Nightshade’s Bite by Zoe Forward
Kiera Rossard’s secret life just got complicated. When not being a vampire aristocrat she’s leader of the Nightshade League, a rebel vampire society that rescues werewolves during the interspecies war. Everyone wants her dead—vampires and the werewolves who don’t know her secret. Starting with the wolf she just saved—Michael Durand, the most vicious killer of her kind in existence. Something about the notorious werewolf sets her blood on fire.
She’s not good at resisting temptation. So what if vampires always bite when they’re turned on? And so what if one drop of his blood will kill her? What’s life without a little risk?
Michael doesn’t like vampires. At all. But now he’s losing his mind over the dark desire Kiera stirs in him. He should plot her death. Only, she’s hot and mouthy. Staying near her a bit longer is irresistible. When unforgiving forces hone in on her secret identity, he must decide between duty to his people and protecting her. But if he stays, who will protect her from him?

PinterestAbout the author:
Award winning author, Zoe Forward is a hopeless romantic who can’t decide between paranormal and contemporary romance. So, she writes both. Her novels have won numerous awards including the Prism, Readers’ Choice Heart of Excellence, Golden Quill, Carolyn Readers Choice Award, and the Booksellers’ Best Award.
When she’s not typing at her laptop, she’s cheering her son on at baseball, chasing after the toddler or cleaning up the newest pet mess from the menagerie that occupies her house. She’s a board-certified veterinarian. You can ask her about your pet’s problem, but be warned she’s into integrative medicine so her answer might involve treatments you’ve never heard of.
She’s madly in love with her globe trotting conservation ecologist husband and she’s happiest when he returns to their home base.
What inspired you to write your book?
With a love for the Scarlet Pimpernel I wanted to see what I could do with a person who rescued within the vampire/werewolf world when they're at war…and it's a she.
Here is a short sample from the book:
“What just happened?” His voice, so raw and confused. He wasn’t repelled by the almost-kiss?
She felt out of control, unsure what her body was going to demand she do next, what she might say. She felt like she was tumbling down a hill with no end in sight, leaving a constricting feeling in her chest, making it harder and harder to breathe.
On the edge of losing it, she muttered, “Nothing. Has to be nothing. Right?”
Hating every second that ticked by without him replying, breath caught in her throat, she tried to concentrate on leaving and on getting him in motion to go downstairs, but she couldn’t move. Her heart thrashed her rib cage to the point of pain. She needed him to commit to an agreement to forget about whatever happened minutes ago so she could safely move him into the off-limits and not-interested category. Or…no, there couldn’t be any sort of “or” scenario.
He took a deep breath and stepped toward her.
Holy.
Shit.
Her body went haywire. Her limbs felt numb when his fingers brushed against her cheek, the touch gentle.
He whispered hoarsely, “I don’t know what the hell you’ve done to me, but…I hate doing the right thing sometimes.”
He pivoted and left.

Shadows of Asphodel by Karen Kincy
When Ardis discovers a man bleeding to death on the battlefield, she knows she has to walk away.
1913. In her work as a mercenary for Austria-Hungary, Ardis has killed many men without hesitation. One more man shouldn’t matter, even if he manages to be a charming bastard while he stands dying in the snow.
But when he raises the dead to fight for him, she realizes she must save his life.
If a necromancer like Wendel dies, he will return as a monster–or so the rumors say. Ardis decides to play it safe and rescues him. What she doesn’t expect is Wendel falling to one knee and swearing fealty. Ardis never asked for the undying loyalty of a necromancer, but it’s too late now.
Ardis and Wendel forge an uneasy alliance underscored with sexual tension. Together, they confront rebels, assassins, and a conspiracy involving a military secret: robotically-enhanced soldiers for a world on the brink of war. But as Ardis starts to fall for Wendel, she realizes the scars from his past run more deeply than she ever imagined. Can Ardis stop Wendel before his thirst for revenge destroys him and everyone else around him?
