TEMPTED BY FATE – Available Now
TEMPTED BY FATE is here!
You can’t cheat Fate…and for the record, she really doesn’t like it when you betray her, either.
Leo is used to having power. After all, he carries the title Lord of the Light for a reason—he’s a supernatural powerhouse and his job is protect all of the “light” paranormals in the world. He’s used to snapping his fingers and getting anything—or anyone—he wants. But when he fell for Fate, Leo learned that power didn’t get a man everything. In fact, it didn’t even get him the one woman he wanted most…
Fate…AKA Mora (that’s the name she prefers to use—a lot less weighty on her shoulders) has spent centuries hiding from her supernatural ex-lover Leo. Most people fear Leo and rightly so. He’s got immense power and a definite date with an unfortunate end-of-the-world calamity. When Leo seduced Mora and promised to put the world at her feet, she actually thought the guy had fallen for her. Too late, she discovered he was just using her in an attempt to change his destiny.
And Leo’s destiny? It’s not pretty. Some very, very bad things are coming for him. Mora shouldn’t care about the danger he faces. She should turn her back on her ex. His heart is ice cold, she knows that, but her own heart…it’s still a little weak where Leo is concerned.
Leo has tried to walk on the side of good for a long time…but his sins are coming back to haunt him. A darkness is trying to consume him, and if Mora can’t help him…then it’s not just Leo who will pay the price for his past. The whole world will change.

BITE THE DUST – FREE ON AMAZON!
Extra note: I have actually put all 3 of my “Blood and Moonlight” paranormal romance novels up on Kindle Unlimited for a short time. I included them because I’ve received so many requests from readers to add more books to Unlimited; however, I don’t like putting my new books up immediately because then that it doesn’t seem to fair to all my readers who like to shop with iBooks, Nook, Kobo, etc. When I have a new release, I like for the title to be widely available so that no one has to wait longer to read the book.
So I thought I could try compromising. I put up the 3 books in the Blood and Moonlight series–as I said, for a short time–on Kindle Unlimited because they have already been widely available for a year now. Additionally, they *will* be returning to all retail outlets in the future.
And right now, BITE THE DUST is available for free to everyone on Amazon (not just Kindle Unlimited subscribers–anyone can download it for free on Amazon until April 5th).
Have a great Saturday!

It’s here! AFTER THE DARK is available now!
It’s here! My newest romantic suspense, AFTER THE DARK, is available now!
Excerpt:
“Jesus, Sam.” He dropped her hand. “Did I hurt you?”
Just seeing him hurt right then. She’d walked away from D.C. for a reason. She sure hadn’t intended to be seeing Blake again anytime soon. Just looking into his eyes made her feel as if someone had ripped open her heart.
The way he’d stared at her…back in D.C. When he’d found her, half-naked, covered in blood… Samantha cleared her throat. “Why are you here?” she asked him again.
“Because I need you.”
Those words were rough. All rumbly. Her eyes raked over him. She didn’t think he meant that he needed her in a personal way. No, he had to mean—
“He’s back.” A muscle flexed along Blake’s square jaw. “He’s doing it again.”
For an instant, her heart stopped. She couldn’t breathe, couldn’t move. And then… “No!” A fierce denial. With that cry, her heart began to race in her chest. Her breath came in quick pants. Even though sweat covered her from the run, Samantha was suddenly freezing. “You’re wrong.”
“I wish that I was. Cameron Latham is hunting again. Playing his sick games. Doing his experiments.”
Her chill grew worse.
“And I need you to help me stop him.”
She shook her head. “You came to the wrong woman. I’m not FBI any longer.” Like he’d need that reminder.
“You’re the right woman. You exactly the woman I need.”
Her body was so tense her muscles ached.
“No one knows Cameron Latham like you do.”
Her cheeks burned. Yes, she knew him intimately.
“You can stop him, Samantha. You can build a new profile on him. You were in his head before and I know you can get right back there again.”
She looked away from Blake and grabbed for the handle of her car door. She yanked it open—
“Unless you don’t want to stop him.”
Her shoulders stiffened.
“Bass still thinks you let Cameron walk. He doesn’t believe that you wanted to put your lover behind bars.”
“Ex-lover.” How many times had she said that? She glanced up at him, knowing that a glare would be on her face. “As I’ve said before, Cameron and I hadn’t been involved that way in a long time.” She climbed into the car. Her hands fisted around the steering wheel.
“Why not?”
His question was so low that she barely heard it.
And since she was already walking on the tight-rope of a whole give-him-hell attitude, she offered her former partner a grim smile. Why not? “Because of you, of course. I met you and didn’t want to be with anyone else.”
His shock was plain to see.
Before he could ask any other questions—questions she didn’t want to answer—Samantha yanked the car door closed. She started the vehicle and headed out of the lot, leaving Blake behind.
She didn’t start shaking until she was nearly home, but then the trembles came, rocking her whole body. He’s doing it again. She hoped that Blake was wrong. He had to be wrong.
Because if Cameron was hunting again, it would only be a matter of time before he came after her.

And…extra news! Harlequin has included the novella, THE GATHERING DUSK—a prequel to AFTER THE DARK in the back of this book. THE GATHERING DUSK was written as a bonus for readers so that they could see what happened to the characters before the events of AFTER THE DARK. I’m very glad that Harlequin has included this prequel novella for readers—some of my international readers were not able to get THE GATHERING DUSK before, so now you can get it with AFTER THE DARK (but just note…Harlequin put it behind AFTER THE DARK in the book).

THE GATHERING DUSK is FREE!!!
I’ve got special news for readers…a free book!!
For a limited time, THE GATHERING DUSK is free at all major ebook retailers.
Don’t miss the heart-pounding prequel novella to bestselling author Cynthia Eden’s new Killer Instinct series!
When untried FBI profiler Samantha Dark is face-to-face with a killer, there’s no room for fear. Her best weapon is her instincts. Those same dark impulses that allow her to get inside the mind of a murderer, to locate victims—or to pull the trigger before she’s next. She can’t afford to have those instincts clouded by anything…especially her far-too-sexy new partner.
Former SEAL Blake Gamble plays everything by the book. Except, of course, when it comes to the increasingly simmering attraction between them. But when a vengeful serial killer targets them both, Samantha once again reaches into the sinister, shadowed part of herself. Even as she begins to fear that the only way to catch this killer is to become one…
Look for After the Dark, the first in the Killer Instinct series, from HQN Books!
***
I am very excited to launch my new “Killer Instinct” series with HQN. For the Killer Instinct titles, the main characters will all have deep, intimate connections to serial killers. The killers could be their family members, their friends, or even their lovers. Just what happens to a person who is so closely tied to a killer? You can find out in the books…
Books in the “Killer Instinct” series published by HQN:
THE GATHERING DUSK – Prequel novella
AFTER THE DARK – Book 1 (Coming on March 28th!)
BEFORE THE DAWN – Book 2
INTO THE NIGHT – Book 3
In addition, there are two Harlequin Intrigue novels that are set in the same Killer Instinct “world” for readers:
ABDUCTION – Available in February of 2017
HUNTED – Available in June/July of 2017
***
THE GATHERING DUSK is a prequel novella for the “Killer Instinct” series…it’s a bonus to show readers the characters in an earlier phase…before savage life events come along and change who they are. People aren’t always good or bad, and you can see that truth in this novella. You’ll meet FBI agents Samantha Dark and her partner Blake Gamble, and you can get to know them before the release of their full-length novel, AFTER THE DARK.
I hope you enjoy the free novella!
