The night finally arrives when Charlotte notices the food critic slinking in the door. She wants everything to be perfect…but of course that’s the moment when a drunk patron decides to cause a scene, cast a spell, and almost burn the building down. A five star review doesn’t seem in the offing, especially after the patron turns up dead in the doorway with fang marks in his neck. With the restaurant at the epicenter of a paranormal turf war, Charlotte needs to figure out who killed her customer, before all the bad press puts Nightlife out of business for good.

Praise for A TASTE OF THE NIGHTLIFE:

“It has all the ingredients for a successful cozy: a murder mystery, a likable heroine, interesting supporting characters, pinches of magic and danger mixed with sprinkles of romantic tension served up with a paranormal world that is integrated smoothly. I wonder why nobody has thought to do this vampire lite before.  Likely because not just any author could pull this off as well as Ms. Zettel has.  I will certainly be anxiously awaiting the next book to be released.” — Mysteries and My Musings –

“This is a light, frequently funny, and intelligently written book.  The next book in the series, Let Them Eat Stake, is scheduled for 2012 and I’m already looking forward to it.  Charlotte Caine is well worth another visit.” — Aunt Agatha’s Reviews –

In the Year Without a Summer, a group of mad geniuses descended on Geneva. In an attempt to save the body and mind of George Byron, they performed a dreadful and forbidden experiment that forever changed history – and tore their own lives apart.

Years later, Byron’s daughter Ada has inherited her father’s genius. With Charles Babbage, inventor of the analytical engine, she invents the “automatic sciences,” allowing the creation of machines that mimic human action, and even human thought. Once again, history has changed. Mechanical spiders perform menial tasks. Intelligent locomotives keep their own time schedules. Massive dirigibles and flying automata have flung the Empire – and piracy – into the sky itself.

But even a golden age casts a long shadow, and silent forces are moving in the darkness. Whispers of a conspiracy to destroy the Empire are beginning to surface. The fate of the Geneva experiment and the mad geniuses that created it remains unknown.

And the fate of the world itself rests in the hands of Ada Lovelace.

The Erasmus System is a sprawling realm of slavery, smugglers, spies—and constant, creeping decrepitude. Here everyone who is not part of the ruling Four Families is a slave of one kind or another. But the Guardians, a special-forces branch inside the United World Government for Earth, have deemed Erasmus a “hot spot.” Somehow, it is believed, this failing colony intends to launch a war upon the solar system.

Ex-Field Commander Terese Drajeske, now a mother of three, has been called back to active duty and sent to Erasmus, ostensibly to investigate the murder of her colleague—and friend—Bianca Fayette. At first blush, the death defies explanation: Bianca was immortal. But beneath that single murder lies a twisted foundation of deceptions. Suddenly Terese is plunged into a vortex of shattered lives, endemic deceit, and one dreadful secret. In this society without hope, someone has put into motion a plan that will cast humanity into chaos. And Terese, who has given up her family and her sanity to prevent war, may be asked to make the ultimate sacrifice….

In the Year Without a Summer, a group of mad geniuses descended on Geneva. In an attempt to save the body and mind of George Byron, they performed a dreadful and forbidden experiment that forever changed history – and tore their own lives apart.

Years later, Byron’s daughter Ada has inherited her father’s genius. With Charles Babbage, inventor of the analytical engine, she invents the “automatic sciences,” allowing the creation of machines that mimic human action, and even human thought. Once again, history has changed. Mechanical spiders perform menial tasks. Intelligent locomotives keep their own time schedules. Massive dirigibles and flying automata have flung the Empire – and piracy – into the sky itself.

But even a golden age casts a long shadow, and silent forces are moving in the darkness. Whispers of a conspiracy to destroy the Empire are beginning to surface. The fate of the Geneva experiment and the mad geniuses that created it remains unknown.

And the fate of the world itself rests in the hands of Ada Lovelace.

In the rarified atmosphere of London’s upper-crust society, the restless and willful Miranda Prosper is widely considered unmarriageable. She is therefore stunned to find the mysterious and unsettlingly handsome Mr. Corwin Rathe asking to accompany her for a waltz at a summer ball. But this dance will become far more than she ever imagined.

…with the touch of his flesh.

Corwin is a sorcerer. With his partner Darius Marlowe, he fights a hidden battle against a magic-force invasion of England. But Miranda has a power in her own right, and together all three are drawn into a sensuous web of sexual enchantment and intense erotic desire. But they also find themselves enmeshed in a dark game of magical intrigue, with stakes higher than any of them have ever conceived.

Romance Junkies says:

“Marissa Day is a rising star in the romance genre. THE SEDUCTION OF MIRANDA PROSPER is her debut book and she wrote it with amazing skill. I very much enjoyed the paranormal element to the story and I love that it was set during the regency time period. The characters are strong, stubborn and extremely likeable. Darius, Corwin and Miranda make a dream team. Their ability to share their love with one other astounds me. The passion between them is smoking hot and I could not get enough.”

Also in this series: THE SURRENDER OF LADY JANE.

This sweeping epic follows the romance and adventures of four of the greatest of King Arthur’s knights.  IN CAMELOT’S SHADOW introduces us to Sir Gawain, eldest of the sons of King Lot and regarded as the greatest of all knights.  But when he meets Lady Risa he learns there is more to love than light and glory.  FOR CAMELOT’S HONOR follows his brother, Sir Geraint who must save his love from its deadly enchantment and win her imperiled heart or lose his life.  UNDER CAMELOT’S BANNER is the saga of the youngest of the brothers, Squire Gareth as he learns the true price of both love and glory.  CAMELOT’S BLOOD brings to the fore Sir Agravain.  Bitter, taciturn and one of the least regarded knights of the Round Table, Agravain must risk his life and his kingdom to save his love, and win the heart he never believed he’d love
