Welcome to this week's My Sexy Saturday where the theme is My Sexy Boyfriend :-)
Today I'm sharing seven paragraphs of my sexy Regency paranormal romance, Bloodlust Denied. This is the scene in a ball, where the heroine Morana meets the hero, Alexius, for the first time after she ran from him three years ago.
“May I present His
Grace, the Duke of Havenshire.”
He bowed, and a shiver
raced along her spine as she recalled the last time he had bowed to her just
seconds after she’d demanded his soul. She forced a curtsey, her knees stiff,
thighs shaking and finally risked glancing up at him.
Vibrant green eyes
mocked her in a face so starkly beautiful her breath escaped in a shocked gasp.
The flickering lantern in the alley had revealed his strong jaw, his high
cheekbones and sensual lips, but had concealed the extent of his charismatic
allure that enfolded her like a living entity.
But his eyes. She stared into them,
mesmerized. In the dark alley, it had been impossible to discern their color
and yet she knew these eyes. They were as familiar to her as her own but that
was impossible. Madness.
He was speaking. She
struggled to clear her mind, to compose her senses. She resisted the urge to
press her hand against her face, just to check that her cheeks weren’t really
as hot as they felt.
“May I have the honor of this dance, Miss
Craven?” The quirk of his mouth was the only indication he found such formality
amusing. She flicked the tip of her tongue over her lips and didn’t miss the
way his eyes followed the movement.
She could refuse. Turn
and run. And knew she never would.
“A stunning tale of a love that transcends time” 5 Stars Top Read A Reader’s Review
Tired of the thin-blooded aristocrats in
1815 London, Alexius yearns for better sport. He is drawn to a
dark-haired seductress who shows no fear and refuses to obey his
commands. Entranced by such novelty, he denies his bloodlust and decides
to keep her to warm his bed.
Immortal vampire hunter Morana has never
mistaken her prey before, but the dark stranger mesmerizes her,
enticing her to forget everything but the dangerous pleasure she finds
in his arms.
Neither one can deny the pull of the
other, but there is something beyond the lust—a recognition neither can
put a name to. The past and present collide and unless they discover the
truth behind the lies, Death will triumph once more.
This book was previously published in 2013.
