Artifice - Book Six of the Alpha Series - MxM

A witch trial is called, fueled by unreliable witnesses and mounting suspicion. It seems there's no hope left for Verando-already a target of the court's ruthless judgment. Nicolas knows that time is running out, and if he doesn't act quickly, the one person who may hold the key to unraveling everything could be lost forever. He must move fast to save Verando and uncover the truth about Helen-a mysterious woman who has shown up with answers he isn't prepared to hear.

Helen claims to be from the future and holds a ring that Nicolas recognizes all too well: his own. Desperate and out of time, she begs for his help, insisting that she's here to change the course of history-but how could anyone travel through time? It seems impossible, a story for myth and legend. And yet, the ring is irrefutable evidence that her words may hold some truth.

But the question remains: What does she want?

Why has she appeared now, and what part does she play in the fate of Verando-and in Nicolas' own future? She's a mystery he can't afford to ignore, but everything about this situation feels like a trap.

The court is closing in, the witch trial is nearing its conclusion, and everything they've worked to protect is at risk.

But Helen is persistent, and the more time they spend together, the more Nicolas begins to believe that she may hold the key to something far more significant than just saving one life. She may be the only hope they have of preventing the worst from happening-and the clock is ticking.
