Piper had no idea that being a Private Eye could be both exciting and downright boring at the same time. It was exciting being on her own, making her own rules and proving to her ex-husband that she could stand on her own two feet. However, she hadn't had a case in weeks. Both her patience and bank account were wearing thin. Add in the fact that for the last five months, she'd been as celibate as a nun. Which meant she was bored, broke, hungry and horny. Not a good combination. Chase was a Dusk Hunter. However, ever since his partner had died, he'd gone rogue. He was determined to find the vampire responsible and bring him to justice. However, even a hunter has to eat. So, he'd taken a skip trace bounty that led him to the Big Easy only to stumble across the scent of his nemesis. Tracking the bastard wasn't difficult. Nevertheless cornering and killing him would be, Chase knew that. However, he didn't expect to witness a murder nor being pulled into defending the life of a gorgeous redhead.As the old saying goes, be careful of what you wish for, you might get what you want. Piper finally had a case, and a lucrative one at that. But suddenly everything goes wrong and she finds herself pulled into a dusky underworld that she knows nothing about. Not having any choice, she must rely on Chase, a man she barely knows, other than the fact that his very touch sends shivers down her spine.NOTE: China Doll (The Dusk Hunters - Book 1) is 27,000-word novella. It is the beginning of a new series with a kick-ass sassy female private-eye and a sexy werewolf drifter as they join forces to combat an ancient evil. It is part-romance, part-erotica, part-detective thriller and very much a paranormal story. If you are offended by strong language, explicit sex and violence, then this is not the novel for you.
