Released by ImaJinn Books (US)
March 2007
ISBN: 1933417234
Eryn James was a medical secretary, not a police officer, but when the police came calling for her assistance in tracking down a killer, she jumped at the chance. Not because she had any real desire to hunt down a killer, but because the task involved playing bait in Lifemate Connections–one of the most exclusive and expensive bars in town.
In a world where men outnumbered women ten to one, and long-term relationships were frowned upon, bars like Lifemate provided a safe environment for women and men to meet and test drive possible suitors without the initial risk of taking them home. Only five patrons of the bar had recently been murdered, and as a shifter with a keen sense of smell, it was now Eryn s task to track the killer down.
But no matter how much she trusted her nose to get her out of trouble, she wasn t about to go in there alone. The club was full of security, and there were cops sitting in a van outside the club, listening to her every word and move.
How dangerous could playing bait actually be?
Then she met Grey Stockard a man who oozed sex appeal and danger with every movement.
A man she wanted with every ounce of her being.
A man she just might end up dying for.

The Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance
Paranormal romance is a supernatural force to be reckoned with. Although packed with a menagerie of werewolves, shapeshifters and assorted demons, its undisputed king is none other than our favourite centuries-old bloodsucker – the vampire. We’re now living in a post-Buffy world of dark urban fantasy a la Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake, Sherrilyn Kenyon’s irresistible Dark Hunters and the blood-lusting soul mates of Christine Feehan. But it doesn’t stop there. This Mammoth collection opens a vein to reveal the mind-boggling scope of the supercharged phenomenon created when vampires met romance. Let the biggest and brightest names in the paranormal romance business take you hot on the haemoglobin trail of the sexiest creatures of the night. Witness the bewildering array of complex vampire codes of conduct, dark ritual and dating practices, as they chat up the locals and engage in the most erotic encounters you will sink your teeth into this side of un-Death. These ain’t your mother’s vampires!
My contribution is called Dreams. It’s based in Riley’s world, and told from Quinn’s pov.
