ina's hilarious and sexy books have kept readers fanning themselves since publication of AN ORIGINAL SIN in 2000. Hot, funny, and deliciousy different, Nina's books have garnered great reviews and a loyal readership. Nina Bangs has one regret in her life. She wishes she started writing sooner. Talk about misspent youth. Instead of honing her writing skills, she spent her childhood reading horse novels. Walter Farley was her hero. By high school, Nina was into dark and dangerous. She dreamed about wandering the world as a trench-coated foreign correspondent. Did she write anything? No, but she read a lot of mysteries. Nina abandoned her trench coat once she reached college. Instead, she immersed herself in the literary classics. She became a literary snob: If the novel didn't make her eyes cross, then it wasn't worth reading. The only things she wrote in college were research papers. Once out of college, she taught for several years before going to Ireland with a friend. they stayed in Dublin two years and supported themselves by singing in pubs. They weren't very good, but they were young, enthusiastic, and wore miniskirts. Nina was too busy singing Irish folk songs to write. She eventually returned to New Jersey and reality. After teaching several more years, she grew restless again. Nina lived for short periods of time in Arizona and California before settling in Texas. It was in Texas that she finally began writing the romance novels she'd grown to love. Texas is now her permanent home. She's come full circle. Nina was born in San Antonio but spent most of her life in New Jersey. Maybe the Texas in her blood accounts for her attachment to strong men, fast horses, and wide-open spaces. Her love of cats? Guess there's no accounting for that. |

He’d lived a thousand years for this? Reinn Mackenzie was one ticked-off vampire. Werewolves--furry pains in the butt. Werecats--sneaky whisker-twitching manipulators. Reinn hated them all. But most of all, he hated his job. Guardian of the Blood. What a crock. Kisa Evans made it impossible for him to think about anything but the dangerous fantasy of freeing his own inner beast. No matter how he fought the desire to feel the soft heat of her throat beneath his lips, the craving only grew. Kisa might be the enemy, but he longed to show her the sensual pleasure to be found in... A TASTE OF DARKNESS
