By Marianne LaCroix  <br/>In 1941 Hollywood, B-movie scream queen Estelle Lane is swept off her feet by Jack Butler, the &quot;wolf-man&quot; on her current film.

He must bond with her and make her his before the dangerous demoni scuri forces her to his will.<br/><br/>Lucius longs for a woman to match his animalistic needs, one who could tame the beast he has become over the centuries.

And perhaps more animalistic than he…<br/><br/>Leonardo is drawn to the dark alleys of New Orleans by the call of a dying comrade, only to come face to face with his life-mate, Erin—a vampire slayer. They must find common ground before lust—and love—can rule their nights.<br/><br/>Raife is beckoned by a witch's spell, an entreaty to love and pleasure. He is helpless to resist. Soon, he will find that the magic of Yvette, a French Creole witch, holds more in store for him than one night of sensual bliss.<br/><br/>Publisher Note: Previously published elsewhere as Descendants of Darkness, Vol. 1, 2004.]]>

    <![CDATA[Also included in the Pocket paperback, ROYAL BONDAGE<br/><br/><br/>Queen Naiya Pisces rules the oceanic city of Pacifica, but when the foundation begins to shake, Naiya must turn to unexpected allies for help — the Land-walkers.<br/><br/>Captain Drake &quot;Scorpio&quot; Scopillo leads a geological study of the ocean floor, investigating the possibility of an earthquake that could devastate Naiya's city. Determined and commanding, Drake is normally all business—but one look at the beautiful queen and he's thrust into an internal struggle to resist her powerful allure.<br/><br/>Naiya recognizes Drake as the man foretold by legend — the Scorpion King, the one man born to command her body and soul and rule at her side. But Drake is strong in his resistance, and seduction is her only hope. She prays her feminine charms, coupled with nights of heated sex, will melt his icy heart. For only with the Scorpion King by her side will her people find the hope and strength to survive what the future holds.]]>

    <![CDATA[The Egyptian gods and goddesses must protect humankind, and to do so, they bestow certain loyal followers with magical powers. One of those ancient immortals is the cat goddess Bast. To her priestesses and their descendants, she gives the Powers of the Cat—the ability to shapeshift into any feline form at will.<br/><br/>Dr. Katina Fellini spends her days working for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, but at night she transforms into Lady Sheba, protector of human and animal kind. She is brave, daring and untouchable—except when it comes to the museum curator, Dr. Seth Matthews. One look from his icy blue eyes is enough to make Kat purr.<br/><br/>Kat doesn't realize that Seth is battling his own desire—to make her submit to his passion. When an evil Egyptian spirit is accidentally set free and possesses his body, Seth can no longer resist his feelings. Kat will have no choice but to surrender to his desires, and a new war will begin—the battle between love and evil.]]>

    <![CDATA[Julia Williamson had been entrusted to translate the newly found Roman scrolls. It wasn't until she'd finished, however, voiced the words of the verse, that she realized the scroll was intended as magic to unite two hearts meant to be together. She would never have dreamed there was true magic in words, though, until she awoke to find herself in Rome and facing a 'date' with a gladiator. <br/><br/>The gladiator she was led to had been chained for her pleasure, but Marcus had no objections to pleasuring the lady to the best of his ability. He'd loved her from afar for years. It was that love that had brought him to where he was--the daily battles of life and death of the gladiator. <br/><br/>4.5 Blue Ribbons, Romance Junkies - &quot;Set in ancient Rome, LaCroix’s tale of love, death and intrigue is very entertaining! Julia struggles with adapting to the harsh reality that is Rome while fighting her growing affection for Marcus. Her struggle is matched only by the overwhelming passion she feels for the beautiful Gladiator. LaCroix’s erotic love scenes leave nothing to the imagination—as it should be! She certainly had me waving a fan to keep my cool! Anyone who ever imagined what it would be like to live in ancient Rome—or anyone who drools over Gladiator movies—would be very well off taking time with this quick, enjoyable read.&quot; <br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[Ares was a god sour on love. After a failed affaire with Aphrodite, he was determined to quit women altogether. What good were they other than for sexual release? Even for that, women were trouble, human or immortal. They were all the same.   <p>Until...   <p>June 6, 1944   <p>Belle was part of the French Resistance, fighting for freedom from the Nazis that have taken her country. She felt most comfortable with a rifle in hand, and has earned the respect of the Allied Forces, always sure of her actions when plotting the next mission for her men. That is until Lieutenant Colonel A. Reese appeared after landing on the French shores in the long awaited invasion.   <p>Ares wanted to take part in this war, and he wanted to win. When he encountered Belle, he cannot resist the urge to taste her sweet flesh and make her his. Can he walk away once his mission is complete? Will he be able to let go the only woman that ignited his passion since his heartache from the past?</p></p></p></p>]]>
