Goodreads

Caressed by the Edge of Darkness -Description:
Hardened by centuries of torture, former blood slave, Gabriel Erhard, is driven by an insatiable need to destroy his enemies. Violence darkens his battered soul, leaving no place for mercy in his world. Gabriel’s only desire is vengeance—until he finds her.
Seized by vampires, bound as a slave, and placed on the auction block, Jordan Culver is instantly entranced by the dangerous male who claims her. Jordan’s new captor vows to set her free, but his haunted gaze burns with savage desire and his wicked kiss makes her crave his touch and...complete surrender.
While Gabriel battles his enemies, he will break every sacred law to achieve his ultimate goal—uniting the Outcast Society and creating a new vampire Clan. But the distracting human with mesmerizing violet eyes jeopardizes his plans. With very soft whisper she evokes his tormented memories, testing his sanity and challenging his every boundary. Can Jordan help him overcome the miseries of his past and find a future with her?

Excerpt

~ Gabriel knelt before the line of Clan Chieftains. His fist firmly pressed over his heart, his head hung low. The chill of the cell’s stone floor seeped into his bones. Upon his arrival to the Validus strong hold high in the Carpathian Mountains, he and Gannon had been escorted to the underground dungeon. Gabriel had loudly, yet politely, demanded to speak with the Rulers. Apparently, he and Gannon weren’t the only unwanted, untrusted guests in residents. He had overheard some of the guards speaking of Red Order Counsel members who recently lost their leader and were now seeking peace with the vampires. Gabriel rolled his eyes. Keep dreaming.
Dimitri Arsov, the last remaining pure blood of the vampire line, broke ranks and came to stand before him. Gabriel kept his gaze directed at the floor, he didn’t even glance towards the shinning leather tips of Dimitri shoes.
“The Clans were established by my fellow original vampires. Their fledglings all united by blood,” Dimitri stated, his authoritative voice echoed through the dungeon.
Gabriel remained silent. He may be an Outcast, but he knew the laws. His Mistress had instructed him well. Unless he was granted permission to speak or asked a direct question, he would hold his tongue. Gannon followed his lead, like always.

Teaser Tuesday

Release Date TBR

Hi All!

I finally was able to spend some time writing. So today, I'd like share a  teaser from my upcoming release, Caressed by the Edge of Darkness (Rulers of Darkness #5).

~ The storm howled, splintering the calm night. Wind whipped, snapping through the trees. The brilliant rays of the moon cast an enchanting glow over the frozen landscape.

Gabriel stood still in the shadows of the forest. His gaze sharp, he studied his surroundings. A frozen lake separated him from his enemies, his prey. Death whispered encouragements in his ear, exciting his demon. Unfortunately, killing wasn’t on the agenda for the evening ─ but, plans could always change. ~

Pumpkin Patch/Carving

My husband and I decided to carve pumpkins this year. Neither of us had been to a pumpkin patch/carnival or carved pumpkins since we were children. We don't have any littles of our own just yet, but, what the heck? Let's pumpkin it up!!! 
We hit up the pumpkin patch and selected our canvases. Then free-handed our designs while enjoying some pumpkin ale and watching football. Naturally, we made it into a competition and I grudgingly admit my husband’s pumpkin rocks. My moon is a little too big :(   But the cat sis cute.
