Dante's Inferno by Evie Byrne (pdf)



Serena's found the perfect lover--too bad he's her worst enemy.



Driven by longings she can no longer contain, Serena Alberenghi ventures into the decadent madness of Venice's Carnival. There she finds what she is searching for in the arms of a masked stranger, whose rough hands and scorching kisses leave her breathless.



She never expects to see him again, but he seeks her out and tempts her with the promise of a night dedicated solely to her pleasure--a dangerous proposition for a respectable widow with secrets to protect. She agrees to be his lover on the condition they remain anonymous.



Merchant prince Dante Valaresso has returned to Venice to restore his family's fortune and reclaim his ancestral home. A born sailor, he misses the sea, but his fiery new mistress has him thinking life ashore might suit him just as well. All that stands between him and contentment is a dour, eccentric widow named Serena Alberenghi, who refuses to vacate his palazzo.



They play out their games amidst the sensual, heady swirl of Carnival, they unmask the truth: To earn perfect happiness, each might have to give up what they covet the most.



Dawn Hunters 1 - Guardian by Blood - Evie Byrne (lit)



Name your terms of surrender.



As a lieutenant to a ruthless vampire prince, Eva is used to difficult jobs. This mission seems pretty straightforward: enter a conquered territory, relocate the survivors and destroy their base of operations. But what she discovers when she arrives in the remote Northwoods Territory challenges all her expectations. Instead of nest of rogues, she finds a unique race of vampires who live out of time and by their own rules. She never counted on feeling sympathy for their cause--or a forbidden attraction to their reluctant leader, Wat. Can she save Wat and his people without betraying her oath to her prince?



Wat is prepared to die rather than submit to relocation. He doesn't trust Eva-she's the epitome of everything he distrusts about city vamps, and she seems hand-picked to tempt him. Somehow he has to keep her close, charm her and convince her to change the terms of the treaty--all without surrendering to temptation, or worse, revealing the secrets of his people.



Crafting an uneasy alliance, Eva and Wat try to find a solution to an impossible problem, contending all the while with princes and gods, ghosts and politics, and most difficult of all, the call of their own unruly hearts…



Author's note:



Guardian by Blood is a freestanding book as well as the start of a new series. However, the roots of this book are to be found in Damned by Blood, the final book in my Faustin Brothers trilogy. Guardian by Blood refers to events in Damned by Blood and features cameos from some of its characters. I do not believe it is necessary to read Damned by Blood first to enjoy this story, but some readers may prefer to do so. Product warning:



Avoid this book if you just want more of the same ol' vampires--or if you have a morbid fear of snow--or if you disapprove of big, soft spoken men and sex hot enough to bring on the spring thaw. In all seriousness, though, there are hunting scenes in this book. Some of the vamps in this story feed on animals, so a boar and two rabbits meet their demise onstage. I thought I'd mention that for folks who would like to avoid such depictions.

Think it's glamorous being a vampire? Think again.



The Faustin Bros., Book 1



Alexander Faustin is ready to settle down. He travels from NYC to sunny Colorado to find his destined bride. His delicate mission: to explain to her that vamps exist, that he happens to be one himself, and that he'd like her to be one, too. But the moment he lays eyes on Helena MacAllister, talk is the last thing on his mind.



It's not like Helena to make out with a stranger on her front porch, much less invite him into her bed. Somehow Alex makes her feel safe, even while he's dismantling her defenses. But in the wake of an accident, her faith in him is shattered. She learns her dream lover is a monster.



When a vampire betrays and terrifies his beloved, what can he offer her to make it up? Pancakes, of course. It's a start, at least. And Alex has to think of the next step quick, because if Helena won't take him back, he'll never love again.

Scorn Fate and she’ll bitch slap you back.



The damned will be sucking snow cones in hell before Gregor Faustin succumbs to love and marriage. Or so he thinks. Until he ploughs his BMW straight into destiny. Madelena, with her smart mouth and her luscious ass, her old-man wardrobe and pointed questions, affects him like no woman he’s ever met. Gregor can’t decide if he’d rather throttle her, suck every sweet drop of blood from her body, or lock her in a room and make love to her until they both die of exhaustion. The only answer—stay far, far away.



Maddy begs the man who ran her over to keep her out of the hospital. In answer, he heals her with a kiss that leaves her haunted by erotic, soul-stealing dreams. But she’s got too many problems to risk what’s left of her heart on any man.



Gregor would like nothing better than to pull his usual disappearing act, but he finds himself entangled with Maddy in a way that goes beyond obsession. By tasting a few precious drops of her blood, he’s bound his life to hers. Now both their days are numbered.



Warning: This story is shamelessly naughty, its depravity extending to a strange form of foot sex and other even less mentionable acts. Despite scenes which might indicate the contrary, the author’s lawyers and the Taxi Drivers’ Union of Greater Manhattan encourage everyone to behave with decorum when riding in taxis.



Evie Byrne - [Faustin Brothers 03] - Damned by Blood (pdf)



Mikhail Faustin is the prince of New York. His authority is absolute, his power unquestioned—and his heart is empty. The pain he carries inside leaves him with nothing to offer a mate. When he discovers that Alya Adad is not only his destined bride but also the source of his misery, his fate is sealed. He must claim the woman he despises most. Or die trying.



Alya Adad is the most powerful of her kind born in generations and a prince in her own right. She’s accountable to no man, certainly not to her first lover, Mikhail. Now he has the gall to not only invade her territory, but threaten to take her by force—for a prophecy she doesn’t believe in? She’ll kill him first.



Their battle for the upper hand is no-holds-barred…until she discovers the one thing his pride didn’t want her to know. That she still holds the key to his heart—and his innermost desires. And when a rival vampire clan strikes, letting her guard down is the only way to save him.



Warning: Contains explicit sex and violence, including violence between the hero and heroine. The sexual content includes but is not limited to bondage, blood play, and some rather creative uses for cling wrap. The author and her attorneys caution readers that the use of a taser to resolve relationship issues is a strategy best left in the realm of fiction.
