WHAT’S INSIDE

Little Red Vamp — Samhain
On the eve of Halloween, a string of brutal murders plagues Astoria. As the veil thins, werewolf Lucas and vampire hunter Belladonna are drawn into a deadly game of seduction and slaughter. What begins as a hunt becomes a reckoning, where ancient hunger and modern vice collide under a blood-bright moon.

The Night Hunt — Samhain
Five years before Savannah’s Awakening, this stand-alone prequel plunges Lucas and Ansel into the darker heart of Carnal Sanctuary. Ancient gods stir, brides are hunted, and the mansion’s forest remembers the taste of blood.

Snowed In — Yule
Trapped together by a brutal winter storm, a solitary werewolf and an injured guest confront more than a blizzard. As Yule’s long night closes in and the full moon rises, heat builds, boundaries blur, and a fragile connection offers warmth against the dark.

Fae Night / Incubus Night — Yule
The solstice opens the door to mischief, magic, and indulgence. When fae guests arrive bearing gifts and temptation, the witch Zoey finds herself caught between ritual obligation and forbidden desire. Yule’s promise of rebirth comes wrapped in seduction and shadow.

Bloody Valentine’s — Imbolc
As winter begins to crack, Imbolc stirs blood, longing, and renewal on the eve of Valentine’s Day. A ritual murder pulls Zoey, Lucas, and Belladonna into a night of sacrifice and reckoning under the blood moon—forcing Lucas to face a nightmare from his past.

Cassandra’s Seduction — Beltane
Caught between witches, a family curse, and a ghost with sinister desires, Cassie’s clairvoyant gift may be the mansion’s salvation—or the very thing that damns her.

CONTENT WARNING
🌶🌶🌶🌶
CARNAL SANCTUARY: NIGHT EMBRACE contains high-heat paranormal romance, ritual violence, blood magic, explicit sexual content in select stories, and morally gray supernatural characters. While some short reads lean more atmospheric or plot-driven, others include graphic sexual encounters. These stories feature vampires, werewolves, witches, fae, incubi, and immortals. Reader discretion advised.

CONTINUITY NOTE
These stories take place across the Carnal Sanctuary timeline. Each story is designed to be read as a standalone, but together they deepen the lore, characters, and mythos of the Carnal Sanctuary world. Night Embrace can be enjoyed as a seasonal entry point for new readers or as supplemental reading for longtime fans.

Night Embrace is a companion collection set alongside the main Carnal Sanctuary novels. These seasonal short reads span multiple points in the timeline and spotlight fan-favorite characters, side stories, and pivotal moments that unfold between the larger arcs. The collection can be read at any time, but it pairs especially well after Books 1–3 or the Immortal Desires omnibus.
