Trinity was once a fragile girl. Being taken by a powerful vampire prince
changed her. Discovering him in the arms of another woman changed destiny.
Alone, she’s learned fast how to be tough, how to survive, and how to
protect the people in her city from the evil that lurks in the dark. She was
managing just fine, until Basil walked back into her life.

Basil Hawthorn has been the reigning prince of vampires since banishing his
father to the Realm of Dark Mystics decades earlier. When a prophetic dream
makes him realize Trinity’s life is at risk, he decides the only way
to save her is to push her away. Doing so is not easy. Trinity is the only
woman he has ever loved, will ever love, and he can’t seem to let her
go.

When rumors arise of a plan to raise the king and blot out the sun, both
Trinity and Basil know they must do everything to stop it. Even if it means
working together. Despite betrayal and threats, they find themselves drawn
to each other. Love has no boundaries, especially in the face of danger. But
will they be able to stop the ritual before it’s too late?

Or will the darkness capture them both?

 

 

Excerpt

 

That damn itch she’d been having lately was back, and it was driving
her nuts. Rolling her shoulders, she watched two redheads staggering from
the bar’s exit and towards a dimly lit street.

Here we go again, She kept to the shadows as she followed after them.
Uneventfully, they made it to their car and drove off. She hoped the cops
were out tonight and those two were hauled in to sleep off their
drunk.

Turning back to the club, she waited and watched for the next two hours and
was glad nothing had happened. So far. But the night was still young.

“Can you smell it?”

She didn’t jump, but slowly looked over at Basil who appeared next to
her. She hated when he just appeared out of thin air, but she knew he loved
that entrance the best. “Your stink? Always.”

He didn’t sneer at her but slowly lifted his hand and lit the
cigarette between his fingers. “The blood of a human. Does it still
draw you in, make you hunger, make you want?”

“I’ve got a strong will.” Deliberately, she shifted away
from him. It wasn’t only the smoke that bothered her—and always
had—but his scent. It pissed her off that he could still make her
ache.

She waved the smoke away annoyingly and shifted just a bit farther away.
“Why are you skulking, Basil? Because if you’re following me, I
am going to so kick your ass.”

“I was in the neighborhood.”

She glared at him and growled her response. “If you’re here to
drink, let me warn you now that I won’t allow it.”

“Who am I supposed to drink from now that I no longer am nourished by
your blood?”

She chose not to answer that. “Why does it seem that you’re
always around, lurking in the dark, around places that aren’t your
usual hangouts? Unless….there’s a reason?” The thought
stabbed into her, and though she didn’t want to believe it, she had to
ask. “Are you trying to take more females of your own? Are you the one
abducting young girls?”

With one quick and easy flick, he tossed the cigarette into the darkness.
The red tip glowed as it flew through the air before landing on the gravel
to bounce and spit out a cloud of red sparkling fireworks. “I will not
even dignify that with an answer.”

“It’s so obvious, now that I think about it. I was young when
you took me, made me yours. Is that what you’re doing, Basil, making
another mate?”

His icy blue eyes narrowed dangerously as he stepped closer. “I have
a mate and to think you would even have such a thought sickens
me.”

“You don’t have me, Basil.” Her voice grew dangerous.
“If I’m so wrong, then do explain to me why you’re always
out in the darkness, skulking near all these young girls?”

“The very same reason you are, my dear.” He ran a finger along
her face, making her scowl.

She snorted, stepping away from him before he decided to do something
stupid, like kiss her. “Please, I hardly think you’re out here
looking to find the person or persons responsible for taking four innocent
girls.”

Leaning against the building behind them, Basil looked off into the
direction of the bar and the people waiting in line to be allowed inside.
“You think so little of me and that’s a shame. But I suppose
I’ve done it to myself. Yes, Trinity, I am looking to find out who
took those young girls, as you are. And why you might ask?” He shifted
towards her, sliding in nice and close and making her pulse speed up. He
laid his fingers on her cheek, then slowly slid them along her face.
“Because I have a feeling I am connected to the reason they’ve
been taken.”

She had all but a moment to open her mouth to respond when he closed it
with a mind numbing kiss, then pulling away, turned into a dog and scampered
away.

Now what the hell did he mean by that?

Paranormal Romance

Date Published: 02/04/2025

Publisher: Harbor Lane Books, LLC

 

The women in her family have a history of falling in love with ghosts.
Aoife’s positive she’s the exception to the rule.

She’s wrong.

 

Aoife ‘Fee’ Gowdie is exploring a derelict London music hall when she
discovers a seventeenth century theatre below. The problem? It’s got a
seventeenth century ghost in it. And he has a pet-Fee’s mouse, the one she
buried that morning.

Gilbert ‘Gil’ Sorley-orphan, thief, actor, playwright-was born in 1613 and
died… The jury’s still out on that. He remembers the moment. The fight,
the blade, the blood. It’s been a gray wasteland since then. Until the
miracle of her. And the mouse.

The old theatre has protected Gil for centuries, but now it’s slated for
demolition. To stop time and death, Fee and Gil have nothing except
desperate, impossible love. Is it enough?

BOUND TO HAPPEN by Annie R McEwen is perfect for fans of Discovery of
Witches and Practical Magic, the A Stitch in Time books, Ghost, and The
Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

Demon Lover cover

Paranormal Romance, Halloween, Age Gap

Date Published: October 11, 2024

 

When John Standcliff, Satan’s bounty hunter, is summoned to Earth to claim
the soul of a serial killer, he finds the worst of hell’s tortures can be no
worse than the pain of falling in love with a mortal woman.

Corinne Rogerio has come to Maine to research six murders that took place
back in 1656. She has no idea that the handsome stranger she meets in an old
cemetery is actually the murderer she’s been studying. Even worse, he’s been
sent to track down a serial killer who is closer to her than she ever
imagined.

Demon Lover paperback

EXCERPT

 

Sparks shot from John’s ax each time it struck the trunk of the steel tree.
Every blow jolted through his aching arms and rang in his ears, yet he
almost welcomed the racket. He’d lost track of how long he’d dwelled in the
steel forest, chopping tree after tree without pause for food, water, or
sleep. His demon’s body could survive for decades without rest or
sustenance. If he ceased chopping long enough, the bleeding sores on his
palms would heal and his muscles would almost magically stop aching.
Unfortunately he must continue the drudgery until given the order to
halt.

All around him, the smooth gray trees stretched for miles. As punishment
for his crimes, John labored alone, chopping steel trees in Satan’s forest,
only ceasing when sent to collect yet another evil soul to toil in
Hell.

“Hello, John.”

The sneering voice echoed throughout the forest and made John’s skin
prickle with disgust. Pausing, he listened to his own panting breath in the
stillness. Sweat dripped into his eyes and trickled down his torso, soaking
into the wet waistband of his black trousers. He waited for the voice to
continue. Usually when Bee called, it was to send him on one of his gruesome
missions.

“Oh, John, your services are required. Won’t it be nice to go home
again?”

“Home, Bee?” John curled his lip. The little bastard loved
playing with people. Three-hundred-forty-eight years ago, John had been far
more gullible. The first few times Bee had promised him a meeting with his
sister or even a chance to escape from Hell, he had actually believed
him.

At first he had looked forward to visiting the mortal world, but eventually
the illusion shattered. Without friends or family, the world was a lonely
place. People feared him and kept their distance. It was as if they sensed
the evil inside him and instinctively stayed away. Never again would he
experience the comfort and total relaxation of sleep, to close his eyes in
complete surrender. Perhaps worst of all was his inability to fully enjoy
lovemaking. He could pleasure women and feel intense sexual stimulation, yet
climax eluded him.

“Can’t you think of a better story than that?”

“It’s not a story. Your hometown reeks of evil. Our master has been
smelling it for quite some time now and he wants it. You go get it for him,
John, and this time there might be something in it for you.”

“Beelzebub, leave us,” said a soft, musical voice. It sent a
tingle down John’s spine and filled him with such warmth that he nearly
panicked. After so many years in Hell, nothing touched him anymore. What
sort of evil had Bee conjured that could stir his emotions again? The voice
continued. “Once a soul is condemned to Hell, it is rarely allowed a
chance for redemption. There are sometimes cases of a good soul doing evil,
and though it is not condoned, under special circumstances someone like you
may be given the opportunity to move on, providing certain specifications
are met.”

John closed his eyes and drew a deep breath. “It’s not going to work,
Bee. I no longer believe in fairy tales.”

“Bee is gone. His kind cannot abide me.”

“I suppose you’re from up there?”

“I’m from everywhere. I know no bounds. Listen carefully to what I
tell you, John Standcliff. Fulfill the task set for you and send the evil in
your hometown to Hell. Do it without harming an innocent soul, and you will
be freed from Satan’s realm and allowed your chance at
redemption.”

John laughed humorlessly. “You don’t give up, do you, Bee?”

“Believe what you will, but you have only this one
opportunity.”

“Oh, just one?” John’s voice dripped sarcasm.

“At least in this millennium. You’re not the only demon in Hell who
deserves a second chance.”

“Then give one of them my turn. I don’t want it.”

“I understand why you don’t believe me, but keep my offer in mind
during your return to the world of the living. If I’m lying, then you’ll be
no worse off than you are now, but if I’m telling the
truth…”

The voice faded. Moments later, Bee appeared beside John. He was nothing
more than a dark cloud, loosely resembling the shape of a man. Bee
shuddered. “Glad she’s gone. Now. Are you ready to get to
work?”

“Who am I after this time?”

“As usual, I can’t give you too many details. After all, I’m not
supposed to be catching the soul. That’s your job.”

“Bee…”

“It’s a serial killer. Here’s his scent.” Bee’s cloudy black hand
swept beneath John’s nose. The faint aroma was all a demon required to track
his prey. “While you’re there, why don’t you break your own rules and
hack apart some humans? The master loves it when his demons terrorize the
living.”

“Just send me out of here so I can get this over with.”

Blackness enveloped John, and in those dark moments between Hell and Earth,
he absorbed the details of his new identity and a crash course on life in
the twenty-first century.
