About this ebook
~ Who needs a fated mate? Not this phoenix girl. ~
Rose doesn’t care about the name tattooed on her wrist since birth.
She doesn’t care that there’s a man called Pierre somewhere out there, maybe—probably—looking for her.
She just wants to live her life as she sees fit, without following the path ‘fate’ or whoever else designated for her. Besides, she’s too busy running Sanctuary, this safe-haven for people with paranormal powers, to worry about romantic entanglements and a fated mate.
So when emissaries from France visit Sanctuary and one of them introduces himself as Pierre, there’s only one thing this phoenix shifter wants to do: fly away.
The only question is, will Pierre allow her to flee?

About the author
CHASING ROSE
In Rose’s opinion, few things in Sanctuary reached a higher level on the boredom scale than what her mother called ‘diplomatic visits.’ Not that anyone had ever actually asked her what she thought about them. Thankfully, they were few and far between.
As a rule, she didn’t mind the tasks needed to govern Sanctuary: meetings about supplies, about construction and infrastructure, about agriculture and manufacturing, about health issues, about entertainment, about safety, and a dozen other things. It was all about taking care of Sanctuary and its inhabitants, about keeping them all safe, and Rose had always taken her responsibilities in that regard with the utmost seriousness. Sanctuary was private land that did not technically have any right to self-governance, but bureaucracy could be flexible with the right contacts… and the right amount of money.
From their childhood, Rose and her sister, Violet, had been taught that one day they’d have to take care of this land the way their mother did, the way their grandfather had before her, and his mother before him, all the way back to the ancestor who had bought these lands, bit by bit, and had grown and fortified a domain where paras could live free. But while Violet had taken the first opportunity to run out to the outside world, Rose had taken her duties to heart. She’d learned at her mother’s side, gaining confidence over the years, so that today they worked together—ruled together, really.
It was one of the first thing paras who asked to live here were told: Sanctuary wasn’t a democracy. Everyone was free to disagree with the leadership and to make their opinions known, even to ask other people’s support on petitions asking for something to be changed, but in the end the Littlewings family was in charge. These were their lands, they owned every building ever constructed here, and the fact that they’d welcomed more and more people here over the years didn’t change that.
All this, and how they made it work, was in part the
