In Betwixt and Between, Ian and Zeke fought a battle against the queen of the dark realm in order to be together. Now, just when they think they might settle into as normal a life as elves living among humans might be able to expect, a new enemy threatens to tear them apart. While Zeke helps the shaman Alistair in his hunt for an elusive mermaid, Ian is called to confront a wicked nymph preying on tourists along Seattle's waterfront. Zeke and Ian soon discover that the defeated Queen Ysolde has spread her evil into the sea realms, and danger lurks beneath every wave. But it's too late to stop an escalating series of confrontations that lead to disappearances, death and the possible end of light in this world.
As Ysolde plots revenge and a mysterious prince seeks to win Ian for himself, the ancient war between light and dark sweeps Ian and Zeke into its maelstrom of hate, testing their trust for each other to the utmost.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT
The image of mermaids passed down in lore
was mostly mythical, a combination of wishful thinking and the faulty memories
of drunken seamen. Although human in general shape and form above the waist,
once out of the water and free from the seductive enchantment she’d woven
around herself, Mellosa could never be mistaken for human. Her eyes were huge,
mouth wide and full of sharp teeth, including incisors that would put any
vampire to shame. Her hair wasn’t really hair but a living, breathing part of
her, more akin to fronds or feathery tentacles then the dead strands that
covered a human’s head.
Her fingers were webbed, and fins sprouted
from her shoulders and biceps. Still, as she drummed her fingers against the
gunwale, it was easy to see how a lonely man or woman might become entranced by
her.
“Why have you called me from my hunting?”
she asked, speaking directly to Zeke in a high, almost screechy voice. Gills
along her long neck fluttered softly.
Alistair sank slowly to the bench.
“Mellosa, my love, don’t you remember me?”
“Of course I remember you, smelly old man.” The way she emphasized man made it clear she considered the
word an insult. “We of the Sea never forget.”

Reporter Ian Evers, obsessed with magical creatures since childhood, never experiences satisfying proof that the magical realm actually exists until he falls into an entrapment spell set by a handsome but dangerous elf. Barely escaping with his soul intact, Ian is able to undo the hex, but he can't escape the very real infatuation he's developed for the fierce, alluring elf.
Ezekiel Stormshadow is a svarta, a dark elf who serves the queen of the dark realm. The realm of darkness needs the power of light to survive, and while hunting the last few magical beings on earth, Ezekiel discovers Ian, a light elf who's unaware of his true nature and ripe for the plucking. Their brief encounter awakens a great hunger in Ezekiel, and he's determined to feast on the light elf's power and body before the queen intervenes and claims Ian for herself.
Ian knows only he can save Ezekiel from the grasp of the dark queen. Driven apart by the ancient imbalance between the dark and light realms, an evil queen starved for power, and their fear of each other, Ian and Ezekiel are relentlessly drawn together even though their union might destroy them both.
