After a childhood spent watching her psychic mother eek out a living reading tarot cards, Hayden Farrell believes in only one thing: being a cop. When a teen-age prostitute is brutally murdered, the Boston P.D. detective must trust a stranger to catch the killer. But is she willing to risk eternity?

Valentin Grigorievich has wanted revenge since London's most notorious serial killer destroyed what he valued most more than a century earlier. To get it, he needs Hayden's help--and maybe her life as well. Will the vampire's plan give him the satisfaction he craves or rob him of his soulmate?

Risking Eternity is the first novella in the Timeshifters series (forthcoming 2012).

In a desperate attempt to flee the advances of her lecherous employer, governess Lydia Taylor steals his pistol and sets off across the Yorkshire countryside. After spending two months as a virtual prisoner at Stanbury Manor she wants nothing to do with Lord Hugh Stanbury—or any other man.

When Lord Jack Sibley glimpses a ghostly figure wandering the moors his first instinct is to ignore the auburn-haired beauty. Rumored to be the devil incarnate, he has a reputation as a heartless scoundrel who murdered his brother’s fiancée on the eve of her wedding. Does Jack set out to rescue the beautiful woman to placate the demons that haunt him--or is his mission merely a clever ruse to bed yet another woman?

Whether she is threatening him with a pistol or seducing him by firelight, the 23-year-old Lydia is as untamed as the moors she grew up on. Though he dare not admit it, Jack may have finally met the only woman whose passion can rival his own . . . but if he is certain of one thing it’s that passion can be deadly.
