I love Torin St. James...
I need his strength…
But someone from his past wants me dead.

Raine Cooper is certain of two things: her love for Torin St. James and her destiny to be a powerful seeress. But when she starts having premonitions, they are unclear and disturbing. Worse, they involve Torin. With her mother gone, her father dying, and her best friend in Hel, she is not sure who to talk to.

But when the visions become more personal and she foresees her future with Torin threatened by someone from his past, Raine becomes desperate for answers. Just her luck two new students arrive at her school and they seem to have answers. When with them, her powers are enhanced and her visions become clear. There is only one problem: Torin forbids Raine to see the two girls.

Can their love survive without trust?

EXCERPT FROM Seeress:

Torin leaned against the bike and pulled me into his arms. I wrapped my arms around his waist and tried to enjoy the moment, but the vision I’d seen came back to haunt me. I lifted my head and studied his face. “Would you visit a Seeress if something happened to me and I disappeared, and you didn’t know where to look?”

He stiffened. “What?”

“If something bad happened to me—”

“That’s not funny.” He glowered.

“It’s a hypothetical situation, Torin.”

“I don’t care. Don’t say that.”

I sighed. “Okay, I won’t. But would you visit a Seeress to see the future if a friend was missing and you didn’t know where she was or whether she’s coming back home?”

“Why is my friend a she? I don’t have she-friends except you.”

I wanted to deck him. He could be so impossible sometimes. “If a he-friend was sick, would you visit a Seeress to get some answers,” I said through clenched teeth.

“Nope.” He smirked, confirming he was messing with me.

I wiggled out of his arms and gave him you’d-better-answer-me-truthfully-or-else glare. “Why not?”

“I don’t like witches.”

My jaw dropped. “How can you say that? I happen to be one. A Seeress.”

“Until we confirm your first vision, you,” he stroked my nose, “are just a glorified Immortal and… my girlfriend.”

I punched his arm. Hard. “Jerk.”

“Witch.”

I reached for him, but he engaged his runes and slipped past me. Then he had the nerve to laugh. There was only one truck left in the parking lot, so I figured no one could see us. I engaged my runes and went after him. I tackled him, or he allowed me to catch him and we landed on the snow. We rolled a bit until I pinned him down. I had snow on my hair. I shook it, spraying him.

“Cut that out,” he growled, a playful light in his eyes.

“What do you have against witches?” I asked.

He cushioned his head on his arms and smirked. “The ones I knew growing up were horrible.”

“What did they do to you?”

He pulled me down for a kiss and the conversation was forgotten, until I became aware of cold and wetness on my knees. Torin’s pants had to be wet too.

“Let’s take this home,” I whispered.

“I like it when you lust after me.”
