Erotic Fantasy Romance - Short Story

Callie has little choice but to steal a stone from the Warren, the wizard’s stronghold.  But before she can carry out her mission, three men arrive and thwart her plans.  She knows she should be concentrating on how to get the stone away from them, but Callie’s attention is drawn to the tallest of the three men.  Handsome and muscular, the man the others call Raine commands her attention, and stirs her lust.  For her own safety though, Callie must retrieve the stone, and she follows the men after they leave with it.  When she finally does lay her hands on it, escape isn’t possible, because Raine has found her.

When Raine tries to stop the thief from stealing the wizard’s binding stone, it begins to glow, shocking Raine.  The purpose of the stone is to bind a wizard to his source, and if it’s glowing, then Raine has found his source.  Except Raine has already been bound once, and a wizard should only have one source in his lifetime; how is it possible that he could have another?  Much as he’d like to ignore what’s happening, the pull of the stone is strong, and Raine’s desire for the thief is impossible to resist. 

In WIZARD’S THIEF, magic may have bound them together, and the attraction between them may burn out of control, but can two strangers hope to have a life together?  Callie’s experiences with males have been harsh and have taught her to guard herself well, while Raine’s previous experience with a source brought him heartache and loss.  Yet Raine needs Callie for more than just the magic, and with a threat looming on the horizon they will have to work things out fast. 

A passionate and entertaining tale, check out WIZARD’S THIEF.
