Series: Purgatory Series
Author: Cynthia Eden
Blurb:
New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Cynthia Eden invites readers to a dark
paranormal world...
Vampires exist. So do werewolves. The creatures that you fear in the darkness? They’re all real. And the
baddest of the paranormals...those who love to hurt humans... they’re sent to Purgatory, the only
paranormal prison in the U.S.
His job is to stop the monsters.
Deadly forces are at work within Purgatory. The monsters are joining together — and their plans have to
be stopped. FBI Agent Shane August, a very powerful
vampire with a dark past, is sent into the prison
on
an undercover assignment. His job is to infiltrate
the vampire clan, by any means necessary.
She wants to help the prisoners.
Dr. Olivia Maddox wants to find out just why certain paranormals go bad. What pushes some vampires
over the edge? Why do some werewolves turn so savage? If she can understand the monsters, then
Olivia thinks she can help them. When she gets permission to enter Purgatory, Olivia believes she is
being given the research opportunity of a lifetime.
Olivia doesn't realize that she’s walking straight
into hell.
To survive, they have to rely on each other.
When the prisoners break loose, there is only one person — one vampire — who can protect her, but as
Olivia and Shane fight the enemies that surround them, a dark and dangerous passion stirs to life
between the doctor and the vamp. Shane realizes that Olivia is a woman carrying secrets — powerful,
sinful secrets. Secrets that a man would kill to possess.
And Olivia realizes that — sometimes — you can’t control the beast inside of you. No matter how hard you
try. Some passions can push you to the very limits
of your control... and the growing lust that she feels
for her vampire... it’s sending her racing right into
a deadly storm of desire.
Welcome to Purgatory... a place that’s a real hell on earth...
Excerpt
"I've got a plan, love. Trust me." He advanced into the darkness.
Her
nails sank into his skin. “No. Look
,
dammit, I get that it’s too little, too late, but I
wasn't exactly high on
choices upstairs.”
He frowned down at her. She wasn’t looking at his face in that total darkness, but instead staring just over his shoulder.

“Give
me something here — I mean, make me
know that I’m with the good guy.”
Oh,
but he couldn't do that. He’d never been exactly good, not even when
he’d been working with the FBI. If she only knew
the things he’d done, she might just run back up to
the wolves. “I work with
Pate.”
“Give
me more. Why are you at Purgatory?
What’s going on?”
He
pulled her closer. Wanted to take her
mouth again but didn’t. Control. “We
don’t have time for a fucking long discourse here,
love. So here are the simple
facts. I’m working undercover — a cover that I blew for you. And right now, I’m the only thing
standing
between you and death, so if you want to die, then
by all means...” He let her
go. “Don’t trust me.”
In
the darkness, he saw her wrap her arms around her stomach. “You... you haven’t
killed? Your file was all lies?”
“I've killed plenty.” Brutal truth. “And that’s why I’m your best hope of
survival.”
She
rocked back on her heels. “Have you killed innocents?”
The woman was so
naive. “There
are no innocents in this world.”
Her
body trembled. He could see the small ripple that shook her.
With his back teeth clenched, he demanded, “Now are you coming with me or do you want to try your luck with the wolves?”
Her hand lifted, tried to find him in the dark. He stepped toward her so that she touched his chest.
