Fire & Ice — Kit Fawkes

Everything North Campbell believes about her life is a lie. She doesn't discover that until the night her father dies, and she learns he wasn't her father. He kidnapped her as a baby from her birth parents, Jim and Carol Allis. They seem ecstatic to find her, but she quickly learns they have nefarious plans for her, along with their ally, a powerful dragon-shifter named Pytor Douglas. She runs straight into the arms of another mysterious group, and they tell her she's a Trueblood-descended from all the mythic races and capable of great power. She's at risk, but the Council assigns her six bodyguards, and the Oracle has seen her future husband is among the six. North is dragged from realm to realm to learn how to use her powers. That task seems impossible-almost as impossible as choosing just one man from among the six mythics entrusted with her protection. How can she choose between a vampire, an angel, a demon, a witch, a dark elf, and a wolf-shifter when each of the men is perfect for her in different ways? Dare she risk everything and choose them all? Will she have a chance to make the decision, or will Pytor's group get her first?This is the second in a multi-book series that will require reading in order to understand the plot arc. "Fire & ice" has an incomplete ending. The story will continue in the next book and so on. It is a PNR reverse harem story, and the heat factor will be high (eventually).
