"My price is your soul." BLOODLUST DENIED #vampire Regency Romance #99c for Limited Time Only

Take one cynical two thousand year old vampire, with hair of deepest midnight and glittering emerald eyes.

Add a seething thirst for vengeance and an insatiable craving to possess the elusive Morana.

Marinade with timeless secrets, cursed immortality and an ancient pact with Death.

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 with Ellora's Cave in 2013

Steamy Vampire Sexiness with BLOODLUST DENIED for #MySexySaturday

Welcome to this week's My Sexy Saturday!  Every week published and unpublished authors share 7 words, 7 sentences or 7 paragraphs from a work-in-progress or an already published book.

This week, it's all about the sexiness :-)

So I thought I'd share seven paragraphs from my erotic vampire Regency romance, Bloodlust Denied. I just found out this book has been filtered into the naughty corner by Amazon, so it seems Alexius and Morana have been invisible in searches :-(

Here's the cover - not too shocking I think!!!

And here are the seven paragraphs. Alexius and Morana have just met and neither can deny their shattering lust for the other :-)

He nibbled kisses along her throat, savoring the sensation of her fluttering pulse, the torture of feeling the rush of her blood beneath the flimsy barrier of flesh, and the evocative scent of ethereal rose gardens.

 

“I could take you now.” His hoarse whisper teased her earlobe. This woman aroused him to a degree he’d long since forgotten existed.

“Then take me now.” Her panted command arrowed straight to his throbbing cock, the sensation so acute for one incredulous second his fearsome control wavered.

No woman could exert such power over him. He would come only at his own command and no one else’s.

Still cradling her nape, he relinquished his hold on her arm and slid her gown over her shoulder. He wound a velvet ribbon around his fingers and tugged sharply. Her bodice gaped and he saw a tantalizing glimpse of erect nipple.

He cupped her breast, its satisfying weight filling his hand and in the wavering light, he could see the faint tracing of veins beneath the vulnerable skin.

So tempting. So why didn’t he simply slake his lust, fuck her and take her and end this agonizing scream of want that consumed every nerve he possessed?

Read Chapter One  

"An ancient vampire, Alexius has grown intolerably weary of the London ton. But the moment he sets eyes on Morana, he is captivated. Alexius is stunned by his undiminished desire for her defiant beauty - and startled to realize he has seen her smile before. A vampire hunter bent on retribution, Morana realizes after a single frenzied encounter with Alexius that her desire for revenge can never match her hunger for this arrogant, oddly familiar man."  Romantic Times BOOK Review 4 Stars

My Sexy Saturday ~ BLOODLUST DENIED ~ Enemies to Lovers

 

Welcome to my second My Sexy Saturday!  Every week published and unpublished authors share 7 words, 7 sentences or 7 paragraphs from a work-in-progress or an already published book.

Romantic Times BOOK Review 4 Stars

“The dangerous, addictive passion that singes the main characters is all-encompassing…”

Today I'm sharing 7 paragraphs from my vampire Regency romance, Bloodlust Denied. This is the scene where the hero Alexius and heroine Morana have just met, and passion ignites between them :-)

He slid his other hand around her neck. The cool silk of her hair caressed his knuckles, as the tips of his fingers caressed her tender flesh. He inhaled her fresh, clean scent, rose petals and raindrops and something else, something he had never before encountered. Something dark and dangerous and so violently arousing, it momentarily obliterated the overwhelming lure of her luscious blood.

She tilted her head, exposing the pale column of her throat to his ravening gaze. Without conscious thought he lowered his head, and drifted his mouth across her tempting skin. He could feel the frantic beat of her pulse vibrating against his lips, against the tip of his searching tongue. His fangs pierced his gums, aching with need and want and rising desperation, yet unaccountably he held back.

Echoes from another time whispered through his mind, but the time was now and the echoes were the seductive strains of the violin. Yet the music was inside his brain, inside his empty heart, twisting through his veins and pounding along his rigid shaft.

He nibbled kisses along her throat, savoring the sensation of her fluttering pulse, the torture of feeling the rush of her blood beneath the flimsy barrier of flesh, and the evocative scent of ethereal rose gardens.

“I could take you now.” His hoarse whisper teased her earlobe. This woman aroused him to a degree he’d long since forgotten existed.

“Then take me now.” Her panted command arrowed straight to his throbbing cock, the sensation so acute for one incredulous second his fearsome control wavered.

No woman could exert such power over him. He would come only at his own command and no one else’s.

Horny Hump Day ~ BLOODLUST DENIED

Welcome to this week's Horny Hump Day!

Today I'm sharing three sexy sentences from my upcoming dark vampire romance, Bloodlust Denied.

His lips closed over the puckered nipple, and her gasp of shock only served to increase the power of his lust. Gently he sucked on the firm flesh, when every throb of his engorged cock demanded he plunge his fangs into her. That he drink from her full, temping breast, suck her sweet blood from her, and satisfy this ravenous frenzy.

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.

Inside Scoop: Silk makes much softer shackles than iron, but is just as binding as our lovers engage in light BDSM sport with spanking and mild submission in this risqué Regency story.

A Stolen Season by Tamara Gill

Huge congratulations to fellow Historical Hearts author, Tamara Gill, on the release of her time-travel romance, A Stolen Season from Crimson Romance! I've been lucky enough to read an advance copy of this sexy Regency romance and I couldn't put it down!





Here's the blurb to whet your appetite:

Archaeologist Sarah Baxter had a clear directive: travel back to nineteenth century London to retrieve the measuring device she left behind. But her bungled attempt at thievery left an English Earl dead and his brother bent on revenge. Sarah must once again go back in time to find the device and return to her own time before their tragic mistake puts a noose around her neck. Unfortunately, the only way to get close to the device is to befriend the very man who wants her dead.

Eric the new Earl of Earnston was determined to catch the woman who killed his brother, but she’d disappeared without a trace. Twelve months on and there are still no clues to her whereabouts. As luck would have it, he finds a distraction. A new family have arrived in town and Miss Sarah Baxter is a delightful diversion among the stale debutantes in the ton.

Sarah knows it is madness to seduce the man who would want her dead should he know who she was, but the Earl is an alarmingly persistent gentleman. Can Sarah procure the device without her secret being revealed? And what will the Earl do when he finds out the woman he’s in love with is not the woman he thought he knew.
