Synopsis:
He was born to kill
her…but he’ll risk all to save her.
Every day, Harley fights the urge to embrace the dark
heritage that could turn her Unseelie. Evil. Bad. A nightmarish monster like the ones that wiped out her family.
The only thing keeping her on this side of Seelie is a promise made to the
ghostly man who saved her that terrible night.
Whenever she’s tempted, she calls up a vision of his eyes. Hears
his voice calling her back from the brink of madness. Years later, when she
returns to the scene of her living hell, he’s her only hope for salvation.
Calan, the leader of the Wild Hunt, was created to protect
mankind from the Unseelie Court, not love one of them. He never expected the
rightness he felt with her all those years ago would explode into desire.
But saving her from a fate she can’t escape could damn them
both…and leave the world open for destruction.
Warning: Contains a half-fae woman who could really use a Seelie
version of AA to stay clean and monster-free. And a rider of the Wild Hunt
who’ll take any risk to keep her safe from her enemies. Including himself.

Excerpt #1 (PG-13)
“You’re alive.”
She froze. The low, gravelly voice of her ghost man caressed her as
tangibly as it had all those years ago. She dropped her hands. Hovering inches
away were the eyes she’d seen in her dreams every night since.
“Oh God.” She scrambled back and tripped over her bag, landing on her
ass.
“Be calm. You’re safe.”
Peace settled over her as if he’d taken her anxiety away with those
words. Still, she inched away from his disembodied eyes. Caution had kept her
alive in the face of a lifetime of evil. It didn’t matter if she’d felt as if
she’d known him for ages. She’d learned years ago, nothing was as it seemed.
Those with the ability to use glamour could create illusions out of thin air.
She settled on bent legs and studied the apparition for a clue as to
whether he was a figment of her imagination or not. The oval surrounding the
spectral display showed tan skin, ridiculously long lashes and dark eyebrows.
Her pulse kicked up. Excitement, desire, fear—she wasn’t sure what caused it.
She only knew she couldn’t look away.
“You.” She swallowed hard. She still couldn’t believe her eyes. Couldn’t
deny the sight either. “It’s you.”
“Yes. It is.”
A long moment passed where they held each other’s gazes. So many times,
she’d fantasized about what she would say or do if she ever reconnected with
him. None of the scenarios fit the pregnant silence stretching between them.
She let them slip through her fingers and asked the first question that came to
her mind.
“What’s your name?” It had always bothered her not having one.
“I am Calan. Yours?”
Calan. She let his name settle over her heart. “Mine is Harley.”
“Harley.” Her name spoken in his deep voice sounded sexy, something she
never thought her unusual name could be.
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, Harley.”
Raul’s words that night had confused and scared her. She hadn’t known
what to believe. Or who.
“I ran just like you told me to.”
“I also told you to come back.”
She’d tried. Raul had followed her. Attacked her. She glanced at her
hands that had once been covered in blood. Raul’s blood. She lowered her gaze
and prayed Calan didn’t see the elation in her eyes the memory brought. It had
felt good to hurt Raul. That had scared her most of all, and it was the reason
she’d stayed away.
“Yes.” She turned her head, unable to look into his eyes. “You did.”
Excerpt #2 (PG)
“What do you know of the Wild Hunt myth?” It’d been playing over and over
in her head. She kept trying to find a good spin on it, but the little she’d
read about it left her wary.
He walked toward the picture. “I always wondered why Mom displayed this
piece so I researched it.” He leaned against the mantel and faced her. “There
are numerous versions of the Wild Hunt myth. Most have one thing in common.
They’re a bunch of spectral horsemen riding across the night sky with their
hounds. They’re unstoppable, and those unlucky enough to step into their path
are killed or carried back with them to Hell.”
She sighed. That was what she feared.
“But,” Ian went on, “some said they were true hunters who roamed the
earth in search of escaped beings from the Underworld. One version even
suggested they hunted fairies.”
Hope rose. She joined him at the fireplace and stared at the picture. “Do
you believe they’re real?”
“Maybe.” Ian shrugged. “I never thought redcaps or sluaghs were until
they killed our family.”
“But do you think they’re good?”
“Good is relative. Look at you.”
Excerpt #3 (R)
A long moment passed where they watched each other,
two strangers on the verge of becoming so much more. The full impact hit her,
left her a little shaky inside but not anxious. No, excitement sped her pulse.
She licked her lips, already envisioning what they’d
do together. “So, am I right?”
He slid his hungry gaze to her breasts. The points
stood erect, and the sheen of her skin betrayed how hot she’d gotten from
touching herself.
“Oh yes, I’ll fuck you, my Harley. Sometimes hard and
fast. Other times so damn slowly, you’ll beg me to fill you up.” He met her
eyes. “I’ll take you so often and in so many ways, you’ll want me to be the
center of your world as you are now mine.”
He released her wrists and covered one breast with his
hand. The hard point pushed against his callused skin, and a jolt of
electricity raced down her spine. He captured the tip she’d teased minutes ago.
The small pinch arched her back.
“Do you like that?”
She flicked her gaze from his long fingers holding her
nipple to his face and nodded. “Do it again.”
One corner of his mouth rose. He rolled the tip, and
she gasped. Another tug clenched her core. “Beautiful. I can’t wait to watch
that look pass over your face when I fuck you.”
She whimpered.
The smile giving him a roguish look turned wicked.
“You do want me to ram my cock inside you and make you come apart around my
dick”—he ran the tip of his tongue over his upper lip—“don’t you?”
“I…I…” She couldn’t get the words out.
He released her hands and sat back so he knelt between
her thighs. Her attention shifted from the desire stamped on his face to the
long length of his erection molded by his pants.
“Touch it.”

About Author:
A true romantic at heart, Nancy Corrigan is convinced
there’s a knight in shining armor for every woman (or man), but you won’t find
damsels in distress in her stories. She adores pairing alpha heroes with women
strong enough to match them and bring them to their knees. She also enjoys
flipping the traditional roles in romances because her motto is—love and people
should never be forced to conform to anyone’s norm.
She holds a degree in chemistry and has worked in research
but now focuses on ensuring quality. She considers it the perfect outlet for
her as she’s the first to admit she has some OCD tendencies. It carries over
into her writing life too. While engrossed in a novel, she has a habit of
forgetting to eat and sleep. Fortunately, she’s married to her own knight in
shining armor who understands her oddities and loves her anyway. They reside in
Pennsylvania with their three children, dog, snake and guinea pigs. Her other
interests include tattoos, animals, classic cars and all things spooky and
sexy.
