A war between two supernatural races. A beautiful computer genius in grave danger. A seductive, passionate immortal is her only hope of survival... 
"The sex scenes were hot! ... A strong woman heroine." - Becky Cox
"Once in a while I post a book spotlight of a worthy book I’ve managed to read outside of InD’Tale Magazine ... These books stand on their own and are worth settling into a comfy arm chair, with a good reading light and maybe a snack or two." -Natasza Waters, Voice Between the Lines

Finn Qualtrough is an alluring Cynn Cruor sniper — a member of an order of immortal human/werewolf/vampire warriors bred by an ancient alchemist who used old age magick to guard the human race from evil supernatural beings.

Eirene Spence is a insomniac hacker with a reckless penchant for midnight walks in a moonlit Manchester park.

And together… they're a bonfire of passion!

In the midst of a long night of programming impenetrable firewalls for Dac Valerian, one of her more treacherous anonymous criminal clients, Eirene decides to take a stroll in the park under the full moon ... and is assaulted by a gang of supernatural villains known as the Scatha Crurors, the nemesis of the Cynn Cruors, who find pleasure in rape, pillage, plunder, and murder. Eirene fights off her torturers but can't quite escape them, and just when she fears she's about to die, she's rescued by Finn — a handsome, provocative stranger... whose touch ignites a hunger inside her that only he can satisfy.

By a twist of fate, Finn has been assigned to track down Dac Valerian. Only Eirene and her ingenious programming capabilities can help him. As the two work together, an undeniable attraction grows — Eirene awakens a desire within Finn to claim her as his own. She is the very essence of his immortal life. He is her soul. But, after uncovering her true identity, Dac wants Eirene dead. Now Finn must fulfill his mission while keeping the woman he's fallen in love with alive.

Readers who like steamy romance will love this extremely hot erotic adventure, as will anyone who loves paranormal romance, werewolves, vampires, and ancient magick in the otherworldly Scottish countryside.

Forever at Midnight (The Cynn Cruors Bloodline Series Book 2)




He's an immortal, herculean warrior. She's the love of his life, a mortal tragically killed in battle the night before their wedding. Centuries later ... could it be she's still alive?
When Roarke—a handsomely brooding, supernatural Cynn Cruor warrior—catches a glimpse of Deanna—a beautiful Scottish maiden he pledged his undying love to eons ago—he thinks he's lost his mind. Because, unlike him, she's human. He's a hybrid warrior—part human, part vampire, part werewolf, bred by an ancient alchemist to guard humans from the evil Scatha Crurors, a race of dangerous shape-shifters led by the maniacal Dac Valerian.
Roarke met Deanna over 500 years ago. The night they vowed their undying love to one another, Deanna was murdered by the Scatha Cruors. And Roarke swears he buried her himself. But when Deanna turns up in Dac Valerian's club, a shock ripples through him, leaving him both fiery hot and stone cold. Roarke needs to know why she’s hidden herself from him all these years.

And he needs to make her his again.

Knowing her secret can only destroy whatever feelings Roarke has left for her, Deanna remains silent...until a twist of fate forces her to reveal everything.

Both heartbroken, Roarke and Deanna have to work together if they are to find a way of ending Dac's vast power once and for all. But their unquenchable desire for one another cannot be suppressed.

Their passionate flame rekindled, can Roarke and Deanna destroy the vile Scatha Cruors, who tore them apart once before? Or will they be torn apart forever?

Midnight's Paradox (The Cynn Cruors Bloodline series Book 6)

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃



IT BEGINS IN AN ANCIENT CASTLE, WITH IMPULSIVE HOT STRANGER SEX --AND IT LEADS TO WORLDS SHE’S NEVER DREAMED OF…
In Isobelle Cate’s SIXTH erotic paranormal romance, it's been hundreds of years since immortal Cynn Cryor warrior Blake Strachen buried what little was left of his family. And it's been three years since his last unsuccessful raid on his nemesis Dac Valerian. Enemies are still at large. Too much is left unfinished.
 Restless, Blake is wandering through the deserted streets of Edinburgh in the early morning hours when he encounters the ghost of a woman, a witch hung centuries ago, who speaks cryptically of  "the sins of the father”. But before he can ask her what she means, she disappears with the first light of dawn. Dawn means that Blake--a vampire-werewolf-human hybrid--must find shelter, and he stumbles into the Great Hall of Edinburgh Castle before visitor hours. But he's not alone...
Phoebe Ruth has come into work early at the old castle when she notices the dark shadow of a man handling a relic sword with surprising ease. A powerful and disturbingly attractive man. Sparks ignite immediately, the two strangers wordlessly embracing with an uncontrollable passion neither of them understands... But just like that, Blake disappears.
All day, like a stereo needle skipping over a vinyl scratch, Phoebe replays the steamy sexual encounter of the early morning--the hunger that threatened to devour her. Was it just an arousing dream? But when Blake rescues Phoebe from an assault by thugs in the cemetery, each becomes enraptured by the other. Forever.
Phoebe has read of the Cynn Cruors in her father’s journal and believes they're only the ravings of a grief-stricken man after losing his wife. But after several chance encounters, she begins to realize that the Cynn Cruors' world is as real as the dark stranger's bonfire of burning kisses. Both Phoebe and Blake have sordid pasts to sort through. And these chance encounters inexplicably link the two lovers together in more ways than one...
This haunting love story will appeal to romance readers who love a hot steamy erotica series with a paranormal element-- supernatural shifters, werewolf romance, and vampire romance (it's got all of that!) –and plenty of explicit sex.

Dying to Live

Bio:
Hello, I'm Isobelle.
​Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I'm a woman who wears different masks.  Mother-writer, wife-professional, scholar-novelist. Living in the United Kingdom, I have been drawn to the little known, the secret stories, about the people and the nations:  the English, the Irish, the Scots, the Welsh, and those who are now part of these nations whatever their origins.  My vision and passion are fuelled by my interest and background in history and paradoxically, shaped by growing up in a clan steeped in lore, loyalty, and legend. You will notice from my stories that I am intrigued by forces that simmer beneath the surface of these cultures, the hidden passions, unsaid desires, and yearnings unfulfilled.

That is my official bio. Honestly? I'm just an ordinary woman who loves reading, letting the words flow through me and lift me up. I like baking snickerdoodles and Russian tea cakes. My son loves baking them too, well at least after licking the batter off the bowl. Ha! I make a mean beef stew derived from my grandmother's secret recipe. Except for my Uncle and me, no one knows exactly how it's done. I love swimming though I don't get to do that much now. Someday, I'd like to go back to it.

I do love myths and legends, love watching documentaries, and I do belong to a huge clan that is scattered across North America, Oceania, and Asia. Now that I'm living in the UK, add Europe.
