Forged In Magic - In Magic Series, #6

Enjoy this fast-paced, steamy, witchy series by paranormal romance author KJ Warawa. To protect her magic, they'll need to forge a bond.But only if he can learn to trust her. Kate Stone's magic has the power to defend against magic evil. If the gifted swordsmith can forge a piece of magical metal into a lock, the evil seeking to destroy their world can be sealed away forever. Except when she tries, a sinister force attempts to infiltrate her mind. Isaac Hull is trained in the rare art of creating magical tattoos.
After a tattoo killed his brother, it's not a gift he takes lightly. No matter how much the frustratingly beautiful and stubborn woman wants his help, he won't risk it. Kate knows that Isaac can create a tattoo to protect her while she works with the magical metal-if only he trusted her to know what's best. She already lost her reputation and her heart to a man and she's not about to let it happen again, but the more time Kate spends with Isaac, the more she wants to believe he is different.  When the enemy uses evil power in a way no one saw coming, Kate and Isaac end up in a fight for their lives.
But if they can't forge a love stronger than their beliefs, they may not live to see another day. ** The In Magic Series is best read in order although each book features a different couple and has its own Happily Ever After. **
