    About this ebook

    The Dark Crescent Sisterhood #4
    As Sybils—protector warrior “witches”—they control the Elements…But passion is a force that no one can contain.
    Captive to temptation, bound by desire…
    Even Bela Argos, a well-trained Sybil who must harness all of the magic of her warrior sisters, has found the new wave of supernatural attacks to be challenging. And on top of that, she is dealing with Duncan Sharp, the frustratingly sexy NYPD detective who has a small problem—he might,/i> into a demon in the middle of the night and consume Bela while she sleeps. But even the dark energy that fills Duncan can’t hamper the fiery attraction that Bela feels.
    The demon on Duncan’s back is the soul of a suspected serial killer. Even worse than his “hitchhiker” is the demonic fever that is threating to take over his body completely and overpower Bela in its wake.
    His only course is to get even with the demons who cursed his blood before it consumes Duncan’s soul, the city he’s trying so hard to protect, and the woman who has stolen his heart.
    “Fan favorite Windsor returns with a new trilogy set in the same universe as her Bound series. The world of the Dark Crescent Sisterhood remains troubled and a new threat is rising. The main characters here were secondary players in the previous books, and fans will be delighted by the update on former headliners. Windsor’s heroines are once again kicking butt and taking names, all for our enjoyment!” -RT Book Review

    Anna Windsor

    I'm finally living my lifelong dream of loving all my jobs. I still work in psychology, I farm, I write—and I have a blast. I'm southern by birth, and I've lived in the south most of my life. My foothill farm is beautiful, and I couldn't ask for a better place to live or write. I find inspiration, peace, joy, and beauty in my family, my home, the woods, and the love of all my many animals. And I do have a lot of animals. I mean, a lot. Dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, peafowl, guineas, ducks, geese, and oh, yeah—a parrot. Urban fantasy, high fantasy, futuristic science fiction, and historical fantasy are my favorite genres to write or to read. I write almost every day, and I try to finish at least one manuscript every few months. I also try to dedicate a few hours to playing my guitar and piano, photography, playing video games, watching old movies, and walking. I'm thrilled to be able to write, and thrilled that readers enjoy my stories.
