RENEGADE MAGIC: Three Complete Novellas

As teenagers, friends Luke, Tom, and Rico were constantly in trouble with the law. Now they're all grown up and determined to defeat a powerful shaman who can destroy the way of life in Sena Pueblo.

In their high desert community, the old beliefs have never died. And when witchcraft can be the only explanation for murder, these three former renegades must step up to save their people and the women they love.

Part 1: Luke

In the first novella of the series, Luke Cordova is devastated when the man who saved him from life as an outcast is murdered. He's determined to find out who killed his uncle Joe Cordova. At first he will accept no help from Ashley Donaldson, a woman who was born on the pueblo and came back to find her roots. But she's just as strong willed as Luke and just as beholding to Joe, and when the two of them unite to track a killer with magic powers, the heat that's been smoldering between ignites into flames.

Part 2: Tom

Convinced unjust treatment under the law is a greater danger to his pueblo than anything supernatural, Tom Lahi refuses to believe in rituals and magic, instead becoming a warrior in the courtroom. But only when he learns to embrace the power of his heritage can he truly help his people and find love.

Part 3: Rico

Though he sells Pueblo art in his Santa Fe gallery, Rico Tafoya abandoned the mystical beliefs of his heritage, an obstacle in his relationship with artist Charlotte Reyna, who is drawn to the old ways. Meditation pulls Charlotte straight into her paintings where she senses the witch who murdered Joe following her. Rico's disbelief makes Charlotte fear they will never mesh. Terrified of losing her when she is in a dangerous trance, Rico forces his mind to follow...but is he in time to save their people and claim Charlotte's heart?
