There’s a New Hero and Heroine in NOLA!

277 Views

My BY MOONLIGHT world has slipped into the SHADOWS with its newest installment HUNTER OF SHADOWS (11/29/11).

The first four books of my dark paranormal series for Pocket, beginning with MASKED BY MOONLIGHT and followed by CHASED BY MOONLIGHT, CAPTURED BY MOONLIGHT, and BOUND BY MOONLIGHT, were unique in that they featured the same hero and heroine: shape-shifting mob enforcer Max Savoie and tough NOPD detective Charlotte Caissie. The BY MOONLIGHT world has now expanded.

“Gideon introduces complex new characters to launch a second series set in a New Orleans inhabited by secretive shape-shifters. Sparks fly immediately,” says Publishers Weekly in its review. “Vivid writing, intriguing plot twists, and a satisfying ending will keep readers coming back to Gideon’s magical NOLA.”

For those who haven’t tried the series yet, this is the perfect time to come aboard as the BY MOONLIGHT world is viewed through the eyes of a new hero and heroine: Silas MacCreedy, an intensely focused Shifter working undercover for the NOPD and Nica Fraser, the steely assassin who’s determined to distract him from his agenda. For those who are Max and CeeCee fans, don’t despair! They’re strong secondary characters in HUNTER OF SHADOWS and in the next book in the series, SEEKER OF SHADOWS (6/26/12), and their storyline continues to evolve.

A hero and heroine who continue through several books in a series are common in Urban Fantasy but not so much in paranormal romance. Do you like following the same characters through more than one book or do you prefer a different couple for each Happily-Ever-After?

I like both but if it's following the same couple I want them to evole, their own character and their relationship. I want them to face different issues as opposed to the same one over and over.

I enjoy the same couple as much as new couples. Hunter of Shadows sounds very interesting.

Tell us a little about your YA Watty award. What year did you receive it and what was your Wattpad experience like?

2021. The crazy thing is I almost didn`t enter that book. I had another story, Bright Midnight, that was getting attention from Wattpad`s editorial staff.

A Must Read 📚 A Marriage for the Marquess by Ruth A. Casiehttps://bit.ly/41WBKnE

Because it’s not just a story—it’s an exhilarating journey where love, secrets, and danger collide in the glittering world of Regency London!

Imagine a brooding Marquess with a ticking clock—five weeks to find a wife or lose everything he holds dear. Enter a spirited lady teetering on the brink of ruin, burdened by her late brother’s crushing debts. Their solution? A marriage of convenience that seems perfectly practical… until fate throws a wrench in their well-laid plans.

From the moment Ewan and Juliet say “I do,” they’re thrust into a web of deceit and intrigue, uncovering the enigmatic Order of Shadows, a clandestine organization manipulating the elite from the shadows. As they delve deeper, every uncovered secret pulls them closer together—and closer to danger.

But here’s where it gets deliciously complicated—a single, unexpected kiss on their wedding day ignites a passion neither anticipated. Suddenly, their arrangement of convenience becomes anything but convenient. Hearts are on the line, trust is a risky gamble, and time is slipping away.

This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, blending romance, mystery, and suspense that’ll keep you turning pages late into the night. If you love stories with:

Strong, relatable characters who leap off the page and into your heart.

A richly detailed Regency setting that sweeps you back in time.

A plot full of twists and turns, where every chapter unravels new secrets.

A sizzling chemistry that challenges the boundaries between duty and desire.

Then “A Marriage for the Marquess” is the must-read you’ve been waiting for!

Dive into a world where alliances blur, secrets unravel, and love defies all odds. Ewan and Juliet’s journey is one you won’t forget—are you ready to join them?
