Love takes wing faster than a Raven in flight.
The Gray Court, Book 6
Amanda Pierson’s long-overdue holiday at the Dunne farm unexpectedly turns into a
working vacation when she’s roped into throwing together a last-minute dream wedding
for Michaela Exton and Robin Goodfellow. No biggie for one of the best party planners at
Fantasy Events, Inc., right?
Right.
A monkey wrench lands with a thud when the groom’s son—who’s been watching her
every move—declares they were meant to be together. Raven Goodfellow is everything
she doesn’t want in a lover. Brash, bold and goth. Yet there’s something almost…magical
about their attraction.
The moment Raven saw Amanda’s picture, he had suspicions. Now that he’s seen her
in person, he’s certain. She is his truebond, though it will take a delicate, feather-light
touch to bring her into his world.
Love takes wing faster than a bird in flight. But when the Dark Queen sends agents to
destroy him, Raven finds himself in a desperate fight to protect all he holds dear…or the
Dark Queen may succeed where so many others have failed.
Warning: This title contains explicit sex, graphic language, a bachelorette party that
ends in jail time, double-dog dares, feathered flirting and wicked intentions.
Never More
Dana Marie Bell
Dedication
To Mom, who encouraged my fascination with reading, even when she didn’t
understand what I was reading. Gods and devils, elves and sorcery, space flight and laser
beams filled my head. With all those good books in our library, she was lucky I graduated
grade school. (Yes, I hid in my closet to read. Who didn’t?)
To Dad, who always reminded us that you “gotta do what you gotta do” to take care of
your family before you could play. If he hadn’t, I’d probably be playing Dragon Age right
now instead of writing. Say thank you, guys.
And to Dusty, who wriggled in my trap before he finally accepted I wasn’t going
anywhere. My evil plan worked. You’re my little puppy now, mated to me for life.
Remember what my dad said when he walked me down the aisle: “NO RETURNS.”
Chapter One
Amanda Pierson tapped the papers against the kitchen table, lining them up precisely.
“All right.” She eyed the couple across from her, gauging their taste by their clothing and
mannerisms to come up with something that would appeal to them both. It was part of
her job as a party planner for Fantasy Events, and Amanda was damn good at her job.
But these two? These two were going to give her fits, she just knew it. Why had she
allowed Ruby to talk her into taking this job?
Oh, right. Ruby, her BFF since kindergarten, was married to Amanda’s boss, Leo Dunne.
Therefore, what Ruby wanted, Leo demanded and Amanda delivered. At least on the
party planning front.
Stupid nepotism. The vacation of shopping malls and spa trips she’d envisioned with
Ruby was deteriorating into a work trip. Leo so owed her for this one.
Hell, he still owed her for setting up Ruby for one hell of a fall. If Amanda hadn’t
literally pushed Ruby into Leo’s arms, they’d both still be silently pining after one another.
Once this wedding was done, she planned on cashing in on that favor. Maybe she’d drag
Ruby off to Tahiti, just the two of them? Work had been a pain right up until her little
vacation, and her ex, the Viking with the tiny spear, couldn’t seem to get it through his
thick skull that their relationship was so dead Charon was holding out his hand for his
payment to take it down the river Styx.
Shaking her head, Amanda got back down to business. At least these two were
amusing, even if she could already tell they’d drive her nuts.
The redheaded groom hovered protectively over his smaller, dark-haired bride, his blue
eyes gazing at her adoringly. The brunette was all smiles and bounces, eager to discuss
their upcoming wedding.
A wedding that was mere weeks away.
Thanks, Leo. Thanks a lot.
Amanda plastered on her best smile. It was never easy taking over the planning of a
wedding. Usually another planner had things in place, people they were used to working
with who were aware of the planner’s choices and the bride’s likes and dislikes. Even
worse, Amanda was from out of town and didn’t have the contacts another planner would
have. But the bride and groom had been planning their wedding on their own and gotten
bogged down by work. They needed help, and thanks to Ruby and Leo, Amanda was the
one they were turning to. “First things first. Ruby told me who you are, but I’d like to
