~ “As you can see, I am not like other vampires, I am the monster that demons fear. And,” his eyes slowly roamed over her body, she gasped as if he had physically caressed her, “I want you. I want to drink you to the quick as I claim your body. I want to feel your heart slow beneath my lips as I come deep within you.”

Eva closed her eyes as his words settled over her. How could she find what he was saying sexy? God, she had to be twisted. After all the time living among her father’s pack, her mind must have snapped. He was describing how he wanted to kill her and she was getting hot?

“My grip on reality is fragile, my control razor thin.”

The harshness of his voice faltered every so slightly and Eva snapped her eyes open.

Anguish. Despair. Loneliness. Hate. It was plan to see the emotions that flickered to life within his red eyes. He spoke of being a monster, but all she saw was a tortured man. She did not doubt what he said was true, yet, as she stood, bewitched by his glowing red eyes, she knew evil was not his true nature.

Slowly, she raised a hand, cautiously reaching out to him. She expected him to growl at her, to slap her hand away or vanish. Instead, he stood firm as a marble statue. His hellish gaze fixed on her.

Comfort. Something within her cried out to comfort this vampire.

He admitted he wants to kill me.

Eva snapped her hand back. Preparing to scream as loud as she could. Taking in a large gulp of air, she prayed that Falcon would find her. Rescue her from—

“No,” his whisper was barely audible. “Touch. Me.” She had not seen him move, but now, he towered over her. “Please.” His eyes narrowed as if willing her to reach out to him. “Please, Eva, I need you touch me.”

Reading Challenge Update

Hi everyone!

With the year flying by, I've been doing my best to meet my reading goal for 2019. I'm at 66% and my current read is:

The Duchess Deal (Girl Meets Duke #1)

by Tessa Dare

When girl meets Duke, their marriage breaks all the rules…

Since his return from war, the Duke of Ashbury’s to-do list has been short and anything but sweet: brooding, glowering, menacing London ne’er-do-wells by night. Now there’s a new item on the list. He needs an heir—which means he needs a wife. When Emma Gladstone, a vicar’s daughter turned seamstress, appears in his library wearing a wedding gown, he decides on the spot that she’ll do.

His terms are simple:
- They will be husband and wife by night only.
- No lights, no kissing.
- No questions about his battle scars.
- Last, and most importantly… Once she’s pregnant with his heir, they need never share a bed again.

But Emma is no pushover. She has a few rules of her own:
- They will have dinner together every evening.
- With conversation.
- And unlimited teasing.
- Last, and most importantly… Once she’s seen the man beneath the scars, he can’t stop her from falling in love…

Teaser Tuesdays

Today's teaser is from  Caressed by Shadows (Rulers of Darkness #4).

~ Rain ran like rivulets down his face, the droplets caught on his lashes like tiny crystals, a delicate contrast to the harsh gun metal gray of his eyes.

Falcon studied the group of Red Order Hunters that gathered in the ally below. Shadows clung to him, concealing him with their darkness. His prey's laughter sailed on the wind, their merriment grating his nerves. Falcon's hand tightened about the grip of his dagger, his knuckles turned white. 

Poor bastards, they were peacefully oblivious to the specter of death that stalked them. ~  

Description

Black Knight, Falcon Kenwrec is powerful, relentless, and fiercely loyal, his only allegiance – to his king. But he is torn between duty and desire when the war between the vampire clans and the Red Order hunters escalates and the enemy captures the one woman he longs to claim as his own, Sonya Rebane, Queen of the Voidukas Clan. Falcon will risk everything to save her, even if it means forsaking his king.

After weeks of imprisonment, Sonya is stunned when the chivalrous knight that she has secretly loved from afar appears outside her cell. As they fight and struggle to elude their enemies, they must battle their overwhelming attraction for each other and their love that is forbidden.

As every perilous moment draws them closer together, every smoldering kiss drives them to the brink of a passionate destruction. Will they be able to resist temptation? Or will their love be their ruin?

~“My mate, so lovely...” Gabriel leaned back and captured her gaze. “I’ll give you everything, but you
must do something for me.”
Shifting her hips, she sought more pressure. With a whimper she sighed, “Anything.”
His head dipped down and he racked his tongue over one exquisite, pearled nipple. “I want you to scream my name again and again until we both can hear nothing else. Until the sound is engraved in my memory, in my soul.” He nipped at the swell of her breast. “Can you do that for me, Jordan?”
She swallowed hard. “Y-yes.”
“Good. Now, let me hear you.”~

Project / Works in Progress Update

I've been so busy an caught up in life lately. Thankfully, things should be settling down. I've been writing whenever I can have some exciting new projects on my desk including a at least 2 new series ideas and a few stand-aloans. Wicked Passion is on it's way - I apologize for the wait! - along with Fade to Night. I've also been working on revamping a book I wrote a few years back, The Darkest Light. I was originally planning on releasing it under a different name, but have since changed my mind. As for the next up in the Rulers of Darkness series, I've got some hard decision to make. Will this next installment be the last or should there be a spin off...Or, perhaps I should revisit each couple as their world changes...Jeez!!! What are your thoughts?

All in all, I've got a lot of work ahead of me and will carve out the time to do it. 

Reading Challenge Update

Happy Friday!

I'm happy to say I've already reached the 50% mark for this year's reading challenge. Just got to keep on keepin' on!

Up next: In Bed with the Devil (Scoundrels of St. James, #1) by Lorriane Heath

They call him the Devil Earl—a scoundrel and accused murderer who grew up on the violent London streets. A proper young lady risks more than her reputation when consorting with the roguishly handsome Lucian Langdon, but Lady Catherine Mabry believes she has no choice. To protect those she loves, she would do anything—even strike a bargain with the devil himself.

Lucian desires respectability and a wife above all else, but the woman of his choosing lacks the social graces to be accepted by the aristocracy. Catherine can help Lucian gain everything he wants. But what she asks for in exchange will put their very lives in jeopardy. When danger closes in, Catherine discovers a man of immense passion and he discovers a woman of immeasurable courage. As secrets from his dark past are revealed, Lucian begins to question everything he knows to be true, including the yearnings of his own heart.
