Notorious: Forever After Dark. Shifters Forever Worlds, #33

Circe Brazos is notorious. Notoriously hard. Notoriously bad ass. Notoriously alone. And she's damned happy that way. Don't give her any complications in her black and white world. Circe's a shifter elemental hybrid. One of the very few who exist. Too often these hybrids do not make it to adulthood. The fact that she and her siblings did has made them uniquely qualified to run the Order of Elementals-a secret group designed to assist elementals, particularly those who share a host with a shifter.
Long ago, Circe kicked Mae Forrester out of her life. Now Mae's back, and Circe has to deal with the reasons Mae left. As if that's not bad enough, a gorgeous hunk of a shifter shows up on her doorstep with a little girl hybrid who desperately needs Circe's help. Except, Circe didn't know at the end of the day who needed help more-herself or the young hybrid. Lincoln Avila has a damned good reason for hating elementals.
They've torn everything in his life apart. Now he has to deal with the fact that his niece, his ward, is a hybrid. Thought that was bad, did you, Linc? Here's bad, for real. Don't fall in love with Circe, the hybrid elemental bad ass who has no fondness for gray areas or men. The beautiful, notorious, curvy hybrid has found a way to wrap herself around his heart. Convincing her to let love win won't necessarily be easy.
That's okay, Linc's up for a challenge. He just has no idea the challenge could lead to life or death-his own.
