Affliction Mine — C.J. Pinard

His hot head may leave them both cold-blooded.

At his cousin's pleading, Karson Kane returns to Havenwood Falls to help with his elven uncle, who's about to be released from supernatural prison. Karson has no idea what awaits him in the mysterious mountain town, but he feels strongly he's meant to go.

Within the first twenty-four hours, Karson's cousin gets thrown in jail, too, and Karson ends up in the ER, leaving him to think he may have made a mistake coming to the magical town. Until he meets Scottlin Glover. The gorgeous, auburn-haired breath of fresh air treats his injuries, but leaves him wanting more from her, as he can't seem to take his eyes off her.

Scottlin is very intrigued by the elven. Being only half human, she has ways to both heal and help, but she can't figure out how to help Karson when they realize there's something terribly wrong with him beyond the initial injury.

Karson begins to suspect that he has been lured to Havenwood Falls under false pretenses, but can't seem to find any answers. If he and Scottlin can't put their scorching attraction aside and heal Karson, the consequences will be more serious than they imagined -- and very permanent.
