A Kiss Of Shadows

(Merry Gentry 1)




Edgy, erotic and dangerously exciting - A Kiss of Shadows introduced readers to Private Investigator and Faerie Princess Merry Gentry, and marked the beginning of what would become, for hordes of adoring readers, the original spicy romantasy series!

Meet Merry Gentry, a paranormal P.I., and enter a thrilling, sensual world as dangerous as it is beautiful, full of earthly pleasures and dazzling magic, and ruled by the all-consuming passions of immortal beings once worshipped as gods . . . or demons.

Merry Gentry, princess of the high court of Faerie, is posing as a human in Los Angeles, working as a private investigator specializing in supernatural crime.

But now the queen’s assassin has been dispatched to her back – whether she likes it or not. Suddenly Merry finds herself a pawn in her dreaded aunt’s plans.

The task that awaits her: enjoy the constant company of the most beautiful immortal men in the world. The reward: the crown – and the opportunity to continue to live.
The penalty for failure: death.

Rich, sensual and full of earthly pleasures, dazzling magic and memorable characters, some as deadly as they are beautiful, A Kiss of Shadows is an unbridled tour-de-force where folklore, myth and legend come together with thrilling, erotically-charged adventure.
