When everyone's existence depends
on the lies they tell, trust doesn't come easy
Ivy’s neighbors have a secret.
They aren’t human. But Ivy has a secret, too. She knows. As long as everyone
keeps quiet, she’s happy working as a P.I. by day and chillaxing with her BFF
Florian, a vampire, by night. When a routine pickup drops her in the middle of
a murder, her two worlds collide. While Florian knows how to throw a punch,
deep down he's a softie. His idea of scary? Running out of hair product. It’s
time Ivy faced facts. Even with a vampire on stand-by, one gal can only kick so
many asses.
For help, she must put her faith
in others. A human, who might just be the one. A demon, who will, for a price,
open the doors to her heritage. And a werewolf, who wants to protect her from
herself.
Torn between these men, Ivy must
tread carefully, because one wants her heart, one wants her body, and one wants
her dead.

Excerpt
1:
A growl from
behind made my skin crawl. I whipped around. Florian’s face was grim, his
posture unnatural and stiff.
The hairs on my
arms stood on end, and I suppressed a shudder. “Are you all right?”
“Can’t.” He
propped his hand against the wall. “Not feeling well.”
My gaze followed
the direction of his stare. Large crimson stains pooled on the immaculate
living room carpet. Oh crap. Blood.
I turned back.
Florian’s pupils dilated to form two black marbles, trained on me. His canines
lengthened, coming to sharp and lethal points. The pounding of my heart overrode
my motor skills, and for a second, I stood rooted to the spot.
This wasn’t how
I’d envisioned his secret being revealed to me. I’d pictured cupcakes, and
maybe tissues at the relief of finally being straight with each other, not a
full-out blood frenzy.
Finally, the
switch labeled “common sense” flipped and triggered me into action. I fingered
the guards in my pockets. The small plates were my only chance.
About
the Author:
Carmen lives in the south of
England with her beloved tea maker and a stuffed sheep called Fergus. An avid
reader since childhood, she caught the writing bug when her Nana asked her to
write a story. She also has a law degree, studied physics for a few years,
dabbled in marketing and human resources, and speaks native-level German and
fluent Geek. Her preferred niches of geekdom are tabletop games, comics, sci-fi
and fantasy.
She writes about smart women with
sassitude, about pretty cool guys too, and will chase that plot twist, no
matter how elusive.
Expect to be kept guessing.
DIVIDE AND CONQUER, Carmen’s
first urban fantasy novel, was published in March 2015. To find out more, visit
