The GateKeepers, #2 What happens when a warrior woman meets her match? Harpy Kalindra stumbles upon three human corpses who've mysteriously crossed from Earth into Outremer through the portal she guards. A human prisoner with two traveling vampires seems her only clue. She captures the man, and brings him back to her lair to discover the truth–not only why he came to Outremer, but how he got past the defenses of the gate. She expects answers. What she doesn't expect is the intense attraction she feels for him. . .attraction he seems to share. Cameron has a secret.

He can't resist his attraction to her human form, and before long he's feeling more than simple lust for her. Kalindra's gateway comes under constant attack from creatures who want what Cameron has. The assaults are his fault, but he can't hand over the shard, which is a family legacy. He must convince Kalindra he can help defend the gate. . .but how?36,000 Words
