"...even a Queen deserves love"

Well this is the first of the Seraphine Chronicles that I have read. OH BOY, have I been missing out. I am going to have to go back and read all of the others after reading this short story.

To'en, the Overseer, knows that Anistana, Queen of the Faeries, is his soul mate. But Anistana is stubborn and the safety of her land rests on her shoulders. The Fae Killer is killing faeries and Anistana feels it is her job to stop him. To'en is very persuasive with his magic touches and before Anistana knows it, her body is screaming for To'en. Anistana has a battle going on inside of her too, between love and duty. Will she ignore her duty to her land to follow the love in her heart for To'en?

I am amazed that so many of Cheyenne McCray's stories have slipped past me. This was and excellent written quickie that has me wanting more. I could feel the sexual vibes and magic bounce right off the page. I have found a new author that I know I am going to love reading.

Summary

Capricious, arrogant, and unabashedly sexual, Anistana has known many men. As Queen of Faerie, she believes only in power of station and in her magic. When her attempts fail at uniting her Realm with other kingdoms, she is convinced there is no man worthy of her attention, and certainly no man who is her equal.

To'en is a powerful Overseer, a shape-shifting guardian whose life spans centuries. He has enjoyed the pleasures of countless women, but has yet to find his heartmate...until the wickedly beguiling and passionate Faerie Queen crosses his path.
