LEGEND OF THE PANTERA
Hidden in the depths of the Louisiana bayous, the
Pantera, have become little more than a legend to most humans. It’s rumored
that in the ancient past twin sisters, born of magic, had created a sacred land
and claimed it as their own. From that land was born creatures who were neither
human or animal, but a mixture of the two. Faster and stronger than humans,
they have hyper acute senses, and when surrounded by the magic of the Wildlands
they’re capable of shifting into pumas. It was also whispered that they possess
other gifts. Telepathy, witchcraft, immortality, and the ability to produce a
musk that could enthrall mere mortals. Mothers warned young girls never to roam
alone near the swamps, convinced that they would be snatched by the Pantera,
while young men were trained to avoid hunting anywhere near the protected
Wildlands. Not that the warnings were always successful. What girl didn’t dream
of being seduced by a gorgeous, mysterious stranger? And what young man didn’t
want to try his skill against the most lethal predators?
As the years passed, however, the sightings of the
Pantera became so rare that the rumors faded to myths. Most believed the entire
species had become extinct. Sadly they weren’t entirely mistaken...
Raphael & Parish
Book #1 and #2 in the Bayou Heat
Series
Available Now: ONLY $0.99
The brilliant and dangerous diplomat of the Pantera
shapeshifters, Raphael has devoted his life to discovering the key to the
infertility that is threatening the extinction of his puma race. Creating a
vast network of spies worldwide, he never expected to discover that the answer
might be beneath his very nose. But when Ashe, a beautiful human female,
crosses his path, his most primitive instincts are stirred.
Unable to resist, he takes her to his bed, and is
shocked when she becomes pregnant with his child. It’s a miracle that might
prove to be the salvation of his people, but only if he can keep her safe from
the mercenaries determined to kill her.
Untamed and undeniably sexy, Parish, leader of the
Pantera hunters, rarely leaves the magic of the Wildlands to deal with the
humans he despises. But with the prized and risky Pantera birth on the way,
puma shifter, Parish must travel to New Orleans to find and bring back a human
doctor. The moment he sees the lovely, talented and all too human Dr. Julia
Cabot he cannot resist the wild, potent drive to make her his. Betrayed and
destroyed by love, Julia will not let her heart choose her path again. But as
she and Parish fight to save the life of an unborn child, a fierce and
overwhelming bond develops between them, threatening her frozen heart with the
secret hope and ultimate temptation of love and family.
Bayon & Jean-Baptiste
Bayou Heat Series, #3 and #4
Available now for Only $0.99
The fight continues in the Wildlands. Facing extinction,
the Pantera have been given a miracle. A child. The first one in over fifty
years. But even as they prepare to celebrate, the enemy strikes, putting at
risk the fragile female who carries the hope of their people.
BAYON
Charming, drop-dead gorgeous Hunter Bayon is thirsting for revenge on the
enemies who slipped into the Wildlands and attacked Ashe and her vulnerable
child. Pledging to track down the cowards, Bayon goes on the hunt, pursuing the
humans to a nearby town. But searching their shabby hideaway, he makes a discovery
that shocks him to his very soul and might very well destroy the heart of the
Pantera.
JEAN-BAPTISTE
Tattooed and pierced, sexy Nurturer Jean-Baptiste has been living in utter
isolation. His cat is out of control, and the only thing that soothes the beast
is a rare mineral he keeps inking into his skin. Until he meets her: Genevieve
Burel. The beautiful and buttoned-up female puma is unlike anyone he’s ever
met. She makes his cat purr, and he knows he must possess her, mate with her.
But the secret she's keeping might threaten not only their unbridled passion
for one another, but the very future of the Pantera race.

Wow, I recommend books all the time. I think the last one I recommended was Seduced by the Vampire King by Laura Kaye. There are certain go to authors that I know have never and probably will never let me down when it comes to telling a great story and she's one of them.
