Book excerpt: Camilla Frost will make apple pastries for anyone who visits her family’s boarding house, unless they’re a dragon princess, a volatile vampire, or… an infuriating–but attractive–phoenix shifter. So when her father allows two shifters to stay, she tries to convince her family it’s a bad idea. They could burn the house down, they could destroy the apple orchard, or even worse… she might even begin to like them. Unfortunately the phoenix is charming and the dragon is becoming an unlikely friend. Camilla lets her guard down. When a member of her family is turned into a vampire, she’s afraid the shifters will hunt him down. Now the shifters’ presence in her home isn’t just inconvenient, it’s deadly. If they find out the truth, they could destroy the people she cares most about. *Frigid is the first book in the Frost Boarding House, is a prequel series to the USA Today Bestselling series The Siren Prophecy (Shifter Academy). *Set in the Pacific Northwest in the late 1800’s, it’s filled with magic and slow-burn romance. It features a stubborn, unlikely heroine and a swoon-worthy hero.
