Praise for the writing of MaryJanice Davidson
In a recent review I wrote "laughs are great but they can only take you so far" and this book drives that
point home. Though the humor hooked me in, it was the combination of bold sensuality, the fun-filled plot
that kept me on my toes, the bit of painful family angst (a step-mother who steals your designer shoes
and a father who wants you to stay dead, can it get worse than that?) and the characters who leapt off
the page that made this book an exceptional read. If you desperately need a laugh and enjoy vampires
who gleefully misbehave, grab yourself a copy of Undead and Unwed.
-- Laurie Shallah, All About Romance
Undead and Unemployed is the hilarious second book in the Undead series by Ms. Davidson. Betsy is
just as irreverent as she was in Undead and Unwed and she's still determined to give Sinclair the cold
shoulder. This is one of the funniest, most satisfying series to come along lately. If you're fans of Sookie
Stackhouse and Anita Blake, don't miss BetsyTaylor . She rocks. An excellent read!
-- Lory Martin, The Best Reviews
Undead and Unwed and Undead and Unemployed are available from Berkely Sensations.
Fans of Ms. Davidson will like the wit displayed in The Royal Treatment, and especially how she ties in
a connection with modern-day personalities. The characters are wonderful, especially the young prince
and princesses. Their individuality is great, and threads this story together nicely. For a pleasurable read,
be sure to pick up your copy of The Royal Treatment.
-- Robin Taylor, In The Library Reviews
MaryJanice Davidson has a wicked sense of humor and it is showcased in this collection [Under Cover]
of three novellas that had me snickering, giggling and laughing out loud throughout the whole entire book.
-- Kathy Boswell, The Best Reviews
The Royal Treatment and Under Cover are available from Brava.

Dedication
For Karen, who reads everything I ask without complaint…in fact, she does a credible job of feigning
interest.
This little story, which has been lurking in the bottom of my heart for several years, would not have been
possible without the formation ofLooseId. And so I thank the entire lizard gang, not only for giving me a
chance to write about a mutant and a cyborg, but for giving voice to many other authors who might
otherwise not have been heard. Thank you..
Prologue
Spring, 2072
Minneapolis,Minnesota
Mitchell Hunter stood at his window and looked out at the city. His city. He owned one third of it. He
owned the very hotel he was living in. Top floor. The penthouse.
All his.
He took another swallow of his drink. The sixty-year-old cognac went down like liquid silk. He pulled
on the cuff of his shirt. It had been hand-tailored inLondon . He paced and then sat down on the bed.
The sheets were Egyptian cotton, over six thousand dollars per king-sized set, and were laundered
inFrance .
He had taken to tucking thousand-dollar bills into the cups of panhandlers. When the nearby church
solicited funds to replace their old stained-glass windows, he gave them a check so large the reverend
had to sit down. When one of his employees came to him to resign so she could care for her family while
her husband found work inAlaska , he gave her five years’ severance. She had to sit down, too.
He’d given a ridiculous amount of money to the Independent Party candidate for the presidential
election, more out of idle curiosity than anything else. Would the lady win? She had, but it hadn’t
mattered.
Nothing mattered. He had more money than he could spend in five lifetimes, and it didn’t mean a
damned thing.
He could see his reflection in the glass, a dark shadow. He looked perfectly normal, which was, of
course, a lie. He was as far from normal as you could get. He wasn’t even really a man.
Take away the plastic and the metal, and what’s left? One third of me. Is that a man?
No more than the metal and glass building he owned made a whole city.
He swallowed the last of the cognac, and crushed the cup--it had been carved out of a single piece of
Venutian rock--in one hand. He watched the powder drift to the carpet, and thought again about jumping
out the window. He was thirty stories up, but he was afraid it wouldn’t kill him. And what would They
do? Would They replace all of him with metal and plastic? Then what?
He’d volunteered the first time, because he thought he knew what he was getting into. Now he really did
know. And it wasn’t worth it, being stronger and faster and smarter than just about everyone on the
planet. It wasn’t worth it, because he was alone. There was no one else like him.
He was afraid to die. And he couldn’t bear to go on living.
Chapter One
“Say! Is this where Mitchell Hunter lives?”
“Lady, you can’t--”
“Because I just wanted to thank him for saving our church.”
“Lady--” The petite, gorgeous redhead had walked right up to Harry Gould, barely coming up to his
jaw. He’d been on the job a week--night security for HuntCorp--and so far it had been cake. Shooing
away reporters--seemed like they all wanted a piece of the boss. Nightly patrols. Escorting the
occasional bar drunk back to his (or her) room.
