I stilled. The Dark Shadow felt only pity.

  And that pity was for me.

  I closed my eyes and stopped breathing, but the Dark Shadow is not a coward, and she refused to let me be one too. She inhaled and confirmed the scent.

  Honeysuckle. And sunshine and family and friendship. And human through and through.

  “Kara,” I said. They had Kara. They had Kara, and they were going to turn her over to Xavier. They were going to loosen his shackles, let him go rogue, and give him my best friend to lure me.

  I stood up. Red bathed the hallway when I let the Dark Shadow out.

  A growl percolated up my throat. A scream tore loose behind it. The building shuddered.

  We hunt, the Dark Shadow said.

  We hunt, I growled in agreement.

  She is ours.

  You bet your Dark arse she is.

  I pulled my Light around me. The Dark Shadow unfurled her Sanguis Vitam letting the two powers entwine.

  Together we walked out of the building. Together we hunted.

  The Dark Shadow and I became one.

  The Dark Shadow and I became fury.

  The Dark Shadow and I would stop for no one.

  Odin and his daughters had unleashed the hound of hell. And hell’s Hundr was coming for them.

  But first, I needed help.

  I flashed to Sensations and blew down the front doors.

  “Honey,” I drawled, making the Norms scatter, “I’m home.”

  The Kindred World Continues…

  Want to read Ellie’s story?

  “Wow, I want more!” ★★★★★

  One bite. One drop. That’s all it would take for Éliane Durand’s blood to change it all. But she’s not the only one to realise this, and when her equally as powerful twin brother goes missing, and all the clues lead to a mysterious and compelling new vampire, her world starts to spin out of control. Power. Magic. Blood. Nothing is as it seems, and nothing will ever be the same again for Ellie.

  The Blood Enchanted Series is set in the Kindred World, 25 years after Dreaming Of A Blood Red Christmas ends. It has some cross-over, but can also be read as a stand-alone series. It is firmly in the Paranormal Romance category, but has a strong leaning towards Urban Fantasy as well.

  Gifted with a strong bloodline, and skills handed down to her by her Nosferatin mother and Nosferatu father, Éliane Durand is a force to be reckoned with. But there is more to her blood than meets the eye. And when a Master Vampire hears of her power, nothing will stop him from taking what he desires most of all.

  But Hakan Bahar is only the beginning… for the power of blood enchanted is too strong to ignore.

  This series has two books published to-date and includes the following titles:

  Blood Enchanted

  Blood Entwined

  “I abso-freaking-lutely LOVED it!” ★★★★★

  Genevieve Cain has just one dream in her life and she intends to do anything necessary to keep it. Sweet Seduction is her passion, her business and the most popular café/chocolatier/music store in town. But when her ex-boyfriend threatens her dream, she's forced to seek legal counsel. And the moment lawyer Dominic Anscombe walks into her life, things get complicated and very delicious indeed.

  Sweet Seduction is an Adult Contemporary Romance/ Romantic Suspense Series set in modern-day Auckland, New Zealand.

  The premise behind this series is foremost love at first sight. It does exist, I'm living proof of that. Mix in alpha males who know what they want and when they see it, set out to take it, claim it and possess it - completely - then add in danger, excitement and a dash of intrigue and you've got an adventurous, romantic, knock-your-socks off story.

  Love at first sight has never been so dangerous and so very delicious at the same time.

  This series is complete and includes the following titles:

  Sweet Seduction Sacrifice

  Sweet Seduction Serenade

  Sweet Seduction Shadow

  Sweet Seduction Surrender

  Sweet Seduction Shield

  Sweet Seduction Sabotage

  Sweet Seduction Stripped

  Sweet Seduction Secrets
