- Tempted to Death
Months ago, Tara Wilcox ran away from Luca Castell and Oliver Gordon. She’d fallen hard for the pair of hunters and feared their growing feelings for her. But what truly terrified her was the possibility that they’d discover what she really is. That she’s the very thing they hunted.
Luca and Oliver are partners, in every sense of the word, and their lives are spent running toward danger. Falling for Tara was the biggest risk they’d ever taken, and her vanishing without a word gutted them.
But, she’s back, desperate for their help in hunting a vicious para creature. Despite the risks””to their lives and their hearts””reigniting the love they’d had is simple. But nothing is simple when, faced with an impossible choice, Tara reveals her true nature.
Now that Luca and Oliver know the truth, Tara has another choice to make””run again or trust that their love is strong enough to look beyond the monster she fears they’ll see.

BRONWYN GREEN
Title: Rising Blood
Blurb: Vampire hunter, Harper Yovanoff, is not happy. Ever since her former partner vanished, she’d been content to work alone. Unfortunately, her boss doesn’t feel the same way. Harper’s been assigned a new partner””a new partner who’s an utter pain in her ass. Elliot Zielin is panty-meltingly gorgeous, but he’s also reckless, not to mention, insufferably arrogant. If he’s not careful, the vampires will be the least of his worries.
Elliot knows he should play nice with his new partner, but he can’t resist poking the bear””the tiny, angry bear who’s so freaking beautiful, she makes him ache for things he shouldn’t want. Despite the fact that Harper has a stake with his name on it, he keeps pushing.
When a powerful vampire begins actively stalking and turning hunters, Harper and Elliot are forced to work more closely together than ever in an effort to save their own. With tempers and adrenaline high, letting off a little steam goes way too far, and they both end up in a place they never expected. The threat against them increases and fighting their growing feelings for one another becomes impossible. But if they can’t stop the sire hell-bent on their destruction, all the love in the world won’t save them from becoming the very thing they hunt.

KRIS NORRIS
Title: Grave Measures
Blurb: Not all souls go quietly.
After the brutal murder of his girlfriend thrusts Daniel Cartwright into the world of the supernatural, he’s finally adjusted to the reality that monsters are real. And not all souls cross over on their own. He’d thought banishing her spirit would bring him peace””allow him to move on. That is until her ghost returns””angrier than ever and hell bent on finally completing her mission. She wants Daniel to join her”¦and she’s not taking no for an answer.
Arrynn Baker has spent the past two years watching Daniel flourish into one of Threshold’s best hunters. Decisive, highly skilled””she’s proud to be his partner. There’s just one small issue”¦ She’s fallen for the man. Hard. While she’s not opposed to taking him as a lover, she’s not convinced he feels the same””not with the distance he seems to maintain. The emotional walls he never steps beyond. Besides, mixing business with pleasure rarely ends well.
When a grisly new killing rocks both their worlds, lines get crossed, and Daniel knows he’s got a choice to make. Either be content with one night with Arrynn, or man up and jump in. But if he wants a future with the woman of his dreams, he needs to deal with his past, once and for all. Even if the solution takes grave measures.

Cast Your Book
JESSICA “” TEMPTED TO DEATH
I do often use actors for inspiration when describing characters. Here are the ones that I had in mind with my trio”¦
Oliver ““ Stephen Amell. Oliver Queen from Arrow. (It was NOT intentional that I named the character Oliver. It didn’t even dawn on me until I was well into writing. o.O) He fits exactly what I pictured for my Oliver””good-looking, physically fit and can take care of himself.
Luca””Santiago Cabrera. Lancelot from Merlin! He was who I had in mind from the very beginning, before the actual writing began. He’s the perfect Luca””totally swoon-worthy.
Tara””Abigail Hobbs from Hannibal. She’s pretty and looks almost delicate. Which is exactly what I wanted for Tara. People underestimate her, but she’s a kick-ass hunter and a powerful para.
BRONWYN “” RISING BLOOD
I tend to use a lot of actors for inspiration because A.) I get to spend an inordinate time looking for pictures of hot people, and B.) I find that it’s easier to visualize the blocking of the action that way.
Elliot””Eoin Macken from Night Shift and Merlin. I think I had Eoin Macken in mind for Elliot as soon as I realized this was going to be a story about paranormal hunters. He’s got that perfect combo of rogue-ish jerk and vulnerability that I love.
Harper””Katie McGrath from Merlin, The Tudors, and Dracula. I adore this woman, and for me, she’s the perfect Harper. In addition to being drop dead gorgeous, she’s also tiny and deceptively fragile looking but is really kind of a badass.
PAIGE “” NEXT LIFETIME
I have two separate Pinterest accounts””one for my former reviewer name which holds a bunch of random recipes, quotes, clothing and jewelry”¦basically whatever I feel like pinning. I also have one specifically for authorly things. Specifically, storyboarding. Next Lifetime has one with every character, locations, outfits, cars, the tree that plays a big part in their love story”¦I get really into my research.
In my mind, Luke is Matthew Davis as he plays Alaric on The Vampire Diaries. I got to meet him at a convention this year and I nearly died on the spot.
Caitlin wasn’t that easy to cast, since I didn’t have a clear picture of her in my head when I first started writing the book. But when I fell into my Vampire Academy obsession, I realized just how much Lucy Fry fit the description I’d written. Tall, slender, blonde curls, full lips, vampire”¦perfect.
When I wrote Bastian, I didn’t picture anyone at all. So, I turned to Google to try to figure out who best to cast. My search term? “Evil looking actor.” Julian McMahon as Cole in Charmed was one of the first results and honestly, how much more perfect can you get? Gorgeous and deliciously evil? WIN.
Lily doesn’t play a huge part in this book, but she will in the next one. She’s a feisty red-headed witch, and I thought who better to picture as Lily than Danielle Panabaker? She’s been my girl crush since Sky High and I can’t wait to write her story.
KRIS “” GRAVE MEASURES
I don’t always fine a celebrity to base my characters off of. I think I have an image set in my head, but it sort of fills in along the way. It starts with maybe piercing blue eyes or cascading auburn hair. Something that strikes me, then slowly, as the book evolves, so does the image in my head. So”¦for this book.
Daniel””Hugh Dancy. That hair, those eyes! And the scruff. Does the man not envision everything you imagine when you think of a ghost hunter? I know”¦ I chose well. But he just looks like the kind of guy who doesn’t frighten easily. Who’s loyal and determined. And hot. Insanely hot.
Arrynn””I have to go with Milla Jovovich. She’s Alice from Resident Evil. Now, I picture her with the dark hair, but long””put back in a ponytail. But damn, I love her. Kick ass, yet with a sweet side. She’ll take out monsters all day long. There’s just something about her.
