Some Like it Hot (Loot Sisters #14)

The horizon glares gold as we ride deeper into the mountains. I scrape my sweat-damp hair off my forehead and shade my eyes. It’s too bright to see past the jagged stone that curves around us like a massive ribcage. The unicorns diligently carry us forward, slowed by the sand churning beneath their hooves like spice-red butter.

“We’ll reach Lucifer’s Glen by sunset,” Felicia says, unaffected by the heat.

If Erd didn’t sneak past us, he’s likely there. “Let’s visit Lady Gray.” Though known for her powerful potions, Gray is also an unparalleled tracker.

Felicia grins. “Yes! She’s always fun.”
