    Nina Bruhns

    The mother of five children, Kylie Brant claims she began writing to save her sanity. Plotting stories became her method of escape from the reality of constant ball games, chauffeuring kids, and refereeing minor disagreements between her perfect offspring. In 1992 she was elated to get a call from Silhouette offering to buy her second novel. Home with laryngitis at the time, she still managed to croak out agreement, and her career was born. A few months later she went on to sell Rancher s Choice, the first manuscript she'd written. Kylie is married to her high school sweetheart, and they make their home in Iowa. She insists that all her heroes are based on her husband of 23 years because he possesses that most heroic of all qualities - ironing skills. Those abilities come in handy, as she juggles a full time teaching job with writing and a family. Doing things the easy way has never held much appeal for this multi award-winning author. She graduated with high honours from the University of Northern Iowa. A graduation photo shows her in cap and gown holding her two sons, one aged 16 months and the other three weeks. She went on to obtain a teaching job working with learning-disabled children while completing her master's degree at night and during summers. There was a time in my life when I could imagine myself as a life-long student, she recalls. I actually toyed with the idea of pursuing a doctorate. But instead, my life took a spin and I ended up writing romances. I've never regretted it! Her family has since been completed by the birth of another son and a set of twins, a boy and a girl. Kylie's books are regularly featured on bestseller lists. With over a million copies of books in print, her novels have been distributed in 20 countries and released in seven languages. Family and friends are the main focus of Kylie's life. When she isn't writing or teaching, she enjoys reading and flower gardening. She loves traveling, preferring beach, ocean, and room service. Readers may write her at: P.O. Box 231, Charles City, IA 50616.

      Welcome to St. Yve Estate. If you are pure of heart and can get past the threshold guardians, you’re invited to enter the castle gates. Do not mind the gargoyles, their giant wings will protect you.  Come inside the Manor and meet the Cadre, a secret order established four hundred years ago, comprised of both mortals and otherworldly beings. We have the talents we need to study paranormal creatures, to experiment and capture them, and sometimes to return the evil ones to the otherworld. Our goal is to keep the human world safe from darkness and to maintain the delicate balance between the mortal and the dark realms.

      Along with the peaceful science geeks at the university's Department of Anachronistic Research, and the relentless and deadly agents of the highly covert branch of the British Security Service called P-Cell, together we fight the evil powers gathering in the dark realm that would do all of us harm.

      So you can sleep at night undisturbed, knowing we are here, working to protect you.

      Mostly.

      Enjoy your visit to St. Yve, but don’t stay too long. Once the sun goes down, humans who wander into the enchanted faerie wood at night can never find their way out again. Then, nothing can help you...

      Chapter 1

      St. Yve Manor, England

      August, 1815

      "I’m telling you, he’s trying to seduce her away from me."

      Lord Sander Maybank, Viscount Weston and future Sixth Earl of St. Yve, stalked out of the crowded ballroom and headed for the manor library. He needed a damn drink. And not that insipid French stuff being served at the ball.

      His best friend, Lord James Tennyson, kept pace at his side. Calm down, San, he drawled. Your reaction might give your guests the wrong impression.

      The air in the private hallway was suddenly filled with otherworldly presence. House demons swirled like vapor about them, sensing San’s agitation.

      And what impression might that be? he demanded, ignoring them. St. Yve was overflowing with otherworldly entities, some benevolent, some frightening, but none would hurt any member of the family or their allies.

      That you are actually in love with your fiancée, James declared.

      At the word love the faint perfume of old roses wafted through the fragrance of the beeswax candles burning in the wall sconces.

      Despite the thick Persian carpets, San’s bootsteps echoed down the cavernous hallway...along with his derisive snort. Bite your tongue, man. The day I fall in love is the day pigs fly.

      Then why are you so damn angry about Count d’Bronski?

      San brushed aside a sleepy threshold gargoyle, whipped open the library door, and marched inside. "D’Bronski’s behavior toward Lady Anne tonight has been beyond the pale—openly flirting with her all evening, dancing with her three times. Three times!"

      James went straight to the drinks table and poured two snifters of brandy. Crystal glasses clinked and clanked on the tray as a ghostly mist threaded through the delicate stems. Well, admittedly, that isn’t the done thing.

      San took the proffered snifter and downed the contents in one gulp. No. And she’s just as guilty. She should have said no the second time, let alone the third. I’m seriously considering calling off announcing our engagement tonight.

      Somewhere close by, a book thudded to the floor.

      James gave him a penetrating look. Everyone’s expecting it. Your father will not be happy if you beg off this marriage. He’s counting on her father’s patronage for the Department.

      San ground his teeth. As if he needed reminding. The Department of Anachronistic Research was London University’s most obscure, mysterious, and archaic department. Its faculty specialized in all manner of paranormal studies—clairvoyance, out-of-body, mediums, déjà vu, that sort of thing. The Department was, of course, a false front. Its true
