She's a Fox. He's a Raven. From opposing sides of a shifter clan war, their relationship is against the rules...but nothing is sweeter than forbidden fruit. When Kitsune returns home for a fireworks festival, she doesn't expect to run into Karasu, a handsome young man with a smile that melts her heart and dampens her panties. Their attraction is instant, their love bright and hot. When she discovers he's from an enemy clan, and a Raven shifter, she fights her instincts and the clan laws to be with the one she loves. Will their love be the balm to heal the rift between the two clans? Or will it spark an all-out war?
Phoenix Johnson has always been intrigued by the written word, and is rarely far from a book, whether it’s one she’s reading or writing. She has a particular fascination with paranormal and fantasy, where her imagination can run wild with dragons, magic, far off lands, and strong female characters.
She was first published through Naughty Nights Press, where she did well. Phoenix won the Best Paranormal Award through Easychair Bookstore in 2015, and, along with a few other authors, hit the USA Today bestseller’s list shortly before she had to take a step back for health reasons. Phoenix is now returning as an independent author, and is very excited to see what is in store for her this time around.
Phoenix lives west of Brisbane, Australia, with her husband, Michael, their daughters Jayde and Hela, cats Flash and Furgus, and a red cattle x, Rusty. She wandered away from writing for a few years, but was soon encouraged to return and, within months of picking up the proverbial pen, Phoenix’ first story, The Wolf In The Neighborhood, was accepted for publication by Naughty Nights Press. While working on the rest of the Wolf Smitten Trilogy, Phoenix decided to take on a university degree, and is now in the final stretch of her Bachelor of Art’s degree in Professional Writing and Publishing, with plans to continue on to her Master’s degree. In early 2015, Phoenix was thrilled to discover she’d made two Top 5 lists with three entries in the Easychair Bookstore Awards. In June, it was announced she had placed first in Best Paranormal with Once Bitten Twice Shy, the second installment in her Wolf Smitten Trilogy, while The Wolf In The Neighborhood and Wolf Smitten placed third in their respective categories of Best Paranormal and Best Series. With her inclusion in the Alphas on the Prowl Box Set in 2015, Phoenix hit the top 100 bestsellers lists across numerous distributors, number 1 bestseller on several Amazon lists, and this was quickly followed by the announcement of her achievement of number 1 bestseller for her publisher, Naughty Nights Press, for the full second quarter of 2015. The awards and achievements have only served to strengthen her ambitions, and she is now aiming at reaching the bestseller lists for USA Today and New York Times. Phoenix has been working hard to make 2015 her year, and has been busy organizing paranormal anthology Twisted Tales with seven other authors. Its release at the end of June is greatly anticipated, and she is extremely excited to see where her writing career takes her next.

What a FEATHERRIFIC story!! I was entranced right from the very start - from that beautiful cover! - and was held mesmerised straight through to the very end!! I ABSO-FOX-LUTELY LOVE kitsune stories, and while I have only read a few, I have never read anything that even remotely resembles this one, and I mean that in all the best possible ways! While this is a shorter book, you know there will be more and I for one cannot wait!! I love how the story opens! That had me going for a page or three. And the humor? HA! Some of the best lines were the “unexpected” ones! Like - "Oh God!” “Thanks, but Karasu is fine.” I had to clean my screen at that one! This is just one FOXY story with RAVENING about! Phoenix and Gina have expertly kicked off this series with a bang and I can't even imagine where it will go from here! But isn't that the best part? Finding that rare gem of a story that is unique, well written, characters you want to know more about, has a fast moving plot complete with mysteries to solve, family feuds to prevent and so much more, all while telling the hot romantic TAIL of two star crossed lovers! Phoenix Johnson & Gina Kincade are both exceptionally talented authors who will have you intrigued At First Sight!!
Very short story that begins a series about shifters. There is instant romance and maybe love. But a dream of the future that shows only death may become a reality.
