The World in Shadow
Powerful yet tormented modern warlock Quinn Fairmont must initiate the silver-eyed Cade Mairston into the world of witchfinders, Withinners, and what can happen when two men fall truly, madly, deeply in love.
In modern London there lurks a warlock, Quinn Fairmont. Dangerous, powerful, tortured, sharing his body with the soul of an ancient Welsh sorcerer, Quinn is never alone—and never wholly himself. He fights against all those who would exploit his kind. He takes pleasure where he can find it.
In the forest of Hampstead Heath, Quinn’s hometown, Cade Mairston appears to him like a waking dream. Lithe, lean and silver-eyed, he evokes feelings in Quinn unlike any other: lust with true affection, immediate and shocking. Cade is clearly more than he seems. And yet, if a man of the world, Cade is innocent. He knows nothing of warlocks, witchfinders or Withinners. He knows nothing of what he is, what he might be, or what he might feel. For him, the story is just beginning. Magyck, peril and passion await. More awaits in book two…

They lay beside each other in Cade’s bed, snuggled under the covers together. It was a large king-size bed, one they’d made the most of it that evening. Quinn turned and regarded Cade with drowsy eyes as his fingers trailed soft patterns across his chest. Cade caught his breath at Quinn’s lazy touch, his body still jazzed up from their love making. Quinn fingered the small metal piercing in Cade’s left nipple with lazy indolence. Cade’s hands caressed Quinn’s stomach, lingering on an ugly, puckered three-inch scar which stretched down to his left hip.
“You seem to be getting used to this whole situation,” Quinn murmured. He caressed the nipple piercing. “And this was a nice surprise. You didn’t have it in the other night. I think I explored you enough to know you don’t have any more anywhere.” He grinned wickedly as Cade’s fingers pinched his hip.
Cade laughed softly. “I took it out for the benefit dinner. It doesn’t fit well under a dress shirt. And as for all this -I don’t believe it all myself. But I don’t seem to have a choice. You’ve made that quite clear. And I have to say it’s not all that much of a hardship. You’re a pretty personable and sexy guy and to be honest, this just feels –so right- somehow.” He licked a wet tongue down Quinn’s shoulder and grinned as Quinn lost his breath.
Cade murmured, “I saw you in the paper with a man called Adam Carnover.”
Quinn started and looked at Cade with hooded eyes.
Cade watched his eyes. “Is he still in your life? The papers seemed to think you were getting married.”
Quinn leaned over and kissed his forehead softly. “I wouldn’t be here with you if I was with another man. Adam isn’t in my life any longer.”
“What happened?”
Quinn frowned, his face dark. “We had a difference of opinion and decided to go our separate ways.”
“Was he like me, or was he normal?” Cade asked curiously, glad that the man was no longer around but still intending to find out more about their past relationship.
Quinn was still. “He was normal, nothing like you,” he said shortly.
Cade could tell he really didn’t want to talk about his ex. Wisely, he let it rest for the moment. “Another thing you haven’t told me. Who was that man I saw in the forest that evening? Was that something to do with you?”
Quinn’s eyes narrowed as if debating what to say next.
“Are you going to tell me?” Cade watched him closely. He reached down and grasped Quinn’s semi erect cock. “Or do I have to suck it out of you like I did earlier?”
Quinn gave a low laugh and sat up, the bed covers draped across his waist as he leaned back against the headboard. “As much as I find that idea very appealing, I think I need to recuperate first. I don’t think I’ve got any moisture left in my body after that very intense blow job. But please feel free to repeat the experience in a little while.”
About Susan MacNicol
Bringing lovers together, one book at a time
The official stuff
Susan writes steamy, sexy and fun contemporary romance stories, some suspenseful, some gritty and dark and hopefully always entertaining. She’s also Editor in Chief at Divine Magazine, an online LGBTQ e-zine, and a member of The Society of Authors, the Writers Guild of Great Britain, and the Authors Guild in the US.
Susan is also an award-winning script writer, with scripts based on two of her own published works. Sight Unseen has garnered no less than five awards to date and her TV pilot, Reel Life, based on her debut novel, Cassandra by Starlight, was also a winner at the Oaxaca Film Fest.
The ‘unofficial’ stuff…
She loves going to the theatre, live music concerts (especially if it’s her man crush Adam Lambert or the divine Cumberbatch) walks in the countryside, a good G and T, lazing away afternoons reading a good book, and watching re-runs of Silent Witness.
Her chequered past includes stories like being mistaken for a prostitute in the city of Johannesburg, being chased by a rhino on a dusty Kenyan road, getting kicked out of a youth club for being a ‘bad influence’ (she encourages free thinking) and having an aunt who was engaged to Cliff Richard.
I’d love you to stalk me so here you go…
