Jasmine Monroe once felt like damaged goods. Not anymore. Her latent abilities, although appearing too late to save her from a brutal attack, keep her safe from anyone hurting her again. Secure in that fact, she’s moved on. Until she meets her first love’s doppelganger.
Eryk Vreeland, a misfit and an embarrassment to his upper-class/upper-crust family, is a magician. His shows are renowned, his contributions to charity astronomical, his illusions precise. Except—not everything is an illusion. Sometimes, there is real magic.
Forced together to rescue and protect a young woman, safeguards must come down and, when that happens, their attraction strengthens—beyond their control—until they can barely tell where one person stops and the other begins.
Will they surrender to a legacy or risk a disaster to stay apart?

Having dual careers, one as an author and the other in IT Security, affords her, in her dual personas, to meld expertise from many disciplines and venues into stories that keep her readers coming back for more. Jerry Hampton, the companion attendant to the alter ego, Shanon Grey, provides the discipline and order to the creativity. She also provides the artistry that does into covers and accompanying materials for web sites, events, and book signings.
She currently lives in the mountains of Georgia, trading the familiarity of the coast for the lush beauty and wonder of the mountains, where her husband fulfilled her lifelong dream—to live in a cottage in the woods, where inspiration abounds.
I have to admit that I am usually disappointed by the 2nd book in a series. Happily I can say not so with Meadow's Keep. This story grabs you early on and takes you along for the ride. Give The Gatekeepers series a try. Wonderful
Amazing sequel to the first book, loved the character development of Jasmine, especially as she grew from her abusive past. Also loved the chemistry between her and Eryk. Great book.
This one was as good as the first book in the series. Lots of action, some well-written erotic parts that are necessary to advance the plot of the series. Both the internal and external dialogues are believable and easy to follow even when the characters cross talk over each other. Descriptions are wonderful and would entice the reader to seek out these locations if they actually existed. Bask remains as mysterious as he is helpful to those in his care. There are new characters introduced and new relationship possibilities for the more familiar characters. My only disappointment is that volume 3 of the series is not yet available.
I thought I wouldn't like this one since jasmine's character in the first book put me off. But hell no, I had a major understanding now (with her). It was good, mysterious, exciting (the story and between people) and steamy (I didn't find the first book sexy or steamy). This one was one of an attraction mate thing!! And what a great opening to more about the gatekeeper! ! God I hope I would be reading about Yancy and Teressa ( in their fifties) but I don't care aboug elder love story. they don't seem that old and Dr Mike Yancy is buffing for his sweet Teresa. Maybe she won't need Truffe!!
