Every ten years, the gods choose a paranormal being who has been unjustly killed and offers them a second chance at life. The catch? They must take a mate, and they only have three days to do it.
Oh, and they can only choose once. If the person they choose for a mate rejects them – it’s straight back to paranormal purgatory.
Fortunately for me, I, Quinnlan Trinity, am the chosen one.
Unfortunately for me, the trickster gods must have gotten into the mix because they drop me at an abandoned motel in the middle of nowheresville with three days’ worth of clothing, sans underwear, and a wad of cash. Seriously?
I’ve got two days left when I find a guy bleeding out, thanks to a suspicious group of wolf shifters. I could save him, but if I do, that means choosing him as my mate and risking rejection. Is he the one? Or, by saving him, am I dooming myself to a trip back to the afterlife?

Linda Burson, a native of Pennsylvania, but long time Connecticut resident, has been writing ever since she was given a writing assignment in school, at the age of eight. Later, as a teenager, she started out writing memoirs and attempted several nonfiction pieces.
After attending college studying English, Psychology, and Business Law, Linda worked in positions where she wrote and edited papers for others. She spent time pursuing other interests, and traveling. Much of Linda’s free time was spent reading mysteries, romance, and women’s contemporary fiction novels.
After several attempts at writing nonfiction, but having life get in the way, she put her passion on hold again. She gave up writing to focus on raising her daughters, being a wife, running her own businesses and taking care of her dog, a Lhasa Apso named Nathan.
After a serious bout of breast cancer, Linda eventually closed her business after fifteen years. She decided it was time to attempt writing again. This time, however, with nothing to distract her, she decided on tackling fiction, a contemporary, commercial romance with a dark edge.
On January 1, 2013, she sat down with her laptop and started writing the first chapter. After a few more chapters, she realized the story wasn’t near complete. Before she was aware of it, her idea of a single book turned into a trilogy, which turned into a much longer series called the MARCY SERIES. There are a total of thirteen books in the series. Most of the series were published by a small publishing house. After the publishing house closed, Linda re-edited the series, gave the novels new covers, and self-published them.
When asked about inspiration, Linda has this to say: “Nobody really inspired me to write, but I do remember my mother and father always saying ‘anything you put your mind to you can accomplish. Don’t ever let anyone tell you, you can’t do something.’ Having the support and encouragement of my family is also important.”
Linda has also published a standalone murder mystery novel entitled, Murder Among Friends, a romantic suspense novel called, The Colors of my Life, and a short story as a part of a five-story anthology with other authors called Where There’s Murder, There’s Mystery. Her story is entitled, Lies Aren’t Forever. Another Romantic suspense called The Kidnapping has also just been self-published.

I’m not the nicest person in the world, I’ve cultivated that world view. I’m a man’s man, full of testosterone and with the balls to prove it.
I’ve spent years kidding everyone as to who I am, hiding the parts of me I’m ashamed of.
I didn’t expect my nemesis to raise her head and step back into my life with the intention of destroying everything I’d so carefully crafted around me.
I thought we were over, done and finished, but she had different ideas. I’m no more able to protect myself now than I’ve been in the past.

Evan’s one advantage is that in Stellaluna, he can learn anyone else’s magic, but he has to find someone to teach him. There is no knight school for apprentice wizards, so he’ll have to get creative. Perhaps he can strike a deal. Deals with elves always work out well, right?It’s a magical romp across the realm with mischievous sprites, devious elves, and a crazy old wizard who’s a few ants short of a picnic.
