Overview

Spying was the job. Falling through portals, playlists, and minds was not.

Zale's a half-Kraken stuck in a desert monstertown, failing as a secret agent for the ratkind mafia. When asked to help move a terrifying object that expands the Riftworld by devouring lives, he finally can get the intel his crime boss wants most.

But someone’s inside the electrified, volatile device—a non-binary being who reads minds, opens portals, and fries people with a thought. When they latch onto Zale’s memories through music, sparks fly in ways neither expects. Lyric, forged from stolen souls and alien technology, wants more than conquest.

They want connection.

“Zapped Into Love,” a bonus chapter from book two of the Riftworld paranormal romance series, features rock playlists, portal mishaps, a music-loving cyberbug, and a hero who’s supposed to be spying—not bonding.
