A Skinwalker's Legacy
Lexia Torrance is a young woman with the gift of second sight. Her ability allows the Phoenix Police Department to solve crimes based on the gift of touch. Her latest case leads her to the body of a local man left with the killers' calling card—an emblem burned on the victim's chest in the shape of a sun. She soon finds herself facing five men looking for the necklace with the same emblem…and they are determined to find her as well...
Galen Cortes knows the immense ability deep inside Lexia as well as her destiny to take the throne as Skinwalker Chieftess to the southwest tribe. As a guard of the tribe, Galen has sworn to protect Lexia and teach her the truth about her powers. Despite what his heart feels, he knows a guard isn’t supposed to get too close to a betrothed Chieftess. But his fiery passion may soon override his rational thought.
With a murderous Lycan tribe on their tail and only a few hours to spare once Lexia learns her birthright, Galen will only have a day to teach her what those before her learned in a lifetime. Before their time is over, passion will erupt between the guard and his ruler, a fateful battle will dawn between two tribes and a new Chieftess will arise within the nocturnal hours…

*recommended for ages 18 +up for adult content
This book was a great read. It's filled with action, suspence, heat and it will have you flipping pages wanting more! The story follows Lexia, a devoted police officer and a skinwalker chieftess (although she doesn't know it yet.) This book is packed with action from the very begining! A murder, mystery, kidnapping...
Then comes Galen Cozel, a guard sent to protect the Skinwalker Chieftess. He tells Lexia about her family's history and how she is to marry the Lycan, Damien, in order to secure the survival of their people. Only problem is Damien is the one leading the murderous Lycan tribe trying to find and kill her!
Having to put his feelings toward Lexia aside, Galen, must remind himself that a guards job is to protect and ensure the safety of the Skinwalker Chieftess and not to get in the way of the oral prophecy passed down through the years...But that can be easier said than done...
First he has to expose the true nature of Damien to the tribe and protect the woman he loves...
As always, I don't like to give away too much of the story, but I can say, that this is a great quick story to get wrapped up in. Filled with Skinwalkers, Shifters, Lycans, Faeries...action and romance. Author Shae Wynters did an awesome job creating a world of paranormal that will remain in your mind long after reading the book. I highly recommend this book.

Oh wow, does this book have heat! I love shifter romance, but this book has more than that. Not only is Lexia a shifter, who has been kept from shifting her whole life, but she is a real and truly skinwalker. Now most of what I know about skinwalkers involves skins, like selkies. However, this book takes it to 9th degree.
And Galen is hot, hot, hot. Native Americans make the hottest shifters. Something about the connection to the earth and Mother Nature that is inherent in the Native American culture, the bronzed skin, and oh-so-buff 12 pack you can just picture gracing that gorgeous body. And Galen is also Scottish, you know the kilt wearing, highlander. Okay so two of my favorite fantasy men combined in one. It helps that I have a little of both in my own blood, I guess, but I could just eat him with a spoon…. Or whatever (insert wicked grin here ‘:)
The only bad thing was the book ended before I was ready. I wanted to know more, like what happened next? I can only hope there are more books like this one to come, with maybe a little peek at my favorite Scottish~Native American~shifter~fey and the skinwalker princess.
I give this book 4 out of 5 clouds and a heat rating of 7 on a scale of 10 (not too graphic but enough to get the blood pumping).

First of all, the blurb for this book would've been so so so much better if there wasn't the part on Galen and how Lexia is the Chieftess. We want to find out these things on our own! and it would've made the novel so much better if we had not have known this from the moment we start the novel. I love the female dominance in this book, we don't really see much of it, but we do here and it's very refreshing. However, the almighty cliche of guy loves girl he's not supposed to/cannot love tries to stay away from her and keep in control. Yeah, heard that one before? I have, yet it worked really well in this novel. I love the way that Lexia can stand up for herself and can fend for herself. You constantly see elements that make you believe she is Skinwalker Chieftess material and is not one to mess around with. You go girl!
Great use of imagery, the model on the cover looks exactly how I pictured Lexia, right throughout the whole novel.
