Melissa is a vampire; Derek is a vampire hunter.
When beautiful, sad Melissa Jones flees to New Orleans with her telepathic best friend, she is looking for a cure—not an erotic encounter with a sexy former Marine.
Derek Alexander left the military intending to become a private investigator, but with two powerful shifters as partners and an immunity to vampire glamour, he instead rose to the top in paranormal justice.
At a bar on Bourbon Street, Derek and Melissa cross paths, and their sexual chemistry is off the charts. Acting on their feelings, they are pulled deeper into an affair, but Melissa is hiding, hoping to escape her cruel maker.
It doesn’t take long before the shifters uncover her secret. Still, Derek is determined to confront the Old One and reclaim her mortality—even at the risk of losing his.
A STANDALONE PARANORMAL ROMANCE with an HEA based on characters from the One to Hold series. Contains voluptuous vampires, alluring alpha military heroes, scorching-hot shifters, beguiling witches, and panty-melting sexy times. Keep the fans nearby… Readers 18 and older only, please.
Review
I absolutely love where Tia Louise took Melissa and Derek’s relationship in One Immortal – all of their deep feelings and the instantaneous, sizzling connection still exists in the darkness of the paranormal world, even putting a series of different obstacles in their way, but it still stays true to the essence of what the couple had from their very first encounter in One to Hold. In a way, due to their other worldly attributes, their connection is deepened and amplified in a way that every emotion resonates off of the pages, and as the mystery unfolds and questions are answered, readers are treated to a New Orleans’ underworld that never sleeps and threatens to take every character into the black magic environment of the Big Easy.
Melissa and Derek are both searching for answers when their pull towards each other distracts them and the control they’re both holding tightly to begins to unravel. They crave one another, but that need is dangerous because Derek’s hunting the type of monster that Melissa was forced to turn into and one taste is all it takes for their desire for each other becomes a thirst they can’t quench and don’t want to despite the repercussions of their sensual relationship.
The paranormal world created in One Immortal is vividly brought to life through Tia Louise’s word choice and the details she uses to bring the underworld into the light; this world includes a multitude of supernatural characters – some who are allies to Derek and Melissa and others who threaten everything they’re building as well as their lives. Elaine, Patrick, Stuart and Mariska are all play pivotal roles in helping Melissa to fight her cravings and protecting everyone against other vampires thirsting for new blood. Things also move forward in their own relationships, which flows nicely into their own paranormal stories, which definitely need to be told because Louise transitioned Derek and Melissa’s story into the paranormal realm so well, keeping the essence of who they are together and bringing the darker and more sensual aspects of the supernatural.

Melissa
Derek clears his throat, and glances down. “You told them?”
“Told us what?” Patrick looks up from where he and Elaine are sharing a private tête-à-tête consisting of smiles and soft laughter.
“My friend got a little hungry last night.” Elaine gives him a wink, but his expression turns fierce. If my friend weren’t blocking him, he’d be on his feet grabbing me.
“What the fuck?”
Derek extends a strong arm. “Take it easy. It doesn’t concern you.”
“Fucking concerns me if you end up dead and drained.”
“Oh god,” I whisper. “I’m sorry.” Turning in my seat, I have a straight shot for the door, and I take it.
I’m down the short flight of stairs, out on the flagstone sidewalk, when Derek catches me, cornering me between a white stucco column and a curtained window. His large body shields me from the street traffic.
“Where are you going?” A smile is in his voice, but I’m on the verge of tears.
“He’s right. I can’t risk your life like this.”
“It’s my decision, and I want to help you.”
Holding his arms, I can’t stop a shiver. “If anything happened to you. If I couldn’t stop—”
“You will. You controlled it last night. You’ll control it again.”
Shaking my head, my fingers tighten on his biceps. “You have no idea how hard it is to control.” His nearness, his breath against my skin sends desire racing to my core. “I can barely control it now.”
His head lowers, his breath a warm whisper at my cheek. “What are you feeling right now?”
Lifting my chin, I take a deep inhale of his masculine scent. My nose just touches his collarbone, following the line of his neck higher. My insides clench, and I feel his muscles respond to my nearness, beckoning me on. His pulse is just beneath his skin. A whispered moan exhales through my lips as they part, allowing me to touch him with my tongue.
With a hiss, I realize my fangs are out. I’m on the street, in the middle of a mercifully overcast day, on the edge of biting him again. My hand flies to cover my mouth, and I see desire burning in his navy eyes.
“Oh, god, Derek.” I can barely speak between my changed features and my hand.
He shocks me when he only grins. “Glad I’m not the only one who can’t hide how attracted I am to you.” A shift of his hips, and I feel the erection nudging my thigh.
It’s exactly what I needed, because a little laugh chokes out with my frightened tears. He pulls my face to his chest while we both attempt to regain control.
“Deep breaths, my love. I’m not going anywhere, and you’re not going to hurt me.”
