Real Magic [Sequel to Captive Hearts]

The Guardian: Railing against the gods won't do her any good, but it might make Jelena feel better. Why would they give her protection to a murderer--an assassin? She is to use all her magic as a Guardian to protect Drake Durand's life, worthless though she believes it to be. Never before has she done less than her duty--she won't start now. The Magician: Drake Durand, known in some circles as The Magician, is bent on revenge. He has found all those who participated in his best friend's torture--except one. Nothing will stop him from obtaining his goal, not even a sexy little witch who claims to practice real magic. Everyone knows that Guardians are mere legends. Or are they? Real Magic: Their uneasy alliance leads them to a world of magic, both practiced and perceived. But which is the real magic--the power to work spells or love? [Cover art Dirk A. Wolf]
