Bayou Heat Series
New Year. New World. New Species.
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...

TALON
After the tragic death of his parents when Talon was young, he’s
dedicated his life to protecting the Pantera. To the strikingly gorgeous man,
loyalty and honor mean everything. So it’s no surprise that he’s determined to
treat Isi Rousseau as the enemy. If the elders believe she is a danger then he
will do whatever necessary to prevent her from destroying his beloved
Wildlands. But discovering the delicate beauty sleeping in his bed, Talon
discovers his noble intentions wavering. The female, with short, jet black hair
streaked with blue, and a pair of dark eyes, might act tough, but it’s obvious
to him that she’s as desperate as he is for a place to call home. More
importantly, her presence is helping keep Ashe and her baby alive.
Suddenly things are not quite as black and white as Talon assumed, and
he must decide if his loyalty to his people is worth losing his true mate.
XAVIER
He shouldn’t want his best friend’s little sister…
The drop-dead gorgeous leader of the Geeks, Xavier has one goal: find
the human male his enemies seek. Devoted to his work, and to the Pantera, there
is nothing that can distract him from accomplishing his goal. Until he spots
his best friend’s little sister alone and partying it up with a bunch of human
males at the local bar. Consumed with possessiveness, Xavier takes her home and
refuses to leave her side until her brother returns. He tries to convince
himself he’s just looking out for her, but the longer he’s around Amalie, the
harder it is to deny the molten attraction that burns between them.
She has three days to change his mind…
Beautiful and strong-willed Hunter, Amalie is free. No brother to
tell her what to do, and no Pantera watching over her because she happens to be
the last Pantera born. But before she can truly enjoy herself, her brother’s
best friend tries to put her on lockdown. Xavier has been the star in all of
Mal’s fantasies, and there’s no one she’d rather give her virginity to. But the
sexy male refuses to open his eyes and see what’s right in front of him. Mal
knows she has three days to change his mind. Three days to make him see her as
grown, and the one female he can’t resist.
