<strong><em>New York Times bestselling author Lara Adrian returns with a pulse-pounding new novel in the thrilling Hunter Legacy series of vampire romances set in the darkly seductive Midnight Breed paranormal story world.</em></strong></div>
<div style="line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Born and raised as an assassin in the notorious Hunter program, Breed vampire Cain has since put his specialized skills to use as a mercenary willing to clean up any problem for a price. Or so he thought. After a job in Las Vegas strains even his dubious code of honor, Cain pulls up stakes and lands in Miami for a much-needed break. All he wants is time away to clear his head and regroup, but then a beautiful young woman is nearly killed in front of his eyes and the ruthless former Hunter becomes the only thing standing between her and a sniper’s bullet.</div>
<div style="line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 10px;">
Marina Moretskova is no stranger to dangerous men. As the niece of a Russian organized crime boss, she’s grown up around killers and criminals. But her uncle wants out now, and he’s enlisted Marina’s help in buying his freedom by delivering valuable intel to a secret contact in exchange for protection. Not even Marina’s bodyguards are aware of her mission, so when an attempt on her life is averted by a handsome, steely-eyed vampire, as grateful as she is for Cain’s intervention, the last thing she needs is the shrewd Breed male nosing around for answers. Cain’s cold, haunted gaze and merciless abilities attest to his brutal nature, yet the rough, solitary Hunter stirs a powerful longing in Marina—a darkly seductive hunger she can neither afford nor resist. With a target on her back and covert enemies closing in from all sides, trust is a risk that can prove deadly . . . and the safest shelter she may find is in the arms of the most lethal man she’ll ever know.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Review:</span></span></h2>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">This book was a thrill ride from start to finish. Love the Elder Race series and this one was amazing. We are introduced to a couple of new characters especially Stinkpot aka Niall and Azrael. I do so hope that Azrael gets his own book. He took it very well when Pia slapped him. Plus we got to see some old favorites. I think everyone who was anyone in this series showed up for this book. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">I always hate to see the end of her book and I cannot wait to see where Ms. Harrison take us on the next journey into this world. I give this one 5 stars.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: "merriweather" , "georgia" , serif; font-size: 14px;">I was given ARC in consideration of fair and honest review.</span><br />

<b style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Enter <i>New York Times </i>bestselling author Nalini Singh's breathtakingly passionate Guild Hunter world with the story of a woman who isn't a vampire or an angel...or human...</b><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Once a broken girl known as Sorrow, Holly Chang now prowls the shadowy gray underground of the city for the angels. But it's not her winged allies who make her a wanted woman--it's the unknown power coursing through her veins. Brutalized by an insane archangel, she was left with the bloodlust of a vampire, the ability to mesmerize her prey, and a poisonous bite.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Now, someone has put a bounty on her head...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Venom is one of the Seven, Archangel Raphael's private guard, and he's as infuriating as he is seductive. A centuries-old vampire, his fangs dispense a poison deadlier than Holly's. But even if Venom can protect Holly from those hunting her, he might not be able to save himself--because the strange, violent power inside Holly is awakening...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">No one is safe.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">I know I say this every time but this is my absolute favorite Nalini Singh book. I didn't think i would like Viper but dayumn he is perfect for Holly. He can be an ass a sexy one but an ass none the less and he is great to have in your corner. And he treats Holly like an equal and unbroken which is what she needs. And Holly might be a newbie paranormal but she is powerful and growing more so </span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">If they can avoid the people who are trying to kill her then they just might get their happy every after. Unless Holly grows too powerful and Raphael has to put her down that is if Elena would let him.</span><br />
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">I bought this book with my own money and i give it 5 stars plus. If you want you can buy your own cluck here</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Kat
Morales felt a tingle of nerves between her shoulders as she and her partner
entered Miguelito's. Something watched them – not some one, not anyone in the
knot of uniformed police and civilians gathered at the doors into the
restaurant's kitchen. What burned at the nape of Kat's neck, and turned the
greenblack amulet around her neck into ice so cold it almost burned, came from
some … thing. A creature, definitely not Human. Kat stopped a couple of steps
past the entrance, scanning her surroundings. Miguelito's had gone lavish in
Christmas decorations: arrangements of poinsettias on every Spanish-tiled table
in sight, bright-colored pinatas around the bar at the far end of the room, a
six-pointed star of Magic-enhanced light strands hanging from the ceiling in
the room's center, with more light strands radiating outward toward the walls
in a simulation of starlight.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> And
overriding everything, the decorations, murals on the walls – everything –<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> That
sensation prickling at the nape of Kat's neck, that feeling of being watched by
something dark and malevolent.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> “Invisible,”
Tevis murmured, his gaze meeting hers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Not
her imagination then. He felt it too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> He
nodded, as though in response to her thoughts. A couple of inches taller than
Kat's own five-feet-six, hair a pale gold in color, eyes the most incredible
shade of blue Kat had ever seen, Tevis Mac Leod at first glance could pass for
a late-twenty-something Human. But then you noticed the ears, pointed as those
of a fox, that identified him as an Elf – an Aalfar. One of those beings that
Humans had long dismissed as “fairy tales” and fantasy until more than four
years ago when Portals had opened between the world of Humans and … the Other
Side … the world ruled by Magic and inhabited by all of humankind's ancient
fantasies and worst nightmares …<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Tevis
had been Kat's partner on the Corpus Christi Police Department's detective
squad for nearly a year now, and more recently – her lifemate. Although they
were keeping that part secret for a while yet. The CCPD officially frowned on
its officers … “fraternizing.” A corner of Kat's mouth twitched a smile that
quickly disappeared as she re-focused her attention on the business at hand.
All the restaurant's tables were empty, all but one. She moved toward it, Tevis
close at her side.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> The
two men standing beside the table straightened at the detectives' approach. The
third man, the one slumped over his unfinished lunch, was beyond any kind of
movement.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> “Morales.”
Corpus Christi Police Captain James Harley nodded to her, then to her partner.
“Mac Leod.” He pronounced Tevis' name “Leed” instead of the way Tevis himself
said it: “Lee-ud.” The other – living – Human at the table, Nueces County's
Deputy Coroner Roger Branson, gave Kat and her partner a curt nod. Kat had
fewer dealings with Branson than with his boss, Paul Herrera. But Paul was on
vacation this week.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"> Kat
would've bet her next paycheck that Roger was wishing his and Paul's positions
were reversed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A native of Tyler, Texas, Pat Blair lived for a few years on the
Texas coast, in the Rockport and Corpus Christi area, before moving to
Sheridan, Wyoming, since 1986. Writing as P.L. Blair, she finished her first
book in her Portals series – Shadow Path – in 2008 while still employed as a
reporter at The Sheridan Press newspaper. After taking a short semi-retirement,
she resumed working as a reporter for Sheridan Media, a company that boasts
nine radio stations and a website, sheridanmedia.com, in 2013. Blair's writing
career was briefly disrupted by a – fortunately small – heart attack in January
2016, but with medications and a change in diet, she's recovered and back on
track. She shares her life with three dogs – a basset hound, dachshund/cocker
mix and a “Jack Russell terror” – and a cat. All are rescues.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br />
<b>From New York Times bestselling author Tosca Lee comes a story of love, ancient secrets, and survival. Book 1 in the House of Bathory duology.</b><br />
When you wake up, you remember nothing. Not your name, or where you were born, or the faces of the people you knew. Just a single warning written to yourself before you forgot it all:<br />
<br />
"Emily, it’s me. You.<br />
<br />
Don’t ask about the last two years… Don’t try to remember and don’t go digging. Your life depends on it. Other lives depend on it.<br />
<br />
By the way, Emily isn’t your real name. You died in an accident. You paid extra for that."<br />
<br />
You start over in a remote place with a new name, a fresh life. Until the day a stranger tells you you’re being hunted for the sins of a royal ancestor who died centuries before you were born.<br />
<br />
You don’t believe him, until they come for you. Now you’re on the run.<br />
<br />
Every answer you need lies in a past you chose to erase. The only thing you know for sure is that others are about to die and you need those memories back.<br />
<br />
But first, you have to stay alive.<br />

<br />
The Center<br />
<br />
No one speaks when you enter the Center for the last time. There’s no need. You’ve gone through the counseling, tests, and a checklist of preparations to get the plastic bracelet you wear the day of treatment. The one that saves a life. They don’t need to know why you’re doing it any more. Or that you lied about it all. Just the scratch of the stylus as you sign your name on the screen one last time.<br />
<br />
A nurse takes me into a room and I lie down on the table. I give her the sealed packet—the only thing I brought with me. There’s cash, meds, and an address inside, the one for “after.” It’s a thousand miles away. She’ll pass it to the companion assigned to me. No point meeting her now.<br />
<br />
I’m 21 years old and my name doesn’t matter because it’s about to be erased forever. I’m choosing to forget the ones I love, and myself, in the process.<br />
<br />
They say your life flashes before your eyes when you die. But they don’t tell you that every detail comes screaming back to life. That you taste each bite of every meal you savored, feel the shower of every rain you walked in… smell the hair against your cheek before that last, parting kiss. That you will fight to hold on to every memory like a drowning person gasping for poisoned air.<br />
<br />
Then everything you knew is gone. And you are still alive.<br />
<br />
For now.<br />

Just as Silvio is starting to enjoy himself, he realizes he’s being watched.

It is told from the point of view of Silvio Sanchez, Gin’s personal assistant. It is about 20,000 words — around 70 pages — and is available as an e-novella and audiobook only.

This is a novella set in Jennifer Esteps Spider's world and while Gin and the rest of the gang are in it they are not the star of this story. Silvio, Gins right hand vampire is front and center in this story. While he's been in many of the books I didn't know much about him except that he was a vampire, a snazzy dresser, and as organized as the energizer bunny is hoppy.<br />
This book starts out with him going on a date for which Gin was happy but it is obvious from the beginning that this wasn't going to be an ordinary boy out with boy date. He smells a set up so he tries to get his date Mitch to leave.<br />
It soon becomes obvious well at least to me that this was a setup. And so Silvio does what Gin normally does. He kills them all and lets God sort them out. I bought this book with my own personal money and I loved it and loved getting to know more about the secondary characters in Gin's world. This one wouldn't be a good read for someone who wasn't already familiar with that world. This is definitely not a stand alone story. But I give it 5 stars and can't wait for the next story in this series.<br />

<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: none;">
Werewolf Carter Sinclair is on the hunt. He’s tracking a newly turned vamp, a beauty with bite named Lauren McIntosh. Hunting her is the easy part. After all, no one can hide from a wolf. But once Carter gets the vamp in his arms, his easy mission suddenly goes straight to hell.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: none;">
One taste, one bite that should never have happened…and Carter is hooked—mind, body, soul. Nature has plans for him and Lauren. They’re to be mates, but a vicious vamp is waiting in the dark—a killer who has already claimed Lauren as his.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: none;">
Now Carter has a new mission—keep Lauren safe at all costs. Make her fall for him. And hide all of the very dark and dangerous secrets that fill his closet. He needs Lauren to trust him, he needs her to stay with him, and the last thing he wants is for Lauren to know just how deeply he’s already betrayed her. What she never knows can’t hurt her, right?</div>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;">
<div style="color: #666666; font-size: 14px;">
Their mating is forbidden, but Carter is about to break every werewolf and vamp rule out there in order to claim Lauren. And those fools who try to get in his way will find out just how deadly his beast can truly be…because there is no one in the world more important to a wolf…than his mate.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-size: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-size: 14px;">
I love this book. Carter is a badass and he has an a serious problem. He is a werewolf who has a serious Jones for vamp blood. He has had since he had to save his pack leaders mate. But when he is hired to get Lauren and bring her back to her "mate" he figures out rather quickly that her blood is the cure for his little problem because she is in all actuality his mate. </div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-size: 14px;">
But when she finds out he has already betrayed the crap will hit the fan. And he will have to figure out to protect her and get rid of the bad guy all the while groveling for her forgiveness.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-size: 14px;">
Lauren is an amazing heroine. She is caught is a bad situation what with the bad guy hunting. He is one bad dude. but she isn't cowed by him. She is a fighter.</div>
<div style="color: #666666; font-size: 14px;">
But this is a Cynthia Eden book so of course there is a happy ending. And this is a darn fine read. I give this one 5 stars and if you've not read this series of hers and you love PNR then what are you waiting on. I was giving this book for consideration of a review which in no way influenced my opinion of this book.</div>

<b>Kiss of the Winter Moon</b><br />
<b>(Sakana Series, Bk #1)<br />by Amanda LeMay<br /><br />Blurb: </b><br />
I had a life plan: Get out of San Francisco. Go home. Start my new job.<br />
<br />
I wanted to get on with my life. Howl at the moon. Let my wolf side run wild and free.<br />
<br />
But when I stopped in Comfort, Texas, to spend a quiet 2-week vacation with family, all of my best-laid plans came to a screeching halt.<br />
<br />
I didn’t plan for Dain Louvel. Okay, so maybe I’d secretly hoped to see him, again, but I didn’t expect all those feelings I’d felt for him before to come rushing back and blindside me. I'd moved on. Or so I thought.<br />
<br />
The problem is, I didn’t plan on the sakana bond, that rare and precious bond between mates, to connect our minds, bodies, and souls.<br />
<br />
I also hadn't planned on fighting for my life.<br />
<br />
But, yeah, stuff happens in Comfort, Texas. I really should've planned better.<br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
quickly glanced around my immediate surroundings and found the pipes my arms
were strapped to had once been an old breeding stall, off to the side of a
ramshackle barn. They would have been buried deep and anchored with concrete.
Leather straps lined with lamb’s wool were buckled tightly around both of my
wrists and I was sure the same thing had my legs spread and secured. If Bobby
wanted to hurt me, it wasn’t through these cuffs. I looked down; three bales of
hay stacked one on top of the other held me up off the ground. Damn. Even with
my extra wolf strength, there was no way I’d ever pull the pipes from the
ground.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
was definitely trapped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The
barn reeked of blood and death and decay. Humans had bled in this place. How
many, there was no way of knowing, but there were multiple scents, not only of
blood, but of rotting flesh buried under layers of earth. The stench of the
horrific acts of a sick mind permeated the soil beneath me and I was sure if
I’d swept away the litter of loose hay, I’d find the ground darkly stained. The
sickening, sweet odor of dried blood seemed to hang in the air—soaking into my
skin, twisting my insides, until the urge to vomit was so strong it took all my
willpower keep it down.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong>Alien Retribution </strong><br />
<strong>Sadie Carter</strong><br />
(Zerconian Warriors, #13)<br />
Publication date: March 22nd 2018<br />
Genres: Adult, Romance, Science Fiction<br />
<blockquote>
<span id="freeText17703408850233374847">Since the day his family was murdered, Boris has been obsessed with vengeance. The last thing he needs in his life is a mate. Besides, what sort of female would want a scarred, crippled male who has taken a vow of silence? Nope, there is no room in his life for a female.</span><br />
Then he meets Nassir.</blockquote>
<br />
Beautiful. Fragile. Distant. He wants to break through the barriers she keeps erecting to discover the real woman inside. Which might be easier if he wasn’t constantly pulling her out of danger.<br />
On the run, hunted, and alone, Nassir knows she only has herself to rely on.<br />
Until Boris comes back into her life. The dark one. The silent, watchful bodyguard whose gaze heats her from the inside out and whose touch drives her insane.<br />
If only she knew whether he truly cared about her or just enjoyed kissing her. Then she might find the sort of happiness she’d been searching for her whole life.<br />

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
<br />
“No! Get away from her!” She forced herself to her feet, plastering a fierce look on her face, trying to ignore the weakness invading her body. She pointed away from them. “Go! Get away.”<br />
“But ssshe tasste ssso good.”<br />
Oh no. No way.<br />
She took a step closer to the creature. “She does not taste good. She tastes like fresh flooga poop.” And Nassir should know how bad that tasted.<br />
“I think I’ve just been insulted.” Nassir made the mistake of moving her gaze off the creature to Zoey as the other woman sat, holding her hand to her head with a groan. “I know you’re just trying to defend me, but really? Flooga poo? God, I have a killer headache. Hope I had an amazing good night to go with this thumping headache. Too much Sola?”<br />
Suddenly, Nassir realized that rather than moving on, the creature had decided to try his luck and lick Zoey again while Nassir’s attention was elsewhere.<br />
“Eww, gross. Bad lizard, bad!” Zoey smacked her hand against the tongue. “Bad boy! Zoey is not a treat! Zoey is a person and she doesn’t like to be licked. Well, I guess that’s not entirely true, but an Empress isn’t allowed to be crude.”<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">Sexy shifter passion is awakened when two
unlikely lovers are challenged by secrets, danger and an unstoppable need to
claim one's mate…</span><span style="color: black; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: black;">For human Amy Francis, the secluded
cabin in Deep Creek is the haven she needs to map out a fresh new start. She
never expected her heart to be reawakened by a distraction like Griff Martin,
commanding yet gentle, too ferociously sensual to ignore. It's clear that
patrolling the forest is more than a job to Griff—it's a means of survival. But
what Amy doesn't realize is she's reawakened the beast <i>within him.</i></span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-themecolor: text1;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Griff's dormant hunger is stirred by this
intoxicating woman…and threatened by the secret she must never learn.
Duty-bound to defend his bear clan against an avenging pride of lion shifters,
Griff's entire world is upended when he meets Amy. His animal need to claim his
mate has taken hold, but that very desire could seal her fate as an unwitting
pawn in battle.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Now, as a shifter war looms, Griff must decide
between letting Amy go or following his most carnal instincts. To have her
would change his life…but risk everything he knows and was born to protect.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: black;">Olivia, born blind and without the ability to
shift, yearns to seek her own fate away from her watchful and devoted wolf
pack. Vulnerable and stuck in human form, she's alone and at risk in the
forest's brutal winter when she's rescued by a park ranger and taken to his
cabin in Deep Creek. By the warmth of a crackling fire, she's comforted by his
presence. But it's his rugged scent that stirs something in her she's never
felt before. </span><span style="color: black; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Bear shifter Powell sensed the instant he held
her that Olivia was his mate. He also knew she had the untapped powers to
discover her true shifting nature—if only he could convince her to trust in
him, and to believe in herself. Now the one thing that stands to threaten their
healing mating hunger is Olivia's distrusting and vigilant pack. A pack
prepared to do anything to get her back. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">But there is no danger as strong, no desire so
liberating as what Powell is bringing out in her—because Olivia can finally see
where her destiny lies. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
For Marco, heir to the lions' throne, seizing control of the Cave of
Whispers from the bear clan is more than just a quest—it's fulfilling the
legacy of his breed. But the latest crusade has left Marco gravely wounded in
enemy territory and in the hands of Alicia, healer for the bears. An
irresistibly sensuous adversary, Alicia presents a serious problem. She carries
the scent of a mate. <o:p></o:p><br />
Drawn to this dominant master of his den, Alicia knows her allegiance has been
compromised. His brooding sexuality is testing her defenses, but falling in
love with Marco means falling in league with a rival shifter. And turning her
back on the bears in a time of war is a lethal move. <o:p></o:p><br />
Two breeds united by destiny could inspire a peaceful new future for their
opposing clans—or ignite the fiercest battle yet and destroy all of Deep Creek
forever. <o:p></o:p><br />

<br />
Priest Rahandras has lived with the darkness trapped inside himself for years. Betrayed by his own brother and forced to watch his clan’s brutal annihilation, the only thing Priest wants more than to escape the curse that haunts him—as both man and beast—is to rebuild.<br />
<br />
Until the mate he’s longed for walks into his life with an elder from his past. She’s everything he’s wished for, and the key to the clan’s very survival.<br />
<br />
Kateri Falsen is a woman of logic and facts. While Priest’s cat can sense her arousal, telling her they’re fated won’t be enough. He’ll have to show her his love: with his words, with his actions, and with his body.<br />
<br />
Protecting Kateri from the evil trapped inside him is paramount. But when lost clan members are systematically murdered, he’ll have to choose between exposing his mate to his black magic, or risking her as the next victim.<br />

<br />
Warmth blossomed beneath Katy’s skin, the all-too-vivid memory of how Priest’s muscles had felt beneath her palms and how his presence had enveloped her in a protective cocoon lifting to the height of her awareness.<br />
And his scent. She pressed her knees together under the table and fought back a groan. She could still smell him on her. A mix of summer storm, leather and the deepest woods. Her voice came out softer, when she answered. Deep and husky. “That’s just attraction. A chemical response in the body.”<br />
Jade grinned. “Is it?”<br />
She’s mine.<br />
The remembered words sluiced through her in the most exotic caress. Possessive at a level she both craved and railed against. She cleared her throat and laced her fingers together on the table, forcing a detached expression. “Priest said I was his before we left. What did he mean by that?”<br />
Jade looked to Tate, a request for guidance without a word spoken.<br />
Tate shook his head. “I can’t know for sure.”<br />
“But you think you know.”<br />
He hesitated, glanced at Alek as if gauging how well his temper was holding, then shifted his compassionate amber gaze back to Katy. “It’s not up to me to share. Priest will tell you.”<br />
“But the way he acted...how he lost control,” Katy pressed. “Surely, you can see why I want answers.”<br />
For the longest time, Tate merely studied her, consideration and concern marking his handsome features. “I do. It’s still something he should talk to you about, but I will tell you this.” He paused as though carefully considering his words, not just for her but for her brother who’d drawn scarily motionless beside her. “Of all the people who walk this Earth, there is no one safer than you.”<br />

in jeans, a button-down, and Fox sandals. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">I
don’t like to vacation. I love working. If I don’t love a job, I very quickly
get out of it and move on. I get my travel fix by booking jobs and moving to
new places. You can tell I’ve lived all over just from reading my books. The <i>Mobious’ Quest</i> series takes place in
Kaveg (inspired by Amsterdam), Chicago, and Denver. <i>WereHuman</i> is in the Pacific Northwest. The <i>Killer on Call</i> books have been set in a small town inspired by the
many diverse college towns I’ve toured to with four productions and they’re
going on the road in the next six books!
<i>Shifter School</i> takes me back
to my adopted hometown, Chicago! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">I
guess I can blame my Navy parents for my wanderlust. I was born in Rhode
Island. Six months later we moved to Maine. Six years later we moved to Ohio.
When I was sixteen, we moved to Illinois. (1 week after I got my driver’s
license, I drove to Illinois and had to take driver’s ed all over again!) Once
I got out of college, I really started travelling. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Here
are my six favorite homes:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Amsterdam,
NL! After three grueling days of
auditioning, Pep Rosenfeld himself invited me to play with Boom Chicago in
Amsterdam. I spent every day making people laugh. I got to work with Allison
Silverman (<i>The Colbert Report, The
Unbreakable Kimmy Shmidt, Portlandia</i>), Greg Scott Shapiro (<i>Superburger, How to Be Orange</i>), Peter
Grosz (<i>Late Night, Veep, The President
Show</i>), and Seth Meyers (<i>Late Night
with Seth Meyers</i>). Plus, I got to LIVE IN AMSTERDAM! Every American should
live outside of this country for a little while. I loved Amsterdam. I loved
getting around on bicycle and learning a new language. I wrote much of my first
book, <i>Geoffrey’s Queen</i>, in Amsterdam
and most of the Kavegan language comes from Dutch. Kaveg MEANS Go away.</span></li>
<li><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Chicago,
IL I was not born there. I didn’t live
there for very long. But when someone asks, I call Chicago my hometown. I lived
in Rogers Park when The Matrix came out. The Wachowskis lived in Rogers Park
when they wrote it! For one year, my cousin and I lived in separate studios on
the same street right behind The Green Mill. Every Wednesday we went swing
dancing there. One night, the band didn’t like the boys we were dancing with,
so after their second set, they walked Julia and I home! It’s just a friendly
town with tons of amazing experimental theater. If my mother-in-law didn’t live
there, I’d move back in a heartbeat.</span></li>
<li><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Harrisburg,
PA I didn’t spend a LOT of time in this
adorable little town with THE BEST breakfast spot anywhere. Which is extra hard
to achieve when the smelliest business in town is the dog food factory. This is
where we were based when I performed 14 roles in three Shakespeare-era shows
with ten other actors, travelling the continent in three tiny vehicles.
Shenandoah Shakespeare! A true adventure.</span></li>
<li><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Kennebunk,
ME Best place to spend the first six
years of your life. We lived on the beach. I have probably eaten a truckload of
sand. You had to hold on tight to your PB&J to keep it from the seagulls
and sometimes they knocked you down. I don’t actually remember even attempting
to brush off my sandwiches. Perhaps the sand is why I only eat SuperChunk
peanut butter. My friends tell me about the joy of getting to go to McDonalds
as a kid! My family went to the Maine Snack Bar. I’d get fried clams and French
fries and then go next door for a Dilly Bar. On specialish occasions, we’d go
to Shadrack and Gooch and get my idea of a happy meal. Lobster. Lobsters come
with a toy too. If you take the claws off carefully, you can pull on the tendon
to make the claw open and close.</span></li>
<li><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Lake
George, NY My first job out of college
was dancing as a CanCan girl in upstate New York. The Great Escape in Lake
George. An AWFUL job where I met some FABULOUS people. Upstate New York is just
stunningly gorgeous but I am grateful I moved away before winter hit. The
producers told me I wouldn’t need a car so I ended up rollerblading three miles
to and from work every day through the Adirondack Mountains. I left that job
with THE best ass.</span></li>
<li><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; text-indent: -0.25in;">Los
Angeles, CA I moved West for Sex
Signals, an absolutely stunningly funny and effective show aimed at preventing
rape. I will forever be honored that I got to perform in this show with three
of the most talented and passionate humans on earth. There are parts of L.A.
that are exactly how you see it in movies and on TV. But there are also a
hundred different little neighborhoods with their own personality. No one could
explore them all. But we’ll keep working our way through the little local dives
until I figure out where to go next.</span></li>

Her father, Chancellor of the Third Quadrant of Akila, refuses to use his power to help them. Frightened but determined, Jul secretly searches for transportation to bring some of the children to a newly-colonized planet.</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><br /><br /><span style="color: #333333;">Marc Prejean is an out-of-work, out-of-money Earth starpilot living on the land of his Cajun ancestors.

His desperate situation, the betrayal of his wife and brother, the loss of his starpilot license, and his stolen six years have left Marc angry and withdrawn.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: #333333;">Marc and Jul begin a journey of agonizing mistrust, smoldering sexual desire, and the shared goal of safeguarding the twelve children. Pursued by ruthless adversaries on both sides of the law, they soon realize they are delivering the children into even greater danger.</span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><span style="color: #333333;"><br /></span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In the last battle for Camelot, Merlin had to make a terrible choice. Now he must pay the price. When a demon from his past reappears, she wants nothing more than to destroy the wizard.

Ways that push the forbidden desire Clary and Merlin share into heated play…<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Clary jolted awake.
Power surged through her body, painful and suffocating. Her spine arched into
it—or maybe away from it, she wasn’t sure. Merlin had one hand on her side and
the other on her chest, using his magic like a defibrillator. The sensation
hammered her from the inside while every hair on her body stood straight up.
When he released her, she sagged in relief. A drifting sensation took over, as
if she were a feather in an updraft.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Merlin’s fingers
went to her neck, checking for a pulse. His hands were hot from working spells,
the touch firm yet gentle. In her weakened state, Clary shivered slightly,
wanting to bare her throat in surrender. She was a sucker for dark, broody
masculinity and he projected it like a beacon. All the same, Clary sucked in a
breath before he got any big ideas about mouth-to-mouth. If Merlin was going to
kiss her, she wanted wine and soft music, not blood and the dirty workshop
floor.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Another bolt of
power, more pain, another pulse check. Clary managed a moan, and she heard the
sharp intake of Merlin’s breath. His hand withdrew from her pulse point as she
forced her eyes open. He was staring down at her with his peculiar amber eyes,
dark brows furrowed in concern. She was used to him prickly, arrogant or
sarcastic, but not this. She’d never seen that oddly vulnerable expression
before—but it quickly fled as their gazes met.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“You’re alive.” He
said it like a fact, any softness gone.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Yup.” Clary
pushed herself up on her elbows. She hurt all over. “What was that?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“A demon.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I got that much.”
Clary held up her arm, peering through the rents in her jacket where the
demon’s claws had slashed. Merlin’s zap of power had stopped the bleeding, but
the deep scratches were red, puffy and hurt like blazes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Demon claws are
toxic.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Got that, too.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I can put a salve
on the wound, but you’d be smart to have Tamsin look at it,” Merlin said. “Your
sister is a better healer than I am.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“She’s better than
anybody.” Clary said it with the automatic loyalty of a little sister, but it
was true. “She’s got a better bedside manner, too.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Merlin raised a
brow, his natural arrogance back in place. “Just be glad you’re alive.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">She studied
Merlin, acutely aware of how much magic he’d used to shut the demon down. He
looked like a man in his early thirties, but there was no telling how old he
actually was. He was lean-faced with permanent stubble and dark hair that
curled at his collar. At first glance, he looked like a radical arts professor
or dot-com squillionaire contemplating his next disruptive innovation. It took a
second look to notice the muscular physique hidden by the comfortable clothes.
Merlin had a way of sliding under most radars, but Clary never underestimated
the power he could pluck out of thin air. She was witch born, a member of the
Shadowring Coven, but he was light years beyond their strongest warlocks.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">That strength was
like catnip to her—although she’d never, ever admit that out loud. “What were
you doing?” she demanded, struggling the rest of the way to a sitting position.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I was watching
the demons through a scrying portal when you interrupted me.” His tone was
precise and growing colder with every syllable. Now that the crisis was over,
he was getting angry.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“The she-demon
tried to kill me.” Clary’s insides hollowed as the words sank home. Dear goddess,
she did kill me! And Merlin had brought her back before a second had passed—but
it had happened. Her witch’s senses had felt it happen. The realization left
her light-headed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“She doesn’t get
to have you,” he said in a low voice.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Their gazes
locked, and something twisted in Clary’s chest. She’d been hurt on Merlin’s
watch, and he was furious. No, what she saw in his eyes was more than icy
anger. It was a heated, primal possessiveness that came from a far different
Merlin than she knew. Clary’s breath stopped. Surely she was misreading the
situation. Death and zapping had scrambled her thoughts. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I shouldn’t have
walked in on you.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“No, you shouldn’t
have,” he said in a voice filled with the same mix of ice and fire. “You’d be a
better student of magic if you paid attention. You asked me to teach you proper
magic and not the baby food the covens use. Real magic is deadly.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Abruptly, he stood
and crossed the room to kick a shard of agate against the wall. It bounced with
a savage clatter. Clary got to her feet, her knees wobbling. He spun and
stormed back to her in one motion, moving so fast she barely knew what was
happening. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">He took her by the
shoulders, the grip rough. “Don’t ever do that again!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">And then his mouth
crushed hers in a hard, angry kiss. Clary gasped in surprise, but there was no
air, only him, and only his need. She rose slowly onto her toes, the gesture
both surrender and a desire to hold her own. She’d been kissed many times
before, but never consumed this way. His lips were greedy and hot with that
same confusing array of emotions she’d seen a moment ago. Anger. Fear.
Possession. Protectiveness.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Volatile. That was
the word she’d so often used in her own head when thinking about him. Volatile,
though he kept himself on a very short chain. Right now that chain had slipped.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<strong>Nikki Jefford</strong><br />
(Wolf Hollow Shifters, #2)<br />
Publication date: February 13th 2018<br />
Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance<br />
<blockquote>
A FEMALE GUARDING HER HEART . . .</blockquote>
Hot-tempered, agile, and jaded, Jordan spurns the match her father is pushing between her and the swaggering mammoth, Raider. She’d happily let one of her fawning sisters take him, but her packmates are taking bets on who Raider will ultimately claim. Jordan wants nothing to do with the insufferable beast . . . until he saves her life.<br />
A MALE CARRYING THE WEIGHT OF HIS PACK . . .<br />
All brawn and no brains, that’s what most male shifters think when they see Raider. The females treat him as a strong, attractive prize they want to sink their claws into. Only one female avoids him, which is fine with him until they are paired up for patrol. The hot-blooded she-wolf doesn’t have to like him, but she’ll have to find a way to perform her duties.<br />
ENTANGLED IN A WEB OF DECEIT . . . AND DESIRE<br />
When Jordan’s life is threatened, along with several packmates, the mating games take a dangerous turn.<br />
Something sinister is happening in Wolf Hollow and outside forces threaten the impassioned bond forming between two shifters fated to be together.<br />

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
<br />
A figure flew around the bend, emerging through the thicket on two long legs. Jordan screeched in surprise when she saw him directly in her path. Seconds later, her eyebrows slashed across her forehead angrily as she regained her composure. As Raider shifted, crouched on the ground, she spun around to avoid seeing him naked.<br />
Jordan kept her back to him. “What were you doing snarling in the middle of the trail like a mad wolf?” she demanded, gesturing with her arms.<br />
She looked ridiculous addressing the trees rather than facing Raider as he stood and dusted himself off.<br />
“What were you doing crashing through the forest like a vulhena on the attack?” Raider fired back.<br />
Jordan whipped around, mouth agape as though indignant. With her jaw clenched, she shot him an incredulous look that faded as her eyes slid south, inch by inch, as though drawn down against her will. Her gaze brushed over him where the wind did not. It slid down his chest and slipped further yet, to his thighs and the hardness between.<br />
A moment of pride swept over Raider when he caught the whites of her eyes as they widened right before they snapped up and met his. Her cheeks flushed bright red. She twisted around, causing dust to rise around her ankles with her speed. His cock tightened and pulsed at the sight of her pert back end, as though she’d turned in offering rather than aversion.<br />
Normally not one to taunt, Raider couldn’t help himself now. “Don’t tell me you’ve turned shy, Jordan. It’s not like you haven’t seen a cock before… Well, maybe not one this big.”<br />

<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Chère, it’s good
to see you.” Xaephan walked to a nightstand, opened a drawer, and chuckled.
“Your lion follows instructions well.” He stood and inhaled. “He’s close enough
to keep an eye on you. Nice.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“He isn’t my lion.
He’s my friend, and he happens to be a lion.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“He’s more yours
than anyone else’s, Chère. Eventually, you’ll have to confront his Pride, but
he’s keeping them in check, for now.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I forgot what I’d
intended to say when he lifted a paddle and flogger from the drawer, followed
by a large glass butt plug and a worn leather strap.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The first three
items were obviously new, but the strap wasn’t, and I eyed it a few seconds
while I tried to figure out how to word my question. “The strap has a story. I
want to hear it before you use it on me.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“It belongs to
your lion and is on loan to me for the evening.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I shook my head.
“No. I don’t know what you hope to accomplish by using something of Nathan’s to
whip me, but I don’t agree to it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Nothing in our
agreement says I can’t, Chère. You said I’d have to act in your best interest, and
you bound me from tricking you into anything. I said to find a place I could
spank you and make you scream without us being heard, and I warned you moving
the marks will hurt nearly as bad as receiving them in the first place. Nothing
in that agreement says I can’t use something belonging to the Lion King to
spank you with.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I crossed my arms.
“I don’t like it.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">He gave me a
rakish grin. “Works for me. Our two hours of Earth-time doesn’t begin until we
get started, so get rid of the robe and bend over the bed.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Part of me wanted
to bitch about him being a jerk, part of me appreciated the emotional distance
it created. I stood, tossed the robe onto a chair in the corner, and bent over
the tall bed. I’m short, so I don’t think it worked out quite the way he
intended.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“On second
thought, tiny human, bend over the chest at the foot of the bed.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

than thirty books. She lives with her husband of nineteen years and their two
daughters. When not working or driving young teens all over the place, she can
be found reading, writing, meditating, or swimming. The family’s beloved,
goofy, retired racing greyhound is usually at her side as she writes, quietly
keeping her company.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Her urban fantasy series, Only

different species of vampires, and a variety of other mythological beings
exist.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Candace's two paranormal romance
series, The Chattanooga Supernaturals and The Rolling Thunder Motorcycle Club,
are both sister series to the Only Human series, and give some secondary
characters their happily ever after.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14.0pt;">Her contemporary Safeword series
gives us characters who happen to have some extreme kinks. Relationships can be
difficult enough without throwing power exchange into the mix, and her books
show characters who care enough about each other to fight to make the relationship
work. Each couple in the Safeword series gives the reader a different take on
the lifestyle.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="text-align: center;">(Blood Trails Series, Bk 1)</span><span style="text-align: center;">By Jennifer Blackstream</span></b><span style="text-align: center;"><b>Blurb: </b></span><span style="text-align: center;">As a witch with a dark past, Shade Renard knows the Otherworld isn’t always successful at policing itself. Humans don’t believe in magic anymore, and their ignorance renders them easy prey. So when an FBI contact hires her to consult on a possible haunting in a missing persons case, Shade seizes the opportunity to see justice done. </span><span style="text-align: center;"><br />Her case takes an unexpected turn when an undead crime lord shows up on her doorstep. A bold thief stole the vampire’s little black book of secrets—and he’ll pay a lot more than an FBI consulting fee to get it back. To collect, Shade will have to confront a rogue sorceress, a vengeful wizard, and a lethally seductive fey, with only her wits, her growing magic, and a sarcastic pixie familiar. </span><span style="text-align: center;"><br />Success means bringing a killer to justice and taking the first step to redemption. Failure means a war between humans and the Otherworld.</span><br />

<div style="border: 1px solid #ccc; font: 16px/26px Georgia, Garamond, Serif; height: 450px; overflow: auto; width: 500px;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
My instincts flared as I pulled into my
driveway. The sun had set and it was dark, but the automatic light on my garage
didn’t
come on. I frowned.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Did
you disconnect the automatic light?”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Peasblossom curled against my neck, her wet
dress adding to a sudden chill in the air inside the car. “No.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unease rolled down my spine. I murmured a
spell, drawing a few circles in the air. <i>“Lumen.”
</i>Three glowing balls of
reddish light bloomed to life and hovered before me. I kept one over my head
and sent the other two forward, illuminating my path to the front door. I didn’t
open the garage door and pull in, but got out while I was still in the
driveway, already preparing another spell as I climbed out of the driver’s
seat. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>“Revelare.”</i> My power flowed in a wash of silver toward
the house, probing for any foreign magic. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Nothing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Stay
here,” I told Peasblossom. “If I don’t call for you, go to Mother Hazel and
tell her everything that happened today.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“But
I won’t have anything to tell her unless I stay to see what happens,”
Peasblossom hissed. “I’m not leaving you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“This
might be nothing.” I kept my voice as low as possible. “The bulb may have
burned out. Don’t be silly.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I’m
not silly and I’m not stupid. You think there’s something bad inside. And a
witch never ignores her gut.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A lump rose in my throat, and I fought to
swallow around it. “Please stay out here. I can’t bear the idea of anything
happening to you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Peasblossom gave my ear a ferocious hug. “I’ll
stay out here, but only as backup. I will never leave you.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I waited for her to fly up and off my
shoulder before straightening my spine. This was my house. My village. Whatever
was here, whatever had violated my home, would be sorry. Power rose in my
throat, feeding the spell I’d readied. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Shade,
look out!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I whirled around and spat behind me. The
spell hurtled through the air, and I had a split second to see a dark figure
separate itself from the maple tree beside my driveway. The spell landed in the
grass, the viscous blue fluid of the entanglement spell pooling in the tree’s
shadow. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Such
attacks will not be necessary.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A man spoke from beside me, smooth and
masculine, voice heavy with an accent I hadn’t heard in a long time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A very, very<i> </i>long time.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I turned, knowing I’d
never call up another spell fast enough. I raised my hand anyway, needing to
try, to go down fighting. A hand closed around my wrist, tight enough that I
swore I heard my bones creak. I gritted my teeth and stared into the face of my
visitor.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He was dressed in a suit that probably cost
more than my car. Long white-blond hair brushed his shoulders and framed a pale
face with sharp, graceful features. I couldn’t see what color his eyes
were in this light, but it didn’t matter. I remembered his face. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He went by the name Anton Winters, majority
shareholder of the Winters Group, a company that made the Forbes 500 list look
like a gathering of struggling start-ups. There were whispers he had criminal
connections, that he was former KGB. I knew the truth. And it was scarier. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anton Winters had once been known by a
different name.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Prince Kirill of <st1:state w:st="on">Dacia</st1:state>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A vampire.<o:p></o:p></div>

USA Today bestselling author Jennifer Blackstream is…odd. Putting aside the fact that she writes her own author bio in third person, she also sleeps with a stuffed My Little Pony that her grandmother bought her as a joke for her 23rd birthday, and she enjoys listening to Fraggle Rock soundtracks whether or not her children are in the car.<br />
<br />
Jennifer doesn’t have spare time, but she makes it a point to spend at least one night a week with her sibling binge-watching whatever show they’re currently plowing through (currently Numbers on Netflix), and she ferociously guards quality time with her son and daughter. She cooks when she has the sanity for it—adding garlic to the recipe whether it calls for it or not—and tries very hard not to let her arachnophobia keep her out of her basement on laundry day.<br />
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
</div>
Jennifer’s influences include Terry Pratchett (for wit), Laurell K. Hamilton (for sexual tension), Jim Butcher (for roguish flair), and Kim Harrison (for mythos). She is currently writing the series of her heart and her dreams, the series that has been percolating in her brain for the last decade…Blood Trails. An Urban Fantasy Mystery series that will combine the classic whodunit spirit with a contemporary fantasy setting. Expect mystery, magic, and mayhem, with characters that will make you laugh, cry, and probably stare at the screen with your jaw hanging down to the floor. Well, that’s how they affect Jennifer anyway…<br />

A Star Called Home<br />
by Marina Landry<br />
Genre: SciFi Romance<br />
198 pages<br />
<br />
Jul Kisling's heart aches for the homeless children living beyond her office window. Her father, Chancellor of the Third Quadrant of Akila, refuses to use his power to help them. Frightened but determined, Jul secretly searches for transportation to bring some of the children to a newly-colonized planet.<br />
<br />
Marc Prejean is an out-of-work, out-of-money Earth starpilot living on the land of his Cajun ancestors. Wrongfully convicted of smuggling and recently released from forcedsleep, he reluctantly agrees to Jul's proposition. His desperate situation, the betrayal of his wife and brother, the loss of his starpilot license, and his stolen six years have left Marc angry and withdrawn.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Jul," he began. Trouble was, he didn't know where to go
next.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">She filled the silence by saying, "I'm sorry about the
gamepieces. I don't know why I jumped into Isak that way. I was just...
startled, I guess."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"That's one of the things I want to talk about. Why were you
so startled when I offered you the mancala stones? You seem very... well,
wary... of being around me. Is it... are you afraid of me, Jul? I know we don't
know each other very well--"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"I'm not afraid of you. I've seen how gentle you are with the
children, how patient you are with <i>all </i>of us."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Then what? Have I hurt your feelings?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Her lips tightened as she tried to form her answer. Marc's neck
grew stiff and he raised his head from the wall. Putting his feet on the floor,
he leaned his forearms on his knees. Obviously, he <i>had </i>offended her
somehow. In the painful silence, a tendril of shame curled and burned through
his abdomen. He had accomplished the one thing he had struggled not to do the
first time they'd met -- show her how different they were, how coarse he could
be. It was just as well; she would surely despise him once they arrived at
Iberon.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Marc, please understand."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">She fell silent again, and Marc could hear her breathing, labored as
if volatile words were threatening to erupt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Just say it!" he demanded, unable to bear the acid in
his soul.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"All right, I will." She took another deep breath and
lifted her chin. "I have no desire to lie to you, Marc. It's just very
hard... for me to say this. I think... I think... you're an amazing man. I know
this trip is much more difficult than you expected, yet you've done a lot to
make it easier on everyone else, including me. I'll always be grateful for the
kindness you've shown these children. I dare say they've never met a man who
treats them the way you do, like the precious human beings they are.
Sometimes... you treat me that way. When I was hurt, you reassured me and...
and you told me things about yourself. I felt a connection to you, comfortable
with you. But then -- I don't know -- you stopped looking at me."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Opposing waves of guilt and relief flooded Marc, drowning his
words. He wanted to tell her what a profound effect the kids had had on him.
They <i>were </i>precious human beings, each one unique and special to him
after such a short time. Just as she was special. He wanted to be close to her,
to discover and cherish everything about her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Yet, Jul couldn't possibly love him and forget Gabe, especially
not after only three days. And they were on their way to Iberon. If -- <i>when </i>--
he reported her to the Iberion authorities, they would never see each other
again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"It's the kids, your plans for the kids. I know I agreed not
to ask any questions, but if I understood why you were taking them to Orum--"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Please, ask me anything but that," she begged in
anguish.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Why can't you tell me?"</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"You must trust me. These children had nothing on Akila. I'm
taking them to a better life. That's all I can say. Please, please, don't ask
me any more."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Her eyes were red from lack of sleep and barely restrained tears.
She was in such obvious misery Marc couldn't keep pushing her. His heart could
hear she believed she was taking them to a better life. She wasn't trafficking
them out of greed or malice. <i>Was that enough to excuse her from the legal
consequences of her actions? Was that enough for him?</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"I guess we both have secrets," he conceded. "I
suppose we can work together in spite of them. Maybe we could... be friends
while we're on the ship."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"I'd like very much to have you as a friend."</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Gabe won't feel we've betrayed him?"</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Gabe? No, why would Gabe mind? My friendship with you won't
lessen my friendship with him."</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Friendship? You aren't... lovers?"</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Oh, no, I've never felt that way about Gabe. We're just very
good friends. Like... like maybe you and I could be."</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">He couldn't help it. A wave of elation rolled over him, washing
away a layer of shame he'd been carrying about his attraction to her. He took
her hands and cradled them in his palms. The now-familiar rush of desire filled
him. He ignored it, and knew he would have to stay strong enough to ignore it
repeatedly, because he would no longer deprive himself of touching her. He
studied her graceful fingers and stroked her wrists with his thumbs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">He glanced up at her face and found her eyes were closed. Long,
dark lashes rested against the high, pink cheeks and Marc wondered what it
would be like to kiss those eyelids, those cheeks, the slightly parted mouth.
Yet, he was entrusted with her safekeeping, even from his unwelcome advances.
This was no way for a friend to act. He placed her hands in her lap and sat
back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">She opened her eyes and stared at him.</span><span style="font-family: "MS Mincho";">
</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Marc looked away and said,
"I plan to talk to Isak about him and Min."</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">After a moment, she nodded. "Yes, I don't want to keep them
apart longer than necessary."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"But, you said--"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"I know. But, I had a dream last night... Never mind. I just
realized once you've found someone whom you love with your whole heart and
spirit, spending one unnecessary minute away from them is like... like being in
an airsuit in deep space. You know you have enough air and warmth to survive,
but it's not the same as being in the spaceship."<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"No, it's not the same." The quiet words slipped out, surprising
Marc as much as Jul.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Have you felt it? Is there someone you want to be with, but
you can't?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Marc scoffed. <i>If she only knew</i>. "Yes, I've felt it, <i>chère</i>.
But in my case, it would never work. She wouldn't be interested, <i>comprends</i>?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">"Have you told her how you feel?"<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The conversation was becoming too uncomfortable for Marc. He
needed to change the direction his thoughts were flying. Friendship was better;
he could offer friendship to Jul, and expect a rich friendship in return. He
would never feel satisfied, but at least he would not have his heart wrenched
out again, as his wife had done. <i>An airsuit was better than nothing.</i><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">When Jordan heard Ross’s blood chilling growl, awareness
plowed into her, overwhelming her delicate senses. The lights were blinding and
she had to will her eyes to focus while the sounds of cracking bones and pained
moans assaulted her ears. Her instincts recognized what her brain couldn’t seem
to process, a fight had broken out.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As her vision cleared, Jordan swallowed a scream. The
hostess lie in a heap on the floor, bodies of guards with their necks twisted
and bone extending from distorted limbs were piled high, blocking the door. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">This wasn’t a fight. She was in the middle of a battle and,
thanks to Ross whose’s arm was like a steal band around her waist, she had the
privilege of being front and center.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The nauseating sound of crushing vertebra drew Jordan’s gaze
to the dark figure in the corner. He held a guard off the ground, his large,
black leather clad hand wrapped around the weaker vampire’s throat. He guard’s
neck snapped, his head wrenching to the side when the figure released him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Had <i>he</i> done all
this?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Ross slowly retreated until the heel of his boots hit the
wall. Jordan could feel the chill of the winter storm seeping past the glass of
the window behind them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Who the fuck are you?” Ross demanded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The figure slowly turned. His perfectly black tailored suite
with matching back shirt and tie were a striking contrast to the white walls.
The black paisley bandana concealed his face, the fedora he wore cast shadows
over his features. Thought she couldn’t see his eyes, she felt his burning
gaze.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Oh, god</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">. Was he the man who purchased her?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The dark male rolled his wide shoulders, ready and waiting
for his next opponent. The distant pounding of boots splintered the strained
silence that filled the room. Jordan recognized the sound. More guards.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Who are you, asshole? Who do you work for?” Ross commanded.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The figure shook his head. “Give me the girl.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His deep, rough voice brushed over her. Calming. Soothing.
Enthralling. Jordan began to tremble.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Me. He wants
me.</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"> Fear, hope, and…excitement
quickened her pulse. She knew it was foolish to think this new vampire would be
any better than the slave traders, but she now had the element of surprise on
her side and a chance to escape. Ross would never share that she had killed two
of his men. The dark figure was dangerous, but he would underestimate her like
all the others. Jordan just needed to survive the moment. Ross was using her as
a human shield. If the mysterious vampire attacked, she’d be a goner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“You haven’t paid,” Ross sneered. He tightened his grip
around her waist. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jordan gasped in pain and the dark figure growled low,
“Careful.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Ross laughed. “Worried I might injure the little mortal?”
His hand slipped around her throat, his fingers bruising. “I can break her neck
if I want.” Ross nipped at the tip of her ear.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jordan cringed and craned her neck, trying to turn away, but
he held her firm. Using the only play open to her, Jordan turned toward Ross
and sank her teeth into his cheek.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">With a vicious roar, he shoved her away. Jordan fell hard to
her knees, landing beside the hostess. She tried to stand, but her legs
wouldn’t support her. <i>God damn it,</i>
the drug was still in her system.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Bitch!” Ross seethed. Grabbing her by the hair, he drew her
up. “You’ll pay for that.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jordan spit his blood in his face and smiled when Ross’s
eyes turned pure black with rage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Your death won’t be easy,” he hissed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jordan struggled for freedom, but her limbs remained
useless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Guards began to bang on the door. It wouldn’t be long until
they busted in, sweeping the bodies aside. They would swarm the small office,
kill the dark vampire, and Ross would punish her.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Enough,” the figure commanded, his voice deathly calm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jordan was spun around, her back hitting Ross’s chest once
more. His arm snaked around her middle his finger digging into her hip while
his other hand continued to grip her hair.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The dark figure tore off the bandana, the fabric floated
down to cover the face of his last victim. His long, gloved fingers gently
pinched the brim of his hat. With a nonchalant air and smooth movement, he
flipped the fedora from his head, tumbled it down his arm and carefully sat it
on the desk.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Jordan sucked in a painful breath, her eyes going wide, her
mouth falling open, her mind went numb. It couldn’t be him. He couldn’t be
here. Not really. She must’ve finally lost it. Her mind must have finally
cracked. She blink once, twice, three times and he remained there, standing
just a grasp away.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">He was even more stunning than she remembered. Strands of
blond hair fell across his brow and framed the hard, sculpted lines of his
face: perfectly square jawline, full lips, and defined cheekbones. Crystal
green eyes, threaded with threads of obsidian, locked on her. His gaze was
mesmerizing, beautifully dangerous. Entranced, Jordan reached for him. The tips
of her fingers tingled. She wanted to touch him. She needed to touch him, to
feel him, to make certain he was real, that he wasn’t just a figment of her
imagination. A character created by her brain to help her cope with the
horrific memories of the night she’d be captured. But <i>he</i> had been there. He’d come to see her preform. He’d followed her
backstage.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Gabriel Erhard,” Ross snarled.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Gabriel? Yes, yes! This was the man that had come to her
show. This was the man who made her heart skip. The man that had offered her a
record contract. No, he was the vampire that attacked Boras’s territories and
freed the slaves. He had been her only hope for escape and he was here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Give me the girl.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The pounding on the door intensified, the guards would be in
any moment.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“All those raids on my warehouses,” Ross chuckled. “All the
slaves you released.” His fingers squeezed around her throat. Jordan gasped for
air. Her lungs began to burn. She clawed at his hand, her nails scratching,
drawing blood. Still, Ross held her. “Have you been searching for her?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The black shards swirled in Gabriel’s eyes, darkening the
gentle green and bleeding in to the white until his gaze was completely
consumed by wrathful darkness. Demon eyes. His lips pulled from his long, razor
sharp fangs.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Ross growled, “She’s mine, Erhard!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">The door splintered, the bodies of the incapacitated guards
were shoved aside as vampires rushed in, filling the room, surrounding Gabriel.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Ross pressed his lips against her temple and whispered,
“You’ll never have her.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: normal; mso-add-space: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto; text-align: justify; text-indent: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">His grip on her throat eased as he swung her around. Glass
shattered and rained down upon them, nicking her cheek, her arms, and legs.
They were falling. Jordan managed to suck in enough air to scream.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<blockquote>
Constance Owens has a gift for finding unique items in the most unlikely places, which comes in handy since she buys and sells artifacts and antiques for a living. When she purchases a set of four dragon statues, she has no idea just how unique they are, or that finding them will thrust her into a world of secret societies, men who think nothing of kidnapping and murder to get what they want, and dragon shifters.</blockquote>
<br />
Nic hasn’t survived for four thousand years by letting his guard down, and he doesn’t trust anyone except his drakon brothers. The loneliness haunting him has been getting worse since all his brothers have found their mates. And when he finds the woman his drakon recognizes instantly as his fated mate, he doubts he’ll ever have what his brothers have, because it seems she’s involved with the secret society of hunters who have been hunting and capturing his kind for hundreds of years.<br />

Constance blinked. She heard Abigail scream and some of the men yell. Nic had to be about fifteen feet long, and that wasn’t including his long, powerful tail, which was tucked around him.<br />
He rose on his back legs and released his wings. The spread had to be at least double the size of his body.<br />
Nic was a dragon.<br />
She shook her head. Impossible.<br />
Nic. Was. A. Dragon.<br />
She’d had sex with a dragon. She was in love with a bloody dragon. How was this even possible? Then she remembered what Nic had told her about Dent and how the group he belonged to wanted to capture him and drink his blood. She couldn’t let that happen.<br />
But it was too late. Dent fired at her again, and Nic pounced, coming down over her. She feared he might crush her with his gigantic body, but instead, he crouched above her like some big watchdog, shielding her from any further bullets.<br />
The moment he was inside the circle, something changed. He roared as though he was in pain. She scrambled out from beneath him. “Nic? Nic, what’s wrong?” Stupid question all things considered, but this was something different, something he hadn’t been expecting.<br />
These statues were dangerous to him.<br />
He turned his big head toward her and opened his mouth. God, those were big teeth. All the better to eat her with. Yeah, not a pleasant thought. In this form, she’d barely be a snack.<br />
“Run.” The word was guttural, as though it had been pulled from him.<br />
He’d known. He’d known she’d planned to betray him, and still he was trying to save her. If she hadn’t already loved him, she would have fallen in that moment. Man or beast, it didn’t matter.

Author Bio:<br />
Once upon a time N.J. had the idea that she would like to quit her job at the bookstore, sell everything she owned, leave her hometown, and write romance novels in a place where no one knew her. And she did. Two years later, she went back to the bookstore and her hometown and settled in for another seven years.<br />
One day she gave notice at her job on a Friday morning. On Sunday afternoon, she received a tentative acceptance for her first romance novel and life would never be the same.<br />
N.J. Walters is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author who has always been a voracious reader, and now she spends her days writing novels of her own. Vampires, werewolves, dragons, time-travelers, seductive handymen, and next-door neighbors with smoldering good looks—all vie for her attention. It’s a tough life, but someone’s got to live it.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I didn't think I would ever
meet my one, my soul mate. Fate has always laughed at me and jerked my life
strings to and fro. From being raised in an orphanage because my mom couldn't
handle a young shifter male without my father until I was found by Marcus on my
twelfth birthday to thinking I had found my mate as a young adult. I blame my
raging hormones for that shit show. I had just turned nineteen and she was
beautiful, but that beauty held grasping, greedy evil thoughts and deeds behind
her facade. She was almost the death of me, and when I found out she had been
sent to infiltrate our clan and spy for Hatchet when Ian and Lauren were just
mated, I lost what little hope I had for forever. Almost two years later and
the clan is still trying to mend from her deviousness. And I am still alone, I
have my clan who are like a family. But I don’t have my one. I am starting to
think I lost my chance. I was not prepared for what happened next. Not one
little bit.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I was sent into Fall City,
Washington to get supplies for the week. While there, I visited The Roadhouse
Restaurant and Inn, a small clapboard building that dated back to 1916, and
that's when it happened. Instant hard-on and not just because she was
beautiful, but because she was mine. She smiled at me as she walked up to my
table to take my order and my polar bear rushed to the surface. Yep, a polar in
a grizzly clan. Not something you see everyday, but Marcus the clans leader and
all around giant grizzly is my pseudo-dad figure, and once you are in, that's
it. Your clan, your family. I had to concentrate on holding my polar back. I
got a whiff of her scent, like fresh snow and pine trees, I had to grip
the table sides to keep myself in my seat. My polar, and if I am honest, my
human self, wanted to grab up this vision and take her away to keep her to
myself.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

born in the Golden State on a cloudy Thursday morning in January 1975. She is
now living in the land of the Pacific Northwest. The adventures that come to
life in her mind are finally traveling to her fingers and creating a reality of

<strong>Don’t Rush Me </strong><br />
<strong>Jackie May</strong><br />
Publication date: January 25th 2018<br />
Genres: Adult, Urban Fantasy<br />
<blockquote>
Most humans have no idea that a dark and deadly underworld, filled with magic and monsters, exists. They wander through life blissfully ignorant of the supernatural world around them. Nora Jacobs is different. Nora knows exactly what kinds of hellish creatures haunt the streets of Detroit.</blockquote>
<br />
Thanks to a unique set of psychic abilities, Nora has managed to steer clear of the underworld most of her life. But all that changes the night the most powerful vampire in the city discovers her gifts and decides to use her as a tool to find one of his missing clan members.<br />
As if that’s not bad enough, Nora believes she’s cursed. All her life, people, especially men, have been drawn to her—some to the point of obsession and violence. Underworlders, it seems, are not immune to this curse, and now she’s caught the attention of some of the most dangerous monsters in the city.<br />
Neck deep in an investigation only she can solve, Nora quickly makes as many new allies as she does enemies. Her biggest problem is staying alive long enough to decide which is which.<br />
**This series is a slow burn reverse harem.<br />

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
<br />
“Stay out of this, Gorgeous,” Henry snaps suddenly. Parker helps him sit up and Terrance growls again, but it’s not quite as menacing as before. He must be calming down a little.<br />
“Nora is my responsibility. I’ll take her to my own healer—” Henry’s cut o by another vicious snarl, and I’m scooped up into Terrance’s arms so fast I lose my breath. “Yeah…” Gorgeous says to Henry. “Doesn’t look to me like that’s happening.” If his smugness wasn’t directed at Henry, I might and his arrogance annoying. Instead, the guy is my hero. “She’s still mine. I’ve claimed her for a mate.” Gorgeous chews on this new bit of information. He holds up the blood-soaked stake to examine it in the<br />
light and then points the tip at Henry. “Seems to me she’s not too interested in becoming your mate.” “Not at all,” I clarify cheerfully. “He’s holding me against my will.” Henry glares at me, then scowls so hard at Gorgeous his eyes start to turn red again. Whether he doesn’t like<br />
what Gorgeous said or he simply doesn’t like the man himself, I can’t tell. But it’s clear Mr. Gorgeous loves to irk Henry.<br />
“She’s human,” Henry says indignantly. “Claiming her is my right. I don’t care if she triggered Terrance’s protective instincts. He can’t just take what is mine.”<br />
“Well, <em>I’m</em> sure as hell not going to argue with him while he’s in that state, so why don’t we all head down to the Agency, get the pretty human all healed up, and sort this mess out with the director?”<br />
“What agency?” I ask. “Director of what? Who are you? And…is your name seriously Gorgeous?” Gorgeous grins at me like I’ve just made his entire day. “Can you think of a more appropriate name?” I snort again and then wince. e guy needs to stop making me laugh. “Conceited much?” “And proud of it.” He pulls a leather ID wallet from his pocket and tosses it to me. I’m still cradled like a baby in Terrance’s arms, but I manage to catch the ID. “Nick Gorgeous, at your service. I work for the Federal Underworld Agency. e F U Agency for short.” I roll my eyes at his stupid acronym—though it’s admittedly more entertaining than S.H.I.E.L.D.—and focus on the more important fact. is guy’s a cop. An <em>underworld</em> cop. Like an FBI agent or something. I didn’t even know that existed.<br />
And, I’ll be damned, his name really is Nick Gorgeous.<br />

Genres: Adult, Paranormal, Romance<br />
<blockquote>
Four hunky, supernatural plumbers.<br />
One reluctant, slightly drunk human.<br />
A match made in heaven…or in the bathroom, rather.</blockquote>
My name is Arizona Smoke, and I’m the proud owner of a house haunted by my dead Gram, best friend to a cocktail dress loving werewolf, and apparent soul mate to four plumbers who also happen to be elemental dragons. Besides rippling pectorals, tattoos, and…uh, nice, long pipes, the guys also have control of the elements.<br />
Supernatural law (whoever heard of such a thing anyway?) dictates that since I stumbled upon the guys in their alternate forms, I have to marry them. All four of them. Oh, and apparently one lousy (okay, awesome) night of sex means that I’m an elemental, too—and no amount of magical penicillin can cure this disease.<br />
All I wanted was hot running water and toilets that flushed, but now I’m dealing with monsters lurking in the sewers, supernatural politics, and four penniless (but totally hot) plumbers living in my crumbling old Victorian.<br />
I’m Ari Smoke, wine aficionado, ex-barista, and a girl who is completely out of her element.<br />
Having four hot husbands is nice…but the death threats, not so much.<br />

Author Bio:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>Tate James</strong> was born and raised in the Land of the Long White Cloud (New Zealand) but now lives in Australia with her husband, baby and furbaby. She is a lover of books, red wine, cats and coffee and is not a morning person. She is a bit too sarcastic and swears too much for polite society and definitely tells too many dirty jokes.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong>C.M. Stunich</strong> is a self-admitted bibliophile with a love for exotic teas and a whole host of characters who live full time inside the strange, swirling vortex of her thoughts. Some folks might call this crazy, but Caitlin Morgan doesn’t mind – especially considering she has to write biographies in the third person. Oh, and half the host of characters in her head are searing hot bad boys with dirty mouths and skillful hands (among other things). If being crazy means hanging out with them everyday, C.M. has decided to have herself committed.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
She hates tapioca pudding, loves to binge on cheesy horror movies, and is a slave to many cats. When she’s not vacuuming fur off of her couch, C.M. can be found with her nose buried in a book or her eyes glued to a computer screen. She’s the author of over thirty novels – romance, new adult, fantasy, and young adult included. Please, come and join her inside her crazy. There’s a heck of a lot to do there.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh, and Caitlin loves to chat (incessantly), so feel free to e-mail her, send her a Facebook message, or put up smoke signals. She’s already looking forward to it.</div>

Don't miss <em style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;">Into the Night</em>, the next electrifying installment in the Killer Instinct series from bestselling author Cynthia Eden and HQN Books.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #666666; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 12px; outline: none;">
A mysterious predator seems to be one step ahead of the FBI…The “Profiler” is finding serial killers…and executing them before the FBI can arrive at the scene. It’s up to FBI Agent Macey Night and her sexy as sin partner Bowen Murphy to stop the Profiler…because his work is only just beginning…and killers aren’t the only ones he plans to eliminate…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="box-sizing: border-box; outline: none;">
<div style="color: #666666; font-size: 14px;">
FBI Special Agent Macey Night knows what it is like to be a victim. Years ago, she was targeted by a sadistic serial killer—stalked and hunted and then viciously attacked. But Macey turned the tables on her attacker. She escaped him, and now, she works in an experimental unit in the FBI, a unit that has the goal of eliminating the serial predators who stalk the night. Macey works side by side with Bowen Murphy, and she tries to resist the attraction she feels for her sexy partner. But when Bowen and Macey find themselves targeted by a killer, they must race against the clock to stop a deadly predator.</div>

<div style="color: #666666;">
I must confess the longer that Cynthia Eden writes romantic suspense the more I fall in love with her writing. She always has strong and smart heroines and Macey is no exception. Macey started out as a Dr. and when attacked she decided to be an FBI agent and help others that way. She has issues, but who wouldn't when they were targeted by a serial killer who she happened to know and work with. She's determined that no-one will ever get the better of her again. And she is also resolute in her single-mindedness to stop the killers.</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
Bowen is a strong, smart, and sexy. And ooh lala the sparks that he and Macey put off. They could start a forest fire. Unfortunately Macey doesn't want to get involved with her partner. But when things happen to make Macey and Bowen think that the man who attacked her has surfaced again, they start the hunt. Unfortunately, they find out that is not entirely accurate. And when serials start turning up dead then things start heating up fast in the case and in their love life also.</div>
<div style="color: #666666;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #666666;">I will say that the I figured out the bad guy fairly quickly but then started second guessing almost as quickly. She got me lol. I love that she's beginning to outsmart me as to who the villains. are. I love her books and I give this one 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book and all thoughts and opinions are my own</span><span style="color: #444444; font-family: helvetica neue, segoe ui, helvetica, arial, lucida grande, sans-serif;">.</span><br />
