Synopsis:
It's hard to hide when the forbidden magic you wield is written on your skin...
"Skin witch" Mikkie Locke has spent her life running; running from her past, running from hunters, and running from a destiny she doesn't want. And when you're a Taroe working in an "in plain sight" magic shop, that's easier said than done. Every day she's away from the protection of her tribe is a day she's risking death. The enchanted tattoos that cover her body are a constant reminder of who and what she is are a beacon to her enemies that scream "KILL ME!" to those who hunt her and other nonhumans; other creatures of the mythos community.
And the danger has just become more severe.
A new group of anti-mythos hunters have come to town, and she knows that the time has come once again to run. But Mikkie is tired of running, and between her anger, her assets, and the small team of four strong, sexy men who have her back, she's beginning to think she might have a chance.
But in an ever-changing world, this breed of hunter has decided to make changes of their own. The stage is set for a war, and there's more on the line than their lives...

Raith was drunk, but his kiss wasn't; it seemed to have been frozen, kept away in a deep, dark place just in case he'd ever get a chance to take it back out and deliver it to the person he'd been saving it for.
Even if I'm not that person, I can be, Mikkie thought. He needs me to be her so badly. Damn me, Mark was right; this is what he needed...
The kiss deepened, unlike any she'd ever felt. She loved her boys, and her boys loved her; she knew their kisses well, but she'd never felt one like this.
Because it's not yours! she scolded herself. You're stealing this one; this is wrong!
Wrong, sure, but it was also nice, and it was a nice thing to do...
Wasn't it?
"Please, Nikki," Raith whimpered, nearly crying, against her mouth, "don't leave me again..."
This was a plea that she was desperate to answer. She looked into his eyes, feeling his desire, feeling all the sadness and passion filled in this beautiful broken man, and she realized two very important things:
She couldn't deny Raith...
