1 Liner Thursday - A Bewitching Christmas

 A Bewitching Christmas

(Under Realm Assassins #1)

 

This week’s line comes from my holiday paranormal romance novella—the story that launched the Under Realm Assassins series:
“She couldn’t recall ever being attracted to his type of male, but she would be a liar if she said his voice didn’t feel like velvet across her skin, that his icy intense gaze didn’t give her the most delicious shivers, or that she wanted to know how the Scotch would make his kiss taste."

 


Description:

 Seven years after leaving magic behind for a glittering New York life—and a sexy werewolf fiancĂ©—Analette Dyson returns to Maine for Christmas, only to catch him cheating. One heartbreak, one bar, and one velvet-voiced vampire assassin later, her holiday takes a wicked turn. Cole McRae isn’t one for Christmas cheer, but the curvy blonde witch with bewitching green eyes is impossible to ignore. Their chemistry is instant, their fates entwined, and this Christmas, magic and desire collide in ways neither could have imagined.

Surrender to the Chase (Under Realm Assassins #2)

 

He growled as lightning struck only feet away. “Lynn Ferguson, are you lovers?”

No. No. No. It can’t be him. Please, no! Tears blurred her vision.

“He won’t have you,” he said, pressing closer. “Ever.” His lips brushed against her neck.

Terror and arousal swirled within her, overwhelming her mind. She seriously thought she would pass out. This was too much.

His tongue swept over her pulse. “Tell me, little wolf, what did I say would happen if you ran from me again?”

Why did his voice have to be so damn sexy? He nipped at her pulse. Unbearable heat crashed over her.

“You would bite me.”

His hand moved from her throat to grip her arm; his other hand flattened between her shoulder blades.

“Do you know what a vampire’s bite does to the victim?” he rasped, drawing his fangs down the column of her throat.

She shook her head.

“By taking your blood,” he nipped at her pulse, “I’ll always know where you are.”

He didn’t have to say the words for her to know there would be no hiding from him.

“It can bring indescribable pain.” He nipped at her again, more aggressively, drawing a gasp from her. “Or devastating pleasure.”

The vampire struck, sinking his fangs in deep.

 


 Description:

A year after the tragic death of his close friend and fellow assassin, Ethan Halstead is ready to take up his sniper rifle once more. But his first assignment is nothing he ever expected. Ethan must hunt and retrieve a beautiful, spirited, alluring werewolf.

Knowing no other way to escape an arranged marriage, Fraya flees from her pack. As she contemplates slipping across the border and heading to South America, she is captured by a dangerously seductive vampire who plans on escorting her back to her family. Even as Fraya vows to make Ethan’s mission as difficult as possible, she can’t resist the riotous desire he sparks within her.

But Ethan isn’t the only predator that pursues Fraya. A powerful rival pack’s alpha wants to make her his mate. Will Ethan be able to keep Fraya safe and return her to her pack? Or will he surrender to temptation and claim Fraya as his own?

1 Liner Thursday

 

 Maybe 85% horror, 5% embarrassment, and 10% erotic, she mused as clarity shed light on her memories. 


 Blood is sacred...

When a nest of fledgling vampires arise in New Orleans and begin murdering indiscriminately, leaving their victim’s bodies strewn across the streets it doesn’t take long for the Under Realm Syndicate to respond. Order and peace is priority among the Other Society and mortals must be protected.

Ancient, powerful, and ruthless Cassian D’Amore exists in shadow. As an Elite Assassin, he stalks his prey with strict focus and kills with cold precision. Never has he strayed from an assignment or allowed distractions to alter his course, but his sudden raw need to possess the brave, maddeningly tempting human─who finds herself in the wrong place at precisely the wrong time─threatens his millennia old control.

Whispers circle of a menacing presence that has come to New Orleans, but logical and practical Raelyn Bourchard doesn’t believe the rumors until she meets soulless as stone, dangerously mesmerizing, and brutally erotic Cassian. There is something strikingly different about him. He is dark, daring, and mysterious. Raelyn craves his kiss, his touch, and his secrets. Will succumbing to his predatory desires make her another unfortunate causality in the battle that wages within his strange supernatural world, or will her surrender save him from a desolate eternity?

Review of Under Realm Assassins Box Set

 Novel News Network Reviews 

Under Realm Assassins Box Set 1

 


Review

This was a very well written series of stories that built upon each story.

Interconnecting with each other we meet new characters and keep up with past characters along the way.

Each character meeting was unique and well done. They complimented each other developing a closeness that drags you into the stories.

I loved the adventure, drama, excitement, intrigue, and discovery of each character's life. How they all found their soul mate, the individual lives and trials, all so very entertaining. Each book has its own sub-tropes.
 
Description
 
A Bewitching Christmas


It has been seven years since Analette Dyson stopped practicing magic and headed to New York, where she created a new life, complete with a fabulous job, an apartment in Central Park West, and a sexy werewolf fiancé. She never planned on returning to her small home town in Maine, but when she learns her grandmother is ill, she decides to pop over for a visit and what better time than Christmas? Excited for her fiancé to meet her family, they head up a day early.

Worst idea ever!

After doing some last minute Christmas shopping, Analette returns to their hotel to find her fiancé in bed with another woman. Cursing the universe for her never ending bad luck with men and dreading telling her family about her cheating fiancé, she heads to the bar to self medicate.

Not one to celebrate the holidays, vampire and assassin, Cole McRae, has followed a lead to a rustic town in witch territory. But after a few days of research and waiting for his target to show, he begins to suspect he has wasted his time. That is, until he meets a curvaceous blonde with bewitching green eyes at the local bar. One night with the enchanting Analette could make this useless trip well worth his time.

Their passion is undeniable and unbeknownst to them, their fates are intertwined. Magic and romance will strike on Christmas, changing their lives forever.

 

Surrender to the Chase

A year after the tragic death of his close friend and fellow assassin, Ethan Halstead is ready to take up his sniper rifle once more. But his first assignment is nothing he ever expected. Ethan must hunt and retrieve a beautiful, spirited, alluring werewolf.

Knowing no other way to escape an arranged marriage, Fraya flees from her pack. As she contemplates slipping across the border and heading to South America, she is captured by a dangerously seductive vampire who plans on escorting her back to her family. Even as Fraya vows to make Ethan’s mission as difficult as possible, she can’t resist the riotous desire he sparks within her.

But Ethan isn’t the only predator that pursues Fraya. A powerful rival pack’s alpha wants to make her his mate. Will Ethan be able to keep Fraya safe and return her to her pack? Or will he surrender to temptation and claim Fraya as his own?

 

Wicked Passion

James Stonewoll is an Elite Assassin for the Under Realm Syndicate—an expert hunter and merciless killer. As a former pirate, he thrives on danger, the more perilous the mission, the better and he can't resist his newest contract: eliminate a rebel shape-shifting magic thief that stalks the border of the Under Realm kidnapping and murdering innocent Others. But never did the centuries old vampire anticipate playing hero to a mythical temptress with luscious curves, tantalizing lips, and hypnotic eyes.

Captured and held prisoner, Katya Moro was trapped in a seemingly endless loop of unimaginable agony as her magic was slowly being torn from her soul. A gasp away from death, she is rescued by a sinful kiss and awakens in the strong arms of a powerful warrior whose roguish smile, sharp fangs, and intense strength unlock dormant instincts within her, an all-consuming madness that demands complete surrender.

Gazing down at her, James knew he had to kill her. Dark Magic Wielders, like the beautiful female he’d found, were a grave threat to human society and were not permitted to roam the mortal world. But Katya’s smoky voice and sweet kisses stir a fierce hunger inside him. She is unpredictable, uncontrollable and wickedly seductive—his perfect kind of dangerous. To keep her safe, James will protect her from the magic thieves that hunt her and his fellow assassins until he can find a way to return Katya to her home in the Under Realm.

Can Katya’s passion conquer the darkness within his soul?

A Life Through Books - Author Interview

 


A Life Through Books 

Interview


What is the hardest part of writing your books?

Time. Hands down, it’s finding the time. With two kids under five, three dogs, two cats, a job, and an active-duty military spouse, life is delightfully chaotic. I write in the margins of my day—late at night (I’m a proud night owl), during nap time, or while reheating my coffee for the third time. I keep running notes on my phone—everything from snippets of dialogue to full scenes—and a notebook in the kitchen for those lightning-bolt moments that strike while I’m doing…whatever it is I am doing. My computer has documents titled “Book Title – Pieces” because sometimes I must build a book like a puzzle.



What are your most played songs?

Music is my muse. One song can spark an entire plotline or give voice to a character’s emotional storm. Right now, my playlist is a bit of a genre soup because I’m juggling three projects. Here’s a taste:

Lose Control – Teddy Swims
Dead End – Cal Scruby
Sail (Feed Me Remix) – AWOLNATION
Boss Sauce – Stevie Stone & JL
Ambitionz Az A Ridah – 2Pac
Bad Guy – Falling in Reverse

And because I love a little vibe switch, you’ll also find Rebelution and Chase Rice sprinkled in.



Do you have critique partners or beta readers?

My best friend Rebecca is my rock—she’s my critique partner, beta reader, and unofficial world historian. She keeps my timelines (and my characters) in check. I’ve also been lucky enough to connect with a few wonderful readers who’ve stepped in as beta readers. It’s such a gift to see how others experience your work—it makes the story stronger, every time.



What book are you reading now?

I just finished The Wrath by Gena Showalter (Rise of the Warlords #4). Her writing is so immersive—bold heroes, badass heroines, and worlds that swallow you whole. She’s one of my go-to authors.


How did you start your writing career?

Middle school. I fell in love with books, and soon after, I wrote one of my own. That story became my debut novel, Caressed by Moonlight (Rulers of Darkness #1). I self-published it in 2010 and have been hooked ever since. Life tossed in some plot twists—two kids, three cross-country military moves, and a mountain of change—but I never let go of the dream. I’m thrilled to be writing again, sharing stories that have lived in my head for years.



Tell us about your next release.

I recently bundled the first three books of my Under Realm Assassins series into a box set (yay for binge-readers like me!). As for what’s coming next... well, that depends on which characters won’t stop talking! I’m working on:

Fade to Night (Under Realm Assassins #4)
Caressed by Dawn (Rulers of Darkness #6)
The Darkest Light (Eternal Kiss #1)

Each story has its claws in me in different ways, and I can’t wait to share whichever one claims the finish line first.
