Sneak Peek Sunday ~ BETRAYED

Welcome to this Sunday's Sneak Peek where I share six paragraphs of my debut release from Ellora's Cave, Betrayed.

A Druid priestess is captured and enslaved to a Roman tribune who must decide whether his loyalty lies with his heritage or the woman he suspects may be Rome's deadliest enemy...

 

 

 

Nimue is recovering from having an arrow removed from her shoulder, and is still under the influence of the pain killing opium. Tacitus is doing his best to resist her charms :-)

 

Languidly she brushed her fingers over the uncompromising line of his jaw. He was rough, and chafed her skin. Entranced, she rubbed her hand along his jaw again, and again the roughness caused tingles of desire to dance through her blood.

“Why not?” If only she could see his face properly. From recollection, his face was worth looking at. She was sure his body was too.

“Because I’m on duty.” For a fleeting moment, he glanced down at her, and the blatant lust glowing in his eyes caused raw need to bloom deep between her thighs.

Her lips parted, but it didn’t help her deprived lungs because every jagged breath held a subtle hint of foreign spices that fogged her reason and heightened her desire. Tendrils of fire wove through her blood, curled around her nipples, flickered with sensuous intent through her quivering sheath. He would not chose duty above her when she craved for his touch on her burning skin. When she ached to be filled by his tongue and his cock.

The image pounded against her temples and again she moaned. She imagined him spreading her thighs and impaling his length inside her wet folds. If he did not take her soon she would shatter from unfulfilled need.

“Are you in pain?” Once again he was looking straight ahead She turned her wrist and dug her nails into his face, and satisfaction spiked when once again his gaze clashed with hers.

 

In 51 A.D., Druid priestess Nimue is injured and enslaved by the hated Roman Legions. Even though she is drawn to her captor, she’s determined to escape and complete her mission for the Briton king and her duty to Arianrhod, the goddess she is bound to.

The tough Roman warrior who captures her is far from the brutal barbarian she expects. His touch inflames her desires and passion burns between them. Though Nimue does not accept her enslavement, her heart surrenders to her enemy. When Arianrhod appears to her in the form of an owl, Nimue knows the union is blessed.

Roman warrior Tacitus is enchanted by the fiery beauty who shows no fear and challenges him at every turn. Though enslaving her goes against his heart, he’s determined to make her his. No woman has ever heated his blood as she does. But when he discovers her true nature as one who actually communes with the gods, his loyalties are torn between his heritage and a woman who could destroy everything he’s ever believed in.

Hot Warriors, Vampires & Sizzling Sex

The last few months have been hectic writing wise, and I thought I'd just give a quick update on what I've been up to.

At the end of February I handed in Tainted, the fourth book set in my Roman/Druid world. I should be getting revisions on that in the next couple of months. I've also filled in the cover art form and will be sending that off shortly.

At the beginning of last week I received edits on Bloodlust Denied, my dark Regency romance with a vampire duke, and sent them back at the weekend. Thankfully my editor loved them so this book has now been passed up the chain and we should be getting a release date soon. I'll keep you posted!

Her Savage Scot, the first book in my Highland Warrior Chronicles, is also with my editor and she hopes to get to this one within the next few months. I've already sent the cover art form off for this and can't wait to see what Ellora's Cave come up with. A hot sexy Highland Warrior I hope!!

A few days ago I was over at the Cafe at All Romance E-books having a chat about how some heroes just won't take no for an answer, and refuse to leave until their story has been told. And don't forget there's only three more days until the 50% rebate on all EC books at ARe finishes!

Horny Hump Day ~ Touch of the Demon

Welcome to this week's Horny Hump Day! Today I'm sharing three sentences from my erotic paranormal romance, Touch of the Demon. 

Dark angel Rafe has found the woman he was sent back in time to destroy, but thinks he can get away with a quick bit of nooky before doing the deed :-) Celeste, however, is far from the helpless human he imagines and has her own agenda:

She took his nipple between her teeth and heard his shocked groan as he pressed her head more securely against his chest. Ah, great Goddess, she would make him more than groan. She would make him regret accepting this mission, for setting foot on Earth, and thinking he could erase her destiny.

iTunes ~ Diesel ~ Nook

Bad ass dark angel Rafe travels back in time to destroy the woman who is fated to bring untold chaos to the cosmos. Instead he finds Celeste, a child of the Earth Goddess, who is sworn to protect the one Rafe seeks. 

He mistakes her for his quarry, but an irresistible attraction prevents him from taking her soul. And although Celeste holds the one weapon capable of banishing Rafe from Earth forever, she’s unable to deny the overwhelming desire to possess this creature from hell.

 They come together in a frenzy of passion, each believing they are changing destiny by their actions. But when the Earth Goddess appears they discover her plans are more far reaching than either had imagined.

Sneak Peek Sunday ~ TOUCH OF THE DEMON

Welcome to this Sunday's Sneak Peek where I share six paragraphs of my short erotic paranormal romance, Touch of the Demon. I hope you enjoy Rafe and Celeste!

Rafe has been sent back in time to neutralize a threat to the future. When he meets his mark, Celeste, instead of carrying out his orders he falls under her seductive spell. This is a snippet from the scene soon after they meet:

“You don’t know how to listen.” But she turned her head slightly, so his palm grazed against her jaw. He drew in a sharp breath and satisfaction sliced through her. He wasn’t immune to her, any more than she was to him.

It meant nothing. Could lead nowhere but hell. And yet she still couldn’t draw back.

“Why don’t you try me?” His thigh pressed against hers, hot and unyielding. She refused to retreat, instead returning the pressure and hot darts of lust pierced deep within her womb.

“I wouldn’t lower myself.” She flattened her hand against his chest to push him away. His heart beat beneath her fingers and, instead of repelling him, she pressed against the cool linen of his shirt as the heat of his body warmed the fabric.

His fingers caressed her face then speared through her hair. She gasped in shock as her head jerked back.

“You don’t have to beg.” His voice was hoarse, his dark eyes glowing with lust. Instead of terrifying, the vision inflamed. “You only need to ask.”

Horny Hump Day ~ FORETASTE OF FOREVER

Welcome to Horny Hump Day! Today I'm sharing three sentences from my short erotic paranormal romance, Foretaste of Forever. The hero, Ben, knows he must leave the heroine in order to save her. But it's just too hard :-)

Gods, yes, he wanted it fast and raw and to hell with the rest of the world. But he wanted Elyesha now and forever, and the only way to keep her was to be inside her. To prolong the moment for all eternity and he knew all he wanted was impossible.

 Blurb:

Powerful witch Elyesha finally finds the only man she’s ever loved, the man who deserted her countless years before. But Ben is torn between desire and despair when Elyesha, his only love, discovers his retreat. He abandoned her to save her but how can he resist her seductive embrace when she offers him everything his shattered soul craves?

He knows what she wants. But the price is too high. He’ll take what she offers for one last night – but as their erotic encounter unfolds so too does the devastating truth.

Sneak Peek Sunday ~ FORETASTE OF FOREVER

For the Historical Novelists Four Day Book Fair please scroll down to the next post!

Welcome to this Sunday's Sneak Peek where I share six paragraphs of my short erotic paranormal romance, Foretaste of Forever.

He hauled her to her feet. “And now it’s your turn to entertain me.” There was no hint of reluctance in his eyes now. Only love. For her. She wrapped the knowledge around her heart and knew it wouldn’t be long before Ben made the final commitment to her.

* * *  

Ben allowed Elyesha to pull free from his grasp and, as she flung back her head, her midnight black hair brushed the stone floor. He ached to bury his face in that silken cloud, tangle his fingers through the wild curls, and salve his corrupt heart in the heat of her embrace.

Instead he remained perfectly still and watched her sensuously gyrate to a rhythm only she could hear. Slowly she peeled the calf length summer dress from her body and desire stabbed through every atom.

She was wearing a black lace corset threaded with scarlet ribbon, a scandalous piece of lingerie that enhanced the curve of her hips, the feminine dip of her waist, and her sinfully tempting breasts.

Hands on hips, she struck a seductive pose. “Do you like what you see, my lord?”

He raised one hand. “Come here.” He barely recognized his voice. When she didn’t immediately obey, he made an imperial gesture of haste and Elyesha smiled, as if his aristocratic hauteur pleased her.

Powerful witch Elyesha finally finds the only man she’s ever loved, the man who deserted her countless years before. But Ben is torn between desire and despair when Elyesha, his only love, discovers his retreat. He abandoned her to save her but how can he resist her seductive embrace when she offers him everything his shattered soul craves?

He knows what she wants. But the price is too high. He’ll take what she offers for one last night – but as their erotic encounter unfolds so too does the devastating truth.

Historical Book Fair Extravaganza!

Welcome to my very first Historical Novelists' 4 Day Book Fair!

I'm an ex-pat Brit now living in sunny Western Australia, and the third book set in my Roman/Druid world, BETRAYED, has just hit the cyber shelves :-)

My historical romances set during the first century have strong heroines who are struggling against all the odds to preserve their way of life so their beliefs don’t vanish into the mists of time, lost forever to future generations. They are about ancient goddesses who will do anything to ensure their names linger on in the minds of their children. And most of all, they are about how love can conquer anything.

In 51 A.D., Druid priestess Nimue is injured and enslaved by the hated Roman Legions. Even though she is drawn to her captor, she’s determined to escape and complete her mission for the Briton king and her duty to Arianrhod, the goddess she is bound to.

The tough Roman warrior who captures her is far from the brutal barbarian she expects. His touch inflames her desires and passion burns between them. Though Nimue does not accept her enslavement, her heart surrenders to her enemy. When Arianrhod appears to her in the form of an owl, Nimue knows the union is blessed.

Roman warrior Tacitus is enchanted by the fiery beauty who shows no fear and challenges him at every turn. Though enslaving her goes against his heart, he’s determined to make her his. No woman has ever heated his blood as she does. But when he discovers her true nature as one who actually communes with the gods, his loyalties are torn between his heritage and a woman who could destroy everything he’s ever believed in.

Happy Sunday! welcome to my very first Sneak Peek Sunday :-)

This snippet is from my debut release with Ellora's Cave, Betrayed. 

Enjoy!

Lucius Marius Tacitus saw the arrow impale the water sprite, saw her enchanting green eyes widen in shock, but before he managed to leap from his horse, she tumbled to the ground.

White fury lanced through his chest as he sheathed his sword and knelt by her side. She still breathed. But she was not conscious.

“Sir, are you harmed?” The mounted auxiliary rode to his side, his bow in his hand. Tacitus gave him a scathing glare.

“Harmed?” Derision dripped from the word. “By the hand of a girl?”

The foreign auxiliary glanced at the fallen Celt. “She’d drawn her dagger. I thought her about to attack you.”

Tacitus's fist clenched. By the gods, he'd string that Gallian auxiliary up by his balls if this Celt died from her injuries.

Allegiance Sworn ~ Kylie Griffin

Huge congratulations to my good friend, Kylie Griffin, whose third book in her awesome Light Blade series, Allegiance Sworn, is out today!

ALLEGIANCE SWORN
(Book #3 of the Light Blade series)
 

There is no mercy in the demon realm. No escape. In this place of desperation and conflict, anyone who is not purebred is virtually powerless. Until a demon leader seeks to unify the races…

With the alliance of the humans and the half-blood Na’Chi forged, the demon Na’Reish prepare for war by seizing human blood-slaves. Captured during a rescue mission-gone-wrong, Light Blade warrior Arek Barial finds himself claimed by a Na’Reishi female who offers him an unexpected choice.

Raised in the elite ranks of a society she abhors, Imhara Kaal lives a dangerous double life as a Na’Reish Clan-leader and an advocate for a caste-free life that honors the Old Ways. Openly rebelling against the Na’Reish would mean her death, unless she can find an emissary willing to present her petition to the human Blade council.

But Arek isn’t about to blindly follow a demon—despite the intense attraction growing between them. And while hatred for the Na’Reish is all he has ever known, Arek must learn to trust Imhara, or risk the destruction of all three races…
