Half angel, half human, Michael Angelo has spent his immortal life protecting innocents against the denizens of Hell. Now he’s facing the fight of his life. A consortium of evil threatens the human plane. Partnered with a human female whose presence affects him in ways he never imagined, he faces the demonic plague even as he battles the demons within himself.

      Mike slammed her into an alcove and pressed her against the wall with his body. Holding his huge hand across her mouth he whispered, “Go along with me.” Grinding his hips into her, he leaned down and planted his mouth over hers.
      Fear and excitement rushed through her, stealing her breath. She gasped and was rewarded with an invasion of her mouth. Mike’s tongue slid across hers with practiced ease, enticing a moan from deep inside. Always up for a challenge, Mary Grace rushed to return the favor, dueling with him for entrance to his mouth. He gave up graciously, sucking on her lips and nipping lightly, following the slight pain up with soothing licks. Mary Grace lost her mind. She rubbed against his body and reached for him.
      Grabbing both of her hands with one of his, he held them above her head while his other hand roamed freely over her body, seeking out and finding the most sensitive points, kneading and stroking. As he licked the rim of her ear he whispered, “We’re being watched. I have to mark you.” He slid his mouth down her neck, licking and sucking. He bit down hard enough to draw blood and she yelped. “That’s it, baby,” he said loudly, presumably for their audience. Glancing up at him she was amazed to see him bite his own lip until it bled. Lowering his mouth back to her neck, he rubbed his lip over her wound, mixing and smearing their combined blood. “It’s the next best thing to sex for marking you with my smell,” he whispered.
      Mutt snarled and curled his lip back to bear his canines as the shadows coalesced into three men. The cop in her took note of their locations. They formed a V with two men slightly behind the leader. Moving like the predators they were, they closed the distance to stand directly behind Mike. Nostrils flaring, they leaned toward the couple.
      Mike straightened, turning slowly and pushing Mary Grace behind him. She bristled inwardly at his protective gesture, but was smart enough not to say anything. “What do you want? Can’t you see I’m enjoying my woman?”
      “What I see is new prey.” Nostrils flaring, the leader sniffed the air. “What I smell is human.” He reached a hand toward Mary Grace.
      Mike moved with blurring speed. He grabbed the offending arm and spun the man back, hurling him into his companions. All three were back in seconds, baring canines of their own. “We want her,” one growled.
      “I don’t care what you want. She’s mine.” Mary Grace had no idea where he’d been keeping it, but Mike produced a wicked looking blade nearly a foot long. “If you want to awaken the neighbors with the smell of your blood, come on. I’ll oblige you.”
      The three glanced at one another. Without voicing a word they moved as one to melt back into the night.
      “Come on,” he urged as he propelled her down the street.
      “Not that I’m complaining, buy why’d they leave?”
      “Vampires only have one natural enemy. Werecats. Guess whose neighborhood we’re in?”
      Mary Grace craned her neck around to look behind her. “Those were really Vampires?”
      Mike grunted something about them not being like the Hollywood wimps and took her arm to prevent any further delays. Mary Grace muttered that the Hollywood Vampires didn’t look like wimps to her. When he didn’t reply further she supposed he’d gotten the point. And she was pretty sure she didn’t want to see real Vampires in action if Lestat was a wimp.

SUPER HERO —download only from Amazon, Fictionwise, and All Romance ebooks

Super Hero is currently available from Red Rose Publishing. It is the story of a US Marine who falls in love with a research geneticist who is in Japan for a collaborative effort with Japanese scientists. When he is severely injured she gains permission to repair his damaged spinal cord with stem cells using a technique she had been perfecting. Only there’s a problem, the vials have been mixed up and she uses animal rather than human stem cells with some very interesting results.

Here’s an excerpt:

      “Zack’s body is reacting with amazing speed. He has shown absolutely no signs of rejection. His nerve endings are regenerating so rapidly it explains the tingling and itching in his feet and hands.” He turned to face Zack. “Have you noticed any other changes? Even the slightest thing is important.”
      Zack blushed. He actually blushed. “Well, Mr. Happy did stir a little when Chloe was kissing me.”
      Kiki frowned. “Mr. Happy? Is this an American colloquialism?”
      Now Chloe was blushing, too. “Not exactly. It’s a family term for… well, for a certain part of a man’s anatomy.”
      Kiki’s brows shot up. “Ah. The penis.” He looked at Zack. “You’re sure? You experienced arousal?”
      “I wouldn’t be all that optimistic. I didn’t exactly make the sheet tent up. But I did get a rush.”
      “This is wonderful.”
      “You’re telling me.”
      Kiki closed the chart and tucked it beneath his arm. “I’m returning to the lab. I want to run a few tests.”
      “Need any help?”
      “No, no. You stay here and see if you can’t aid in the recovery of Zack,” he chuckled, “and Mr. Happy.”
      Chloe leaned against the door after he’d left, her arms crossed over her chest. “I am mortified. I can’t believe you two sat there talking about Mr. Happy right in front of me.”
      Zack laughed. “Well, he asked. And to a man, that’s a pretty damned important organ.”
      She pushed away from the wall and sauntered toward him. “To a woman, too.” She reached down to stroke him. “I wonder what a little hands-on physical therapy would do for him.”
      Zack hissed. “I say let’s try.”
      She leaned over to run her tongue around the edge of his ear. “You’re such a brave warrior.”
      “Ooh-rah.” His voice was hoarse with desire.

Poor Kevnor and Devona, from Mercenary Heart, needed their own story and now they have it.  Now available from Tease Publishing. Don’t miss the second story in this thrilling series.

      Once again the indicator light told her a communication was coming in. After so long they were becoming difficult to ignore. What had it been? A week? Her heart begged her to answer while her head told her to forget Kev and her old life. Tired of the internal tug-of-war, she slammed a palm down on the button to activate the holovid. She might as well get it over with.
      “Greetings, princess.”
      That was not the face she’d expected to see. Quickly she masked her surprise and glowered at the image. “Umland. What do you want?”
“I’m flattered you remembered me.”
      “I never forget an enemy. What do you want?” She gripped the arms of the seat to keep from touching her stomach.
      “Why you, princess. You. And I aim to have you sooner or later. Why not make it profitable for both of us?” His smile sent a wave of nausea coursing through her system. “If you cooperate I’ll cut you in for a percentage. Hell, I’ll even sell you to the Imani instead of the Bauxites.”
      “You’ll forgive me if I pass on that generous offer,” she sneered and cut the connection. As soon as his image faded Dev ran for the head and gave in to the nausea.
      When she got back to the bridge she settled into the communication station and tried to trace the call from Umland. Time after time she ran into a dead end. How the hell did Kev work the magic he did with the computer? Her head fell over and she rested her forehead on the console. Tears of frustration clouded her eyes. What the hell was wrong with her? She never cried, or at least she never used to. It seemed like that was all she did these days. In frustration she settled in for a good cry.
      Once the pity party had subsided she pulled up her personal log and entered the events that had taken place. If something happened to her she wanted a record left for Kevnor to find. She didn’t doubt that he’d come after her eventually. Even if he considered her lower than a slimewort’s belly, he’d come for the child. And he’d avenge them if Umland succeeded in capturing her. She had no doubt of that.
      Thoughts of Kev soon had her reminiscing. Why right here in this very chair she’d opened his clothes and run her hands along his taught bronzed muscles, tasted the flesh she’d desired for years and learned the best-kept secret of the Bauxite people. Closing her eyes she allowed her imagination to take over, pretending the hands that cupped her breasts were his not hers. Catching her lower lip between her teeth she eased one hand down between her legs, recalling the heat of Kev’s long fingers as the touched her just so…
