 Meet the Midnight Seduction authors...

Alexandra O'Hurley is the best selling author of Being Improper and Night of the Dragon. Her other works include The Lottery and the Evernight anthology, Master of Mine. Alex loves to 'ride roller coasters with her sixteen year old kiddo, eat sushi, watch lightning storms, ski and dance to obnoxiously loud rock and roll with a beer bottle in her hand'.

Not content with featuring in Midnight Seduction, Luxie Ryder also features in Midnight Seduction, Manlove Edition. Her other works include, Dance Like Nobody's Watching, Sacrifice and Soul Bound. Luxie is a 'Bookwenches Keeper' and a 'Two Lips recommended read'. She lives in the South West of England.

Emma Shortt is the best selling author of Paying her Debt and Getting her Greek. Her other works include, The Kiss, The Valentine's Fae and the Evernight anthology 'Twas a Dark and Delicious Christmas. When not writing romance Emma likes to get her geek on, watching Star Trek and reading nerd words. Like Luxie she lives in the South West of England.

With the distinction of writing Evernight's first f/f romance (and then achieving the coveted ARE best seller star) Kelly Yeakle knows good romance. Her other work with Evernight, Timeless, was a Night Owl Reviews 'top pick'. Kelly is a mom of three and spends her time 'working in Hallmark, dancing around the house and doing silly things with her silly children'.

Carolyn Rosewood is the author of the highly acclaimed Seduced by a Demon Series. The first two books, The Last Soul and Hunted have been consistently rated five stars. The final book in the series, Playing for Keeps will no doubt follow this trend. Carolyn is married to her real life hero, has a grown up daughter and a cat called Shadow, and is a Romance Reviews 'top pick'.

Midnight Seduction is Pepper Anthony's third feature in an Evernight anthology. She also features in Master of Mine and Indecent Encounters. Her other titles include Naked Treats. A firm believer in the Law of Attraction, Pepper likes to remind her friends, 'we create in our lives that which we focus most upon, so fill your head with positive thoughts.'

When D. F. Krieger was banned from writing contests at her school, she immediately set it in her head that she would become a professional writer. Since then, she has thrown away her plans of world domination through books, but she still enjoys writing. As well as featuring in Midnight Seduction, D.F is also the author of the highly rated, Evernight sci-fi romance, Sail My Oceans.

Fionn Jameson is an avid reader of anything that makes her go "Ew" and has watched most of the zombie movies in existence. Her Evernight titles include Blood Wish and the eagerly anticipated Wake the Demon.

London St James writes erotic romance, from sweet to downright naughty. She is a member of the Romance Writers of America and Passionate Ink. She currently resides in Colorado with her dogs, her books, her writing and her imagination. Her Evernight titles include Master of Mine and the highly acclaimed, Enchanted.

Like Luxie, Kastil Eavenshade features in both Midnight Seduction editions. When not slaving to the whims of the corporate world Kastil spends her time escaping into the world of books.

Anna Keraleigh is the author of the highly acclaimed fairy fantasy series, including the books Fairy Flavor and The Ravaged Fairy. Like Luxie and Kastil, Anna features in both Midnight Seduction anthologies. When not writing Anna falls in love with her creations and puts her mind to creating more, for both you and she to share.

Lila Shaw is the pen name of a writer who dips her toes into lots of different genres, joining the Midnight Seduction crew for a spot of erotic romance. Lila lives in the Pacific North West with her husband and two sons.

Lee Ann Sontheimer Murphy is the author of the highly acclaimed Love Covenant series which includes the books, Love Tattoo, Love Knots and Love Scars. Her other Evernight titles include Wolfe's Lady and Lee Ann is a Night Owl Reviews 'top pick'. When not writing Lee Ann spends time with her husband, three children and dog.

My story - Salem - is at the end of the book - the best as last!  Here's a little taste from my tale to get you intrigued:
I liked him, and his energy, masculine and passionate, drew me in like a snare. But I figured after the meal it would be time to ditch him and go home so I could think. That might have worked, if he hadn’t kissed me as soon as we stepped outside the restaurant. In the parking lot, where a few stray snowflakes swirled down from the sky, Nat made like a gentleman and walked me to the passenger side of the car. I skidded over a slick spot and would’ve fallen on my bottom, but he caught me. And once I was in his arms, I melted, warm despite the frigid wind.
Nat locked his arms about me, and after he looked into my eyes for a very long moment, he kissed me. His lips claimed mine, wrote his name across them, and brought them home to keep. His mouth cherished mine, lips sliding down to kiss my neck, tickling and nibbling as he went. Everything inside me went into high alert mode. My nipples hardened, my vagina became wet, and I surged against him, eager for more. He knew all the buttons to push, did the things that I like most, and he had me so titillated that he could have taken me there, beneath the vapor lights, spread across the hood of his Mercedes if he’d wanted.
I didn’t have the will power to stop him.
I wouldn’t have tried.
He unbuttoned my coat and ran his icy hands beneath my sweater, his fingers cold against my warmer flesh. Although I shivered, it felt so erotic that I think I whimpered because I wanted more so very much. Nat slipped one hand, a little warmer now but not much, down the front of my slacks and fingered me, those slender digits reaching into my warm, waiting woman spot until I writhed against them with no shame.
Then he stopped.
I almost fell down, staggered against him, and he supported me with his arms.
“What are you doing?” I gasped, breathless and unsatisfied.
Nat smiled. “I did what you like, my love. Don’t deny it. I saw it in your face and felt it in the way your body responded to me. You’ll have what you want, what we both desire, but not here. I’m far too old now, and it’s much too cold to have my way with you here."
Now - and here's the fun part - every author is giving away a PDF copy of the anthology!  Just leave your name in my comments for your chance to win mine and then hop on over to the other author's sites to increase your chances to win!

My favorite paranormal hero is the alpha wolf. Love his dominant character, his loyalty and protectiveness towards his mate ;) I love reading anthologies, give me a short and sweet story to read before going to bed.

Loved the excerpt :) My fave is a shifter. The thought of a really hot guy turning into a beautiful wolf or a cute, overprotective bear makes my toes curl, lol.
