Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night by Kresley Cole
Immortals After Dark
Bowen MacRieve, of the Lykae Clan (third in line for the throne, fancy), lost his mate a long, long, long, long time ago. Nix (*holds up sign that says I 💗 Nix*) tells him that he'll find his mate if he enters the Talisman's Hie. So he does. While on a task he comes across Mariketa the Awaited, a witch.
Bowen thinks Mariketa put a spell on him to make his Instinct be all "Look Bowen! Mate! Our Mate!" (not sure why I picture The Instinct as an over-excited puppy... Cause that doesn't fit with the writing, but I do...) Bowen ends up trapping Mariketa in a tomb with some others from the Lore. She blasts him with a spell that turns off his regeneration right before he traps them, though.
In Bowen's defense, he assumed with two demons and three fey, the witch could get out fairly quickly.
They do not get out fairly quickly.
Weeks later, a war is brewing because Mariketa hasn't returned and she's the leader of the Witches. And they're pissed at Bowen.
So, he has to go fetch her and bring her home.
They have to jump a bunch of hurdles to get back to New Orleans. And then a couple more hurdles happen after they return to New Orleans.
In the end, things work out and they get a happy ending.
Lovely book. Lovely characters. Lovely all around.
