A skilled warrior with a life-changing task...
Every warrior needs a talisman - but for Riley Sheridan, he cares more about partying with his buddies than finding the mate he's supposed to bond with for life. That is, until a stunning raven-haired woman steps up to the keg and asks for a beer.
A fiery beauty with untapped powers...
Lynnette Montgomery came to the festival to relax, celebrate, and take her mind off her still-undiscovered magical powers. But after fate draws her to a suave and cocky warrior, she's shocked to realize that she's his fated talisman. But finding your mate is never supposed to be this easy.
And the wrath of a goddess bent on their demise.
Drawn by a ripple in the cosmos, the infamous goddess Morrigan sets her sights on the pair. She's dead-set on stopping the next Sheridan from bonding to his talisman - and when they retreat to a remote cabin to complete the ritual, she sees her chance to strike. After the goddess kidnaps Riley, Lynette is thrust into a deadly battle with a seemingly impossible goal: to save him from a fate worse than death.
Bursting with all the pulse-pounding action and rich worldbuilding of a riveting fantasy adventure, this gripping prequel is a must-read for fans of Tam DeRudder Jackson's Talisman Series, or as a starting point for your adventure into a world of modern-day Celtic warriors.

Review :
"Fantasy readers with a taste for intricate world building and centuries-old drama will enjoy this tale of curses and fated love." --BookLife Reviews for Talisman
"Talisman is my first in the paranormal romance series based on Celtic mythology about modern-day warriors-I loved this book...Page after page, I was thoroughly entertained, intrigued, and captivated by this action-packed tale-a must-read."--Linda Ganzini, author of Lilia for Talisman
"A testosterone heavy paranormal romance. It was a fun read and has great world building." --FeyheartLevia, reviewer for Talisman
"Tam Derudder Jackson is coming for the paranormal romance pantheon. Rogue, her siz- zling romantic adventure, is going to have readers missing its story and characters before they even reach the final page. This steamy story gives readers a little extra spice to their romance, and the tale includes characters as believable as you're going to find with a splash of underrated Celtic mythos." --Alexandria Ducksworth, Independent Book Reviews for Rogue
"It takes the history of Scotland's warriors and Celtic Mythology, then blends all the stories of magic, sword play, and devious Gods into a well written world. This book stands alone, but is still part of the series. The story of how these two become a team, defy the rules, and try out plan the Gods and other clan members is awesome. It was hard to put it down, and not skip work to finish it. Fair warning it is a steamy romance." --Heleka, reviewer for Rogue
"Oh I loved everything about this book! I loved Baz and Delaney and their whole story just made me melt. This whole series is a winner." --Di Budo, reviewer for Rogue
