A mysterious stranger in
danger...
The last
thing Drusilla expected to find on vacation was a gorgeous man hiding in the
jungle. But what is he running from? And why does she feel so mesmerized that
she'll stop at nothing to be near him?
Hypnotically attracted, he
will risk his life to have her...
Zetithian
warrior Manx, a member of a race hunted to near extinction because of their
sexual powers, has done all he can to avoid extermination. But when an uncommon
woman enters his jungle lair, the animal inside of him demands he risk it all
to have her. Until he saw her, his loneliness threatened to consume him. Would
she risk her life to join him...or would their intense pleasure in each other
destroy them both?
The info on this book gives away important
stuff from the rest of the series. If you haven’t read it please do.
From Book One
Urban paranormal fantasy featuring Gabrielle
Cody: Servant. Slayer. Seducer.
Gabrielle Cody has the ability to see the
demons among us as they really are-and the responsibility to destroy them. She
can't allow anyone to get in her way, even the magnetic Detective Luther Cross.
Sensing a malevolent presence watching and stalking her, Gaby is drawn again
and again to an abandoned hospital surrounded by an aura of sickness and
suffering-and unimaginable evil.
Princess
Taoshira of the Blue Crescent Islands is appalled when she is ordered to marry
Prince Ramil of Gerfal. And he's not too pleased, either. She is used to a life
of discipline, ritual, and splendor. He is used to hunting and carousing. They
hate each other on sight. But both of their countries are under threat from a
fearsome warlord, and the only chance of peace is to form an alliance.
When Tashi
and Ram are kidnapped, they fear there's no escape--from their kidnappers or
from each other. Can they put aside their differences long enough to survive
ambush, unarmed combat, brainwashing, and imprisonment? And will the people
they meet on their adventure--including a circus strongman, a daring rebel
leader, a sinister master of spies, and the best female fighter they have ever
seen--help them or betray them to the enemy?
From Book One
Kitty
Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station - and she also
happens to be a werewolf. One night, sick of the usual lame song requests, she
accidentally starts 'The Midnight Hour', a late-night advice show for the
supernaturally disadvantaged. Almost immediately she's deluged by calls from
desperate vampires, werewolves and witches from all across the country, wanting
to share their woes and ask her advice.
Kitty's
new show is a raging success, but it's Kitty herself who could use some help,
not least because her monthly change is a deep and dark secret to all but a
very special few.
And when she
finds one very sexy werewolf-hunter on her tail, not to mention a few homicidal
undead, she realises she may just may have bitten off more than she can chew...
Legend has it that Armand Argeneau is
a killer in the bedroom...
But
with all three of his late wives meeting unfortunate and untimely ends, is this
sexy immortal a lover or a murderer? That's what Eshe d'Aureus intends to find
out. As an enforcer, it's her job to bring rogue vampires to justice, even if
the rogue in question makes her blood race red hot.
Armand
knew she was trouble the moment Eshe roared into town on her motorcycle, clad
in tight black leather. She claims she's hiding from dangerous fiends, though
he suspects something more. But after three wives who've all had trouble
remaining, well, undead, Armand is reluctant to open his heart again. Then
strange accidents start to happen, each deadlier than the last, and Armand
realizes he may not have much time to prove he's a lover, not a slayer.
Princess
Lily of Thessalania is a mermaid with an unrequited crush on swim star Brody
Bennett at Seaview High School.
Her neighbor is obnoxious biker Quince
Fletcher, whose accidental kiss bonds them as mates, unless her king father
performs a separation ritual, within days.
Her cousin Dosinia has her own
plans, to advance herself in the royal dynasty.
After her
sister Athena's tragic death, it's obvious that grief-stricken Persephone
"Phe" Archer no longer belongs in Los Angeles. Hoping to make sense
of her sister's sudden demise and the cryptic dreams following it, Phe abandons
her bubbly LA life to attend an uptight East Coast preparatory school in Shadow
Hills, MA -- a school which her sister mysteriously mentioned in her last diary
entry before she died.
Once
there, Phe quickly realizes that something is deeply amiss in her new town. Not
only does Shadow Hills' history boast an unexplained epidemic that decimated
hundreds of its citizens in the 1700s, but its modern townies also seem eerily
psychic, with the bizarre ability to bend metal. Even Zach -- the gorgeous
stranger Phe meets and immediately begins to lust after -- seems as if he is
hiding something serious. Phe is determined to get to the bottom of it. The
longer she stays there, the more she suspects that her sister's untimely death
and her own destiny are intricately linked to those who reside in Shadow Hills.
Live fast,
fight hard and if you have to die then take as many of your enemies with you as
you can. That is the Amazon credo and it was one Samia lived and died by. Now
in contemporary New Orleans, the immortal Amazon warrior is about to learn that
there’s a worse evil coming to slaughter mankind than she’s ever faced before.
Shapeshifter
Dev Peltier has stood guard at the front of Sanctuary for almost two hundred
years and in that time, he’s seen it all. Or so he thought. Now their enemies
have discovered a new source of power- one that makes a mockery of anything
faced to date.
The war is
on and Dev and Sam are guarding ground zero. But in order to win, they will
have to break the most cardinal of all rules and pray it doesn’t unravel the
universe as we know it.
Caleb
Becker left Paradise eight months ago, taking with him the secret he promised
to take to his grave. If the truth got out, it would ruin everything.
Maggie Armstrong
tried to be strong after Caleb broke her heart and disappeared. Somehow, she
managed to move on. She's determined to make a new life for herself.
But then
Caleb and Maggie are forced together on a summer trip. They try ignoring their
passion for each other, but buried feelings resurface. Caleb must face the
truth about the night of Maggie's accident, or the secret that destroyed their
relationship will forever stand between them.
Calla Tor
has always known her destiny: After graduating from the Mountain School, she'll
be the mate of sexy alpha wolf Ren Laroche and fight with him, side by side,
ruling their pack and guarding sacred sites for the Keepers. But when she
violates her masters' laws by saving a beautiful human boy out for a hike, Calla
begins to question her fate, her existence, and the very essence of the world
she has known.
By
following her heart, she might lose everything- including her own life. Is
forbidden love worth the ultimate sacrifice?
