Jaded Prey
by Lorie O'Clare

What's a horny god to do when the fiery little mortal lady who has all his senses twitching won't give him the time of day? His powers don't impress her, and neither does his hot car or palatial home. Merco does have one weapon though, and it has nothing to do with the "artillery" he's packing—at least not in the beginning.

When Naomi attends a coven meeting the last thing she expects is to meet a guy who is hot enough to be a god—Greek, Roman or anything else. He's hot enough to sizzle her synapses with just a look, let alone a touch. If only he wasn't an arrogant, pushy jerk!

When the demon that has been haunting her sleep slips into her waking hours, making her life a living hell, the last person on Earth she expects to come to her rescue is Mr Tall Dark and Dangerous from the coven. When Merco realizes how desperately Naomi needs him, the battle for her body quickly turns into a fight for her heart and soul.

Lorie O'Clare's Bio

All my life, I've wondered at how people fall into the routines of life. The paths we travel seemed to be well-trodden by society. We go to school, fall in love, find a line of work (and hope and pray it is one we like), have children and do our best to mold them into good people who will travel the same path. This is the path so commonly referred to as the "real world". The characters in my books are destined to stray down a different path other than the one society suggests. Each story leads the reader into a world altered slightly from the one they know. For me, this is what good fiction is about, an opportunity to escape from the daily grind and wander down someone else's path. Lorie O'Clare lives in Kansas with her three sons.
