WE KILL FOR PROFIT WARRIOR GODDESS Cherish is known for a cold, brutal, pitiless demeanor. She learned those traits while she'd lived - a penniless orphan in a cruel world. Born illegitimate. Her presence barely tolerated in life. Vampirism set her free. Gave her value. Nobody knows the soft heart she keeps hidden behind her carefully crafted personae. Protected. Safe. No one will ever find out. But then fate sends the ultimate problem... RAPTOR SPECIALIST Doctor Samson Reid is a late bloomer. He couldn't get a date. He ceased trying. He focused on birds. They didn't care what he looked like. A self-described 'bird-nerd', he excels at handling the most savage of birds. The raptors. And then life hands him handsomeness. Women come out in droves to see him and his birds. He feels like a stranger in his own life. The entire world is weird. And it's about to get a lot weirder... PREDATORS Cherish can't believe this. She's mating? How is this possible? And why now? Shouldn't she want one first? Suffer loneliness? Ache for companionship? And shouldn't a mate be difficult to find? Surely, he wouldn't appear one night in her hometown? Without one bit of searching? She can't be mating. She refuses to accept it. ...and him.
Author
Jackie Ivie was born and raised in a suburb outside Utah's capital, beautiful Salt Lake City. The second in a family of four daughters and one son, Jackie was constantly amusing her siblings with her invented games, escapades, and stories. And she was always reading. She would even walk the family dog, with one hand holding the leash, while the other held the ever-present book. No subject went unread, but once she discovered Historical Romances, there was no doubting her favorite genre. Jackie has always been the busy type, rarely sitting still without being occupied in at least one activity, and usually more. When she was younger, it was nothing to find her watching television, while doing her homework, listening to music, crocheting like a madwoman, and reading, all at the same time. After graduating, Jackie gained secure employment with a large service company and relocated with her growing family to the neighboring, sparsely-populated state of Wyoming. She then spent several years enjoying the wildlife, scenery, and open space that Wyoming is known for. In addition to writing, Jackie is an accomplished artist in several mediums, preferring mixed media. She has several pictures in print and has exhibited in art showings throughout the West. There was never anything she loved doing more than reading, however, and once she discovered the thrill involved with putting her own words and fantasies on paper there was no stopping her. In 2001, Jackie and her family took a huge step and moved to the largest state of the nation; Alaska. Although it was her job that brought her here, Jackie has grown to love this land of amazing contrasts, breathtaking vistas, and the ever-present resident, the Alaskan moose. There's nothing else like it, and the very long days of summer lend themselves to hours and hours of energizing tasks, while the long winter nights are just right for her real love...writing. Jackie has now written thirteen novels and is continually starting more. The thrill of writing has now been enhanced by seeing her actual story in print. Lady of the Knight is her first published work. It will be followed by Tender is the Knight scheduled for release this summer. Taken from Jackie Ivie's Official Website at http://www.jackieivie.com/
