There is sex and suspense and everything you could hope for in a shifter book. I can’t wait for more." ~Paranormal Romance Guild EXCERPT: Nic had been restless all day, and it was growing worse. His Irish mother had been a powerful Seer. Nic couldn't see the future like his mom, but he'd learned to trust his premonitions. Trouble was on the way. He dove into the water. The ocean was a seething mass. A wave crashed over Nic's head. Even in his man form, he could hold his breath much longer than a human. But his animal wanted out. Nic dove deep and let the shift take him. Energy rippled over his skin. For a few seconds, his body was a cluster of incandescent lights—blue, purple, green—before shaping itself into the powerful body of his sea dragon. Nic arced in and out of the waves, reveling in the slide of salt water over his skin. He had rudimentary wings and could fly in short spurts, but the ocean was his element. A school of common dolphins scattered at his approach, chittering anxiously to each other. In this form, Nic measured twenty-five feet from nose to tail, and he had the teeth and claws to match. Nic ignored them. He might be a half-savage dragon, but he drew the line at eating something as intelligent as him. In the sky above, lightning flashed, followed by a crash of thunder. Rain slashed down, pelting his dark-gold hide. He dove beneath the waves, stopping a couple hundred feet down. Above him, the storm still raged, but this deep, the sound was muted, the black waters calm. He glided through the midnight liquid, the premonition riding him like an itch that couldn't be scratched, teasing at a part of him buried so deep, he could go weeks without thinking about it. Trouble. Cassidy O'Byrne. Pain sliced through him, fresh as the day he'd left Ireland—and her. He gritted his teeth and bore it. Then his spine prickled. His dragon was racing for the surface before his mind caught up. Cassidy was here—and she was in danger. THE FADA. Shapeshifters created during Dionysus's infamous bacchanals from a mix of fae, human and animal genes. They're ruthless, untamed...and when they love, it's forever. *BEST SHIFTER SERIES of 2018 ~ PRG Reviewer's Choice Awards* Keywords: sea dragon romance, sea dragon paranormal romance, sexy dragon romance, unusual shapeshifters romance, dolphin shifter romance, dolphin shifter paranormal romance, shapeshifter series romance, shifter series romance, shifter series paranormal romance ebook, shifter series paranormal romance novel, second chance romance, secret baby romance, second chance paranormal romance, secret baby paranormal romance, woman in danger romance, woman in danger paranormal romance, gripping paranormal romance, band of brothers, misfits who band together, steamy paranormal romance, steamy paranormal romance book, steamy paranormal romance ebook, dark fae, dangerous fae, happily ever after

He traces the 200-million-year history of the great ichthyosaurs, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs who swam the ancient oceans - and who may, according to some, still frequent the likes of Loch Ness. animal that looked like a crocodile crossed with a shark the size of a small yacht. With its impossibly long neck, Plesiosaurus conybeari has been compared to a giant snake threaded through the body of a turtle. At a length of nearly 60 feet, Mosasaurus hoffmanni boasted powerful jaws that could crunch up even the hardest-shelled giant sea turtle. And Kronosaurus queenslandicus, perhaps the most formidable of the lot, had a skull nine feet long - more than twice that of Tyrannosaurus rex - with teeth to match. reconstruct their lives and habitats. Their fossils have been found all over the world - in Europe, Australia, Japan and even Kansas - in lands that once lay on the floors of Jurassic and Triassic seas.

He seemed curious, and a little surprised. I sipped my vodka tonic. "No." "Good." He tucked a curl behind my ear. "I promise you'll enjoy yourself." "Yeah?" I took his wine glass and set it on the table, then lifted his wrist and ran my lips over the sensitive underside. His skin was cool with an earthy, very male scent.

Seducing the Sun Fae is a steamy standalone romance with an HEA that begins the Fada Shapeshifter Series. If you crave dark shifters, glittering fae and emotionally charged storylines, this series is for you! Keep reading for an excerpt. THE FADA Shapeshifters created during Dionysus's legendary bacchanals from a combination of fae, human, and animal genes. They’re dark, ruthless, untamed—but when they love, it's forever. *Best Shapeshifter Series, Paranormal Romance Guild Reviewer's Choice Awards* All of the Fada Shapeshifter stories are standalone with a happily ever after, but the people, clans and stories interconnect. EXCERPT: Cleia sighed and suddenly Dion understood what was wrong. She didn’t want harmless. She wanted danger. The lady was bored with men who danced to her tune. Ah. He’d be happy to provide the queen with a little…excitement. He crouched on his haunches in front of her and put out his hand. “Give me your foot.” She hesitated and he waited, unmoving. In this dance, she would learn that he was the leader, she the follower. She slanted him a look from under her lashes and then, setting her wine on the floor, placed a slender foot in his palm. It was clad in a jewel-encrusted sandal: rubies, emeralds, diamonds. The fae loved bright, glittering things. It was yet another weakness, something he could use against the shallow, party-girl queen. Right now she wasn’t thinking about jewels, though. Her gaze was all for him. Her hands clenched on her lap, but she held herself still, waiting to see what he’d do next. Keeping his eyes on hers, he undid the sandal strap and slid his finger under her arch, tracing a slow path down the sensitive skin. Her breath hitched. He removed the sandal and pressed a kiss to her instep, then placed her foot on the chair seat so that her knee was bent, opening her to him. “Keep it there.” Her throat worked but she obeyed. He removed the other sandal and kissed that instep as well. Her breath released in an audible whoosh. His lips curved against her soft skin. “You like that.” Their eyes met and he inhaled sharply. Deus, her irises were beautiful: a tawny, sun-touched brown. “Mm,” she murmured. “More.” Their gazes locked, but when he simply stared at her unmoving, she added, “Please.” Triumph streaked through him. He’d won. She just didn’t know it yet. “As you wish, querida..." *2016 EPIC Awards Finalist, Best Fantasy/Paranormal Romance* KEYWORDS: shifter, alpha male, fae queen, fated mates, mate bond, happily ever after, alpha male romance book, alpha male romance ebook, alpha shapeshifter romance, alpha shifter fated mates, rebecca rivard mates, fated mates paranormal romance, shifter fae romance book, shifter fae romance series, strangers to lovers, instant attraction, heat level, fated mates novel, soul mates, destined mates, shifter romance ebook, paranormal fiction series, strong heroine, fae romance novel, fae queen romance novel, shifter mates, fated mates, enemies to lovers romance, enemies to lovers paranormal romance book, sexy shifter book, sexy paranormal romance book, steamy paranormal romance novel, steamy shifter mates, shapeshifter clan romance series, urban fantasy, sexy urban fantasy, fantasy romance, sexy fantasy romance, unusual shapeshifters, band of brothers series, Latino hero paranormal romance, Latino hero romance, treacherous fae encounters, captivating world-building, romantic suspense, intense chemistry between characters, HEA (happily ever after), everlasting love and bonds, abduction/seduction, riveting paranormal romance series
