Books by writing buddies.... Denise Rossetti

Wow, just finished Denise Rossetti's The Flame and The Shadow as my reward book. It is hawwwt (ie for those over 18) and has the most remarkable language and world-building. Book 1 of the Four-Sided Pentacle series, with Book 2 Thief of Light coming out in November. On my keeper pile!!


Here's the blurb:

There cannot be one...without the other.
   Some are drawn to the light. Some are drawn to the dark. Some desire both.

   Grayson of Concordia, known on countless worlds as the Duke of Ombra, is a mercenary, a sorcerer of shadows whose soul is consumed by darkness. For Gray, the savagery in his heart is manifest in an entity he calls Shad. He has long resisted Shad's enticements, but when he's hired to kidnap a grieving fire witch, he seizes the chance to restore his soul—no matter the cost.
   Devastated by a shattering loss, Cenda's fiery heart has turned to ash. Doggedly, she has worked to master her powers and go on living, knowing she can never be whole again. When she encounters Gray, though, her will is no match for the dark fascination he exerts. But Cenda's newfound love and passion may not survive the terrible discovery of his betrayal...

Now to select the next reward book....
