Romance You’ll Want To Get Lost In
Demon hunter, Levi Walker eliminates the bastards using
divine weapons. One monster at a time until he tracks down the demonic filth
that killed his best friend. So when he finally corners the beast, it’s payback
time. But with the newest hunting recruit making an appearance and catching him
off guard—the same minx who broke his heart months earlier—the fight takes a
deadly twist. The demon targets Cary, but in Levi’s attempt to save her, they
both get marked for death.

deadly twist. The demon targets Cary, but in Levi’s attempt to save her, they
both get marked for death.
Cary Stone’s secret will get her thrown into Hell faster
than a demon jacked up on virgin blood. Born a half-demon, she’s always
followed her father’s instruction—never get close to anyone, never stay too
long in one place, and always work alone. Except this past year, she’s managed
to break every single rule by getting a job hunting demons, falling insanely
for Levi, and getting them both on the hit list by the biggest mercenary in
Hell. But revealing her secret to Levi comes with the complication of him
attempting to exorcise her. Whichever way she turns, death awaits. All she
really wants is a normal life and a chance with Levi, but looks like that’s a
fantasy she’ll never have.

Her attention dipped to the ink on his chest, just above his
heart, reminding her of a shield. The protective rune reduced the chance of
demons possessing him. It didn’t eliminate the possibility. Nothing did. But

“Hmh.” Her gaze fell to his butt. Two dimples sat above his

lick the beads of water off his skin, she strangled the tweezers in her hand to
keep from reaching for them. Why was she torturing herself?

“Thanks.”
Silence floated between them with nothing but the sound of
running water. He wrapped an arm around her waist, drawing her against his wet
body. The moisture soaked through her clothes. Her mind emptied as his hardness
pressed against her, and her libido did somersaults. He withdrew the tweezers
from her clutched hand and set them down somewhere behind her.

“I wish you’d returned my calls,” he said.
Her response jammed somewhere between her toes and ears,
along with any rational thinking. Unless of course, someone considered ripping
their clothes off to jump a naked hunk reasonable behavior. Cary had lost focus
on anything but Levi’s body mashed against hers. His warm breath on her face.
The tightness of his grip around her hips. She felt tiny in his arms. Nothing
mattered right then. Not the demons, not her secret, not even making sense of
why Levi hugged her when she’d made it clear a relationships between them
couldn’t work.

Beneath his gaze, she melted. He offered her a temporary
fairytale escape. With his hand threading through her hair, drawing her closer,
every nerve in her body stood on end. She raised herself on tippy toes and
tilted her head back to reach his mouth. He leaned forward, his soft lips
grazing hers. Fire shot through her body.

How long have you been a writer, Tania, and how did
you come to writing?
you come to writing?
While I’ve only been writing for about five
years, I like to think that a writer has always been living inside my head. I
grew up listening to bedtime Romanian stories that could only be compared to
the Brothers Grimm tales, and ever since then folklore and mythology has
fascinated me. I remember as a child, I enjoyed scribbling stories on pieces of
papers and on the inside of book covers. I even signed the books as if they
were my own. Let’s just say, my sister wasn’t impressed when she found her
books written on. It was years later when I fell ill with a horrible flu that I
pulled out my laptop out and decided to type up some of my ideas. And ever
since, I haven’t been able to stopJ

How did you come up with this storyline?
Well, funny story. I was going through this
phase of watching Supernatural and Dog the Bounty Hunter shows… addicted is a
better way to describe it, anyway, after getting my fix, a story came together
in my mind. A half-demon hiding in plain sight in the human world and working
alongside the country’s best demon hunter. What could possibly go wrong… right?

On another note, I went through another
phase of watching those b-grade snake movies too – Anaconda vs Python. But no
story has spawned from them yet!!

What are the best and the worst aspects of
writing?
writing?
I love hearing from readers what they
thought of my stories, if they’ve been touched by a scene, did they connect to
a character. The aspect of writing I adore is creating fictional worlds, and
then getting lost in them.

The hard part is stepping back from my
creative side and editing. Needs to be done because I’m a big believer that
great stories are rewritten during edits, but that ride sure is a bumpy one.

How did you conduct your research for Demon’s
Mark
Mark
Lots and lots of reading on the topics I’m
writing. Much of this was done online. So in Demon’s Mark, I did extensive
research on how priests exorcise possessions, understanding the hierarchy of
demons, what exactly are hellhounds and their abilities (You’ve want to meet
Blinkie in Demon’s Mark!!). I also watched lots of YouTube videos to really see
the streets of Detroit and Ann Arbor as I’ve never been there.

“Because your Cary is a fantasy. She’s not
me. And you know nothing about the real me! Did you know that I hate cherries.
I always sleep with socks, even in summer. And I sponsor seven kids in
Bolivia.” A shiver rolled down her back, and she rubbed the goose bumps from
her arms. She locked her gaze with him and braced herself for his smart-ass
response.
