Keeping Blood: When your a dangerous hybrid, every immortal is your enemy.

.

Born into a world of immortal creatures Alexia is a one of a kind hybrid between her vampire mother and werewolf father. Shunned by both species she is alone in her world, wishing only to be human and for once, truly accepted. Ian, a werewolf from another pack, shows up and claims she is his fated mate, much to his own displeasure. When Alexia's parents disappear, she is forced to ask Ian and a very unpleasant vampire, Paxton, for help in finding them. Thrown together in their mission to save her parents will they also find that they share a fate to be mated. Will Alexia finally find acceptance with Ian, or will their differences keep them apart.

.

Ian was around the table in an instant, his hands grabbing her arms in a brutal grip, his glowing eyes bored into her with barely restrained violence.

Alexia felt her blood start to pound through her veins, she knew if she hadn't drank blood earlier today she would have merged and ripped out his throat to protect herself from him. She had finally pushed him too far, he was going to treat her like she expected, and then she could hurt him back and be satisfied that she was right. There was no chance for a true mating with him or any other were.

"No one deserves the kind of treatment you have been dealt. I am your mate and as is my right I will protect you." He bent his head close to hers and his hot breath fanned her cheek, his mouth whispered so near her ear she could feel his lips brush against her sensitive skin. "I want you, Alexia, because you are strong and you are beautiful. I will have you because you are my mate."

As his words sank into her bruised soul he anger turned to something else, something hotter and so much more unsettling.

Alexia could hear his blood pulsing at his throat, so near her mouth. Her fangs extended and her mouth watered for a taste of him. Desire swirled fast and hot, low in her belly, she couldn't hold back the hungry groan.

My New Series

January 15th 2010 was the release date for Blood Visions the first in the Immortal Council Series. This has been such a fun project, that I am still working on currently. It is a world of immortals interacting, with little to do with the humans around them. I am so thoroughly enjoying this world I am creating that I continue to create more and more future stories for it, which is not a bad thing I suppose.

In this first book Blood Visions you meet a character who has recently been trying to take over my life, Zyra. She even has her own twitter account (www.twitter.com/zyrazyra) and blogs every Monday (www.naughtylittlevamp.blogspot.com) now because she refused to stay in my head. Another very fun thing I have found with this series. I really enjoy giving my character a life outside of the story.

I am tempted to give more life to some of my other characters from this series, but as of yet I haven't. I may though, if I can find the time. It can be hard enough being me, if I try and be a bunch of characters as well I will never get any writing done.

Blood Visions was not the first story in the series I wrote. I actually began with the second story, it was an idea my lovely husband actually inspired on accident and I ran with it. The words just flew, then before I finished I wanted to write for the Tarot series at www.extasybooks.com and picked the strength card. So my story is based loosely off the meaning of the strength tarot card and it inspired a pre-story for my series. I am glad it did, I think that my series would have been missing some important information if it didn't have this story first. It is the beginning of it all.

Can the patience of his beautiful enemy give him the will to control himself, and can they find a way to pure ecstasy together in bed?
