To feel ultimate power rushing through your veins? I only hope my readers fall as deeply into the fantasy as I have, and thoroughly enjoy the ride!

Excerpt from RISING DARKNESS:
Damien's breath caught. His chest constricted and his palms dampened.
Look at the fire burning in her eyes, the soft ruby dewiness of her lips--a peach ripe for the picking. Take a bite, Damien.
He licked his lips and felt his fangs descend.
"Mr. Hancock? Are you all right?" A soft voice broke through the cloud in his mind, interrupting his delicious thoughts.
"Emma McGovern?" he choked. He had to get ahold of himself. He took another deep breath. Nonsense. He was Damien Hancock. Adept. Master of the Occult. He'd trained for many years, honing his focus, his control.
He would not fall victim to a foolish gypsy girl's curse.
RISING DARKNESS is another addition in the paranormal world of DARK ENCHANTMENTS!
Dark Enchantments...
Four hundred years ago a secret, hermetic order was created to keep the world safe from evil paranormal beings. Ever since, the Cadre has been dedicated to maintaining the delicate balance between the mortal and dark realms through research and observation of otherworldly entities. Seldom does the Cadre interfere.
But not all mortals seek peaceful understanding between the realms. In recent decades, an opposing force has been created by the British Intelligence Service. This covert group, called P-Cell, has but one directive: destroy paranormal creatures of all kinds.
As the two organizations fight faithfully for their separate causes, unbeknownst to either of them, the dark forces of evil gather, preparing to overtake the mortal realm....

REVIEW OF RISING DARKNESS:
It is said that Hell has no fury like a woman scorned. But I think the Wolvesrain Curse, begun on the night of the Equinox over a century and a half ago by a young gypsy woman done wrong, may just prove that adage wrong. In conjuring her curse upon her faithless lover and his
betrothed she had called down the demon Asmos to plague the
condescending Amelia of Wolvesrain and all of her future heirs. They would only find love long enough to destroy it.
Damien Hancock had been reborn that night. Vampires had gathered to feed on the demon essence Camilla had called down. The vampires had destroyed what Camillaâ€,,s wolves hadnâ€,,t, decimating the gyspy clan as well. Damien and his brother Nicholai had become vampires that night while their two sisters had been murdered.
Damien, determined to keep his soul pure, had never tasted a drop of human blood. He had gone to work for the Cadre and had become a demon hunter instead. There heâ€,,d learned control over his own demons and had captured many others. But the last demon he had hunted had been too
powerful and had claimed his partner Cara. The timing had been off on the exorcism he had performed on her, leaving Cara an empty shell. It was then that he and the Cadre had parted ways.
Now they were calling on him again, claiming a special circumstance, to protect the latest of Ameliaâ€,,s heirs, Emma McGovern, the last of her line. The Cadre believes that Asmos was hailed from the same demon world as the demon who had claimed Cara.
Damien agrees to meet with Emma, but is surprised by the strong feelings she generates in him. She is drawn to him as well. He is the vulnerable alpha male no woman can resist. She is the classic damsel in distress. Neither had ever expected to experience love, he because he believes he is a monster, she because of the family curse. He alone
sees her beauty, not her scars. She sees into his heart and trusts him. But is this love true, or is it Asmos luring them to their deaths?
As the Equinox returns, the wolves have already returned home to Wolvesrain and with them the vampire clan that feeds on the demonâ€,,s essence. Among them is Damienâ€,,s brother. The essence has made Nicholai far stronger than Damien. He has his work cut out if he wants to save his beloved. But the true danger is from Damien himself, for if he follows his heart they are both doomed.
RISING DARKNESS is an incredible paranormal romantic suspense that will keep the readers on the edges of their seats, rooting for the courageous pair of star-crossed lovers until the very last page. I highly recommend this read which is the second title in the Dark Enchantments miniseries.
