Blurb: When his Uncle Mortimer died and left him Hoxne Grange, the family’s Gilded Age estate, Tristan Pryce knew he wasn’t going to have an easy time of it. He was to be the second generation of Pryces to serve as a caretaker for the estate, a way station for spirits on their final steps to the afterlife. The ghosts were the simple part. He’d been seeing boo-wigglies since he was a child. No, the difficult part was his own family. Determined to establish Tristan’s insanity, his loving relatives hire Dr. Wolf Kincaid and his paranormal researchers, Hellsinger Investigations, to prove the Grange is not haunted.

Skeptic Wolf Kincaid has made it his life’s work to debunk the supernatural. After years of cons and fakes, he can’t wait to reveal the Grange’s ghostly activity is just badly leveled floorboards and a drafty old house. The Grange has more than a few surprises for him, including its prickly, reclusive owner. Tristan Pryce is much less insane and much more attractive than Wolf wants to admit and when his Hellsinger team unwittingly release a ghostly serial killer on the Grange, Wolf is torn between his skepticism and protecting the man he’d been sent to discredit.

Honorary Blogger Nicholas Bella: Dark Musings + Giveaway!

Dark Musings

by Nicholas Bella

When asked to do a guest post, I was wondering just what do I talk about? What would readers be interested in learning about me? I came up with an answer… well, if I’m going to be honest, I had a little bit of help from a pro in blogging, JustJen.

Why did I decide to write my series?

I’m a lover of books, especially GLBT books dealing with the paranormal and erotica. I was searching for something different out there, something darker, twisted and sensual. I kept coming up empty. I wanted to read the type of paranormal story that not only combined some hot kink, but would also tell a great urban fantasy on top of it. Call me greedy, but that’s what I wanted. So, since I hadn’t found it, I decided I was going to write it. I was going to create the series that I’ve been waiting for read for years. That’s how I came up with “Chained in Darkness”. It’s sexy, unapologetic, hardcore and vicious in all the right ways. It’s not for the faint of heart. It’s not for readers looking for a romantic HEA. It’s not for readers who want a safe erotic experience. It’s for readers who, like me, enjoy the dark side of paranormal erotica. They enjoy rough BDSM. They want to see a man be manhandled and dominated by a stronger more aggressive man. One who, mind you, takes no prisoners… well, okay, he’ll take prisoners, but that’s because he doesn’t like to be denied.

So, if you’ve been looking for something that’s steamy, forbidden, bloody and dare I say, raunchy… then you’ve just struck gold. Check out my series with book one: “Embraced: Chained in Darkness”. Thanks for having me.

About Embraced

Embraced: Chained in Darkness Book OneI’ve been betrayed by someone I trusted. Because of him, I was captured by my loathed enemy: The vampires. Right now, the sun is still high in the sky, but I know when it sets, I’m as good as dead. They can’t wait to get their fangs into me. I guess some would say I have it coming. I did raise a lot of hell with my Resistance crew, and I was planning on raising a hell of a lot more at dawn before I was sold out by Jonah. The vampires, werewolves and dragons, have been trying to track me down for months and I’d always been two steps ahead of them.

*Laughs* I guess my number is up. I just hope they make it quick. You see, the vampires in my reality aren’t the romantic lot you read about in books. They don’t sparkle or hang out at high schools with their teenage girlfriends. Hell no, vampires are brutal, calculating, sadistic and bloodthirsty. As a matter of fact, all of the monsters are! That’s how they were able to take over the world so easily and change an entire civilization to suit their needs. Whatever happens, I know it’s not going to be pretty, so I’m preparing myself for the worst. May God help me.

Warning: This novelette series contains hardcore sexual situations between men, not meant for sensitive eyes. I’m talking crude, lewd and full of attitude. This series will most likely either offend you or get ya revved up. This series isn’t going to be pulling any punches whatsoever, so you’ve been warned. Mature Adult Content meant for readers looking for something dark, taboo, sexy, and unapologetic in their paranormal erotica. This is NOT a romance. This novelette is approximately 13,300 words.

About Nicholas Bella

About me? Hmmm, I’m just a person with a wild imagination and a love for words who was sitting around the house one day and said, “Why hasn’t anyone written a book like this before?”. As with every storyteller, I wanted to share mine with the world. I like my erotica dark, gritty, sexy… and even a little raunchy. I’m not afraid to go there and I hope you aren’t afraid to go there with me. When I’m not writing, I love watching movies and TV shows, clubbing, biking, and hanging out with family and friends. I love life.
