Yesterday was the release date of my first bad boys anthology, EVERLASTING BAD BOYS. (Oh, yes, I’m still celebrating!) I love Brava’s Bad Boys books, and I was absolutely thrilled to be included in this paranormal romance anthology with uber talented authors Shelly Laurenston and Noelle Mack.

My contribution to this anthology is “Spellbound“–a novella about a desperate witch and the soul-hunter who comes to her aid. Here’s a brief excerpt from my tale:
****************************************************************************
“I’ll find the one after you.” It wouldn’t be easy. The hunts never were. The psychotics were always smarter than they appeared, twisting and turning and leaving a tangled mess for him to sort out. “But it will cost you.”
That hope flared even brighter in her gaze and her whole face seemed to light up. Not pretty, beautiful. “My coven will—”
“Not your coven, sweetheart.” He wasn’t interested in the others. No, he only cared about the witch who’d drained her powers to summon him.
And then offered the man feared by all anything.
“What do you want?” No fear. Good, because he’d never wanted fear in his women.
“You.”
She shook her head. “I don’t understand.” But the dawning realization was in her eyes and her voice pitched too high in his mind. Lie.
Luis didn’t call her on the falsehood. There would be time for that, later. Just as there would be time for much, much more. “You will, witch. You will.” Because he wasn’t just talking about sex. A few hours of mindless pleasure.
He wanted all of her. Body, and soul.
The hunt was on.

I had a GREAT time writing this particular novella. Creating my very own bad boy was a real treat. Those bad boys have such an appeal to me. They’re dangerous, they’re wild–and always unpredictable.
Is there a good bad boy character that you’ve red about or seen on TV? Some of my favorites (after my soul-hunter, Luis, of course) are Spike and Riddick from Pitch Black. Go ahead, share your favorites with me!
