Summary:
"Christina Bauer has blessed us, people! This book, written from Lincoln's perspective, was simply a treat that I most definitely enjoyed!" - The Reading Life
As the High Prince of the demon-fighting thrax, Lincoln knows he must marry for political gain. Not that he minds. For all of his eighteen years, Lincoln’s been bound to his duty. Fighting demons is his life, and he’s never given romance a second thought. Instead, the High Prince lives for the days when he leaves his hidden realm to fight demons on Earth.
Then, everything changes.
"I call dibs on Lincoln as my book boyfriend and main squeeze." - Accidental Reader
Lincoln and his nobles become forced to visit Purgatory, the home of quasi-demons (who are mostly human with a bit of demonic DNA). Here Lincoln spies Myla Lewis, a lady warrior who enflames his heart, ignites his interest, and inspires his respect. Trouble is, Myla’s also a quasi. By thrax law, Lincoln must kill anything demonic—not date them.
For the first time in his life, Lincoln wonders if he’ll follow his duty…or heed the demands of his heart.
Don't miss this prequel novella to the best-selling Angelbound, told from Prince Lincoln's point of view!
Genre: YA Urban Fantasy
Summary:
“Bauer’s unique voice blends magical fantasy,
swooning romance, and a bucketful of teenage sass.” – Booklist
Years ago, Elle — never call her Cinderella — escaped her evil step family in order to build a new life for herself in Manhattan. Today, Elle’s awful past is a distant memory. In fact, Elle even attends West Lake Prep, an exclusive high school where regular humans mix with members of the Magicorum, such as fairies, shifters and witches. Although she still must live in hiding from her evil step family, Elle always has found ways to get whatever her heart desires.
That is, until Alec Le Charme. Sure, Alec is the heir to the Le Charme dynasty of high-end jewelers, but he's also kind, charismatic, and has a knee-melting smile.
“Must-read YA paranormal romance!” - USA Today
Long story short, Elle has fallen for Alec, hard. Unfortunately, thanks to Elle’s evil step family, the Le Charme heir is absolutely off limits. In fact, if Elle and Alec so much as kiss, it will start a magical chain reaction that would end in powerful factions of witches and wizards going to war. As a result, Elle and Alec vow to stay friends, no matter what. Then West Lake Prep holds a masquerade ball. Identities get mixed up and forbidden kisses are finally shared.
Time for the Magicorum to go to war, and for Elle to confront her hidden past in ways she never thought possible.

Summary:
A prequel novella to the new series from USA
Today's 'must read YA paranormal romance' author, Christina Bauer.
Truth time. I go to a Learning Squirrel High School. Don’t judge.
On second thought, judge away. Learning Squirrel is one step above attending class in a junkyard. But what do you expect? Everything’s made out of garbage these days. At least, I have my freelance work to keep Mom and me housed, clothed, and fed. How? I’m your regular high school science geek for hire… only my work manipulates space-time. These gigs pay really well, but the government wants people like me dead. Good thing I’m super careful about hiding from their detection systems.
Then I screw up a job. Badly. My house slips into two-dimensional space-time. It only lasts for a few seconds, but the move still sets off about a dozen government alarms. If they track me down, Mom and I are good as dead. Long story short, I need to pay someone off, hide the evidence, and keep us safe.
Unfortunately, that means asking the Scythe for help. He runs the local underground crime scene and has absolutely no conscience. Or I'm pretty sure he doesn’t. It’s hard to think straight when a guy’s that hot in an evil Mafioso kingpin kind of way. More importantly, he's a crime lord who can conceal my slip-up with a few clicks on his minion’s computer keyboards. But the Scythe has his price. In this case, he wants me to finish a certain dimensional prototype for him in twenty-four hours. I can do it, but it might mean Learning Squirrel High gets blown up in the process. Oh yes, and there's also my new hot classmate who may or may not be an alien... and he says he'll do anything to help me.
This job won't be easy, but I’ve gotten out of worse scrapes. Maybe.
"Bauer’s unique voice blends magical fantasy, swooning romance, and a bucketful of teenage sass." - Booklist
This new series is perfect for: fans of urban fantasy, action & adventure, cool science, evil corporations, forbidden romance and hot new classmates who may or may not be aliens.

BOOK EXCERPT
SCYTHE
Dimension Drift, Prequel 1
The Kiss
Thorne cups my face in
his hands. “Then let me help you in another way. Can you trust in that?”
Our shared connection
returns. Thorne’s emotions flow through my soul. I soak in the feelings.
The searing pain of
worry.
Rock-solid conviction.
Raw honesty.
“Yes, Thorne.” My voice
comes out rough and low. “I trust you.”
Thorne closes his eyes,
and even in the dim moonlight, I can see his skin change color. Every inch of
him is now colored in azure.
“You’re blue.”
“Yes.”
“You really, really are
an alien.”
A small smile quirks his
mouth again. “And you’re not frightened of me.”
“I should be.” In fact, I
should scream and run right now, and for multiple reasons. Maybe it’s my
dreams. Or the intensity of Throne’s emotions. Or something else I’m too afraid
to name.
Whatever it is, I can’t
help but stare at his mouth.
“Never be frightened of
me, Rosa Meimifloria Archer, my
glorious girl named after the drift rose.” Thorne leans in closer. His breath
fans across my lips. “I’ll do whatever it takes to keep you safe. And
for me, my people, a kiss can connect our consciousness in special ways.” He
gently moves his mouth across mine.
Black, silver, and blue
light now flare across Throne’s azure skin. The same colors shine from me as
well. Deep in my soul, new links form. Energies entwine. Psychological cogs
connect and spin. Warmth and affection spread.
I break the kiss,
breathless. The light from our skin dies down. The azure hue disappears from
Thorne.
“What was that?” I ask.
“The
only way I can keep you safe.” Thorne’s mouth thins to a determined line.
“Although it will mean a battle with my father.”
“Over
me?”
Thorne
nods.
Fresh
panic streams through my veins. “Don’t do that. I’m not worth it.”
“That’s where you’re
wrong, Meimi. You’re remarkable.”
“Why? Because I build
prototypes?”
“No, because you’ve a
true heart, stellar mind, and fighting spirit. I’d tear apart any number of
universes for you. You may find this hard to believe, but I already have.”

Christina Bauer thinks that fantasy books are like bacon: they just
make life better. All of which is why she writes romance novels that feature
demons, dragons, wizards, witches, elves, elementals, and a bunch of random
stuff that she brainstorms while riding the Boston T. Oh, and she includes lots
of humor and kick-ass chicks, too.
Christina graduated from Syracuse University’s Newhouse School with BA’s in English along with Television, Radio, and Film Production. She lives in Newton, MA with her husband, son, and semi-insane golden retriever, Ruby.
