Parched: Volume 1

Clarity Parker has spent her entire life pretending she's normal.

She isn't.

She hears thoughts she was never meant to hear. She feels emotions that aren't her own. And sometimes she knows the truth before anyone speaks it. Hiding those impossible abilities has allowed her to build a successful career in Manhattan advertising, where reading people is more valuable than anyone realizes.

Until Baron Ford returns.

Five years ago, he walked away without explanation. Now he's back carrying dangerous secrets, impossible answers, and a warning that changes everything Clarity thought she knew about herself.

Because the strange gifts she's spent years hiding aren't a curse.

They're part of an ancient bloodline.

As whispers of forgotten magic, powerful vampire clans, and legendary Lifebloods pull her into a hidden world that has existed beside humanity for centuries, Clarity discovers she's far more than an empath. She may be the key to a prophecy powerful enough to reshape the future of the vampire race.

But ancient enemies have been waiting for her far longer than she has been searching for them.

And trusting Baron again may be the most dangerous choice she'll ever make.

Parched is Book One of The Parched Saga, an interconnected romantasy series filled with ancient bloodlines, forbidden magic, seductive supernatural races, fated mates, hidden worlds, slow-burn romance, and an overarching mythology that unfolds across every book.

Note to readers: The romance grows progressively steamier as the saga unfolds. Beginning with Quenched (Book 3), the series embraces the full sensuality of its supernatural bonds while continuing the overarching fantasy storyline.
