Magic Unchained

Cara Liu is determined to unite the forces under her leadership but when Nightkeeper Sven enters the scene, Cara has trouble separating her duty to her people from her desire for her ex-lover. Their secret affair will not only jeopardize a tenuous alliance among the Nightkeepers, but it also distracts them from a danger within their own ranks planning a vicious betrayal...


Lord of the Wolfyn

Once upon a time…the Blood Sorcerer vanquished the kingdom of Elden. To save their children, the queen scattered them to safety and the king filled them with vengeance. Only a magical timepiece connects the four royal heirs…and time is running out…

For practical Reda Weston, nothing could explain how reading a sexy version of “Little Red Riding Hood” catapulted her into another realm—face-to-fang with the legendary wolf-creature who seduced women. A wolf who transformed into a dark, virile man…

Dayn cursed the Sorcerer that turned him wolfyn and damned him to a lonely fate. As a beast, he mated with women to gain strength. Strength he needed to rescue his royal parents. But as a man, he craved Reda’s heated, sizzling touch. With little time left, Dayn had to either embrace his wolf to save his kingdom…or fight it to save his woman.

Demonkeepers

Ancient prophecy holds that 12/21/2012 will bring a global cataclysm. Mankind's only hope lies with the Nightkeepers, modern magic-wielding warriors who must find their destined mates and fulfill old legends to defeat the rise of terrible Mayan demons.

All his life Lucius has been an outsider. He yearns to be strong, to be a warrior like the Nightkeepers. And when the Prophet's magic begins to change him, Lucius finds himself becoming the sort of man he's always wanted to be.

Held back by her lack of a warrior's magic and the strictures of her bloodline, Jade longs to break out of her supporting role. Determined to prove her worth among the Nightkeepers at any cost, she won't let anything stand in her way-- especially petty matters like love.

When Lucius and Jade are charged with rescuing the Mayan sun god from the underworld, they ignore their growing attraction. But unless they can confront their demons and accept that love isn't a weakness, even destiny might not be able to save them.

Then he was dragged into the world of the Nightkeepers and their fight to prevent the world from ending in 2012. And instead of being an observer of history, he is suddenly on the front lines of the war between good and e

Nightkeepers

The exciting debut of a new paranormal romance series As a Miami narcotics detective, Leah Daniels never knows how her day will turn out. But she certainly never expected to be strapped to a stone altar, the human sacrifice in an ancient Mayan ritual meant to coax up a demon from the underworld. Or that she'd be saved by a handsome warrior-priest king who claims to recognize her from his visions... Jaguar Strike wishes he hadn't made the mistake of reuniting his fellow warrior priests, or broken the law by saving their chosen human sacrifice. Now, he has no choice but to join forces with Leah and invoke dangerous magic in a death-defying race against the end of time.

I am so glad I took a chance on Jessica Andersen and the Night Keepers. I had read an interview in Romantic Times and then it became available for review. I took it as a sign and asked to review it. It arrived about a week later and I dove right in. This is a very well researched novel.

I have never heard of this author before but when I saw that she was recommended by two of my favorite authors Suzanne Brockmann and J.R. Ward. I had to check it out. Thank god I did.

It is the up to the Night Keepers, a group of priests and warriors with special powers, to send it back to the un
