*Please note: this is the explicit version of Thistle and Smoke, which is the edited/reworked/expanded version of this original concept.* After Rae Campbell is murdered by her abductor, she wakes in a world that exists parallel to ours- one which diverged in 1761, when a band of Scottish Highlanders joined with the Skin-Walking Kituwah tribe to oust the British from Appalachia. Rae becomes a Spirit-Walker; she walks in the skin of the leader's mate, Ceallach, who like Rae, suffered a wrongful death. The leader and Rae make a pact- she will help him discover his mate's murderer, and he will grant her safety and shelter while teaching her the ways of this new world. When Ceallach's wolf-skin begins to awaken within Rae's body, however, everything changes. The mate bond becomes impossible to ignore, and it consumes her, body and soul. Unable to shift, however, the unsettled bond throws her new world into turmoil. Will she walk in her wolf skin in time and bear the mark of her new mate? Or will she fail and cost the man she is learning to love everything he holds dear?

When Agatha becomes the Everard's governess, she's grateful for a way to escape her dark past. That is until her growing feelings for the mysterious Lord of the house begin to present an even greater risk. ***** The Everard's are one of the most esteemed families in Wickhurst.

With only her wits, her strength, and her sacred runelore, the fierce Yirba warrior princess is alone in the Empire of Cresh.

But other magics must be at work here, because Weysh might just be her best hope at finding the answers she seeks. Only now Yenni can't tell if she's fighting an attraction to a dragon . . . or fighting fate itself.
