UNTIL DEATH – Available Now

I’ve got more book news to share!

UNTIL DEATH is now available at Amazon.  For Kindle Unlimited subscribers, the book is free! The regular price of the book there is $2.99.

UNTIL DEATH was originally published in the “Sweet Dreams” thriller anthology (this anthology was compiled by author Brenda Novak to raise money for diabetes research). The anthology is no longer available for sale, and this is the first time that UNTIL DEATH has been made available as an individual read.

 

 

Here’s the blurb for the sexy thriller:

When Ivy DuLane witnesses a murder during the madness of Mardi Gras, she enters a deadly cat and mouse game with the killer. The city has gone wild with the annual celebration, and Ivy has to rely on sexy homicide detective—and her ex-lover—Bennett Morgan for help. But with every moment that passes, the killer grows bolder, and the body count starts to rise. It soon becomes very hard to tell the innocent from the guilty…especially since Bennett is keeping dark secrets of his own.

Here’s the blurb for the book:

Everyone’s a suspect in New York Times bestselling author Cynthia Eden’s latest book…  

Mark Montgomery will never forget the night Ava McGuire galloped onto his ranch terrified out of her mind. Once he’d saved his best friend’s sister from harm, the hardest part was letting her go. Now she’s seeking safe haven again—and rekindling desire that will engulf them both.

Uncovering the truth about that long-ago night plunges Ava into a world where no one can be trusted. Except maybe the rancher she has loved for years… But with a vengeful killer stalking them and passion drawing them inexorably closer, will Mark’s secrets be their downfall…?

BEWARE OF ME – Available now!

Ethan’s book is out now!

 

 

 

Walk on the wild side with New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cynthia Eden’s dark new romantic suspense, BEWARE OF ME.

Criminal. Killer. Monster. Ethan Barclay has been called many things in life, and he usually doesn’t care what people say about him. He’s tough, hard, and brutal when he needs to be. But even the most dangerous of men can have a weakness. Ethan’s weakness has—and always will be—Carly Shay.

Their pasts are tied together—twisted and melded by blood and death. Walking away from Carly was the hardest thing that Ethan ever did, but it was also his one good deed. He knew Carly deserved far better than him, and he wanted her to have a perfect life, a life that didn’t involve paying for Ethan’s sins.

Only now the secrets from their past have been revealed, and Carly’s life is on the line. Ethan’s enemies, Carly’s enemies—the predators are closing in on them. But Ethan isn’t going to let Carly be threatened. He will move heaven and hell to protect her. He won’t lose Carly, not again, and for those foolish enough to try and take her from him…they are about to see just how deadly Ethan truly can be.

 

 

BEWARE OF ME – 1 Day Away

To celebrate the release of BEWARE OF ME, I’ll be posting giveaways and teasers all week on my Facebook page. So if you get the chance, come on by!!

And here’s an excerpt for you right now:

***

“Let’s be clear on a few things.” She kept her body stiff in his hold. “Our relationship is over. Long over.” As in…yearsover. “It ended one blood-soaked night when you put me in a cab and just walked away from me. You didn’t contact me again…you didn’t so much as call me.  You built up your life and you moved the hell on.” Now she jerked back, tearing out of his hands because she didn’t want his touch. It made her remember too much about the past. “And now, so have I. Just because I returned to D.C. to help my sister, that did not mean that I went back for you.”

His eyes glittered with emotion.

“Now get out of my way, Ethan.  Because we’re done.”

His blazing stare raked over her.  “How many secrets do you carry?”

She wasn’t going to keep talking to him in the middle of that crowded street.  In fact, she wasn’t going to keep talking to him at all.  She had a life now. A good life. She wasn’t going to throw it away. Her past—and the secrets there—were locked up tightly inside of her.  Carly took a deep breath, and she gave Ethan a wide berth as she headed around him. If he wouldn’t move, she’d just keep going on her own.

Keep going…and keep in control. Carly knew maintaining control of her emotions was vital. She’d contained her pain and anger for years. Nothing got past her control these days.

But then she heard his footsteps, and Carly realized that Ethan was following her.

No, no, no.

“I let you go once before…” His words drifted to her. “Do you have any fucking idea just how hard that was for me?”

Impossible. “You sent me away.” She kept walking.

“Because I’d already brought you blood and death and hell.”

No, she’d done that…herself.

“I can’t do it again,” Ethan said. “I won’t…”

The crosswalk light up ahead was red. She had to stop at the corner. He closed in behind her, and she could actually feel the warmth of his body reaching out to her and then—his fingers brushed along her hip.  Her eyes closed, just for a moment, as her control cracked, faint spider-webs of emotion breaking through the surface.

Then she made her eyes open.

“I want something for myself,” Ethan said. “I want you.”

Liar, liar. “You’ve got plenty of women, Ethan. Go back to D.C. Go back to them.” The crosswalk light changed. Green. Yes! “Leave me the hell alone.”

“Sorry, baby,” his voice murmured after her. “But that just isn’t going to be possible.”

But Chance soon realizes that he isn’t the only one watching Gwen.  Someone else is out there, a stalker who won’t rest until Gwen is destroyed.  Every day, every moment…Gwen is in danger.   And Chance knows that if he can’t unmask the stalker, then he may just lose the only woman he has ever loved.
