[Touched by Midnight - Book 5]
Will the hunter . . .
Against the uninhibited decadence of 1920’s New York, where bootleg liquor flows until dawn to the sound of hot jazz and rolling dice, day-walking vampire, Frederica Lavoy stalks those of her kind to bring them to her father’s court for crimes against humankind. A series of careless murders leads her to an exclusive club where patrons drink more than champagne from unsuspecting guests. Drawn to the club’s owner, the enigmatic Darcy Edwards, Rica’s loyalty is torn when she suspects he’s the man her father has sent her to find.
. . . become the hunted?
Tricked into embracing the night during the time of Pharaohs, Eduard D’Arcy struggles to bring peace to those who are damned by what they must do to survive. Yet he’s found no forgiveness for himself - until he’s captivated by the unique and spirited Rica. But in this game of cat and mouse they’re playing, the stakes are not just heart and soul, but life and death itself . . .

About Nancy Gideon
Nancy Gideon is the award-winning bestseller of over 80 original titles (83, including reissues) since her first publication in 1987. This Michigan author’s writing career is as versatile as the romance market, itself. Her books encompass genres from action-packed historicals, lushly sensual regencies, and contemporaries edged with suspense, to the dark paranormal worlds of vampires and shapeshifters, with a couple of horror screenplays and an Indie horror movie tie-in novel thrown into the mix, along with non-fiction how-tos on writing and publishing.
Under her own name, Nancy Gideon, she’s a top 50 Amazon bestseller with her “Touched by Moonlight” vampire series and “By Moonlight” dark shape-shifter series, and is also listed on the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) for collaborating on Indie horror films In the Woods and Savage with screenwriting and ADR script credits, and a small role as “bar extra” she likes to boast about. Her Harlequin/Silhouette contemporary suspenses are also still available.
Writing historical and contemporary romance as Dana Ransom, she’s a “Career Achievement for Historical Adventure” award winner with books published in Romanian, Italian, Russian, Danish, Dutch, Portuguese, French, German, Icelandic and Chinese and her contemporary romances have been reissued. Many of her older historical titles (from the ‘80s and ‘90s) will also soon be reissued.
Writing historicals as Rosalyn West, she’s a HOLT Medallion winner, and she has also penned Regencies-set historicals as Lauren Giddings, with her first sale, SWEET TEMPEST, now available as her first audio book.
“Tremendous novels full of action, romance and incredible characters . . . nobody does a hero as well!” – Affaire de Coeur Magazine
A national speaker on writing in general and romance, in particular, and a prolific author, Nancy attributes her creative output, which once peaked at seven novels in one year, to her love of history, scary movies, and a gift for storytelling, also crediting a background in journalism and her OCD. Before her recent retirement, she was up every weekday at 4:30 a.m. to get in computer time before heading to her full-time job as a legal assistant in Central Michigan. Now, writing is her fulltime job and her ‘spare time,’ she dotes on her grandguy, feeds a Netflix addiction along with all things fur, fin and fowl, is a member of Romance Writers of America and its Mid-Michigan and Greater Detroit RWA chapters, and has enjoyed brainstorming with the same PotL critique group for over 20 years!
