BLURB
Marie Josette d’Orgemont, cousin to Louis XVI, watched in horror, as a rogue creature took her husband’s life before turning on her. A powerful vampire swept in and spared her life, but she never suspected that surviving meant immortality or the price she’d have to pay to protect her surviving son.

Centuries later in Miami, with her family on the verge of extinction, Marie is preoccupied with the continuation of her human bloodline. When she meets sexy and persistent, Odin Ulfsson, his icy-blue gaze and burning touch are hard to resist.

Will a forbidden romance with the Nordic werewolf be the key to her happiness or will it set in motion a wrath that endangers not only her last human heir but her entire existence?

A hot breath burned the top of her shoulder. She froze, realizing too late she had misread the werewolf signaling behind her. How could she have been so careless? She pushed all thoughts of Abby away and mentally prepared to fight.
He towered over her, at least seven feet tall. She was a petite five feet two inches with maybe another four in heels. Despite the differential between them, what disturbed her was his stealth and agility. He had crept up behind her without her sensing him.
As he breathed, he edged closer and closer until their bodies touched and the heat emitting from his body seared through her like brushfire.
A wave of desire, fanned by the heat of his skin, coursed through her with such momentum she swayed toward him. She was dimly aware of the sheer insanity of her predicament. One minute she was fighting a lesser of his kind and the next she swelled with desire for this werewolf. What was happening to her?
He leaned into her and nudged her neck.
She couldn’t move, could only stand there and suffer the exquisite heat of their bodies molded together.
He growled, and she closed her eyes, absorbing his scent. Unlike what she had just fought, he smelled like the earth scorched by sunlight. He was exciting, and images of a blazing hearth and tangled limbs came to mind. She wanted him and the realization was as surprising as it was embarrassing.
She tilted her face up and was immediately lost in the gold depths of his eyes, more human than beast. Different. Time and place disappeared into nothingness.
He reached for her finally and the movement snapped their connection.
“State your business,” she hissed. Her hands closed into fists.
He sniffed.
“Enough, dog.” She struck him, jolting him backward. He was quicker and bigger than the others but still no match for her. Or was he? She dismissed the errant thought. He was just an animal and she was a Princess of the Blood with the essence of an ancient master running through her.
Catching him by the mane, she flipped him forward. The huge blond and silver-haired thing landed hard in front of her, but immediately recovered, jumping up into an offensive position. He growled, but didn’t attack. He backed away as upright as a human, with hind claws that clanked on the gravel.
His neck stretched and the aura around him thickened and sizzled. After a couple of pops, he shifted from wolf mixture into full naked human.
She gaped.

MY INTERVIEW WITH JANE EDERLYN
How would you describe your style of writing to someone that has never read your work?
Paranormal Realism
We write stories that immerse you in another world, combining historical elements along with paranormal aspects that could almost be real. J

What mindset or routine do you feel the need to set when preparing to write (in general whether you are working on a project or just free writing)?
For us it always starts with a “what if?” We question and answer until characters come to life and the world builds. Starting with a loose outline, we tighten as we go and knit everything together: beginning, middle, end. We gather inspirations like music and pictures. Then the real journey begins, the writing.

Do you take your character prep to heart? Do you nurture the growth of each character all the way through to the page? Do you people watch to help with development? Or do you build upon your character during story creation?
We nurture each character until they are real to us, but they’re born from our asking each other the “what if?” questions.

Have you found yourself bonding with any particular character? If so which one(s)?
Jane: While all the characters have bits of ourselves, I’d love to be Marie for a day.

Ederlyn: Abby for me. We actually split ownership of the heroine and secondary heroine and it worked out in the decision making process. Less fighting.J

Do you have a character that you have been working on that you can't wait to put to paper?
We’re working on a contemporary retelling of Jane Austen and we’re obsessed with the hero. We won’t say his name…only that we LOVE him. Unfortunately, we need to finish Return, the sequel to our debut, before we can give him more writing time.

Have you ever felt that there was something inside of you that you couldn't control? If so what? If no what spurs you to reach for the unexperienced?
Our characters have a lot of say and sometimes control us.
Thank you for having us!
