Immorati (Pine Barrens Book 1)
$2.99
When the corpse of an unidentified species is found in the woods near Pine Haven, New Jersey along with a human female, anthropologist Edie Campbell is called in by local law enforcement and the medical examiner to help identify the strange humanoid male. The discovery of a heretofore unknown species is thrilling for Edie, up until she realizes the creature recently mated with the human female.
Questions form with no apparent answers until Aidan LaMont arrives in Pine Haven to identify his cousin’s body. But the secretive Aidan hides as much of the mystery surrounding the strange creature as he explains, and Edie has no doubt that behind the heat in his amber eyes, he knows much more than he’s willing to tell.

Excerpt:
Karl folded his arms over his chest and raised a brow.
“What?” Edie imitated his questioning posture.
“Don’t even joke around like that.” He rubbed his hand down his face and over his mouth. “It’s going to be hard enough keeping this thing under wraps once those teens start talking. I practically had to threaten them with overnight accommodations in the town lockup to keep them quiet. I don’t want this turning into a media circus.”
Edie bit her lower lip in thought. “Well, there are many variations on the tale and very few of them are consistent. The marshes and wetlands here are filled with tales of their sightings. There are legends that go all the way back to the Native American tribes that lived in New Jersey and sightings from the Revolutionary War. The truth of the matter is the stories are urban legend. No one’s actually verified a sighting, so how do we know what it looks like if it actually exists? And when you dig into the tales, none of them are one hundred percent consistent in descriptions.”
She pointed to the creature on the table. “This is as good an example as any.”
Her nose started to itch, and she bent her face into the crease of her elbow and wiped at it. There was something about having on examination gloves that always made her nose itch, especially after handling something she wouldn’t touch without the latex barrier.
Her gaze traveled along the length of the creature again. Or man. What was it? Did it have cognitive thoughts? Was it sentient? Did it know love or only the drive to mate? Edie turned to study the young woman on the other gurney.
She stood and walked over to examine the body.
The young woman couldn’t have been over twenty and was so perfectly beautiful, even in death, Edie could do nothing more than stare. Long, pale blonde hair framed a heart-shaped face. Her brows were slightly darker and arched over wide eyes. Not a feature on her face had even a hint of imperfection. How could someone so ethereal die? An identical injury as the creature marred her chest, creating a cavernous hole between two of the most naturally beautiful breasts ever created. The same claw marks shredded the side of the wound. Whatever killed it had killed her. Did he die by the hand of someone who witnessed her killing or as a revenge for the murder? Or did he die protecting her?
