Devil at Midnight
by Emma Holly

For years, mercenary captain Christian Durand has done everything he can to protect his men from his power hungry father. When a beautiful ghost appears to offer comfort, he assumes the strain has finally pushed him over the edge. The specter claims she’s his friend from another life—a tale the cynical soldier finds difficult to believe.

Grace Gladwell has her own experience with abusive fathers. Thanks to an accident with hers, one moment she’s in 1950s America, the next, she’s in 1460, Switzerland, trying to convince a Medieval soldier that she’s neither a figment of his imagination or an imp from Hell.

These would be challenges enough without vampire queen Nim Wei setting her immortal sights on Christian. When she threatens to help his father destroy them all, Christian must choose between his darker urges and a love that spans centuries...

Emma Holly's Bio

Okay. About me. Born in New Jersey. Grew up in Baltimore. Moved to the midwest when the city I was living in started to get too scruffy. Always wanted to be a writer. (Never mind my pre-pubescent fantasies about being Batman's girlfriend. I didn't imagine I'd get paid for that.)

I wrote for a long time before I sold. Not too long, I guess, since I didn't give up, but long enough to appreciate how amazing it is that so many of my dreams are coming true. (Yes, you too can become a published author!)

My first sale was MENAGE to Black Lace. I wrote five erotic novels for them, a novella for Secrets, then sold my first historical romance to Berkley Jove. Until I worked on BEYOND INNOCENCE, I had no idea research could be enjoyable. I mean, why don't they give the fun history books with the pretty pictures to kids in high school? I could be so much less ignorant if I'd had them.

But no matter. Being ignorant is a good excuse to by more books. And learning is a pleasure, especially when you can turn it into a story someone will love.
