a

A July 2007 release from St. Martin's Press
He's
got a secret…
Claire
Kennedy left Lake Bluff, Georgia, for the bright lights of
Atlanta and a promising career in journalism. Now, recovering
from a cruel betrayal, she's back in the one place she always
felt safe, starting over as Lake Bluff's new mayor. But then
trouble comes to town in the form of Malachi Cartwright,
a man whose past is as mysterious as his present-a man who
awakens something dangerous in sensible, realistic Claire.
|
|
...that
leaves her hungry for more...
When
a local claims to have been mauled by a vicious wolf, and when
the attacks turn deadly, Malachi's strange behavior rouses Claire's
suspicions. Could he have a secret agenda and a sinister reason
for coming to Lake Bluff? Malachi is the only man who could tempt
Claire to succumb to her desires-but he's the last person she
can trust. And as an eclipse approaches, the secrets of the hidden
moon will come to light, and a deadly enemy will be revealed
at last... |

He
awakens something wild in her...
Rising
Moon
a
Nightcreature Novel by Lori Handeland
A January 2007 release from St. Martin's Press
Over
a city of wicked pleasures
and
dangerous passions…
Denizens
of The Big Easy know its steamy nights can hide any
number of sins and secrets. Private-eye Anne Lockheart
is counting on it. Her life has been in a holding
pattern ever since her sister Katie disappeared without
a trace…but when a clue leads Anne to a jazz
club in the French Quarter, everything changes. Rising
Moon’s proprietor, John Rodolfo, is mysterious
in his own right, a gifted musician who reaches deep
into Anne’s soul and whose mere presence taps
into desires she can’t afford to indulge...
|
|
...there’s
a bad moon on the rise.
By
going undercover at the Rising Moon, Anne can get close to
people who know what goes on after dark—people like
John, whose nocturnal disappearances are more than a little
suspicious. But unlocking John’s secrets is harder
than Anne anticipated. What’s far too easy is surrendering
to him. And now someone—or something—is stalking
the innocent and the guilty, and waiting for Anne’s
next move...
|
" The
city itself is a character, not unlike its real-life
counterpart, and the characters, human or wolf, are some
of the sultriest, most wicked, and amazingly disturbing
beings to play across the pages of a romantic suspense
novel. Her gift to skillfully repel and attract commands
the reader's attention to the very end and will lure
genre readers enamored of paranormal romance or mysteries."

great plot, wonderful characters and a setting to die

February 2006
An
ancient evil hunts by the crescent moon—
New
Orleans is known for sinful pleasures and strange magic, but for cryptozoologist
Diana Malone it offers one irresistible attraction. For over a hundred
years there have been whispers of wolves around the Crescent City,
and the recent discovery of bodies in the nearby swamps hints at a
creature even more dangerous…one that could make Diana's career
and fortune, if she lives to capture it.
And
desire may be a fatal mistake…
Adam
Ruelle is a reclusive former Special Forces officer, the last of a
mysterious Cajun family rumored to be cursed, and the only person skilled
enough to guide Diana in her search. Rugged and captivating, he fills
her nights with desire…but by day, Diana
is plagued with doubts. Adam clearly knows more than he's telling,
but is his aim to protect her or distract her? Something is stalking
its prey in the Louisiana bayous, and every step towards the horrifying
truth brings Diana closer to a centuries-old enemy that lives for the
smell of fear and the thrill of killing, again and again…

Dark
Moon
St. Martin's
Press
July 2005
When
dusk falls, nightmares become reality—
Dr.
Elise Hanover quite literally lives for her job-since quitting would
mean meeting a silver bullet with her name on it. She works alone,
struggling to unlock the mysteries of an affliction that should only
exist in nightmares. But Elise knows from personal experience just
how real it is. Because the first time its deadly power pulsed through
her veins was the last time she saw the love of her life. Until now...
and
forbidden passion is unleashed...
The
surprise visit from FBI agent Nic Franklin is merely the first in a series
of shocks. After her lab is firebombed and her most bloodthirsty test
subject escapes, Elise and Nic have no choice but to join forces. Unfortunately,
the situation in remote Fairhaven, Wisconsin is far from safe: Nic has
too many questions about Elise's work and why she deserted him years
ago; townsfolk are disappearing, and Elise feels her own condition intensifying
in ways as terrifying and exhilarating as her rekindled attraction to
Nic. Now, as a shadowy evil closes in, it's becoming all too clear that
Elise is the only one who can stop it-if it doesn't stop her first...

Moon 
St. Martin's Press
October 2004
By
the light of a blue moon, danger prowls—
Miniwa,
Wisconsin is under siege, but not by the usual summer tourists. The
area's normally shy wolf population has begun stalking human prey,
and their victims have been disappearing... or worse. Something is
happening in the woods. Something brutal and primitive…
and
desire is unleashed...
Officer
Jessie McQuade has seen plenty in her years on the force—but
nothing as intriguing as the gorgeous, naked man she encounters while
tracking a rogue wolf. Professor Will Cadotte is a Native American
activist. He's also the only man capable of distracting Jessie from
her work. And for a cop, distraction—no matter how pleasurable—can
be deadly. It's against Jessie's better judgment to accept Will's help
in her investigation, yet she soon finds herself doing exactly that—and
more. Will's dark, penetrating eyes see into a part of Jessie's soul
she never knew existed. It's exhilarating...and terrifying.
Now,
as a town's deepest secrets come to light, no one is safe: not friends,
lovers, or strangers. And as Jessie follows a bloody trail to the shocking
truth, she'll have to decide who she can trust when the moon is full...
