Midnight's Paradox (the Cynn Cruors Bloodline Series, Bk 6) Isobelle Cate

INS IN AN ANCIENT CASTLE, WITH IMPULSIVE HOT STRANGER SEX --AND IT LEADS TO WORLDS SHE'S NEVER DREAMED OF... In Isobelle Cate's SIXTH erotic paranormal romance, it's been hundreds of years since immortal Cynn Cruor warrior Blake Strachan buried what little was left of his family. And it's been three years since his last unsuccessful raid on his nemesis Dac Valerian. Enemies are still at large. Too much is left unfinished. Restless, Blake is wandering through the deserted streets of Edinburgh in the early morning hours when he encounters the ghost of a woman, a witch hung centuries ago, who speaks cryptically of "the sins of the father." But before he can ask her what she means, she disappears with the first light of dawn. Dawn means that Blake--a vampire-werewolf-human hybrid--must find shelter, and he stumbles into the Great Hall of Edinburgh Castle before visitor hours. But he's not alone... Phoebe Ruth has come into work early at the old castle when she notices the dark shadow of a man handling a relic sword with surprising ease. A powerful and disturbingly attractive man. Sparks ignite immediately, the two strangers wordlessly embracing with an uncontrollable passion neither of them understands... But just like that, Blake disappears. All day, like a stereo needle skipping over a vinyl scratch, Phoebe replays the steamy sexual encounter of the early morning--the hunger that threatened to devour her. Was it just an arousing dream? But when Blake rescues Phoebe from an assault by thugs in the cemetery, each becomes enraptured by the other. Forever. Phoebe has read of the Cynn Cruors in her father's journal and believes they're only the ravings of a grief-stricken man after losing his wife. But after several chance encounters, she begins to realize that the Cynn Cruors' world is as real as the dark stranger's bonfire of burning kisses. Both Phoebe and Blake have sordid pasts to sort through. And these chance encounters inexplicably link the two lovers together in more ways than one... This haunting love story will appeal to romance readers who love a hot steamy erotica series with a paranormal element-- supernatural shifters, werewolf romance, and vampire romance (it's got all of that!) -and plenty of explicit sex. ***CONTENT WARNING: This story contains adult language and sexual situations and is intended for audiences 18+ ONLY. ***
