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.

A supernatural war. An alluring journalist caught in the middle. A devouring lust…
Graeme Temple, a supernatural Cynn Cruor warrior, is nearly killed in a brutal siege of the evil Dac Valerian’s fortress on the Isle of Man, when he takes a silver bullet intended for his comrade, Roarke Hamilton. Both Roarke and Graeme are hybrid warriors, part human, part vampire, part werewolf, bred by an ancient alchemist to save humans from Dac’s murderous race of Scatha Crurors.
While on the mend, Graeme never expected to meet Kate Corrigan—an alluring investigative journalist trying to expose human trafficking ringleader—who kindles in Graeme a devouring lust, a desire to possess, and a need to protect. And Kate never meant to fall so quickly for such a mysterious—not to mention extremely hot—hero, whose attraction she can’t deny, no matter how hard she tries.
Kate is about to expose the councilor responsible for human trafficking when her friends are kidnapped to silence her. Incorrigible, Kate refuses to back down. She looks to Graeme for help—and a steamy affair she can’t resist...
Thrown together, Graeme and Kate find their attraction for each other becomes a passionate conflagration that will not leave them unscathed. But not all is cut and dried.

Will the feelings they have for each other be enough to destroy Dac Valerian and get them through? Will Graeme be the man to break through the walls of Kate’s heart?

🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
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.

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.
Don't forget if you live in the UK, check out my amazing competition HERE
Love n stuff
