Book One: What happens when you know your power, but no one else can?

**Excerpt:

“Pretty leenns…” I tapped her cheek a bit and decided to ignore the stares. She was too cute for me to be distracted.

Then there was that scent again. This time I couldn’t hold back my urge to look. I cleared my throat and looked up. It was Mason’s brother. The man had short black hair that was intentionally unkept. It attached to a clean-cut beard that framed his chiseled cheekbones too well. His grey suit covered what I assumed to be lots and lots of muscles due to the strain pressing against the fabric from every angle. “My daughter has taken a liking to you?” He seemed to think this was funny as his grin pretty much said it all.

I opened my mouth, and nothing came out. I didn’t know what to say and his voice was like warm coffee on a rainy day. I guess whiskey and coffee are going together with him further than whiskey and brandy. “Dadddyyyyy, pretty leeennss” She giggled and smiled up at him as she tried to say, ‘pretty lines.’ She pulled my hand towards his chest. “See?”

She smiles and he grins back at her. I finally snapped out of it and looked down at his daughter. “Well, I have taken to her. She is adorable, but I do have to run. The set is about to be up. Don’t want to keep anyone waiting.” I rose to my feet not looking at him. Doing my best to never look him in the eye. She squealed like she was having the best time and I handed her over to him. “Goodbye.” **
