THE DARK KNIGHT
Vampire Romance
eBook
Resplendence Publishing
June 2009


Lord Marco Cordoba, the Moorish Prince of Castilla de la Cordoba, is a man tormented by the past. Unable to save his bride Isobel from an evil vampire, Marco vows to stop at nothing to destroy the creature even if it meant becoming the very thing he hated—a vampire.

Now, more than seven hundred years later, Marco stalks the dark shadows of his castle in Spain. Haunted by his memories and failure, Marco is ready to end his lonely existence. But then a light of hope enters the deserted halls of his castle—Christine, a woman that he believes is the reincarnation of his beloved bride. With her arrival at the castle, the demon that long escaped Marco’s revenge returns to take her soul along with her life. Can Marco destroy the creature before he kills again? Will Christine recognize Marco as her knight in shining armor?

Eternal Embrace
Part of the Descendants of Darkness series.

Johann was convinced he was to remain alone for eternity. When an oracle reveals his destined life-mate, Johann is hesitant to pursue her. A dream encounter with her tempestuous body—and her luscious mouth—changes his mind.

Kira doesn’t take kindly to Johann appearing and claiming her as his life-mate. Her body, however, has a will of its own and succumbs to his masterful touch, sparking a passion that flames into love. And when Johann’s brother Lucius appears, Kira is seduced into a fantasy come true—a ménage with two powerful and sexy vampires.


Descendants of Darkness
Part of the Descendants of Darkness series.

Four New Orleans vampires, each searching for their destined life-mate…

Alonso answers the mental call of Jolie, a fortune teller and psychic, when she is threatened by another vampire. He must bond with her and make her his before the dangerous demoni scuri forces her to his will.

Lucius longs for a woman to match his animalistic needs, one who could tame the beast he has become over the centuries. One night, he finds her roaming the Louisiana bayou, but Tala is of an ancient race. And perhaps more animalistic than he…

Leonardo is drawn to the dark alleys of New Orleans by the call of a dying comrade, only to come face to face with his life-mate, Erin—a vampire slayer. They must find common ground before lust—and love—can rule their nights.

Raife is beckoned by a witch’s spell, an entreaty to love and pleasure. He is helpless to resist. Soon, he will find that the magic of Yvette, a French Creole witch, holds more in store for him than one night of sensual bliss.

Reviews for CROSSED SWORDS:
4 1/2 Stars, RT Top Pick! - "LaCroix has outdone herself. This swashbuckling tale will have you offering to swab the decks, if it will put you in good graces with the wickedly handsome pirate captain! There's plenty of action in and out of the captain's quarters to keep you flying through the pages of this sizzling story." ~ Romantic Times BOOKClub

"5 Stars...wonderfully written story about the powerful sea Captain and his prisoner falling in love...If you are looking for steamy sex, that will leave you seeking your own release, look no further...It’s perfect!" ~JERR

Reviews for SEA HAWK'S MISTRESS:
“4 Stars...a fun blast-from-the-past...This was a terrific, sexy little romance...The romance is sweet and tender; the sex scenes are vanilla with a touch of dominance and bondage. Sea Hawk’s Mistress was good to the last drop...” ~JERR
