Kim Knox

About me:

.. I'm a writer living in the UK and I have two small monster children, who I've managed to indoctrinate into loving all things sci fi... *mwhahaha*

As Kim Rees I write sensual contemporary romances, with hot alpha males and quietly strong heroines. Well, so far. I’m new to writing contemporaries and I’m still exploring. But angst is an absolute must *grin*

And as Kim Knox I write fantasy and sf with a twist of romance. I love to play with myth and the past… but also take my characters into the far future. The heroine is more the focus in these stories… thought the hero is, of course, effortlessly sexy.

Books are available here:

They're also on Fictionwise, Mobipocket, et al. *grin*

Flesh-fruit. The First Minister's favourite delicacy and, thanks to her boss, Agent Niamh Sullivan's responsibility. A coup on the planet where it grows has forced a change of administrator. Now she must cross the quadrant to evaluate Zeta-Draconis-prime's new leader, Isaac Rand. Rand intrigues her, tempts her...but she has her orders. Her duty comes first. Always has. Always will.

Rand has a secret. He's been bitten by one of the deadly shadow-snakes who also share the planet and he's changed. He will go to any lengths to see that he remains in charge of his planet, including using his alien abilities to convince Niamh to lie to her superiors. His plan is simple, but what he doesn't realise is that his venom is an aphrodisiac. With it, Rand has become irresistible.

Now Niamh must deny their overwhelming mutual attraction. But as their need for each other spirals out of control the danger becomes apparent. Rand will take her humanity, take who and what she is. Niamh has to make the choice. Turn him in. Or succumb to his forbidden temptation.

Chosen One

Ceta Lars doesn’t want to be chosen.

It’s the dream of every candidate in the Schedir-prime temple...every candidate except her. Chained to the dark perfection of the sovereign’s paladin, the chosen one is taken aboard their master’s vast ship. Compounding her fear of the unknown is her attraction to the mysterious paladin. For years, her brief glimpses of him have tantalised her, stolen into her dreams, filled her thoughts. But he’s the one man she can’t have.

Now Ceta must stand with the other candidates not knowing what the future holds as the paladin strides towards her.

She only knows one fact. None of the chosen return.

Consort

To prove her right to rule, Tate must capture a mate at the Hunt Ball. It should’ve been simple. Snag a vampire barely turned and have him kneel and swear devotion to her as her consort. But fate has other plans….and one of them involves the powerful son of the ruling Queen.

Jager, a vampire whom she’s hungered after for years, allows himself to become her prey. However, his promise of wicked pleasure brings with it a catch. Jager only wants her as his slave. Nothing more.

Tate has no plans to bow down to him…but then Jager shares the truth with her.

And suddenly fate is playing hardball.

Coming Soon


Easy part of his day? Resurrecting the dead. Hard part? Keeping them alive.

Kaede is a witch whose family has been bound to a powerful House for over a thousand years. And he hates it. Despite the fact that his lord, Tarou, murdered his mother, Kaede is sworn never to harm the man who could kill him with just seven words. Now he’s been commanded to use his unique powers to resurrect Tarou’s wife from the dead, and he has no choice but to comply. Things go horribly wrong when he accidentally pulls the wrong soul back. Now it’s not just his own life he must try to save.


Vara’s day couldn’t get much more bizarre. One moment she’s a captain in the Temple Guard. The next, she finds herself transported into a world of magic and witches—and stuffed into the body of a lord’s wife. Unwillingly plunged into middle of a deadly power struggle, the only one Vara can turn to is Kaede, the witch responsible for dragging her into this alien world. A witch she finds far too attractive…





The Talar murdered her mother and her sisters but to save her city from their attacking armada, Alena Petrova Dubov, Imperial Princess of the Rodin must put aside her hatred and sleep with the enemy.

It's an ancient ceremony, shared with two men bred for her pleasure. Or it should have been. Her generals had chosen Vadim, son of a Talar captive, to satisfy her, joining her oldest friend, Sacha in bringing her to exquisite ecstasy.

The ritual will change her, transform her flesh until she becomes one with her city. With the prospect of her enemy's power flowing within her, Alena is terrified of what she will become. But first she has to complete the ritual...and hope that her overwhelming attraction for her enemy doesn't destroy the city she's so desperate to protect.


For Level Seven Observer Cahn Dal, her mission is simple—on the surface. Travel 700 years into the past, alter a complicated equation that will assure the continuation of this timeline, and slip out unnoticed. Except someone else got there first, and he’s waiting for her. Alexander Roen. The man her parents believed in, for whom they died. The man she has loved since she was a teenager, and to her disgust, finds she still desires as hot and as hard as ever.

Roen, former Level One Observer and known traitor to the Foundation, needs Cahn’s help to find out who’s behind a massive conspiracy to alter the timeline. He knows she won’t trust him, but an old injury keeps him from performing the mission himself. His body isn’t too broken, though, to forget his long-denied passion for Cahn.

Cahn reluctantly agrees to penetrate the defenses of the massive Citadel to find the one piece of evidence that will solve Roen’s puzzle. But when she finds it, barely escaping with her life, they find it isn’t the end.

It’s just the beginning of a deeper nightmare, one filled with monsters of unimaginable horror.



Muscles and mind straining, Inaeus hurled the sword. Spell-thick steel buried itself deep into the monster’s spine. The Demon screamed down the night in its pain…

That should have been the end of it. It wasn’t.

The Demon is once again on the loose, and this time it possesses a powerful crystal that has it leaving even more death in its wake. With the approach of the full moon, Inaeus must kill the demon and destroy its crystal before it can call more of its brethren from hell.

Inaeus knows who summoned the Demon. Conde. His former colleague, his former friend. The one woman he can’t have. Conde has no loyalty to the League he serves, and broke his trust long ago. But now she is back and offering to help him defeat her creature.

Why?

Come hell or howling Harpies, Inaeus is determined to get the truth out of Conde. If they live long enough.

Warning: This book contains the following: sex, gore, magic spells and a really cool demon.

Flat broke and desperate, Kate Hartley runs to her ex-husband for help. However, his help comes with a high price. One she can’t refuse.

The morning after a high society party finds Kate Hartley in her ex-husband’s bed. Just a stupid mistake; something to put behind her… Until she discovers that she is pregnant.

Mack had never wanted children; had only married her in a rush of lust. Kate knows this. Nothing would drive her to ask anything of him. Nothing. But she’s homeless and flat broke. And it isn’t only her welfare now.

However, Mack has his own agenda. Kate had fooled him once; married him for his money. Whored herself… It was why he had divorced her. But now his grandfather has threatened his mother’s home if Mack doesn’t marry and produce an heir.

He had vowed never to marry again. But Kate Hartley is his only choice.

And pay back can be sweet…
