On the Hunt: The night can bring unexpected pleasures


Four of today’s most intriguing paranormal authors entice readers deep into the shadows, where vampires, immortals, and other supernatural creatures heat up the night...


On The Hunt by Alexandra Ivy
 
Mika Tanner has loved Bailey Morrell, a beautiful Healer, since childhood. But his duty as a Sentinel, a supernatural guardian of an ancient race, clashed with her rebellious spirit. Now a dangerous new anarchist group not only threatens life as they know it—but any chance of their being together again...
Scorpius Rising by Rebecca Zanetti
With a deadly disease spreading like wildfire across the country, microbiologist Nora Medina needs to focus all her energy on stopping the pandemic. Playing with dynamite—in the form of her way-too-hot ex—is the last thing she should be doing. ​But forced to work with Deacan McDougall against unexpected enemies with the seconds ticking by, she knows the explosion is coming...

Phantom Embrace by Dianne Duvall
Immortal Yuri Sokolov was born with the ability to see spirits, yet he's never seen one as lovely as Cat Seddon, the woman who haunts his home and his dreams. But amid their star-crossed love, a new danger may have Yuri facing a different kind of eternity.

Stake Out by Hannah Jayne
Vampire fashion designer Nina LaShay has a lot on her plate—just two days until fashion week and the model who was flirting with her photographer boyfriend is now a corpse in her studio. But when dead turns into undead and dangerous, Nina must find out who’s responsible…before the beautiful baby vamp takes too many bites out of the Big Apple.

Get Wild in the Wildlands with 1001 Dark Nights

RAGE/KILLIAN 
The Bayou Heat series
a 1001 Dark Nights novella
by Alexandra Ivy & Laura Wright
a Paranormal Shifter Romance
About RAGE/KILLIAN:
RAGE
Rage might be an aggressive Hunter by nature, but the gorgeous male has never had a problem charming the females. All except Lucie Gaudet. Of course, the lovely Geek is a born troublemaker, and it was no surprise to Rage when she was kicked out of the Wildlands.

But now the Pantera need a first-class hacker to stop the potential destruction of their people. And it’s up to Rage to convince Lucie to help. Can the two forget the past—and their sizzling attraction—to save the Pantera?

KILLIAN
Gorgeous, brutal, aggressive, and human, Killian O’Roarke wants only two things: to get rid of the Pantera DNA he’s been infected with, and get back to the field. But the decorated Army Ranger never bargained on meeting the woman—the female—of his dreams on his mission to the Wildlands.

Rosalie lost her mate to a human, and now the Hunter despises them all. In fact, she thinks they’re good for only one thing: barbeque. But this one she’s guarding is testing her beliefs. He is proud and kind, and also knows the pain of loss. But in a time of war between their species, isn’t any chance of love destined for destruction?

Kensington / Lyrical Press Paranormal Spotlight



Darkness Eternal
Author: Alexandra Ivy
Publisher: Lyrical Press
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format: Kindle

 

For the Guardians of Eternity, battle is a way of life—whether the plight of their world is at stake, or the fate of their heart…

 
After being held captive by one vampire for four centuries, Kata had no intention of taking another one to the underworld with her. Yet even in the pits of Hell, there’s no ignoring the intoxicating desire awakened by Uriel’s touch…

 
Previously published in Supernatural.

 

For More Information


Darkness Eternal is available at Amazon.

 Review by pearls
Willing to fight to the death to save their beloved, even from the very cliffs of Hell, these two must learn to fight their own prejudices before the can finally be together.  I like the way the author chose a plot and setting that placed the lovers in the worst danger, yet the true obstacle to their mating was their own internal conflicts.  Forced to rely upon one another, a trust is formed that creates the foundation their relationship can move forward on.  A truly happy HEA at the end. 

About the Author

Like most writers, I was born with an avid love for reading. Growing up in a small town in the Midwest, I can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a book in my hand or wasn’t dreaming up wild stories in my head. And when I stepped into my local library for the first time I thought it was paradise. There were so many books on the shelves I didn’t know where to start!

 
Still, I didn’t plan to grow up and become a writer. I was much more interested in a glorious career as an actress on Broadway.

 
I followed my dream by acquiring a degree in theatre and performing for several years in summer-stock productions, but after I married my college sweetheart I decided to put the career on hold while we started a family. After the arrival of my two sons, Chance and Alex, I found myself seeking a new creative outlet and decided to turn my occasional scribblings into a genuine effort to get published.

 
I’d like to say that I was an overnight success, but the truth is that it took years before I finally got ‘the call’. The rejections were painful, but now I’m relieved. All those manuscripts that I thought were the next Great American Novel are now exactly where they belong…gathering dust under my bed.

They did, however, help me learn my craft, and just as importantly, they gave me the opportunity to enjoy writing in a wide variety of genres as I searched for my voice. Which no doubt explains why I started writing traditional regencies under the name Debbie Raleigh and then moved to steamy historicals under the name Deborah Raleigh before transforming into a contemporary paranormal writer as Alexandra Ivy. Now my career spans everything from erotica to romantic suspense.

 
When I’m not writing I love to travel, it doesn’t matter where I’m going as long as it doesn’t include any cooking or cleaning. I also love to spend time with my family who continue to be my greatest source of inspiration. And since some things never change…when I have a few minutes, you can still find me with a book in my hand!

Marked for Magic
Author: Daisy Banks
Publisher: Lyrical Press
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Format: Kindle

 

The witch mark on Nin’s hand is a curse. She has no magic powers, whatever the lore says. But the village believes. The old crone’s wisdom is to see her banished. Ragged and hungry, she must serve the Mage. Alone in his tower, she is his chattel. But Mage Thabit is not what Nin expected—the bright green eyes and supple form under his cloak are not the stuff of nightmares, and kindness hides in his brusque heart. Thabit senses that Nin is more than she seems, too. When true nightmares haunt the land, it is precisely her elusive powers that might deliver them…

Erotically Sexy Excerpt from
SINFUL RAPTURE by Alexandra Ivy

She shoved her fingers into his hair, her back arching in invitation.

He’d already learned her breasts were incredibly sensitive.
“Liam,” she groaned.
“Let me in, princess,” he husked, moving to tease her other breast with tiny bites.
Her fingers tightened in his hair, giving it a painful tug.
“What do you want from me?”
He allowed one hand to slide down her body, slipping between her legs.
“You.”
She released a shaky sigh.  “My body?”

“Oh, I definitely want every inch of this delectable body.”  His tongue traced the tip of her nipple as his fingers dipped between her folds.  “But that’s not nearly enough.  I want your thoughts.  Your hopes.  Your heart.  Your soul.” “Good…god,” she groaned as he thrust his finger into her damp channel.
Instinctively she spread her legs, offering him full access to her sweet honey.
“Most of all I want your future.”  He kissed a path back up her throat, nuzzling just below her ear.  “Does that frighten you?”
