BENEATH THE NIGHT

Pub date: 4/25/2017
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Sometimes survival means surrendering
everything . . .
Lord Navarre Casteel wakes from a long sleep to
find the vampire city he rules forever changed and his future in the
hands of a mysterious beauty who offers her life for his.
Fiery-haired Cat survives his feeding, fueling Navarre’s body and
mind—as well as his suspicion that she is one of the Forbidden—a
lethal mix of vampire and human blood. Yet that doesn’t stop the
throb of Navarre’s desire, the feeling that she is destined to be
his mate, to hell with consequences. . . .
A solitary fighter sworn to protect the
children in her charge, Cat never expects to feel so much for Navarre
in the face of his savage feeding. Which is why his offer of
protection is nearly her undoing. For how can she let down her guard
when she has always walked alone? But Cat has never faced an enemy
like the one she faces now, never felt such a powerful need to
surrender to the force of love . . .

The Cities Below
Which cities? Below what? I see I've
got some explaining to do. When I began writing about vampires I had one
question that badly needed answered: What if vampires are real? Not were real in the past, but are real today. I certainly haven't seen
any, so where are they? Simple. They live out of sight. It's hard enough to get
on in this world without having an aversion to sunlight, the abnormal ability
to process blood internally and heal most anything that ails you, not to
mention fangs and an excessively long lifespan. I can hear the town folk with
their pitchforks coming as we speak, and in all likelihood, that would be
exactly what they’d faced centuries ago. Who wouldn't want to protect their
families from that kind of persecution? With sunlight being a death-inducing
weakness, it only made sense for my vampires to live underground.
Several underground vampire cities are
scattered throughout Europe, but France holds the largest population. The
Cities Below series centers around the four major cities in France. Two cities,
Balinese and Valenna, are in norther half of France. Talvane is within Paris (I
can’t tell you where yet. It’s a surprise!), and Galbraith is farther south. A
city full of vampires seems like it should be easy to find, right? Three of
these cities are beneath structures, and though while one building is
abandoned, and another visited infrequently, the third building is incredibly
active. The fourth city is marked by a shed built into a hillside. Should you
manage to discover which building, or which shed on a hillside marks the
entrance to a city, you'll never make it inside. Vampires guard their city’s
gate, their people, and the knowledge of their existence viciously.
Do vampires live outside these cities
and above ground? Of course. As with any society, this is bound to happen. But
because of the creatures they are, even those living on the fringe have a rigid
set of rules to follow. Exposing the existence of vampires could mean their
extinction.
Jen Colly is the rare case of an author who
rebelled against reading assignments throughout her school years. Now
she prefers reading books in a series, which has led her to writing
her first paranormal romance series: The Cities Below. She will write
about anything that catches her fancy, though truth be told, her
weaknesses are pirates and vampires. She lives in Ohio with her
supportive husband, two kids, one big fluffy dog, and four rescued
cats.
Thank you for sharing BENEATH THE NIGHT!
