Amelia and Orion (Wild Witches of Beaver Bay 4)
by Kate Hill
(Erotic Paranormal Romance)
Blurb
Demon. Vampire. Human. Orion is all three. From the moment he met Amelia Wild, his heart has belonged to her, but a hybrid like him doesn’t have the luxury of falling in love.
Amelia Wild sometimes regrets not sharing her family’s magical gifts, but she has one of her own — a genius level IQ that she uses to uncover scientific ways to fight supernatural creatures. For years she has loved her business partner, Orion, but he has made it clear they will never be romantically involved.
When Orion’s emotional restraint becomes too much, Amelia heads to her family’s ancestral land to get in touch with her magical roots. Lost without her, Orion follows Amelia to the Wild family cabin. Will this irritable half-demon and a brilliant witch finally surrender to the powerful attraction between them?
Excerpt:
Flames burst around them and something powerful flung them apart. Orion landed on his back. He pushed himself up quickly, but Amelia was already on her feet, sprinting through the flames.
“Amelia!” He raced after her, scarcely noticing that the fire didn’t burn when he passed. Smaller fires littered the forest.
“Orion!” she screamed. He followed her voice. “Orion, I need you! Please come!”
“Where are you, Amelia? Amelia!” He ran, his breathing ragged. Trees lashed his naked body. He couldn’t move as quickly as he wanted because the muddy ground swallowed him to his ankles.
“Amelia!”
“Orion!” That wasn’t her voice. It was Starr.
“Wake up.” That was Lucas. His friends leaned over him, shaking him.
“What the hell?” Orion pushed himself to his elbows, still breathing hard. His heart raced and only one thought remained clear in his mind. He knew where she was and where he had to go. He stood quickly and headed toward the house. “I have to leave.”
“Leave? Where to?” Starr demanded.
“To Amelia. Right now.”
“How auspicious,” Lucas said.
“We got a call from Trinity. Something happened in Massachusetts,” Starr told him.
Orion wondered if a person could still remain upright when his heart was no longer beating. “To Amelia?”

What a fabulous cover, Kate. The guy really looks like a hybrid demon/vampire/human!
Great excerpt. The tension builds through the snippet
That comment about the mud swallowing him to his ankles resonates with me. My barnyard is a quagmire and the mud really does swallow one’s feet … and sucks the boots right off.
I’m not usually a fan of dream sequences, but considering the paranormal aspects of the story, this one fits right in to the action.
