Sentinels, Book #1
Publisher: Zebra
Publication Date:
December 31, 2013
ISBN-13: 978-1-4201-2514-6
In a
stunning new series, Alexandra Ivy lures readers into the dark, seductive world
of the Sentinels—humans outcast by their hidden abilities, treading the line
between life and death, good and evil, pleasure and pain. . .
In The Heart Of Darkness
Sergeant Duncan O'Conner has seen it all before. Beautiful erotic dancer, murdered at home, no suspect, no motive. But there's one clue: she's missing her heart. It's enough to make the hard-bitten Kansas City cop enlist the help of a necro--one of the dead-channelling freaks who live in the domed city of nearby Valhalla. It's a long shot, but desperate crimes call for desparate measures.
Lies The Kiss Of Death
Unlike the other "high-bloods" in Valhalla, Callie Brown considers her abilities a gift, not a curse. But when she reads the dancer's final thoughts, she senses a powerful presence blocking her vision. This is no ordinary homicide. This is the work of a legendary necromancer who controls souls. A ravenous force that will put Callie's skills to the test, O'Conner's career at risk, and both their hearts on the line. . .literally.

PART 9:
A SENTINEL LOVE STORY
By
Alexandra Ivy
Part
Nine
Jayne
was trying to be offended.
After
all, Anton had just implied that she’d driven a thousand miles, and then risked
her life to sneak into Valhalla, just to catch sight of him. And the fact she suspected he was right
should only have increased her annoyance.
Instead
she was drowning in the intoxicating pleasure of being held against his hard,
utterly male body.
Or at
least until he whispered those fateful words against her lips.
Her
heart thundered as she tilted back her head to meet his astonishing silver
gaze. “What did you say?”
His
mouth twisted with rueful smile. “Don’t
act surprised, sweetheart. I did a
piss-poor job of hiding my interest in you.”
She
shook her head. “You never said anything.”
“Did I
have to?” He nipped her lower lip. “Surely you knew that once Charlie had been
approved to enter Valhalla there was no need for me to visit your home?”
Her
heart stuttered to a halt before surging back into gear, racing at a frantic
pace. Was it possible that this
beautiful, completely unattainable male had truly noticed her as more than
Charlie’s older sister?
“You
said you wanted to make sure we felt comfortable with Charlie’s upcoming move,”
she breathed, her voice husky with the emotions she’d suppressed for the past
four weeks.
“I
wanted...” A slow, lingering kiss. “You.”
“Oh.”
“Oh?” He lifted his head to study her with a
piercing gaze. “That’s all you have to
say?”
She
held his gaze, too terrified to admit how deeply she needed him.
“What
do you want from me?”
“I’ve
told you.” His expression was somber,
his eyes revealing a hint of vulnerability that she’d never expected to
glimpse. “The truth.”
The
truth.
Such
simple words that made her entire body tremble with fear.
“Okay,
I did hope I might see you tonight,” she managed to admit, knowing he needed to
hear the words.
His
pride would never allow him to pursue her if he thought she truly wasn’t
interested.
He
frowned, hearing the reluctance in her voice.
“Does it bother you that I’m a high-blood?”
She was
shaking her head before he could finish speaking, her hands lifting to frame
his beautiful face.
