BENEATH THE NIGHT
by Jen Colly
Pub date: 4/25/2017
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Sometimes survival means surrendering
everything . . .
Lord Navarre Casteel wakes from a long sleep to
find the vampire city he rules forever changed and his future in the
hands of a mysterious beauty who offers her life for his.
Fiery-haired Cat survives his feeding, fueling Navarre’s body and
mind—as well as his suspicion that she is one of the Forbidden—a
lethal mix of vampire and human blood. Yet that doesn’t stop the
throb of Navarre’s desire, the feeling that she is destined to be
his mate, to hell with consequences. . . .
A solitary fighter sworn to protect the
children in her charge, Cat never expects to feel so much for Navarre
in the face of his savage feeding. Which is why his offer of
protection is nearly her undoing. For how can she let down her guard
when she has always walked alone? But Cat has never faced an enemy
like the one she faces now, never felt such a powerful need to
surrender to the force of love . . .

EXCERPT
Peace.
He didn’t care for the word, didn’t believe in its existence. The concept
seemed possible, and certainly desired, but he’d yet to witness it in
his own life. Even when Balinese had been under Lord Navarre’s
rule, the
city prospering and harmonious, Devlin Savard had not been at peace.
Savard
glanced over his shoulder for the second time tonight. Something had
him on edge. He scanned the tree line at his back. Nothing. From
where he stood, high on a hillside, the impressive château below him seemed
somehow benign. Yet it concealed the entrance to Balinese, a vast underground
city of vampires. The forest surrounding the château took it a
step
further, cloaking the stone structure from any who might wander near. Winter
was well on the way, and though snow had yet to fall, it would come
soon enough. The château had been sealed and prepped months ago, and
only in the last few weeks had the chill of the night permeated the ground
and seeped into the city below. Savard
cocked his head slightly. A low ripple of energy in the air sent his
senses on high alert, rousing survival instincts that had refused to
fade
over
time. Someone, or something, approached.
He
curled his fingers around the hilt of his sword, but then the shift
in energy
became substantial and settled at his right side. Heavy, like waves on
the ocean. Then, though the air around him was already cold, a
chilled patch
of air pushed toward him.
“Report,”
Savard commanded. Keir dropped out of his invisible Spirit form
and appeared at Savard’s right.
“You’re
damn hard to sneak up on,” Keir said, and then suddenly thinking
better of his words, he raised his hands in mock surrender. “Not that
I was sneaking.” Savard
nodded, but said nothing. It was best others didn’t know how
Savard’s
talents worked, especially when he knew of no other who possessed a
similar gift.
Jen Colly is the rare case of an author who
rebelled against reading assignments throughout her school years. Now
she prefers reading books in a series, which has led her to writing
her first paranormal romance series: The Cities Below. She will write
about anything that catches her fancy, though truth be told, her
weaknesses are pirates and vampires. She lives in Ohio with her
supportive husband, two kids, one big fluffy dog, and four rescued
cats.
