Installment 12 in the bestselling

Immortals After Dark series

The Man. The Myth. The Monster.

Evil finally has a name.

Release date January 10, 2012

Format: Hardcover  

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kresley Cole continues her electrifying Immortals After Dark series with this thrilling tale, revealing secrets of the Lore, fierce realm of the immortals. . . .

ALL FEAR THE ENEMY OF OLD

Driven by his insatiable need for revenge, Lothaire, the Lore’s most ruthless vampire, plots to seize the Horde’s crown. But bloodlust and torture have left him on the brink of madness—until he finds Elizabeth Peirce, the key to his victory. He captures the unique young mortal, intending to offer up her very soul in exchange for power, yet Elizabeth soothes his tormented mind and awakens within him emotions Lothaire believed he could no longer experience.

A DEADLY FORCE DWELLS WITHIN HER

Growing up in desperate poverty, Ellie Peirce yearned for a better life, never imagining she’d be convicted of murder—or that an evil immortal would abduct her from death row. But Lothaire is no savior, as he himself plans to sacrifice Ellie in one month’s time. And yet the vampire seems to ache for her touch, showering her with wealth and sexual pleasure. In a bid to save her soul, Ellie surrenders her body to the wicked vampire, while vowing to protect her heart.

CENTURIES OF COLD INDIFFERENCE SHATTERED

Elizabeth tempts Lothaire beyond reason, as only his fated mate could. As the month draws to a close, he must choose between a millennia-old blood vendetta and his irresistible prisoner. Will Lothaire succumb to the miseries of his past . . . or risk everything for a future with her?

 Sick of hearing about vampires? So is Meena Harper.
But her bosses are making her write about them anyway, even though Meena doesn't believe in them.
Not that Meena isn't familiar with the supernatural. See, Meena Harper knows how you're going to die. (Not that you're going to believe her. No one ever does.)
But not even Meena's precognition can prepare her for what happens when she meets—then makes the mistake of falling in love with—Lucien Antonescu, a modern-day prince with a bit of a dark side. It's a dark side a lot of people, like an ancient society of vampire hunters, would prefer to see him dead for.
The problem is, Lucien's already dead. Maybe that's why he's the first guy Meena's ever met whom she could see herself having a future with. See, while Meena's always been able to see everyone else's future, she's never been able look into her own.
And while Lucien seems like everything Meena has ever dreamed of in a boyfriend, he might turn out to be more like a nightmare.
Now might be a good time for Meena to start learning to predict her own future…
If she even has one.

ALL THE PLEASURES OF THE SEASON
JUST IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS (Dec. 20th!)... an e-novella from Avon Impulse


Imagine a Regency Christmas in a fairy tale castle in the beautiful Lake District of England. Imagine a Christmas wedding, with a beautiful bride, and—wait. 


Is the bride about to marry the wrong man?


In Secrets of A Proper Countess, sparkling debutante Lady Miranda Archer was determined to choose a husband based on his fortune, his title, and the size of his castle. But being one of the unpredictable Archers, she couldn't help falling in love with the most unsuitable man in London, Gilbert Fielding, a penniless second son with no title at all, a man who couldn't possibly marry her.


At her family's urging, Miranda chooses the ton's most eligible bachelor, the handsome, rich, and titled Earl of Kelton. The ton predicted it. Her family is delighted. But Miranda cannot forget her first love (can anyone?)


And poor Gilbert. He knows his suit for Miranda would never be accepted by her grandfather, even if he gathered the courage to face the old duke. He decides to keep his place, accept the fact that a woman like Miranda isn't for the likes of him and join the army.


But nobility and fortune come in many guises, especially at Christmas, and Kelton isn't at all what he seems. When Gilbert discovers the earl's secrets, he's determined to protect Miranda, even if it means a long ride to Carrington Castle through thick December snow...


All The Pleasures of The Season will be available on e-book (and print on demand) on December 20, just in time for the holidays!


So when the baking's finished, and the wrapping is done, curl up and enjoy All The Pleasures of The Season with me!
