Corrigan
Wild Hunt, Book 1
Tainted
from birth, Harley lives a life cloaked in darkness and temptation. She resists
the lure of her evil legacy by holding the memory of her ghostly savior close. Every
night without him is agony. She fantasizes about him and yearns for his body,
but he’s not the protector or lover she’s envisioned. He’s a Hunter bred to
eliminate her kind. He’s also her only hope of salvation.
Calan, the
leader of the Wild Hunt, was created to protect mankind from the Unseelie
Court. For a millennium, he’s sacrificed to ensure the horrid creatures remain
in the Underworld, but his strength wanes. He must rely on his enemy’s daughter
to save him, but he doesn’t expect the intensity of their lust or love. Her
touch calms his wild nature and ignites his carnal desires. He’ll risk all to save
her, but doing so forces him to make the ultimate sacrifice, one that’ll damn
him to suffer forever in his own living hell.
A Romantica® Paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave
Excerpt
“You.” She swallowed hard. “It’s you.”
“Yes. It is.” A long moment passed where they held each other’s
gazes. Finally, he released a shaky breath she felt skim over her cheek. She
pressed her palm to the sensitive skin to hold the warmth close. “You never
returned to me.”
She’d tried. Raul had stopped her. She’d escaped a near rape at
his hands by stabbing him but afterwards she hadn’t been quite…right. It was as
if his touch had dirtied her.
She wrapped her arms tight around her chest and pushed the
memory away. “I ran just like you told me to.”
“I also told you to come back. You promised you would.”
Guilt choked her for breaking her vow too. She looked away. “Yes, I did.”
The feather light stroke of his fingertips along her cheek
quickened her breaths. Her body reacted to the simple caress as if he’d touched
her intimately. Her breasts pebbled and warmth pooled low.
“No matter. I’m glad you finally did. I need your help.”
“What are you talking about?”
“You remember all the knowledge I shared with you, correct?”
She remembered. He’d forced information into her brain she
hadn’t known what to do with. Within one heartbeat and the next, she’d learned
everything she’d needed to know about how to avoid falling victim to the
redcaps and sluaghs. He’d also implanted a compulsion to have an obsidian blade
made that had become her constant accessory. She never left the house without
it. It was the only thing that could kill the fairies’ creatures.
She forced herself to nod. “Yeah, you saved my life.”
“I thank the gods for that, little female. I was right about
you. You are the key.”
“The key to what?”
“You will be the one who will unlock me from my prison and allow
the Wild Hunt to ride again.”
