On the run. Barely in control of his own magic. Falling for his domineering new boss.

Jude Corbyn has a problem. Several, in fact. He’s fled to the worst city in existence for one of his kind in a last-ditch attempt to escape the control of fellow fate manipulator Mervyn. He hardly dares to open his mouth for fear he’ll inadvertently manipulate fate. And he’s signed up for a job he despises.

The only thing about Jude’s life that isn’t a problem is his attraction to his new boss Hollis Ackerly. At least, it isn’t a problem until it is. Ackerly doesn’t like being kept out of the loop, whether Jude’s secrets are related to the case they’re working on at the Special Division of Investigation or not. He expects to be let into Jude’s business. But Jude isn’t fleeing the control of one man to end up under the thumb of another, even if he’s starting to want everything Ackerly could offer.

Protection. Security. Love? It sounds too good to be true, especially in the city of luck, where fate is the dirtiest word around.

First in the Felis MM fantasy novella series, with each installment featuring a new couple.
