The worst moment of Micah’s life was when
Ella nearly died in his arms. Her miraculous recovery should have been the
start of their future. Unfortunately, a new demonic heritage, the Shadow
Agency’s corruption and Julian, the vampire who turned Ella, are testing their
relationship. Despite hotter-than-ever sex and a variety of new places and
positions to explore, Micah begins to wonder if a relationship based on lust
can survive for more than a few scorching-hot months.
Ella has forgiven, but not forgotten, the
fact that Micah once plunged a dagger through her heart. Everything with Micah
is passion, excitement and an uncontrollable desire to explore his body in a
variety of very satisfying ways. But as buried secrets, ongoing lies and
murderous deceptions pile up, Ella is reminded that she and Micah’s
relationship was based on a curse. In order to forge a future together, Ella
and Micah will have to face down their personal demons—and prove that love and
trust are more than just words.

Excerpt (Rated R)
I popped the button on his
pants and trailed my tongue over the curve of his jaw. “Does it matter? Julian
can wait.”
Micah growled and spun me to
the dresser, lifting to set me on top. He slapped a palm against the wall above
my head, caging me in. Escape, although I didn’t want it, would have been near
impossible.
“Don’t even say his name. One
day, I’m going to rip out his spinal cord.” The coarse golden hair dusting his
jaw rasped against my cheek as he took my mouth in a kiss that sent us both
spiraling.
The aggression lurking inside
him coalesced. Demanding. Rough. He moved his hands over my body, exploring me
as if we’d not already memorized every inch of each other earlier that day at
the Vault. Mindless to anything except the male body in front of me, I was lost
to all reason.
I threaded my fingers through
his hair, holding him against me. I stroked my tongue against his, addicted to
the taste of him. When I tilted my head to the side, our teeth clanked. Our
embrace deepened as he dug his hands into the soft flesh at my hips and slid me
close. He ground his body against mine and devoured me.
The demon lurking under the
surface made me yearn for it to claim me. Never breaking the kiss, Micah moved
the material covering my breast aside and cupped the tender weight. A sharp
spike of need ran straight to my core. His hands were callused, the perfect
texture moving across my sensitive nipple. The sudden need pulsing through me
was going to tear me in half.
When he released my mouth, I
gasped for breath. The sensations he caused had me clutching the corded muscles
at his back. Featherlight, such a contrast to the frenzied need to mate surging
between us, his lips moved across my cheek to my neck.
“I want your hair down.”
He tugged at a few things and
within seconds, my painstakingly created up-do fell apart. He ran his hand
through my curls. The gentle touch turned forceful. Forming a fist, he tugged,
eliciting another needy moan when my head snapped to the side allowing the
access he desired.
He nipped the scar on the
side of my throat, the imprint of his teeth. I trembled from head to toe.
“Julian may get you tonight,
but it’s me who you’ll smell like. My come inside your body. My marks on your
flesh. I’ll make sure you remember the feel of my cock with every single step
you take.”
Excerpt (Rated PG-13)
I turned my head, searching for the spot
where I’d stood before being tackled. In place of the wall, there was now a
gigantic hole. I squinted, turning my face away from the last rays of golden
sunshine dropping behind the sea of snow-kissed evergreens surrounding the
secluded house.
Thirty minutes earlier and the sun would
have fried my retinas. I waved away the remaining smoke and sought out Micah.
He stood speechless in front of me, his blue-green eyes wide, sensual mouth
open. Under the pungent scent of sulfur mixed with singed hair and fur, I
picked up the faint muskiness of demon blood.
Dark-red lines dripped in a horizontal gash
on Micah’s cheek, caused most likely from the flying debris, but he didn’t seem
to notice. Dirt smudged his bare chest, and pieces of wood tangled in his
shaggy golden hair. The shadow inside me—my feral inner vampire—just as much a
part of me as my fangs and beating heart, preened at the sight of sweaty,
dirty, alpha male.
Lethal. Deadly. Demon.
Mine.
Micah wore nothing except athletic shorts
slung low on his hips, his normal attire when we trained together—something we
hadn’t been doing much of lately. The stark, crimson lines of our mating tattoos
traced his hip, curved down, over defined muscles and disappeared beneath the
band of his shorts. Water dripped from his hair, plastering the dark strands in
clumps to his forehead and nape. Each breath flexed an impressive show of
muscle in his chest and abs. Good to know his assassination attempt hadn’t
damaged my hormones.
I moved my gaze from the trail of hair down
his stomach to the hand he held fisted at his side. The flesh smoldered. I
looked from his smoking fist to the hole where the wall used to be.
I turned back to Micah, used a thumb to
gesture behind me. “If this is about leaving the toilet seat up, I’ll stop
bitching about it.”

Dark Cravings Blurb
Ella Grey's life sucks. A
half-breed vampire, she does her best to pass the time killing demons and
secretly admiring her Shadow Hunter partner, Micah. He's hot, dangerous and
knows it. He'd be just Ella's type if he weren't likely to kill her the moment
she put a toe out of line.
A chance encounter with a
succubus changes everything. From the second the succubus' spell washes over
them, Ella and Micah are helpless to keep their hands off one another. The sex,
when it's not leaving them on the verge of death, is earth shattering and for
the first time in ages Ella is connected with someone on a level she'd feared
lost forever. But a dangerous prophecy has been set into motion, and if Ella's
not careful it'll pull her straight from Micah's arms and into the deepest
bowels of the underworld.
