A collection of paranormal sizzle including two tales of Dark Ones and the women who've tamed them, and a short story call back to where it all began! ◆ UNLEASHED Meet Jacintha Ferreira, kitty whisperer. Or at least that’s what the guys around the Washington State Game and Wildlife office call Jas. Her skills with bigger cats than are normally found left on the back doorstep of the Cupid Cats Animal Shelter are put to the test when she encounters a sexy Dark One shapeshifter who has no idea how he became a really big kitty…but he does know a Beloved when he sees one. ◆ BRING OUT YOUR DEAD Battling a demon lord is all in a day’s work for the Dark One named Sebastian. But now he must take on a horde of unhappy zombies and an obnoxious teen vampire if he wants to win the hand of the one woman who can make him whole. Ysabelle is a woman with a past, and not a whole lot of future if a certain demon lord has his way. With zombies, demons, and a little thing like death standing in her way, will she find happiness in the man who’s seen more darkness than she can imagine? ◆ CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE? Raphael St. John and Joy Randall are finally having their happily-ever-after. Fans of the Dark Ones have often wondered about Raphael’s amber eyes and his skittishness around members of the Otherworld. Could there be more to him than meets the eye? Something not strictly human...? Note: Unleashed previously appeared in the Cupid Cats anthology; Bring Out Your Dead appeared in the Just One Sip and My Zombie Valentine anthologies; Cat Got Your Tongue appeared in My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon anthology.
Author
For as long as she can remember, Katie MacAlister has loved reading. Growing up in a family where a weekly visit to the library was a given, Katie spent much of her time with her nose buried in a book. Despite her love for novels, she didn't think of writing them until she was contracted to write a non-fiction book about software. Since her editor refused to allow her to include either witty dialogue or love scenes in the software book, Katie swiftly resolved to switch to fiction, where she could indulge in world building, tormenting characters, and falling madly in love with all her heroes. Two years after she started writing novels, Katie sold her first romance, Noble Intentions. More than thirty books followed during the years after Noble's publication. Her novels have been translated into numerous languages, been recorded as audiobooks, received several awards, and placed on the New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. She also writes for the young adult audience as Katie Maxwell, and for the mystery world as Kate Marsh. Katie lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband and dogs, and can often be found lurking around online.
