Fire Trap

In love with one twin, bonded by fire to the other. Welcome back to Arcturus Academy.

I survived my first semester, but it's not getting easier. I adore Gage, so why do I share a mage-bond with Ryan, a bully who keeps trying to blackmail me and might get both of us killed? He's like a hydra. Whenever I defuse one plot, another springs up in its place. How long can this go on before he gets what he wants?

Fire Trap is the second book in the Arcturus Academy YA fantasy series.

Excerpt:

He nodded and touched my face, thumb on one side of my jaw, fingers on the other. Heat flared from the five points of contact, swirling through to the back of my skull, then down my neck to join the fire in my torso. My fire thrilled to accept his into itself even as my mind screamed traitor!

“I won’t,” I croaked.

“Yes. You will do it or I will ruin you, just like I said I would. Avoiding me isn’t going to stop me from exposing you for a liar and a cheat. Before you can count backward from three you’ll be expelled, you’ll have no chance at the agency. You’ll find yourself back in that hole Saltford, talking about novels with the local book club and watching Kevin Costner movies with a bunch of naturals.”

His lip curled on the word ‘naturals’, making his contempt clear. His hand tightened on my jaw. I fought the urge to detonate right there in the phone box and throw him through the door.

“Gage’s adoration will turn into disappointment and disgust,” his voice oozed softness. “Yes, that’s what will happen.”

My eyes grew harder and hotter, the light in the little box brightening. Heat baked from my body, heat and fear.

Ryan cocked his head. “Why do you force my hand? You know it doesn’t have to be this way. I can be nice.”

He came closer and I thought he was going to kiss me. Fire surged at the base of my throat, threatening to belch into his mouth if he did. But he released my face and traced a finger from my temple to the base of my ear, igniting a trail of heat.

“I would show you if you’d let me.”
