Damned at birth, eight immortal children of a high priestess are compelled to kill the one that holds their heart. They can never fall in love.

Cursed to Kill
INHERITED DAMNATION Book #1

One of eight children born to an ancient Celtic priestess and sired by a demonic incubus, Cian McLaine suffers from a centuries-old curse. Though his immortality allows him to enjoy the pleasures of mortal life, he is plagued by the desire to kill. As long as he doesn't fall in love he can keep the compulsion at bay.

When Cian walked into her rare bookstore months ago, Miranda Phillips never imagined she'd lose her heart to the handsome playboy. Her reward for doing so was abandonment. Cian left as mysteriously as he appeared, in the middle of the night with no explanation, no goodbye. Now he's back, and passion flares just as hot. But Cian has secrets. If Miranda is to survive, she must uncover the truth and free his darkened soul.

Tormented by Darkness
INHERITED DAMNATION Book #2

Cursed by her incubus father centuries ago, the last thing Rhiannon McLaine wants is to fall in love.

The night she delivers flowers to detective Mick Farrell, however, everything changes. Deep-seated attraction flares into untamed passion. In the morning, Rhiannon awakens to find she’s lost her heart. Now, unless she can convince Mick of her secret past, she’s destined to take his life.

When Rhiannon asks Mick to go camping with her, instinct warns him to refuse. Though he hungers for her love and the goodness she represents, he’ll do anything to keep her from discovering the darkness within his soul. Yet a weekend in the woods is the perfect place to indulge in temporary desire…until he finds himself bound against his will.

Surrounded by ancient Celtic rites and magic, can Mick see beyond Rhiannon’s duplicity and recognize her love? Or will the revelation of her true demonic nature doom Rhiannon to a mortal life alone?

Claire’s Top 5 Favorite Paranormal Themes

5. Vampires – Years ago, this would have been at the top of my list.  And if you get into bloodthirsty vamps, it moves a bit higher.  One of my first writings was a fan fiction based off The Lost Boys.  Yum!  :sings:  “Thou, shalt not kill…”  You’re welcome for the earworm.

4.  Werewolves – and not the kind that turn all lovey-dovey.  The kind that are in Wolf, with Jack Nicholson.  Or remember Oz, in Buffy?  Yeah… give me some mysterious full moon habits with a sense of danger and death... oh my!

3.  Religious Paranormal – Have you seen The Rite?  Or does anyone remember The Believers?  This kind of paranormal element is something that just fascinates me.  I’ll say my prayers though, because I simply never want to experience it.

2.  Ghosts and Hauntings – Everybody loves a good ghost, right?  I’ve been blessed (or cursed, depending on your perspective) to share my home with some people who have been here before me.  We get along well, the dog used to be a source of entertainment.  But if it’s haunted, I’m so there!

And last, my very favorite:

1.  Vanishing Cultures – this isn’t just a playground for my creativity, it’s a full scale Amusement Park, where I can build the death-defying rides and relax on the Merry-Go-Rounds too.  I’m also a historical buff, and this really fits well with my love of research and my untamable imagination.

What about you?  What’s your favorite theme – and why?  Where did you first experience it (in literature, entertainment, or real encounters.)
