I hope that you enjoyed Outtakes from the Grave! Continue reading for a peek into Jeaniene’s other best-selling series.

The Night Prince series:

Once Burned

Twice Tempted

Bound By Flames

Into The Fire

She’s a mortal cursed with dark power. He’s the prince of night…

After a tragic accident left Leila with a terrifying ability to channel electricity and to see a person’s darkest secrets through a single touch, she is doomed to a life of solitude. Then creatures of the night kidnap Leila, forcing her to reach out to the world’s most infamous vampire. Vlad Tepesh inspired the greatest vampire legend of all, and his ability to control fire makes him one of the most feared vampires in existence, but whatever you do, don’t call him Dracula.

Teaser for Once Burned, book one in the Night Prince series:

“Why didn’t you tell me there was a catch to drinking your blood? Maximus said that doing it made me, ah…”

“Mine.” Vlad finished my sentence without hesitation.

My temper rose at his complete self-assuredness. “I didn’t agree to that, so forget it.”

He sat on the edge of the bed and leaned down, setting his arms on either side of my face. “You think my blood is the only tie between us?”

His voice was low, yet edged with palpable hunger. It seemed to rub me in places I’d only ever touched before, making my anger fade under a flash of desire. Vlad was so close that his hair was a shadowy veil all around me, and when he began to caress my face with light, sure strokes, it was all I could do not to close my eyes in bliss.

“This is our true tie,” he whispered, his breath falling hotly onto my lips. “You’re meant for me, and I will have you.”

The Broken Destiny series:

The Beautiful Ashes

The Sweetest Burn

The Brightest Embers

Sometimes falling in love really is the end of the world…

Ivy has always seen things she cannot explain. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers that the truth is worse—her hallucinations are real, and the one person who can help her is the dangerously attractive guy bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.

The fate Adrian fought to escape is here, but he never expected the desire he feels for Ivy. Adrian knows what Ivy doesn’t—the truth about her destiny and a war that could doom the world.

Teaser from The Beautiful Ashes, book one in the Broken Destiny series:

“I’m warning you, Ivy. Don’t push me.”

“Or what?” I flared. “You have nothing to threaten me with! The only reason I can stand to keep going is because I don’t have anything to lose, so pushing you doesn’t scare me—”

I didn’t see Adrian’s hands flash out, but suddenly they were in my hair as he yanked me to him, his mouth scorching mine.

My shock vanished. So did my questions. Desire hijacked my emotions, leaving nothing except a surge of need. Hints of alcohol flavored his kiss, but beneath that was his taste, infinitely more intoxicating, and I responded as if it was my drug of choice. I moaned as my head tilted back. Then he pulled me across the seats until I was on top of him.

“This is why I stayed away.” Growled against my mouth as his hands started to rove over me with knowing, ruthless passion. “Can’t be near you without wanting you. Can’t stop myself anymore—”

His words cut off as his kiss deepened, until I could hardly breathe from the erotic thrusts and delves of his tongue. I’d been kissed before, but never like this. He wasn’t exploring my mouth. He was claiming it.

Praise for the Broken Destiny series:

“A pure stunner. Frost skillfully balances passion and peril in an attention-grabbing story that’s exciting from page one.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review

“Jeaniene Frost brings her signature wit, sizzle, and extraordinary imagination to this epic new series.”—#1 New York Times best-selling author Jennifer L. Armentrout

“Jeaniene Frost is blessed with a creative soul.”—#1 New York Times best-selling author Sherrilyn Kenyon

“A fast-moving tale that refuses to let up until the end. Books don’t get more fun or action-packed than this!”—Romantic Times

“If you prefer nail-biting, otherworldly suspense and adventure with your love story, this one’s for you.”—Book Page
