Borrowed Souls

Callie Delgado always puts family first, and unfortunately her brother knows it. She has emptied her savings, lost work and spilled countless tears keeping him out of trouble, but now he is in deeper than ever, and his debt has landed on her. The choice she is given is simple: do some dirty work for the mob, or have her brother returned to her in pieces.

Renting souls is big business among the religious population of Gem City. Those who want to take part in immoral — or illegal — activity can borrow someone else's soul for a price, and sin without consequence. To save her brother, Callie needs a borrowed soul she cannot possibly afford, and the slimy Soul Charmer is willing to barter.

Accepting his offer forces her into a dangerous world of magic she is not ready for. With help from the guarded but undeniably attractive Derek, whose loyalty to the Charmer wavers as his connection to Callie grows, she must avoid angering the wrong people while working out what her loyalty to her family is really worth. Book one of the Soul Charmer series.
