Daylight Burning — Lisa M. Green

Leon has a drinking problem. He also has a money problem.  The two are unrelated. Leon's money just got up and walked right out the door. And he's about to be led on a wild goose chase. Hangovers are bad enough without having to chase down a thief, especially when the thief is this slippery. Someone is waiting on that money, and Leon definitely doesn't want to ruffle any feathers. He might have been gifted with Kinetic magic, but Leon's powers aren't going to help him this time. It's going to take all his wits and willpower to track down the culprit and avoid the wrath of his family. Drinking just might be the death of him. Daylight Burning is a prequel novelette in the Awakened series by Lisa M. Green.
