A shapeshifting hellhound and paranormal bounty hunter, Caleb finally ends his century-long search for his runaway mate.

Excerpt:
Amelia never knew if she was stuck in a dream or one of the Phoenix’s visions. Nor did she care as long as she got to see the sexy, dark demon that brought her pleasure beyond anything she’d ever experienced. The scene was the same. A dimly lit room with a large-ass bed dressed in black satin sheets, taking up most of the space. Straight out of an erotic romance novel, right down to the hero, who stood beside the bed, waiting for her.
Dark hair framed a masculine face. Even though she couldn’t see his eyes, she knew they watched her. She felt it like a physical touch. Sexual heat rolled off of him in thick waves. She found it impossible to turn away, not that she could anyway. He captivated her.
“Come here, Nix.”
She shivered at his soft, husky command. The one thing Amelia didn’t understand was the nickname. The man—no, demon—had always called her that. Or was it the Phoenix’s nickname? The bird within her wouldn’t talk about it, and she remained silent while they’d relived the erotic dream over and over for the past couple of months.
As if she had no control over her body, Amelia walked farther into the room, not stopping until she reached the bed. Then she climbed onto it and kneeled, facing him. Leaning into her, the demon smiled before reaching out to stroke her cheek. A soft moan escaped her. Electrifying energy flowed between them, sending tingles skittering all over her.
When his lips touched hers, she melted. A sense of belonging and security filled her. With this male, no one would ever hurt her. She knew that down to the bone.
The internal flame that belonged to the Phoenix raced through her veins. The male hissed out a groan and pressed his hard cock into her thigh. Her pussy ached for his touch. Gripping his large shoulders, she scored his skin with her nails and moved her hips against him.
No matter how many times she’d lived the dream-memory-vision, the intense spark of heat and raw passion ignited like it was their first time.
He broke the kiss and trailed his lips along her jaw to her neck. Sucking in a breath, she whimpered when he bit down gently on the sensitive part of her throat. Damn, he was going to kill her with the teasing.
One rough hand slid down her side, which was bare to him. She didn’t remember undressing. Then again, she never did.
It’s just a dream. Go with it.
A squeeze of her hip jerked her attention to his features. His dark brown gaze held hers. A flash of silver rippled through his irises right before a primal growl rumbled from his chest. Wolf was the first word that came to mind, but that didn’t seem correct.
“What kind of demon are you?”
He didn’t answer. He never did. It was as if he couldn’t hear her. Was it even her dream? But there was no doubt it was her body he pleasured.
Gliding his hand across her belly, he captured her mouth in another hard, demanding kiss. His tongue dipped inside, searching for hers. Just as their tongues twined, he slipped two fingers inside her. Desire burst within her and built with each thrust of his fingers, pushing her over the edge.
“We have to go! Amelia! Wake up!”

Bounty
When an evil man murdered her best friend in front of her, Amelia just wanted to stay alive. But her friend was a Phoenix and the powerful spirit transferred herself into Amelia and together they ran to survive. She's learning about her powers while she dreams of a man. Who shows up after another kidnapping attempt. Amelia isn't sure of Caleb but he is a hell hound who's a bounty hunter who's also the Phoenix's mate. Caleb has been searching for years for his mate. He won't lose her again. So with mystery and suspense surrounding their romance, this was a fun book to read!!
I liked the main characters. It's a novella so it's not very long, but long enough for me to grow fond of them and want to see them survive, get a happily ever after, and get the bad guy his dues! Both Caleb and Amelia are strong and well written but I loved the Phoenix with her insight and weird powers. No not weird, scary good. Lol I also liked the story line and plot. It's fast paced and the writing flowed really well. I didn't even think of putting it down once I started reading. I loved it and I hope to see more of them, especially with the little surprise ending :) 5 PAWS!!
