Bait: A Tale Dripping in Crimson
A steamy erotic paranormal thriller short story ready to titillate your senses.
There is only one way to lure a sex-crazed demoness out into the offering bait she can't resist
....And there is one southern gentleman who fits the bill.
Detective Mark "Kip" Kipper has only recently come to the knowledge of the supernatural world around him. On loan from the Crimson PD to the Department of Paranormal Affairs and Activities, he is assisting Special Agent Xander Sun in investigating a series of attacks made by a mysterious creature that uses lust to capture its prey.
He's a lonely, but kindly man, so frightened of intimacy, he will practically run in the opposite direction of a beautiful woman. But when Mae saunters into the bar, he finds himself unable to do anything but fall all over her. Letting his guard down something he hates. With her, it seems like the easiest thing in the world.
Will Kip be able to resist the pull of a creature who feeds on his darkest desires, or will he succumb to the ecstasy she promises in poisoned, honey-covered whispers?
Even a southern gentleman has his limits.
Welcome to Crimson, a posh, ocean-side city on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. But it's not just a tourist trap; it's home to all sorts of things that go bump in the night. Vampires, Skinwalkers, and Witches, among other creatures, roam the city streets, preying on the unwitting humans who have serviced them for generations.

About the author
Erica Beale
16 books4 followersErica Beale writes paranormal romance and romantasy for grown-up readers who like their fantasy messy, magical, sensual, and full of yearning.
Her stories feature complicated supernatural characters, slow-burn romance, found family, dangerous magic, and heroines who don't have to be nineteen, tiny, or destined for a throne to deserve an extraordinary story.
She is the author of The Veils Between Them, the first novel in the Crimson series, set in Crimson, Maryland, where witches, vampires, demons, fae, and other supernatural beings live a little too close to ordinary humans for anyone's comfort.
When she isn't writing, Erica is usually reading romantasy, developing unnecessarily elaborate theories about fictional people, or discovering that one of her own characters has ruined the plot again.
Magic. Mayhem. Burning & yearning.
