    Riley’s Guardians are breaking apart, and he fears he can’t put them back together again.  
    A hybrid born of an Angel-Fallen union, Riley Shepard is an anomaly coveted by both sides of an ancient war. But he doesn’t want to fight their war; he has his own battles to face. As his family fractures, bonds are tested, and forbidden feelings threaten to tear his heart into bloody thirds.  
    When the next attack comes—not from the outside but from within—is he strong enough to separate truth from lies, allies from enemies, reality from fantasy? How can Riley know what’s true when he doesn’t even know what’s real?  
    Life isn’t simple, love is complicated, and reality is terrifyingly blurry.  
    Illusion is the third book in the slow-burn harem/poly romance series, Fire & Brimstone, featuring hurt/comfort, broken but brave guardian angels, the first spicy taste of love, and an unlikely hero who learns to embrace his deepest desires.

    John Clare (1793 - 1864) was a farm labourer in the village of Helpstone, Northamptonshire, who became arguably England's greatest nature poet. He rose to fame when his 'Poems Descriptive of Rural Life and Scenery' was published in 1820. His language preserves many local dialect words in a mixture of classical forms and heart-felt love of country life and nature. This volume comprises fifteen of his bird poems. (Summary by David Barnes).
