"A contract for his soul, and the contract's up"
She hated vampires. It was her job, her duty, to rid the
world of as many of them as she could. And Lilith was good
at her job, one of the elite hunters. So how had it become
her responsibility to keep this particular vampire alive at
all costs, as though the fate of the world for vampires and
mortals alike pivoted on his survival? Oh, because that was exactly what his survival meant. Lincoln is the typical alpha vampire, old bloodline,
relying on no one, taking what he wants, aristocratic
attitude. It's such yummy fun, watching him have to rely on
Lilith, a human at that, to help him somehow break the soul-
binding contract. But when he learns keeping his life puts
Lilith in worse danger, Lincoln willingly plunges headlong
into his destiny, fully depending on one stubborn kick-butt
vampire hunter to love him enough and be smart enough to
figure out the way to save him while he buys her time with
his soul in jeopardy. Lincoln and Lilith have great chemistry as they are thrust
into battle after battle, saving each other's lives while
each fight the compelling attraction between them. I won't
give away the plot, but I will tell you that it's chock
full of demons, hell-bound contracts, angels, even
Cerberus, with Lincoln's marked soul the suitable exchange
for the contract to be fulfilled. The action is fast-paced,
the romance tender, and the characters' personalities
sharp. You'll be glad you read this one.

**A PNR Reviewer Recommended Read** Dark, sensual and fast-paced, Seventh Circle is a story of forbidden love so strong that it will save the world. Born with strange powers similar to a vampire's, Lilith has spent her life hunting demons for Section Seven. Now, on the very same night that she watches a vampire kill her best friend, she's faced with her worse nightmare. A client who is not only attractive, but a vampire. Lincoln, a powerful pure blood vampire, has a problem. The prophecy he's caught up in is coming to pass and his only chance of survival is relying on those he hates most–vampire hunters. It has been foretold that one will save him, a female hunter, and when he meets her, the attraction he feels is both instantaneous and forbidden. Their mutual attraction becomes difficult to deny as they work to unravel the mystery of a contract between Lincoln's lord and the Devil. The barriers around their hearts fall, but is there only pain ahead of them? With Lincoln's life on the line, can Lilith find the strength to protect him and embrace a side of herself that she wished didn't exist? Can Lincoln overcome his fear in order to save Lilith even if it means parting from her forever? What price will they pay to be together?
