This week's theme is all about how the romance begins.
Readers, please visit us at

more from our authors besides Saturday’s snippets. We’d love to have each and every
one of you there as we’re starting new things this month with fun and prizes
along the way.
Twenty-four hours ago,
Brielle stood helpless as an intruder murdered her mother. Her struggle to stay
ahead of the psychopathic stalker seeking her DNA and birthright necessitates she
flee her glass and concrete jungle.
Tiago, an immortal challenged with protecting
all within his domain, faces a genius adversary who has created a genetically-specific
bacteria and needs only the crystal worn by a foreigner to wreak havoc on the
world.
Two strangers must learn
to trust and work together in order to save the ones they love.
An exciting blend of
action, adventure, and romance between a man not looking for love and a woman
trying to survive.
“Brielle. My name
is Brielle.” She wanted to hear him say her name in that low and husky voice
while his gaze pulled all the heat from within to spread across her skin.
“Brielle, I will
heal you, then we will talk.” With a slow, methodical precision, he covered
each wound until healed.
Talk? Definitely
not on her mind. Oh God. Was he going to send her away again? Gazing down,
anywhere but at his face, hid her brimming eyes from his probing gaze.
“Brielle?”
When her gaze met his, it immediately dropped
to his mouth, a safer zone, or so she'd thought. His lips, sculpted for
kissing, appeared firm with a twist of irony. She knew this without touching
them. Like his words, they'd be gentle while conveying more than his gaze or
touch could express. She’d kissed men before, but the experience always left
her feeling neutral, like stepping into a spa to find it lukewarm.
The slow, sexy
smile that kicked one corner of his mouth up revealed even, white teeth,
perfect and straight. What would they feel like nibbling on her flesh? “How did
you know I was in trouble, and how did you know where to find me?” Her eyelids
grew heavy when he reached up to cup her face. The imposing bulk of him drowned
her in a wash of longing to explore every fine detail of his rough-hewn form.
Like a rabbit caught in a snare, she held perfectly still, far too aware that
he too was a predator, one with magical teeth.
“We have a lot to
discuss. For now, you will sleep.”
Sleep? No way! Love the lukewarm spa line. Thanks for sharing.
