Breathless (The Carnal Court)

The fate of faery is in my hands, if it doesn't kill me first.

Kari Taylor barely managed to save her best friend from a brutal death at the hands of her enemies. Though they escaped unharmed, they were not unscathed. Her captive mate is still bound to her tormentor, and the fate of all faery rests on Kari's shoulders.

But the past has come back to haunt them. Kari's human lover has been accused of crimes against the fae, and those charging him are hell-bent on making him suffer. The fae have long memories, and remorse matters little to them. Especially when it's only the life of one fragile, insignificant human. Revenge will do just fine.

Danger closing in from every direction, there is only one choice: petition the goddess of faery to save Kent's life, even if he might die in the process. With the heart of faery crumbling and her lover's life hanging in the balance, Kari must decide whether to gamble on faith, or face the darkness that's determined to take her life.
