“Never open the gray book. Not for any reason!”

To become a Master Wizard, Brynn Nightflyer apprentices herself to man with a shady past; a man who has turned into a recluse. Whether he wants to train her or not, she expects him to meet the requirements of his position and help her hone her magical skills. She’s not prepared for the overwhelming sexual chemistry with her new instructor or the fact that, after everything they’ve shared together, he still wants her to leave his planet as soon as possible.

Draco Pendragon wasn’t planning to let his new apprentice stay on his world, let alone seduce her, but he can’t resist her lush curves and quick tongue. Sex with her is hotter than anything he’s had before, and Brynn’s considerable magical ability adds to the intensity of their couplings. But even as their relationship grows, Draco can’t forget that he’s hunted by shadows of his past — shadows that would like to see him dead.

Note to readers: This is a spicy book! Please try one of my other titles if spicy material might be offensive. I write all kinds of books, from clean and wholesome to action adventure, with no sensual overtones at all. This story is 'out' of the wholesome category! It’s meant for readers who like things hot.

Continuing the series…

Skord Shorner is an ancient vampire who values his honor above his own life.

When his mate is endangered by his reckless actions, all esteem is lost and he must redeem himself in her eyes as well as within the ranks of the other agents in The Nightwatchers crime fighting organization.

Codes of chivalry might have to be abandoned when an old, cloaked enemy uses every conniving scheme to retrieve dangerous magical objects before Skord and his friends can locate them.

Travel, adventure, excitement, and unexpected turns lead the heroes deeper into mysterious cases where anyone can be lying, almost no one can be trusted.

If old enemies are keeping secrets, so are the leaders of the entire Nightwatcher agency.

This is a continuation of The Nightwatchers series – stories where a few vampires are the good guys and some humans exist only to destroy each other.

by Candace Sams

$2.99

The Nightwatchers crime fighting, action-adventure series continues…

There was a time when men believed in honor more than anything else.
Chivalry was the rule of the day.

In the continuing series of The Nightwatchers, Skord Shorner seeks to recover magical relics that he once lost in 1816. Only when they are locked safely away from humanity can he rejoin the vampiric agency he once loved and thereby regain his honor.

When Skord is ordered to work with an unknown Irish woman, to accomplish this task, suspicions arise.
Who is Chalyce Duncan? What secrets is she hiding and why is she more important to the agency than some of its most experienced members?

Lies are compounded when a cagey, murderous vampire enters into the search for the relics.

It’s now a race between good and evil; right and wrong.

Skord must find the artifacts he lost before sinister minions of darkness use them for evil purposes.

Surrounded by vampires who want to see him dead, the hero must rely on his cunning and experience to keep himself alive and recover what he lost, so long ago.

Stone Heart: Tales of The Order Jul 31, 2018

by Candace Sams

$2.99

“I shall not forget what you have done. Not ever or ever.”

Three hundred years ago, Angus MacGregor was the most feared and hated man in his village. Appalled by his lack of
compassion, the Sorceress of the Ancients turned him into a statue that was as ugly as his demeanor, condemning him to miserable solitude in a stone prison. Unbeknownst to them, however, one of his rare strokes of kindness would be the key to his freedom.

Karen Matthews’ strong spirit is no longer enough to sustain her weakening body. She knows she doesn’t have long to live, but she’s determined to fulfill her beloved aunt’s unusual last wish. And while she’s off on this bizarre quest, she might as well enjoy the adventure. What she doesn’t count on is the existence of a magical Order, where fairies, elves and Druids exist, and freely practice magic. Neither does she expect to meet Angus, or to uncover the endless depths of his heart.

This is the third book in the Tales of The Order (TM) fantasy series beginning with Gryphon's Quest and The Gazing Globe.

The Farmer
Blain McTavish is a Maine farmer with issues. He likes to run in the woods at night...nude. Aside from thinking he's going crazy, his health is steadily declining, and no one seems to know why.

The Apprentice
Afton O'Malley is an almost powerless Druid who accompanies the Sorceress of the Ancients, to the United States. Without the proper conjuring skills, how is she supposed to convince Blain that he's a creatures of magic - half fairy and half Druid? And how can she save him from an evil conjurer who wants him dead?

The Evil
A malevolent force won't stop until it can control the mythical creatures protected by the Sorceress of the Ancients. Blain, his uncle, the sorceress and her apprentice stand in the way. If small hexes and dark magic won't work, then it's time to attack. And someone is going to die.

The Adventure
Can Blain accept a world of magic? Will the creatures of the Order allow him to live among them? And how can he and Afton ever have a normal relationship when some evil presence wants him dead? No matter how far Blain runs, a horrifying being follows. And he fears it will never leave him and the woman he loves alone.

Gryphon's Quest: Tales of The Order Mar 30, 2018

$2.99

"To you, I’m but a dream in the night. To those who do wrong by my people, and harm others through deceit, I’m a nightmare!"

Gryphon O’Conner wondered why the sorceress’s latest summons contained the unusual words, ‘Come without delay…no time for explanation’. Her instructions usually included dates, times, and places for his next assignment, but she never used language indicating such urgency.

Every instinct told him he should have left already, but the sorceress could damned well wait. Any mission she had in mind required preparing his body and spirit. That preparation could only be accomplished by cleansing at leisure, in an enchanted pool.

Besides, what was she going to do if he didn’t jump at her command as he’d always done? Would she turn him into a creature everyone in the Order feared?

Well, it was too bloody late for that!

This is the first title in the Tales of The Order series which includes: Gryphon's Quest, The Gazing Globe, Stone Heart, Goblin Moon, The Craftsman, Satyr, Keeper of the Loch and more to come...
