As Olivia entices Malin deeper into a world that wants him destroyed, her second thoughts grow into a desire to save him from making a damning mistake. But as the forces of light and dark collide, their lives—and their souls—hang on the one sacrifice that could destroy them both.

Begin the journey with A RUSH OF WINGS. HIS NAME IS DANTE. Dark. Talented. Beautiful. Star of the rock band Inferno. Rumored owner of the hot New Orleans nightspot called Club Hell. Born of the Blood, then broken by an evil beyond imagination. HIS PAST IS A MYSTERY. FBI Special Agent Heather Wallace has been tracking a sadistic serial murderer known as the Cross Country Killer...and the trail has led her to New Orleans, Club Hell, and Dante. But the dangerously attractive musician not only resists her investigation, he claims to be nightkind: in other words, a vampire. Digging into his past for answers reveals little. A juvenile record a mile long. No social security number. No known birth date. In and out of foster homes for most of his life before being taken in by a man named Lucien De Noir, who appears to guard mysteries of his own. HIS FUTURE IS CHAOS.

Heather must unravel the truth behind this sensual, complicated, vulnerable young man -- who, she begins to believe, may indeed be a vampire -- in order to bring a killer to justice. But what Heather doesn't know is that Dante's past holds a shocking secret, and once it is revealed not even Heather will be able to protect him from his destiny... |

Western Wind Series: Book 8
His fellow Reapers had always wondered about Phelan Kiel's sexual orientation. Was he what he seemed or was he simply a man who liked to keep his teammates guessing? Did his desires run to the ladies or did he crave different pleasures, stronger hands and harder bodies? Or did he need both to make him complete? Gunman Fontabeau Sorn came to Robbinsville with a secret he dared share with no one. Working undercover for the Triune Goddess he wasn't looking to be mated; it was the farthest thing from his mind. But when Phelan walked out of the General Store, Sorn's hormones began to heat, his body harden, and Beau made up his mind the handsome young Reaper would be his. Convincing Phelan was another matter. Lucy Springbrook was a Madame and right proud of her ability to turn a man inside out with her luscious body. One look at Phelan and that was all it took for her to decide he was the one for whom she'd been created. Three hearts. Three bodies. Three blazing desires to set the frontier on fire. But only two of the three will find their passions igniting into a raging inferno while the third will be left with a mouth tasting of ashes. Which one will it be?
