Underbelly Chronicles Series

When your first lover is a sex demon, it's all downhill from there… Coming home after a grueling year on tour, siren rock star Scarlett Fontaine needs to rest, recover, and finally get over incubus security expert Lukas Sebastiani. After one incendiary night together, Lukas moved on, and she needs to find the strength to do the same. Determined to avoid him, ignore him, and finally stop dreaming about him, Scarlett's plans go awry when her life is threatened...and the big, bad bodyguard insists on guarding her body himself.       He'll sacrifice everything for the woman he can't let himself have again…   Her siren song is his Achilles' heel, her emotions an intoxicating ambrosia he can't let himself taste again, but with a killer addicted to death energy on the loose and Scarlett's life in danger, Lukas must protect her no matter what the personal cost. By keeping her safe, he can finally start making amends—but when their long-suppressed emotions surge to the surface, Lukas learns that 'amends' are the last thing Scarlett wants.    The secret that can never be revealed…  As the killer spirals out of control, he threatens not only their lives, but to expose the secret that humanity isn't ready to learn—that they've shared their planet with paranormal creatures for thousands of years, whose origins are out of this world…   Reader note: This is a lightly revised/reissued edition of Tamara Hogan's award-winning debut novel, originally published in 2011.

Pursue… Centuries ago, when their ship crashed, paranormal species secretly settled on Earth, with humanity none the wiser. Self-governing and careful to stay under the radar, their cover is nearly blown when the archaeological dig that Valkyrie Lorin Schlessinger has worked for years—where she'd just discovered evidence of their ancient ancestors—is vandalized. When help finally arrives, she doesn't expect to see her longtime co-worker and professional nemesis, werewolf geologist Gabe Lupinsky.   Or be pursued… Gabe is flattered to contribute to such an important project, but he knew from experience that working with Lorin could be a challenge. Talk about opposites: She was exuberantly physical, and he was more cerebral. Where she was free-wheeling, he was disciplined. As a member of the Underworld Council, she was practically royalty.  She was hot, he was not, but they still struck sparks off each other with every decision and discussion. The chase is on… As the threat intensifies, the sparks turn into a sexual conflagration neither can control. Can he convince her that opposites can attract for the long haul?  

Mere hours after human technology whiz Bailey Brown learns the truth about her Sebastiani Security co-workers—not only are they all vampires, incubi, succubi, sirens, faeries, Valkyrie, and werewolves, but their ancestors were aliens!—she's thrown into an undercover operation protecting a siren singer at Underbelly, one of Minneapolis's premier nightclubs. With pheromones saturating the air like sweet chloroform, starving for touch, and her inhibitions fading fast, Bailey has to avoid Rafe Sebastiani, her boss's gorgeous sex demon of a brother, at all costs… Because only his touch will do.       

A sex demon and a preacher's kid? Heaven forbid! Technology whiz Bailey Brown is one of two humans alive who knows a very important secret: that humanity has shared their planet with paranormals for millennia. When an obsessed hacker from her past threatens to expose the secret, Bailey and her Sebastiani Security colleagues must use every weapon at their disposal to stop him. The stakes couldn't be higher, and she can't let herself be distracted by her boss's gorgeous brother, even if he is temptation incarnate… Incubus sculptor Rafe Sebastiani hasn't produced a decent nude in over a year, since he made the most selfish mistake of his life: sleeping with Bailey Brown. Now, with a deadline looming, his cranky muse has finally allowed him to express his memories of that incendiary night in clay. But when his brother asks him to pose as Bailey's lover to provoke her dangerous ex, he jumps at the chance…to sculpt her, to protect her, and to earn the right to tempt her—and only her—for the rest of their lives… *** Nominated for the 2014 Daphne du Maurier Award For Mystery and Suspense, and the 2014 Booksellers' Best Award ***

They say that opposites attract, but this is ridiculous…   Vampire journalist Tia Quinn is young (by vamp standards), curious (even by reporter standards) and sitting on some information that could threaten civilization as she knows it. She's honor-bound to share it with the Underworld Council's chilly Vampire Second, an ancient vampire more powerful than she can imagine…and who's hotter than hell. He's also burdened by duty and taciturn to the point of grimness but when a stalker breaks into her house, Wyland insists on keeping Tia close until the perpetrator is caught.    Wyland's life is exactly the way he likes it — solitary, calm, predictable. Then Tia moves in, turns his staid bachelor household upside down, and wakes his libido from its hundred-year nap. She's too alluring, too damn young, and hell on his self-control—especially when she cheerfully informs him the attraction is mutual. But the last time he let his heart overrule his head, his people paid the price. He can't make the same mistake again.     As they work together to neutralize the threat, Tia and Wyland soon realize that not only do opposites attract, but that the end result can be positively magnetic… 

Only her tough love can save him…   Security guru Jack Kirkland is one of two humans alive who knows a very important secret: that humanity has shared their planet with paranormals for millennia. When Jack is seriously injured protecting the paranormals' president, the president's family offers round-the-clock care—but no one is more surprised than Jack when the president's daughter, an aggravating, intoxicating succubus, is first to volunteer. How can Sasha stand to look at him, much less dress his wounds, when her father died on his watch?       No one, least of all Sasha Sebastiani, blames Jack for her father's death—but Jack blames himself, and that's a big problem. She's the perfect person to help him recover, to deliver some TLC and some tough love…if she can find the strength to ignore the sexual tension that's been brewing between them for years.     As the danger escalates, Jack and Sasha must work together to neutralize the threat. Will Jack learn to trust himself, and the woman he loves, before he loses everything…including his life?
