As fate would have it, Connor’s security company was hired by the same law firm. He begs Nevada to figure out who killed his lawyer wife. Nevada is hired by Cornelius, an animal mage that is introduced in book one. They join forces again to solve a locked-room murder case. It’s also when the romance between Connor and Nevada gets going. The next book, White Hot, was my favorite as more of the magical world is revealed. Connor is all on board to explore a relationship, but Nevada swears she’ll never see him again. At the end of book one, Nevada and Connor have an INTENSE moment while the city is literally on fire. I loved their witty banter when sparks really start to fly. The two stubborn characters reluctantly work the case together. Through the case, she discovers she has only scratched the surface of her potential. She always knows when someone was lying, so she has the power to resist truth magic.
Totally rational, right?! Little does he know that Nevada isn’t so easy to crack. He crosses paths with Nevada and kidnaps her to squeeze her for information. He is known for leveling cities with his telekinetic powers. Not fair, sir! Enter Connor “Mad” Rogan who is a Prime and retired from the military. If she refuses, he threatens to bankrupt her and acquire her business. If she somehow brings in Adam, her boss will give her a hefty check. Her boss wants her to allegedly resolve the situation while his rich magic house stays out of the heat. When magic-users fight, the cops just get out of the way. In Burn for Me, Nevada’s forced onto a dangerous case to track down a psychotic Prime fire mage named Adam. Light spoilers for the first four books are below! Even though they are small potatoes compared to their parent firm, they get by pretty well. She lives with her mom, siblings, cousins, and grandmother in a giant warehouse. Partly to pay off debt, but also to keep busy. After her dad passed, she has thrown herself headfirst into work.
Nevada has been leading the business ever since her father fell ill from cancer. The first trilogy of books follows Nevada Baylor who runs a private investigation business with her family. The next level down is called Significant. There are magical houses led by users with the Prime (aka highest) level of magic.
The Hidden Legacy world revolves around magic that’s passed on through bloodlines. It wasn’t until Malin gifted me the first two books for the CBR12 book exchange that I dove into the series. I even bought the most recent book last year. I know you didn’t have to twist my arm! I had always planned to read their Hidden Legacy series. Thanks to Malin, Emmalita, and Jen K for convincing me. I didn’t quite get hooked, but Cannonball Read made me want to read more. We read the first Kate Daniels book, Magic Bites. I discovered Ilona Andrews through Felicia Day’s book club.
