Today I have another Deliciously Decadent December author for you – Emma Peterson with her new release Seducing St. Nic.
And just to recap: Deliciously Decadent December is nine Ellora’s Cave authors with December releases. We decided we’d promote one another’s books on each other’s blogs, AND we’d give away copies of our new releases as we go.
On days we don’t have new releases to give away we’ll have books from other authors to give away and some of them will be our guests at the Deliciously Decadent December Yahoo Group, which you can join here. So drop by each day, where the nine of us will be visiting with guest authors and other readers. You’ll find an updated list at the Deliciously Decadent December Yahoo Group.

Excerpt
Barbara Jean Ruiz’s life has never been what anyone would call glamorous. She lives in an okay apartment, in an okay neighborhood and has an okay job with less-than-okay wages. Her life is…okay.
Then her luck starts to change. She wins a gorgeous fur coat. She gets promoted and her new boss is none other than the super-sexy St. Nic. Cypriano San Nicolo is everything a woman could want. He’s tall, dark, handsome, rich, successful and, oh yeah, the evil undead.
After nearly a century of self-imposed sleep, St. Nic has only two uses for humans—blood and sex. Until he meets Barbara Jean, his irreverent, wisecracking assistant. If he shows up at her apartment just before dawn, she’ll have to take him in. Into her bed, if everything goes as planned.
Here’s Emma’s question for everyone. If you could confirm the existence of one supernatural being which would it be?
My answer: It’s simple. I already know the Middlemarch shifters are real. What???? You don’t believe me. Surely you don’t believe I make all that stuff up?

I’m going to say that I’d prefer to confirm the existence of wizards or faeries. There is so much mystery surrounding those two supernatural beings that even if their existence was confirmed there’d still be plenty to find out. I think confirming the existence of vampires or were-creatures would reduce the mystery around them and would reduce my enjoyment in them.

Vampires…..they’ve always been my first love. I would love to know that they are living among us.

Okay, I don’t like vampires. There I said it. I have a fear of stab wounds (No, I don;t know the official name of that fear.) so vampires just creep me out. They are so not sexy.
That being said I’d love for either fairies or witches to be discovered/proved real.
Hugs,

Great question.
I have to agree with Karin. Confirming the existence of vamps or weres, who are in human form, would reduce the mystery of immortality and shapeshifting.
The wee folk, on the other hand, aren’t human in their original form, and are thus truly other-worldly. So to know that they are real is to confirm a whole other world beyond what we can see. And after all, don’t ghosts and witches already live among us??

I totally agree about shifters, Shelley, I would just love a little peek at one.

Undoubtly, werewolves!

Weres would be my first choice (especially wolf and large cat shifters), but Elves would be an extremely close second.

Make that Elves as in tall, muscular, long-haired, pointy-eared and magical.

LOL – you know Jory – my mind went immediately to the short, ugly ones and I thought what?????? She doesn’t!!

So did mine after I hit enter–which is why there’s a hasty clarification!

Vamps or Wolfs. Seducing St. Nic sounds great!

Elves and fairies. There must be some truth under all those fairy tales. I have been witing for this book.

OK, I’m a huge scaredy cat, so I actually wouldn’t want any confirmation of anything scary. Maybe I’d have to go with something cute or relatively harmless–leprechauns? ;)

Fedora – yeah, these creatures have powers. We don’t want to get too close, just learn of their existence, right?

Ohhh, I would have to say Vampires and Shifters.
Shelley, please throw a Christmas Party with ALL the Middlemarch shifters and wait for the stampede!
Emma, your book sounds wonderful and I love the cover.

I’ll go along with Fedora and pick leprechauns. Nothing that would frighten me and give me nightmares.
