“Preferably one wearing clothes!” Phil called as they left the room. Then she turned back to Cass. “Phew. I guess everything worked out after all.”
“Just barely. And thanks to Jake.” Cass squeezed her new fiancée’s hand and smiled.
Jake smiled back at her.
“I hate to kiss and run but there is much I need to take care of back in the Realm, darling.”
“Okay, go. Just don’t stay gone too lone.” Cass kissed him and watched him poof into a puff of navy blue smoke. “Wow…” She leaned back against the couch. “I feel like I’m dreaming—somebody pinch me!”
“You’re not dreaming—you’re just in love.” Rory spoke quietly, her eyes downcast and Cass immediately felt bad.
“Come here, Rory.” She put an arm around her little sister and Phil came and put an arm around Rory from the other side.
“You’re going to get through this,” she told Rory. “Everything is going to be okay.”
“Oh, I know it is.” Rory nodded calmly and Cass couldn’t suppress a frown. Could it be that her little sister was too calm? Had she really given up on the man she’d been infatuated with so quickly?
“Rory,” she said, “Are you sure you’re all right?”
“I will be—as long as my next birthday wish doesn’t get screwed up.” Rory looked at both of them appealingly. “Can you guys help me think of something that won’t ruin my life?”
“Of course!” Phil hugged her. “That’s what sisters are for.”
“Exactly.” Cass hugged her too but something about Rory still troubled her. Was her little sister really over Daegan?
She has to be, she told herself firmly. Because Jake said he’s a dangerous killer. So we can never, ever let him anywhere near Rory again.
Promising herself to keep her little sister safe, she squeezed Rory and Phil tight. The Swann sisters were together again and Cass was determined that nothing would drag them apart—not even wild horses that were able to turn into charming, dangerous, magical men.

She had been writing erotic fiction for her own gratification for a number of years before it occurred to her to try and get paid for it.
