Blood and Magic — Lauren Dane

Rowan Summerwaite is many things. She knows how to land a punch but has learned there's more than one way to solve a problem. She was once a loner, but the family she's made over the years -- including her husband, Clive,the Vampire Scion of North America -- mean more to her than she could have ever imagined.

And, with the gifts bestowed upon her from the Goddess Brigid growing stronger with every passing moment, she's more powerful than ever before.

It's a good thing, too, because she'll need every bit of her wits, her family, and her emerging powers as she confronts a new threat facing the Conclave of witches and the Vampire Nation. A threat that will pit Rowan and her friends against the most powerful -- and dangerous -- families within the magical Senate.

While Rowan Summerwaite may be many things, trusting is not usually one of them. But that's exactly what she'll need to do -- trust others and, most of all, trust herself -- to keep those she loves safe from harm one more time.
