FEAR FOR ME – Available now

Posted in Romance on November 12th, 2013 by Cynthia Eden

FEAR FOR ME is available now!

If you read DIE FOR ME earlier this year, then you might recognize some characters in this tale. 😉 When US marshal Anthony Ross survived in DIE FOR ME, I thought it was only fair to give that man a book of his own…and FEAR FOR ME was born.

FEAR FOR ME is a very dark tale, featuring a twisted serial killer. If you liked my DEADLY books, then FEAR FOR ME should be right up your alley!

She’s the obsession two men share: one wants her love, the other wants her life.

A shared passion for justice first brought Baton Rouge district attorney Lauren Chandler and US marshal Anthony Ross together—when each played their part in bringing down the infamous Bayou Butcher. The sparks flying between the two made it clear they weren’t just a legal dream team. Then desire had to make way for duty, and what they had was done. But it would never be over.

Five years later, it’s none other than the Butcher who gets things started again, when his shocking jailbreak reunites the lawyer and the lawman…and reignites their love. But this time, the pair is in danger of being permanently parted—by a killer with revenge on his mind, and Lauren on the top of his list. As a new wave of terror sweeps through the streets and swamps of Baton Rouge, one man will pit his boundless passion against another’s relentless hate, for the life of the woman who obsesses them both.

***

And here’s an excerpt from the book for you:

She closed in on Anthony. “We need to talk.”

A muscle flexed in his jaw. “Later, ma’am.” His native Georgia drawl rolled lightly beneath his words. “Right now, I have a killer to hunt.”

She grabbed his arm. Held tight. “A killer who was in my house. A killer who murdered my friend.” Karen, I am so sorry. Each time she thought of Karen, it felt as if someone were clawing open her chest. “You aren’t shutting me out, understand, Ross? I’m working this with you. I am going to make sure this city doesn’t fall back into the Bayou Butcher madness it faced before.” When fear had held them all captive.

Fear of the dark.

Fear of the monster who waited in the dark.

Jon Walker had made children—and even adults—fear the boogeyman once more. Because he truly was that monster.

“I tracked him before,” Anthony said quietly. No emotion entered his voice or his gaze. “And I can do it again.”

Without you.

Unspoken, but the words were still there, hanging between them.

She wouldn’t back down. “My office will give you any support you need. We will work together on this.” She knew the reporters were probably already swarming outside. Paul had been right on that score—a story about her, about the Bayou Butcher—hell, yes, they were talking a front-page spread.

Anthony bent toward her. His scent—rich, masculine—surrounded her. His mouth was close to her ear when he whispered. “Haven’t you already come close enough to death?”

She turned her head. Met his stare. “Haven’t you?” Because she knew the risks he took, day in and day out.

Even when he’d left her, she’d followed his career. Anthony’s cases were the darkest she’d ever encountered. Brutal killers. Sadistic criminals.

Nightmares.

“Not close enough,” he told her softly. “Not yet.” His green gaze heated as it swept over her. “I missed you.”

Then he was gone. Hurrying away with the other two men as they went out on the hunt.

Two New Releases!

Posted in Romance on November 11th, 2013 by Cynthia Eden

Before I get to the news about my new releases, I wanted to take a moment and thank all of the brave men and women who have fought to protect our country. Veterans have made so many sacrifices for us all–and I am grateful beyond words for all that they do. If you would like to help a hero this Veteran’s Day, please check out Wounded Warriors. I think that the Wounded Warriors program is absolutely fantastic, and it deserves all the support that it can get!

I have two new book releases this week, and to celebrate those releases, I’ll be offering various giveaways throughout the week on my Facebook Fan Page. I figured…why just have a day of giveaways? Let’s have fun the whole week! So if you get a chance, come by and join the fun.

Here are the two releases that I have this week. First up…A VAMPIRE’S CHRISTMAS CAROL (It’s available now for just .99!)

This holiday season has bite.

Ben Prescott hates Christmas—he’s a vampire, and to him, there’s certainly nothing jolly about the holiday season. While the humans are running around being merry, he’s hunting in the shadows. Ben plans to spend the holidays his way…by stalking deadly prey.

But fate has other plans for Ben.

Three visitors are coming Ben’s way…A demon who will force Ben to face his past, a ghost who will show Ben the present he could have, and a shifter who will reveal the darkness that waits in Ben’s future. Unless Ben can change his ways, he may just turn into a real monster, one who can’t be saved by anyone or anything.

‘Tis the season…to be undead.

Ben’s redemption rests in the hands of the one woman he loved and lost—Simone Laurent. If Ben is going to have a chance at being more than just the beast in the darkness, he has to prove himself to the lovely Simone. A very hard task, considering that, once upon a Christmas Eve, Simone died in Ben’s arms…

And for my romantic suspense fans, FEAR FOR ME releases on 11/12/13.

A Vampire’s Christmas Carol

Posted in Romance on November 6th, 2013 by Cynthia Eden

It’s almost release time!

Over the summer, I asked my readers…would you like for me to write a dark romantic suspense tale for the holidays? Or are you in the mood for a sexy paranormal tale during this time of merriment? The votes came in…and my readers determined that I would be writing a paranormal tale for them. 😉 And so A VAMPIRE’S CHRISTMAS CAROL was born!

On 11/11/11, A VAMPIRE’S CHRISTMAS CAROL will be releasing–and the digital version of the story will be just .99.

I had such an incredible time writing this book–it’s got vampires, demons, shifters…oh, the fun!! And I created a completely new mythology for my paranormal characters in this tale. Everything about them is new! I sure hope that readers enjoy this book–and that everyone is gearing up for a fantastic holiday season.
