Book Description:
She has
never feared the walking dead. It’s the power required to reanimate the dead
that startles her, seduces her. The power that dwells inside her…and is
growing.
For
Professor Ruby Montagne, being a necromancer has brought her nothing but heartache,
and she walked away from that part of her life long ago. However, her quiet
existence in San Francisco is shattered when she stumbles upon the body of a
slain witch, and the supernatural community insists she transform him into a
revenant to track the killer. But his murder was just the beginning, and Ruby
soon realizes that the stakes are higher than anyone can imagine—and that
revenants have nasty minds of their own.
Now demonic
creatures have escaped into the human world, and zombies once again walk the
streets. For humanity’s sake, Ruby forms an unlikely alliance with a
witch, a zombie, and Ewan March, a demon warrior who sets her senses on fire.
She’s always
distrusted demons and Ewan is no exception, but circumstances push them closer
together, and Ruby not only finds it harder to resist him, she isn’t sure she
even wants to. But she suspects his job of patrolling the portal separating
humans and demons conceals a dark and deadly past that may consume them both.
With events
spiraling out of control, Ruby unravels a plot that not only threatens the
human and demon realms, but puts Ruby’s very soul in jeopardy. Because when the
dead walk, no one is safe. Especially Ruby.
Excerpt:
Ewan waved me over to
an empty expanse of the porch circled with candles of various shapes and colors,
casting an ominous glow that barely chased off the shadows skulking around the
room. I walked over, steering clear of the screen.
“Will this do?” he asked.
I nodded. “Where’s
Adam’s body?”
“In the basement. Do
you want it brought up now?”
“No.” Achieve inner
calm while peeking at the dead body, worried it’ll pop up and jump on me? Not
likely.
“All right then, I’ll
leave you alone.” He didn’t move. The lines around his mouth softened. “I want
to apologize for last night. I wasn’t acting very gentlemanly.”
“Gentlemanly?” I
smiled. The tension eased from my shoulders. “I’d never use gentleman in the
same breath as demon.”
“Now I’m offended.”
The crinkle of his eyes told me the opposite. “We demons are quite chivalrous.”
“Chivalrous? I
suppose you have a white horse hidden away somewhere?”
He’d somehow moved
closer during our exchange and grazed my cheek with his finger. “White horse,”
he whispered close to my ear, “boring.”
He lowered his lips
to mine but stopped short of touching them, tracing my back with his hand, gliding
it up my neck to wrap his fingers in my hair. Our bodies were close but not
touching; only our breaths met in a hot exchange. He gazed at my lips before
possessing them with his own.
I swayed and caught
his shoulders to steady myself. I moaned at the electric shock searing a path
from my lips to my core. Feeling, tasting him was better than I ever allowed
myself to imagine.
Ewan consumed me.
I wasn’t ready to be
consumed.

two years in the Ivory Coast with the Peace Corps and loves to introduce
tid-bits from her experiences in her writing. She’s a member of Romance Writers

family, and household diva: her Amazon parrot.
