiah Hightower.

Andee has declared the sexy thunderbird off limits but her body has other ideas, and she likes how it thinks. Josiah's magic is meant to battle her shadow monster. But he's vowed not to hurt her-because of principle or affection, Andee may never know, for the next time she loses control will be her last.
