After spending the morning in a CPR class, registered nurse and mother of three Rebecca Boone Kozowyk returned home to a family barbeque with her husband, sons, and parents. When her sixteen-year-old son David asked her for the truck keys later that evening to drive his girlfriend home, she handed them to him without a second thought, unaware that just a few hours later she and her husband would receive the devastating news that David had suffered a catastrophic brain injury and other life-threatening injuries in a horrible crash.

With nowhere else to turn, Rebecca placed all of her faith and hope in God and cried out to Him.

Spark
When chemistry meets attraction, sparks ignite… Zuri comes from a bloodline of powerful magic. Controlling hers has occasionally proven to be a challenge since her powers are tied to her emotions. But it comes in handy living in a town full of supernatural beings. Yet, there is only one that gets under her skin—Simeon. A dragon shifter that skulks around in the darkness a little too much for her liking. Simeon has tried to stay away from Zuri, the woman whose touch makes his dragon burn hotter. He never thought his mate would be a welder of magic, but that’s what the fates have decided. But just as he warms up to the idea of bonding himself to her, strange and unnatural things start to happen, and he can’t ignore the sinking suspicion that something life-changing is heading their way. ***This story was a part of the Midnight Magic anthology.
