Part of Series
Alec has been held prisoner for months, coerced into using his magic to manufacture illegal drugs for the mountain mafia. His gifts are profitable and dangerous, and his captors have no intention of letting him go. Alec engineers his escape—which lands him in the territory of a local legend—an ancient werewolf, a lone alpha cursed by silver and blood. Leif has been alone for a thousand years. Forced to keep his distance from his own people, Leif settles into the depths of the Appalachian Mountains and spends his endless days patrolling his territory. One night the forest is rattled by an explosion, and the sudden appearance of a bedraggled fae running for his life. Neither expected to come face to face with their fated mate in the cold, dark woods. Fate has a hand in uniting Alec and Leif—but it'll be up to them to forge the nascent mate bond between them, and Alec and Leif have a fight on their hands—the mafia wants Alec back, and the curse laid on Leif is out for blood. The expanded version of the FATED MATES Charity Anthology short story, set in the Infinite Arcana Universe by bestselling author Sheena Jolie (formerly SJ Himes.) Contains new content.
Authors
Sheena Jolie is the new name for bestselling author SJ Himes. New name, same great books. Sheena lives in MidCoast Maine with their two cats, Wolf and Silfur, close enough to the ocean to see seagulls harassing tourists. When not writing, Sheena is junk journaling, painting, reading, or cooking. Sheena writes urban and epic fantasy romance, and all their MCs are queer, and that's on purpose. Most of their works are under SJ Himes, but over the course of 2022, they'll be moved to Sheena Jolie. Twitter: @WriterSJHimes Tiktok: @sjhimes Instagram: @authorsjhimes
LOVE SPRINGS ETERNAL releases August 31st 2021. I will be moving all my titles over the course of 2022 to my new author name, Sheena Jolie. If you have questions for me, and want an answer sooner rather than later, find me on Facebook or Twitter. Social media links on my website, along with a FAQs page for the most common questions I get asked. Current writing cluster titles are available on my Works in Progress page at my website. www.sjhimes.com I also write as Revella Hawthorne. I write mainly gay romance and erotica, but I am branching out into polyamorous groupings and LGBT+ characters. Saving Silas is my only contemporary. Everything else is paranormal, urban fantasy, or scifi/alternate universe. I'm a nomad—I move a lot. My health is sporadic, so when I'm feeling well enough is when I'm writing. Which is good, as otherwise, I think my suffering translates to boring stories. ;) I've learned the hard way that I can't do release dates until a book is 100% DONE. No projected dates anymore. For up to date and accurate information, find me on Facebook and Twitter. I RARELY come to GR. It'll be months before I'm back again. Any books I have reviewed are my own opinions and done so without malice. I won't review a book anymore if I can't give it 3 stars or higher. Most of my reviews are based upon how a book makes me FEEL. Entirely subjective and personal. Exceptions are in cases of plagiarism and intellectual property theft or a massively horrible formatting job or erroneous content (ie the title and blurb don't match the interior.)
