| Book One
Lucy Richards is tired of being timid around men.
Hoping to overcome her fears and feel like a real woman, she turns to Madame
Eve to find a man who will fulfill that goal. Eve arranges a one-night stand with
a handsome Shawnee shaman who will teach Lucy to use her womanly power and take
her to unimaginable heights.
Shape shifter Seth Crowe is a Keeper of the
Spiritual Law who carries souls from darkness to light, and enjoys using his
body to accomplish his magic.
Tucked away in the
Castillo Poconos Resort, Seth helps Lucy find spiritual and sexual freedom,
never dreaming he might find his own mate in the bargain.
EXCERPT
“I am a man who is yours tonight,
Lucy.” He walked toward her with arms out from his sides, exposing his nudity.
“Draw on the power within you. Look at me. Overcome your apprehension of men.
Have I not shown you gentleness?”
She nodded and approached him while
tugging the strap of her sundress.
“Keep your dress on. Take it off
when you are ready. This night is about you. Explore my body, learn from it,
and take whatever you want. You are in control.”
He led her to the center of the
blanket and faced her. She stood still with her fingertips resting on his
waist. Cupping her face, he lost himself in her eyes.
“I am your instrument to use
tonight. Open yourself up and delve into this opportunity I offer. I am yours
to command. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
“I think so.” She considered his
offer. “What do I do?”
“Follow your feminine intuition.”
He couldn’t hold back a chuckle. “Touch me, tickle me, beat me, kiss me, bite
me, lick me, suck me…whatever you want. Take whatever you need from me to
strengthen you.”
In the moonlight, an endearing,
innocent blush spread across her face. Amazing how a woman who lived her life
in fear caused by abuse could be so naive of her own sensual power. If she knew
her potential, she could bring him to his knees.
Please, bring me to my knees.

| Book Two |
Dyami Schafer, a Native American from the Chippewa tribe, leads a
lonely life due to his large size and unusual appearance. When his nesting
instinct sets in, he turns to Madame Eve and 1Night Stand to help him find his
spirit mate. Or at least a woman who accepts him as an eagle shifter.
Amanda Collins never stopped loving the Chippewa boy she knew from her
childhood. Maybe a night with a Native American man will help her forget the
past and let her move on with her life.
Sometimes, it’s necessary to take a step into the past before dancing
into the future. With the help of Madame Eve, will the Spirit of the Eagle
carry Dyami and Amanda?
EXCERPT
She brushed the gray tips and white
strands of hair that gave him such untamed nobility. With a finger, she traced
his face from his temple to his jaw, across his lips, then scraping her nails
along the fine hair under his chin. A man of his enormous size would be capable
of great strength, and a gal could easily lose herself in his arms for more
than one night. His gaze intensified under her scrutiny.
“What do you see when you look at me?” he
asked and lowered his eyes. Sinfully long lashes brushed his cheeks.
She considered him to be the most gorgeous
man alive. His eyes mesmerized her. Some would consider the unusual color to be
eerie, but she saw a whirlwind of emotions, from pain to hope, drawing her into
his soul. Did his unusual appearance cause issues and uncertainty in his life?
Despite his intimidating frame, he exhibited control and gentle qualities in
the tender way he’d held her when they danced and the way he’d admitted his
soft spot for animals. In arms like his, a woman could find paradise in many
ways.
She cupped his face and forced him to
meet her gaze. “I see a handsome, mystical warrior from another world.”
“Handsome, huh? I think you need your
vision checked. I am nothing more than a simple Chippewa from Michigan.” His
mouth was inches from hers. “However, I can be magical and take you wherever
you want to go.”
“Then dance with me,” she whispered.

Eve is his last hope to get her back.
Will one night be enough to erase the pain of the past and
rekindle the passion they once shared?
Excerpt
Deep in thought and alone, she continued to
watch the fountains. The scrape of a chair nearby distracted her. Large, warm
hands grasped her shoulders. She jumped but couldn’t turn to see who stood
behind her. The sweet melody of citrus with a hint of spice tickled her nose.
The signature scent and familiar touch belonged to only one man.
“Hello, Rachel.” A man’s deep voice washed over
her as he caressed her nape with his lips.
“Hello, Dusty.” The words came out with a sigh.
“It’s been a long time.”
“Too long, babe.” He pulled her back against his
broad chest.
“You’re awfully brave to come up to me like
this. You startled me, and I could have cracked one of your ribs with my
elbow.” She playfully jabbed at him.
“You could never hurt me.” He ran his hands down
her arms and pinned her elbows at her sides. “At least not physically.”
“Is that what you think?” She stiffened in his
grasp.
“Baby, there are ways you could kill me.” The
silken tone still softened her dissent. “You are fucking gorgeous in this
dress. I imagine you wearing something like this as a wedding gown.”
Her stomach flipped with excitement at his
praise. The strapless white bustier dress bared her shoulders. A tilt of her
head gave him easier access to her neck, where he placed soft kisses. He slid
his hand under her arm and around her satin-covered torso. He would be pleased
at what lay hidden under the layers of lace making up the skirt. Wait a minute.
The white stockings and satin thong were meant to impress her date, not him!
She tried to pull away, but he held her firm.
“I saw you watching me, and I know that
expression in your eyes.” His voice caressed her ear, sending waves of heat
through her. “Come with me.”

Excerpt
The blades of the chopper sliced through
the heat of the night as it flew over the City of Lights. Casinos glowed in
various hues of blue, plum, gold, green, and silver, casting a magical aura.
Spotlights danced in the night, graceful fingers tickling the sinister side of
Vegas. Unsuspecting people moved about, flitting from place to place, searching
for excitement and fulfillment while cars in traffic jams occasionally brought
the pulsing arteries in the heart of the city to a temporary halt.
Being a Las Vegas cop, Steph recognized
the evil lurking in the shadows of the beautiful city, also known as Sin City.
As the chopper made a turn, she viewed the vast landscape as an artist’s
canvas. The awesome structures designed and built by nameless men. So many
lives below. Where there is sin and sadness, one will also find love and
happiness.
With a deep sigh, Steph continued to
gaze at the site, wondering where she fit into the street party of existence.
Not a single malicious bone in her body, yet a monster lurked inside, crying to
be set free. And, despite the desire to have a special someone to share a
lifetime of love and happiness, meaningless one-night stands never filled the
emptiness inside. Lately, living and breathing her job had become her reason
for lack of a social life. That, and always being looked at as one of the
guys and a hard ass.
Some of the cops’ wives had made it
their mission to fix her up with someone. Despite their efforts to feminize
her, she intimidated the men they’d found for her. Not considered butch—she had
all the right curves in all the right places and could wear sexy clothing that
normally only looked good on a model—but everyone knew how tough she could be.
Controlling the power hidden deep inside
her proved to be difficult and had ruined many relationships. Her last
boyfriend liked to try kinky things, but had his limits. She’d gone out with a
guy who’d insisted she be submissive to him, but that felt completely false and
ended shortly after it began.
What’s wrong with me?
Frustrated at her inability to escape
her reputation, she’d applied with an online dating service, 1NightStand. Not a
regular matchmaking site, but more upscale; the mysterious owner, Madame
Evangeline, had an amazing ability to find just the right person to satisfy
one’s needs. Or so Steph had been told.
Her cell phone vibrated. Glancing at the
screen, she noticed an email from 1NightStand. Instinct told her Eve was
probably letting her know the dating service could not match her up. To avoid disappointment
until back on the ground, Steph put the phone back in its holster.
The chopper began its descent.
