“Hey, now.” He swiped a tear from her cheek. “This is a happy thing, right?”
“Sorry. I cry when I’m emotional. Doesn’t matter what kind of emotion it is.”
He let out a relieved sigh. “Good. I was worried. Thought I’d done something wrong.”
“Oh, no, Mr. Invincible. You’ve done everything right.” She laid a hand over his heart. “You make me feel treasured, but not helpless. Part of a team.”
“You are part of a team.” He rested his forehead against hers. “And together, we can do anything.”
“Make all our dreams come true, huh?” She smiled. “Well, we already changed the world. What’s next?”
He scooped her into his arms and carried her to the bed. “You’re the Seer. You tell me.”
She whispered into his ear as he lowered her to the mattress.
“Well, princess,” he growled as she tugged at his clothing. “I think we can make that dream come true. For the rest of our lives.”

PRAISE FOR PRODIGAL SON
“Mullins weaves a believable, spicy tapestry of love, intrigue, and family ties in this splendid paranormal romance. Well-paced and tightly plotted, this enthralling page-turner matches a strong yet vulnerable heroine with a flawed alpha male to create a deliciously engrossing story. Suspense and romance are wrapped together in such a way that neither overwhelms the other—and they combine beautifully with intriguing secondary characters, sensual passion, and powerful themes of trust and loyalty.”
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Debra Mullins opens up a whole new universe as she takes you on an emotional roller-coaster ride into sexy adventure. The world isn’t what you thought. You won’t put it down.”
—Susan Squires, New York Times bestselling author
“Historical romance favorite Mullins successfully jumps into the paranormal realm with the launch of a new series featuring the psychically gifted descendants of Atlantis. Mullins introduces a number of intriguing characters and reveals the first layer of complexity in her alternate reality that features Channelers, Warriors, and Seers. Mullins is off to a great start!”
—RT Book Reviews
PRAISE FOR HEART OF STONE
“A highly imaginative and fun read.”
—Booklist
“The war between psychically gifted descendants of Atlantis is getting more vicious in the second installment of Mullins’s Truthseers saga.… Mullins continues to flesh out her engaging alternate reality with high-stakes action and shocking revelations that force her characters to reevaluate all they believe.”
—RT Book Reviews
“A fascinating blend of mythos and plot, the novel builds on the strengths of the first book and also stands strong on its own merits.”
—Publishers Weekly
“I was instantly immersed in this story and read the entire novel that day!… To my delight, this was not a clichéd romance novel. This is a wonderful and believable story of a woman who lives by her morals and her strength. This is also a story of a man and a woman who find themselves bound by trust, family, and mutual attraction. This was an exciting and suspenseful adventure that I couldn’t put down!”
—The Nameless Zine
