Rage / Killian

Bayou Heat Novellas

by

Alexandra Ivy
&
Laura Wright

RAGE
Rage might be an aggressive Hunter by nature, but the gorgeous male has never had a problem charming the females. All except Lucie Gaudet. Of course, the lovely Geek is a born troublemaker, and it was no surprise to Rage when she was kicked out of the Wildlands.

But now the Pantera need a first-class hacker to stop the potential destruction of their people. And it’s up to Rage to convince Lucie to help. Can the two forget the past—and their sizzling attraction—to save the Pantera?

KILLIAN
Gorgeous, brutal, aggressive, and human, Killian O’Roarke wants only two things: to get rid of the Pantera DNA he’s been infected with, and get back to the field. But the decorated Army Ranger never bargained on meeting the woman—the female—of his dreams on his mission to the Wildlands.

Rosalie lost her mate to a human, and now the Hunter despises them all. In fact, she thinks they’re good for only one thing: barbeque. But this one she’s guarding is testing her beliefs. He is proud and kind, and also knows the pain of loss. But in a time of war between their species, isn’t any chance of love destined for destruction?

Dear Reader, 
 
It seems impossible to believe that it’s been almost three years since Laura and I shared a conversation where we casually discussed how much fun it would be to write a series together.  Neither of us ever dreamed BAYOU HEAT would not only become a USA Today Bestseller, but that we would be writing books 17 & 18 to share with our wonderful readers.  It has been a wild and fantastic ride that Laura and I wouldn’t have missed for anything.  We hope you’ll share our excitement in bringing you RAGE / KILLIAN!
 
Love, 
~Alex and Laura
Bayou Heat is set in Southern Louisiana so our thoughts naturally centered on the fabulous food and culture that comes from New Orleans.  We hope that you enjoy reading the books with a mint julep and a plate of praline cookies.

 
 
Mint Julep Ingredients:
3 fresh mint leaves
1 tablespoon mint simple syrup
Crushed ice
1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) bourbon
1 (4-inch) cocktail straw or coffee stirrer
1 fresh mint sprig
Powdered sugar (optional)
 
Preparation:
Place mint leaves and Mint Simple Syrup in a chilled julep cup. Gently press leaves against cup with back of spoon to release flavors. Pack cup tightly with crushed ice; pour bourbon over ice. Insert straw, place mint sprig directly next to straw, and serve immediately. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.


 
Praline Cookies Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
1 large egg

Alexandra Ivy & Laura Wright's
exclusive interview:

I loved both stories in this installment. The heat and attraction between both Rage and Lucie and Killian and Rosalie was amazing. How did you choose the characters for your novella?

Laura: This was an especially fun one for me. It’s the first time we’ve had a human male as a hero. Although he is…special. Not completely human anymore, but still. And pairing him up with one of our well-known females in the bayou. One readers know has struggled after the death of her mate. It brought great tension, angst and chemistry. Three of my favorite things to explore in writing.

Alexandra: Rage was introduced in an earlier book and I fell in love with him. I wanted to wait until I had the perfect partner before I wrote his book and when I came up with Lucie I knew they would be the perfect fit. When a male is charming and a little arrogant I love to match him with a female who knocks him down to size. LOL.

Now, I’m sure you’ve answered this before, but I’m dying to know…how did you guys working together come about?

Laura: I bought Alex on eBay. I kid. I kid. She tells the story the best…

Alexandra: It actually started with a phone call. One of those “Hey, you know what would be fun…” conversations. I think we were both just tossing out ideas without actually thinking it would happen since we were both writing for other houses. But then we realized we could actually do it if we each did a novella and put them together. Suddenly the world we were creating was possible and we jumped in headfirst. It’s been so insanely fun to work together, and honestly, when I have a chance to return to the Bayou Heat it always feels like coming home.
