WhiteLighter by Angie Derek - Sneak Peek

WHITELIGHTER by Angie Derek. A steamy paranormal romance novella. Content warning: Violent battle scene below.   CHAPTER ONE Lily Conner raced up the stairs. Her breath came in ragged gasps. The only thing keeping her moving was the vampires in hot pursuit behind them. The hotel lobby crawled with vampires blocking their escape. Unfortunately, two vamps had spotted them darting back up the fire stairs. Her own personal vamp ran behind, keeping her going at a non-human speed and carrying her four-year-old sister. If she were holding Sophie, they wouldn’t be moving at this hard pace. “Faster!” Brenda pushed steadily against her back. She didn’t waste breath telling Brenda she couldn’t go any faster. It didn’t matter that they were being pursued. Her body could run only so fast. The sound of the other two vamps climbing a couple of stories below echoed up the stairs. Fighting against her growing fatigue, she somehow pulled the energy out to run up to the final floor of the high-r...

Spectors - Sneak Peek

Image
PROLOGUE Border Planet Region – Planet Talin Death shadowed him. He wouldn’t get off this planet alive. Luke Ryan knew the truth with every instinct he possessed. Mentally ticking off everything he would have to do, he walked as swiftly as he dared. They were behind and possibly around him, the one reason he didn’t allow himself to run and reveal he knew they were coming to take him. What they didn’t know was what he held in his possession. The one item that would allow his people a chance at taking the aliens down. If they knew he had it, he wouldn’t have made it to the docking yard. Now, he just had to get to his ship and send the information he’d obtained to O’Neal. That was the mental checklist he was going through. There were ways to intercept a coded message before it reached its recipient. He had to make sure the message wasn’t intercepted or all hope would be lost. They were too cunning and strong. Once he’d insured the information’s safety, he’d attempt to get his ship off t...

Her father disappeared while working a dangerous mission for the MSA. Now, she’s being blackmailed into finishing his mission. Available as an ebook from Smashwords and Amazon .

First, her pilot and lover, Andrew Bennet, picks a fight with her. Second, the Military Space Alliance comes across her ship when she’s running a not-so-legal job. Third, she finds out her father, a notorious space pirate himself, disappeared while working for the MSA. Fourth, and the final straw, the MSA is blackmailing her to continue the dangerous mission her father started. What else could go wrong?  2) Space pirate Captain Kristy Ryan grew up the only daughter of a notorious privateer in the Border Planet Region.
