The immortal heart knows no bounds
by Nina Croft
Dark Desires #1
BLURB:
The
year is 3048, Earth is no longer habitable, and man has fled to the stars where
they’ve discovered the secret of immortality—Meridian. Unfortunately, the
radioactive mineral is exorbitantly expensive and only available to a select
few. A new class comprised of the super rich and immortal soon evolves. The
Collective, as they’re called, rule the universe.
Two-thousand-year-old
Ricardo Sanchez, vampire and rogue pilot of the space cruiser, El Cazador,
can’t resist two things: gorgeous women and impossible jobs. When beautiful
Skylar Rossaria approaches him to break a prisoner out of the Collective’s
maximum security prison on Trakis One, Rico jumps at the chance. Being hunted
by the Collective has never been so dangerous–or so fun!

Dark Desires #2
BLURB:
Breaking
assassin Jonathon Decker out of a maximum-security prison on Trakis One seemed
like a good idea at the time. Now, pursued across space by the two most
powerful factions in the universe, the crew of El Cazador are having second
thoughts. They’d like to give him back. Unfortunately, that is no longer an
option.
Jon
is used to working alone. Now, he’s stuck on the space cruiser El Cazador until
he can work out just what he’s supposed to know that puts him on everybody’s
most-wanted-dead list. He’s not happy that the crew includes a runaway
priestess with designs on his virtue—such as it is. Jon likes women, but he
gave up the role of protector a long time ago, and Alexia, High Priestess of
the Church of Everlasting Life, is an accident waiting to happen.
After
twenty-four excruciatingly boring years of doing her duty, Alex is finally
having some fun. She never meant to run away—it was a rash impulse—and she
means to go back—eventually. But first, she’s going to squeeze enough
excitement out of the situation to last her a lifetime. And what could be more
exciting than a stunningly gorgeous werewolf?
Meanwhile,
the Church are chasing their missing priestess, and the Collective are pursuing
their escaped assassin. Being hunted has never been more deadly…or more fun.

Captain
Tannis of the starship El Cazador is part snake, part human, and—according to
some—all bitch. She is one job away from her lifelong goal—to achieve the
immortality she craves. The assignment: protecting the most powerful man in the
Universe.
After
five hundred years, Callum Meridian, founding member of the Collective, is bored
out of his mind. Until he realizes he’s physically changing—into what, he isn’t
sure. Callum is determined to discover the truth, but his own people will stop
at nothing to prevent it from coming out.
With
a coup brewing and the crew of El Cazador close to tossing him off the ship,
Callum turns to Tannis. Sparks fly as they work together to make it out alive.
But can Callum really trust the one woman hell bent on using him? Defying death
has never been more dangerous, more sexy, or more fun.

Caught between destiny and desire…
by Nina Croft
Dark Desires #4
BLURB:
After
diving into a black hole in search of the source of Meridian, the key to
immortality, the crew of the Blood Hunter finds themselves stranded in an
alternate universe.
Engineer
Devlin Stark doesn’t want immortality. He just wants to live long enough to get
his revenge on the man who murdered his brother. Now, he’s trapped in a strange
world with a crazy woman who claims he’s fated to be her lover.
Saffira
Lourdes has a destiny: to save humanity and lead her exiled people to the
Promised Land. Haunted by visions of the past and future, she’s been sustained
through the years by a dream lover. Unfortunately, Devlin doesn’t believe in
fate. But it’s obvious there’s a connection between them, one that will soon be
tested by the limits of time and space. Saffira is about to make the crew of
the Blood Hunter an offer they’ll find impossible to refuse.
They’re
heading back to Earth, and they’re going back in time…

She’s his last chance for redemption…if she doesn’t kill him first
by Nina Croft
Dark Desires #5
BLURB:
Copilot
of the Blood Hunter, Daisy is a newly-turned vampire, and she’s hungry. Really
hungry and it’s interfering with her plans for revenge. Unfortunately, the only
thing that can distract her from said hunger is sex…which is a problem when she
can barely refrain from draining any man dry within moments. But old flame
Fergal Cain might just be the sexy-assed solution to her problem.
Part
human, part cyborg, and with a poison coursing through his system, Fergal’s
running out of time to find the scientist who has the cure. Unfortunately for
him, the misfit crew of the Blood Hunter put a serious kink in his
plans. And if the poison doesn’t kill him, the hot little vamp he can’t resist
might do the honors herself…

Saving the universe sucks
Flying Through Fire
by Nina Croft
Dark Desires #6
BLURB:
For
ten thousand years he’s done his duty. Now he wants something for himself…
Winged
monsters have been seen in the skies, and a pestilence follows in their wake,
threatening the very survival of mankind. Only the crew of the Blood Hunter
knows where they come from, and only one man has the power to send them
back—Thorne, a human/dragon hybrid in possession of mental powers beyond
comprehension.
Candace
Decker doesn’t need anyone to look after her—she’s a badass werewolf more than
capable of protecting herself and those she loves. All the same, she’s always
been drawn to Thorne’s strength. In an uncertain world, he’s the one man who
makes her feel safe. And what Candy wants, she usually gets.
But
while Candy is tenacious, Thorne’s willpower has been honed over ten thousand
years. He might want her, but the last thing he needs is an infatuation with a
young, impetuous werewolf. Candy makes him lose control, and that could have
disastrous consequences.
As
the threat escalates and they become separated by time and space, Candy must
find a way back to him, because while Thorne alone has the power to defeat the
dragons, only together can they finally bring peace to the universe.

An Excerpt From Flying Through Fire
At
last she caught something in his expression.
Lust.
“You
owe me a kiss,” she said, and the lust was gone in a flash, replaced by…panic?
Without
giving herself time to back down—or Thorne the chance to run away— she rested
her hand flat against his chest so his heartbeat thudded beneath her palm.
A
step closer and they were almost touching along the lengths of their bodies. A
shiver of anticipation ran through her, tingling across her skin, settling in
her belly. She swallowed, and her eyes flicked around the room. She’d almost
forgotten the other people present. Now she caught Rico’s gaze, and he lifted
one eyebrow, his mouth curling into an amused smile. Tannis stood beside him,
her boot tapping on the floor.
They
probably thought she wouldn’t do this. Or Thorne would stop her. But Thorne was
standing completely still, not even a tremor to his wing tips, as though he was
keeping everything screwed down really tight.
And
she was going to do this.
She
took a deep breath, ran her hand up across his chest, over his shoulder, and
around the back of his neck, digging her fingers into his short, silky hair.
For a second he remained completely stiff, and then something seemed to snap
inside him. His arms, which had been hanging by his side, wrapped around her.
One slid up her back to burrow in her long hair. He gripped it tight and tugged
her head back.
As
she caught a last glimpse of his eyes, a brief flash of fear flickered through
her mind. Power whirled in their depths. How had she ever had the nerve to bait
this man?
But
then his mouth was on hers and all rational thought was shoved from her mind.
He
wasn’t gentle.
And
she’d always expected him to be gentle, but this was a harsh, fierce kiss, as
though he couldn’t help himself, and she loved it. Her mouth opened beneath his
and his tongue thrust inside. He tasted of spice, hot and sweet, as he stroked
her tongue. She held him to her and pushed her own tongue into his mouth, along
the rough edge of his teeth, the roof of his mouth.
The
world was spiraling out of control.
Literally.
Something
loud and bright flashed close by and her eyes opened.
Thorne
stopped moving. She tried to urge him on. She wanted more. If this was the only
kiss she got—
Another
flash and she shook her head and glanced to the side. Tannis stood, legs braced
apart, laser pistol raised to the ceiling. And the ship was spinning.
Thorne
pushed her gently away, and she didn’t hold him. What was going on? She stepped
back and watched as his eyes closed and he visibly regained control. And the
world stopped whirling.
He
opened his eyes and they were back to normal, his expression once again blank.
“Well,
that was interesting,” Tannis said. “Maybe we’d better lock her back in the
brig while you’re onboard.”
Thorne
blinked, shook his head. “That won’t be necessary.”
“Really?
That was just a kiss. What happens if she actually gets inside your pants? I’m
guessing we might all spontaneously combust.
And
that’s not happening under my command.”
About Nina Croft:
Growing
up in the cold, wet, north of England, Nina Croft spent a lot of time dreaming
of faraway sunnier places and ponies. When she discovered both, along with a
whole load of other things, could be found between the covers of a book, her
life changed forever.
Later,
she headed south, picked up the perfect husband along the way, and together
they volunteered to work in Africa. There they discovered a love of exotic
places and a dislike of 9-5 work. Afterward they spent a number of years
travelling (whenever possible) intermingled with working (whenever necessary.)
Eventually they stumbled upon a remote area in the mountains of southern Spain
and the small almond farm they now call home.
Nina
spends her days reading, writing and riding her mare, Gencianna, under the blue
Spanish skies—sunshine and ponies. She reckons this is proof that dreams really
can come true if you want them enough.
