Hunter Betrayed
by Nancy Corrigan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wild Hunt, Book 1
Tainted from birth, Harley lives a life cloaked in darkness and temptation. She resists the lure of her evil legacy by holding the memory of her ghostly savior close. Every night without him is agony. She fantasizes about him and yearns for his body, but he’s not the protector or lover she’s envisioned. He’s a Hunter bred to eliminate her kind. He’s also her only hope of salvation.
Calan, the leader of the Wild Hunt, was created to protect mankind from the Unseelie Court. For a millennium, he’s sacrificed to ensure the horrid creatures remain in the Underworld, but his strength wanes. He must rely on his enemy’s daughter to save him, but he doesn’t expect the intensity of their lust or love. Her touch calms his wild nature and ignites his carnal desires. He’ll risk all to save her, but doing so forces him to make the ultimate sacrifice, one that’ll damn him to suffer forever in his own living hell.

“Hurry, woman, I want you.”
“And I need you.” A grin on her face, she picked up the key and sashayed back to his side. She dropped to her knees. “But I need to deal with Raul first.”
“The redcap?” A red haze slipped over his vision. “You know his name?”
She paused with her hand on the manacles binding his ankles and flicked her gaze to his. “He’s the one who’s hunted me for years.”
She danced her fingertips up his leg. At the crease where thigh met groin, she stroked from top to bottom, reaching between his legs to complete the explorative path. She leaned closer and her breasts pillowed against him. Head tipped back, the full force of her siren eyes pierced him.
“He almost got me a couple of times. If it wasn’t for the knowledge you pushed into my mind, I would’ve died at his hands.” She lowered her gaze to focus on his rigid cock hidden behind his pants. A slow swipe of her tongue accompanied the hungry, low groan she made. “I’m going to thank you properly for saving my life and giving me a reason to fight.”
She closed her mouth around the length of his dick and nibbled. A string of curses he’d learned from her spilled out of his mouth. She clamped a little harder, just to the point where he contemplated tugging her off him but she eased the pressure and rested her cheek over him.
“I’ll make sure you never regret it, Calan.”

Author Interview
One of my favorite things about being an author is taking an idea and giving it life. I absolutely love letting my imagination run wild. Sometimes my ideas come from dreams or they just pop into my head. Other times, something triggers it. In the case of the Wild Hunt series, it’s a little of both plus a dash of fantasy as I drew from both Welsh and Celtic mythology to create this series.
In my fictional world, I wanted to include a few factors—love, intense passion, and characters who walk the line between good and evil. I’ve always been fascinated by free will and why people do the things they do. I think everyone has the potential to be good or bad. It’s our upbringing and morals that guide our choices. But for the demigod riders of the Wild Hunt, I wanted them to struggle just a little more than most. I like to torture my heroes and heroines before giving them their happily-ever-after. I just can’t help it. It makes them stronger and helps them appreciate true love when they find it.
The Huntsmen are the children of Arawn, the Lord of the Underworld, and a human mother. It makes them dual-natured, born with both the wickedness of their father and the goodness of the mother. They’re the most powerful beings to walk the earth but anger and the need to seek revenge for the wrong can control them if they’re not careful. It’s the all-consuming draw of the Hunt that they constantly fight. If they give in, they became the feared creatures often depicted in mythology wherever the Wild Hunt is mentioned.
But they have a softer side, reserved for their family and mates. And love, the Huntsmen will learn, will be the one thing that’ll heal their split nature, once and for all.
