Today, the only man who tempts her is a ferociously handsome hockey player. She would love a taste of this human, but only for a night. Any more, and she risks being discovered for who she really is. Brandon Stevenson is one hundred percent focused on his game, until he looks up and sees a celestial beauty sitting in the third row. Tracking her down proves easy. Seduction is even easier. But when he wakes the next morning, he has only a hazy memory of the amazing night before…and the sense that he’s somehow different. Brandon wasn’t supposed to remember his night with Lucy, but when he shows up at her door the next day, she realizes he’s more than human. And he might just be the hero she needs to save her from an encroaching evil. But will she lose him to his inner beast? Or will he learn how to harness that strength to protect his lover?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am Meredith Gentry, P.I. and Princess Merry, heir to the throne of Fairie. Now there are those among me who whisper I am more. They fear me even as they protect me. And who can blame them? I’ve awakened the dazzling magic that’s slumbered in them for thousands of years. But the thing is, I can’t figure out why. My aunt, the Queen of Air and Darkness, is no longer distracted by her usual sadistic hobbies. Her obsession has turned unwaveringly to me. The mission to get me pregnant and beat my cousin Prince Cel to the crown is taking longer than expected. Even though I spend each night with the Queen’s Ravens, my immortal guards, no child has come of our decadent pleasures. But something else is happening. My magic courses through me uncontrollably. And as I lock my half-mortal body with their full-Sidhe blooded ones, the power surges like never before. It all began with the chalice. I dreamed of it, and it appeared, cool and hard, beside me when I awoke. My guards know the ancient relic well—its disappearance ages ago stripped them of their vital powers. But it is here with us now. My touch resonates with its force, and they’re consumed with it, their Sidhe essences lit up by it. But even as they cherish me for this unexpected gift, there are those who loathe me for it. Me, a mongrel, only half fey and part mortal. The Unseelie court has suffered for so long, and there are some who would not have it weakened further by an impure queen. My enemies grow in number every day. But they do not know what I am capable of. Nor, for that matter, do I. . . . In Seduced by Moonlight, Laurell K. Hamilton brings the dark, erotic reign of the immortal fey to a startling new depth. Full of sensuality and the consuming anticipation of latent powers unleashed, this world of gods, shapeshifters, and immortal souls is unveiled in all of its supreme magnificence and its treacherous deceits.

In fact, she's made it clear she'd be more than happy to pass the time more...pleasurably. Yes, Den and Jacoby may work for the bad guys, but they're not evil. They're yummy. Den would gladly give Kari everything and anything she wants. He wants to take her up on the offer in her teasing smile, but he needs something in return. His mother is dying and he needs Kari to help him get her to help...to the wolf shifters who would shoot Den and Jacoby on sight.

If that means defecting to the shifters, no problem. Especially if that also means he can continue to see Kari. But even the best-laid plans can go wrong...and when Kari, Jacoby and Den need to rescue Emelia, none of them expect the fight to cost more than they're willing to pay.

If I fail, my aunt, Queen Andais, will be free to do what she most desires: install her twisted son, Cel, as monarch . . . and kill me. My royal guards surround me, and my best loved–my Darkness and my Killing Frost–are always beside me, sworn to protect and make love to me. But still the threat grows greater. For despite all my carnal efforts, I remain childless, while the machinations of my sinister, sadistic Queen and her confederates remain tireless.
