Cover Reveal: Predator (The Hunt, #1)

COVER REVEAL 2

PREORDER | GOODREADS

BLACK SOUL, SUFFOCATING IN SILENCE

Severus: demon, incubus, escort–leech. After centuries of scorn from his own kind in the underworld, Severus went topside and settled amongst the secret demon community in Farrow’s Hollow. Located near a hell-gate, the city allows him to exist on Earth without sacrificing much of his demon abilities, but as with all incubi, he must take the life essence of humans to maintain his strength.

Working as an escort, he has been able to keep himself satiated, juggling enough clients to ensure that he doesn’t repeat the mistakes of past incubi—the murderers, the gluttons, the true demonic leeches.

In his line of work, Severus sees much of the same every night: human women searching for surrender, for a connection, for love. He caters to them, steals from them, not realizing that he’s desperate for all the same things.

BLUE EYES, WATCHING HER WORLD FADE AWAY

Moira Aurelia: grad student, TV-marathoner, bar trivia champion—unable to look in a mirror. Not anymore. Because when she does, she no longer sees herself. The person, the creature, staring back isn’t her. It can’t be.

Hair, skin, eyes. Nothing is the same as it once was, and no one can tell her why. Despite her fears that she might be dying from the same mysterious illness that killed her mom two years ago, Moira finds herself getting stronger, too, her senses sharper. Terrified by the lack of control she has over her own body, she retreats, withdrawing from her once active university social life.

After unsuccessfully searching for answers, a frustrated Moira goes after the one thing she can control: her sex life. Twenty-three and still unable to experience a satisfying climax, she schedules a session with Russ Tanner, highly recommended male escort, and hopes for something to go right for once.

LIGHT AND DARK COLLIDE—DESPERATE TO CONNECT

But the night takes a turn from the moment they meet. Severus, expecting just another dull session with a new client, is thrown by the otherworldly creature seeking his services–this strange, beautiful woman who arouses his long dormant demon side like none other. Moira, meanwhile, finds herself face-to-face with a man who can handle her newfound strength–and wears a dark stare and sinful smile like a second skin.

Two lonely creatures grapple with the undeniable pull between them.

Moira flees. Severus pursues.

Desperate for answers, the demon seeks her out–unaware that he isn’t the only predator to have caught her scent.

PREDATOR is the first novella in THE HUNT, a paranormal romance serial. It contains coarse language, graphic sexual content, and a very mild cliffhanger. The Hunt is considered a continuous story containing one novella and three novels, and should be read in order:
PREDATOR (#1)
PREY (#2)
STALKER (#3)

Meet the Characters: Bliss (Erotic Short Shorts, #3)

Reid MTCMeet Reid Jameson, the resident Dom in my upcoming BDSM-themed erotic short story, Bliss. Reid works as a professional Dom, treating upscale clientele to a personalized experience out of his home.

Reid always had an interest in helping people, and started his career off in the massage therapy field. He initially worked in corporate environments, then shifted to private clinics, before eventually working on his own schedule out of his home. He loved the work, but over time found that he also played the part of therapist during his massage sessions. Keen to help people in all aspects of their life, he searched for ways to expand his reach.

His own sexual interests eventually steered him toward the professional world of BDSM play, and after saving up for a few years, penny pinching and scrimping, he went from massage therapist to professional Dom. He steered his services toward upscale clients, knowing they could manage his fees; in order to give his clients the time and effort he believes they require to decompress and unwind, he needed to charge high.

Reid works seven nights a week. In his spare time, he volunteers with local charities, helps organize food drives, and spends three hours a day at the gym. His profession can be very physical, but also demands a certain level of physical attractiveness that he strives to meet.

On top of all that, he attends lectures at universities regarding sexual health and psychology, and tries to stay current on the academic literature surrounding BDSM. He takes his job very seriously, and has given nearly his entire life over to it. He plans to scale back once he hits forty—or if he finds a partner to devote himself to instead.
