Hunter Sacrificed by Nancy Corrigan is an introductory prequel novella to her Wild Hunt series of f/m paranormal urban fantasy romance based primarily on Celtic mythology (but with crossovers from other pantheons), this installment giving the long-ago backstory of the Welsh god of the underworld Arawn's quest to set right his wrongs by making a terrible pact with the Wild Hunt, and incidentally also his love for the Roman goddess Minerva (not actually the Roman goddess of love; someone really didn't do their research, and hopefully it was only the blurb writer), free courtesy of publisher Samhain.

This has a spicy 4 out of 5 flames on the heat index over at ARE.

Currently free on a long-term basis as one of their selection of freebie introductory shorts @ B&N, Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians), and also DRM-free worldwide directly from the publisher's webstore & AllRomance eBooks.

The 1st novel in the series proper, which is set in modern times and involving persons of mythological descent, is temporarily marked down to just 99 cents as one of Samhain's sporadic sale titles (matched in most stores): Hunter Deceived. This is apparently a tie-in sale to promote the recent release of the 3rd novel, which came out just last week.

Description
His vow to save mankind turns him into the father of the damned...

Arawn, Lord of the Underworld, is faced with the hardest decision of his long life. Because of his neglect, humans are suffering...but his vow to make things right could cost him everything he holds dear.

Minerva, the Goddess of Love, holds his heart and soul, except the act he must now commit might very well destroy their love.

But his sacrifice doesn't go far enough to end the humans' agony. It compounds it--and turns him into a pawn. He cannot renege on his deal with the Triad, but he can avenge those he's wronged.

To do that, he'll need every one of his Huntsmen to win the greatest game of all time--the Wild Hunt.

Warning: Goodness and light vs. sacrifice and darkness. Seriously, what could possibly go wrong?
