Kenoe: A sexy lethal weapon. Shinju: Ditto—with more dangerous curves.

Kenoe Hatsept is in a quandary. The handsome elite Seeker spent years training for a single burning goal: Revenge. Now that the object of his attention has been brought to justice, what’s next? Japan, the one place that has always called to him, sounds like the perfect place to relax, search his soul and plan out the rest of his life.

Instead he finds his head, and his hands, full of a woman who’s sharper than she appears on the surface…in more ways than one. And she’s hip deep in trouble.

Shinju Maruyama just wants to keep her profile low and go about her business. But the long-toothed people just don’t want to let her keep her family secrets. It’ll take all her skill with her brain and her blades to change their minds. There’s something strange and irresistible about Kenoe, and it scares the hell out of her. But she just can’t seem to shake him.

For Kenoe, endangering his life to help her bring the bad guys to heel is easy. Revealing his true nature to her risks far more—his heart.

Warning: This title contains scenes of kick-buttery, vampire smack-downs and graphic sex, including but not limited to hot ninja love and culinary orgasms.

For two Seekers of justice, hunting rogues is dangerous business. But not as dangerous as their yearning for each other.

There’s a rogue on the loose, and the Vampire Council of Ethics has just the man for the job. Alaan Serati, along with his team of elite fighters, is a Seeker for the V.C.O.E. The lethal vampire law enforcement assassin is also the most eligible bachelor of Clan Serati. His job: Take out the rogue vampire who killed his mate years ago. But working with a fellow Seeker quickly becomes a pain in his backside. How is he supposed to accomplish the mission if he can’t keep his mind or his hands off of his fellow officer?

For more years than she wants to remember, Tameth Serati-Cole has worked almost every day, side by side, with the gruff and gorgeous Alaan. It’s been hell considering the special bond between them, something rarely developed between mates. But Alaan doesn’t really want her. He’s still pining away for the woman taken from him years ago. So when he declares his need to bond with her, this lady Seeker ain’t biting…even if she’s wanted to since the day they met.

Tarot Card - III The Empress

She is the Celestial Isis. Nature, universal fecundity united with spiritual rectitude. She is fertility, creation, intelligence and activity. Whatever the gender, the Empress year brings you in touch with your need to nurture and be nurtured. She is earth-mother incarnate. The Empress is not just about love: she’s about creativity planted in the realm of the imagination. She is fertile, ripe and blossoming, with ideas, plans, creations.

But know this, my friend - an upside down Empress has a completely different meaning. If the card is drawn by a woman, the upside down Empress can represent that woman and indicate a partial success in regard to something important to her. But, if drawn by a man, it indicates a loss of love. Negative elements of the Empress are tendencies to be overbearing, vain, and using appearance to sway and manipulate.

In Egyptian Voyage, the III Empress is not drawn by a woman…nor is it drawn in the typical manner, right-side up.

Looks like we’ve got a bad guy to put down.

Beautiful genius, Carinian Derrickson, wants to live long enough to date a man from the future generations of spacemen, complete with ray guns and starships. She’s not crazy, she’s just afraid of dying young of some dreaded disease, like all the rest of her family. Her research into gene therapy has shown her the way to extend her life is by emulating traits only before seen in fiction. Vampire fiction. Only the beings that shouldn’t exist are very real indeed.

Unknown to her, there’s a bad boy vampire in the lab next door with a goal quite the opposite of hers. If he has his way, he’ll bring the Vampire Council of Ethics (V.C.O.E.) to its knees.

Jon Bixler is a Seeker for the Council - an assassin and undercover operative in a world of humans. Bix must get close enough to this rogue to find out exactly how he plans to dismantle the Council. And Carinian is just the ticket. But when he meets her, all his vampire common sense flies out the window as his libido leaps off the charts. What’s he going to do now that the woman is in danger and secretly trying to do the impossible?

Bix and Carin can’t deny the combustion of love and lust between them. They accept their mating. But can they stay alive long enough to enjoy it?

Astin Pharmaceutical and Biotech has its share of mad scientists. Someone is using the facility to develop and experiment with unauthorized synthetic substances.

Delaine Jeris, a top investigator for the highly secretive Aegis Group, is tasked with getting the goods on this crackpot who is using his scientific genius to create his own personal harem. Delaine’s Lakota spirit guide, a sleek, black mountain lion named Sapa, aids her in the investigation. After her heartbreaking split from the man she was married to for eighteen years, Delaine is in no hurry to love anytime soon. But when the great lioness meets Justin Cooley, the cat is convinced he is their mate. Delaine isn’t so sure.

The first time Justin Cooley lays eyes on Delaine, he’s dying to get next to her. She is a beautiful, cocoa skinned woman with an enticing mix of strength, class, and feminine grace. There’s one problem - he’s seen her walking around in a secret part of the Astin Pharmaceutical and Biotech facility that she had no clearance to enter. What was she doing down in those labs? Is she in league with the corrupt scientist he’s tailing? Or is she a mole who could blow his case, or worse, his cover?

When Delaine discovers the man she’s given her heart to is undercover D.E.A., she is beyond livid. Has the great lioness, who has guided Delaine since she was a child, been wrong about Justin? Should she kick his butt for not being honest about his undercover status, considering he’s been working her case? Or should she simply shoot him for sleeping with her best friend?
