INTIMATE DANGER - Book 1 - from Evernight Publishing
When FBI agent Trent Rossi arrives to investigate a chain of crimes—devastating murders and violent rapes—an inexperienced small town Detective, Charlie, who’s assigned to assist, finds her desire surging for the agent—only to realize he is the primary suspect.
A sleeping threat has awakened in the small town of Nyack. Crimes in the cozy village, garner the attention of the FBI, who assign two agents to assist Charlie in tracking down the sick and deranged perpetrator. Agents Trent Rossi and Dillon Echols work closely with Charlie, but as the crimes progress, dark secrets begin to cloud the air, blurring the line between who is on the side of the law and who’s against it. Being Charlie’s first major case, she’s unprepared not only for the menacing killer on the loose, but also with the unexpected feelings Trent draws out of her.
While Trent holds secrets, disappears at random, and seems to understand their perpetrator all-too-well, Charlie’s suspicions grow along with the pull she feels toward him. Her attraction could become fatal, yet she does not realize it until it is too late.

Paranormal/Fantasy Romance - Justice Demon series
FERAL CRAVING - Book 1 - from Evernight Publishing
"Sometimes life gives you lemons, and then sometimes you use the lemon juice to dig it into someone's eyes."
Meet Bari. Bari likes to have fun. He's the product of an different "type" of childhood where he had been bounced around from family to family. It wasn't as if anyone wanted to keep him going around from home to home, but there was something "inside" of Bari that just down right scared most of them. You see, Bari is different in a lot of ways and many of those ways people just don't know or want to. There's a power, something unknown, inside of him. And the funny thing is, Bari doesn't know of the power, but knows someone or something is deep inside.......waiting.
Bari is a dick, straight up, without apologies, just outright a dick. If you don’t understand just why, then you haven’t read his story yet and need to hop on that right quick. In any case, let me make it easy for you. Bari was born in a situation of anger. It’s all he has ever known and grew up around. Anger to Bari is like breathing, something that he finds very normal in his life. Furthermore, at a very young age he watched his father, who was a demon; kill his human mother in a fit of anger. THAT THOUGHT, the one that shows what he went through as a child, what he has had to realize he also is, and the fact that his father took the one person who meant so much to him, is what drives Bari to push others away. He is afraid to get close, to develop any kind of feelings, and often “uses” people for short bouts of time before moving on. It’s nothing on any one he meets, but simply himself, because he can NOT afford to care. About anyone.
Now that Bari has been pulled from the “normal” life on Earth, into a world that has shown him that the Earth he knew, no longer is, he is having a hard time adjusting to just what his life has been, or what it meant. On top of that, Bari now fears the growing feelings he has for Mackenzie, a stranger from his past. The fact that his inner partner seems JUST AS INTRIGUED with Mackenzie scares the shit out of him. He will push and push, to get away from her, but what he doesn’t realize is the harder he pushes, the more he will test the control he has.....
Bari isn’t human, he’s a demon and he doesn’t realize just what that demon is or even just how big a part of it is inside of him.

DARK & DIRTY, A Not One Night Dark Erotic Romance Anthology
NOT ONE NIGHT by D.C. Stone
One night of pleasure isn’t worth losing a lifetime of friendship. Or a reputation. Or a career. A spot in the social standing. That irritating innocence. Or the always-so-present pride.
…
But it is worth losing her heart?
SLICK by Lea Bronsen:
Ex-convict Luke has been fortunate enough to land a small job as a kitchen assistant, but he’s lonely and crippled by baggage from the past. CEO Roman Spencer also has his share of problems. It doesn’t help that a tough and hot-headed kitchen worker begins to plague his mind…and body. The more Luke runs into Roman, the more his dark fantasy turns into attraction. If he surrenders, his thug pride will effectively go down the drain.
ADDICTIONS by R. Brennan:
Alexis Harrison is a mess. She's managed to blow out her knee, lose her scholarship, and get hooked on pain killers. Now she's playing mule to her dealer, who is her only friend, to support her ever increasing habit. If something doesn't change soon, her addiction is going to cost Lexi more than just everything.
REDEEMER by Kastil Eavenshade:
His family has the wealth and power to give him anything … except approval. Gianni Bencivenni marks his time in lines of cocaine. One lover is the same as the next within the walls of addiction—until his family puts a contract out on his life. On the run with the last man he wants to be in close quarters with, Gianni has to decide whether his yearning for acceptance and love can overpower his need for a drug-filled haze. Johnny "Butcher" Mascagni marks the black sins he committed. Death is his profession and ghosts of the dead haunt his waking moments. His penance for the dark life he's led. Through all the men who have shared his bed, love is a promise that eludes him. When a former lover becomes his last assignment, Butcher must decide if he can set his demons free and open his heart again.
