Blurb: Warrior vampire Garrick Labar
guards the secrets of the Guild. His comrade--vampire and sorcerer Ramon
Travere--enforces the uneasy alliance between mortals and immortals. When
Larissa Devine moves into town, both Garrick and Ramon are mesmerized and enraptured
by her. They crave to claim her as their crimson swan and lover. But a new
arrival is fair game and if they don’t claim her first, a band of renegades
will.
Larissa
finds a blistering-hot ménage with her protectors too intoxicating to resist.
The immortals can’t deny their sexual attraction for her and sense her blood
pulsing hot and furious when they’re close. Erotic desires thrust her into a
world of danger and seduction. When the renegade vampires attempt to destroy a
hundred years of peace, Larissa is caught in the crossfire. Eternal love and
carnal nights can be her future if she survives.
Excerpts
EXCERPT 1 (1200 words. Sex scene slightly
edited, toned down for blog posts)
“Anything
missing?” Garrick asked.
Larissa
shook her head then charged back downstairs. “Why would they just mess up the
place without stealing anything?” Her throat tightened. “It’ll take me hours to
straighten this up in time for opening tomorrow.” Tears filled her eyes.
“Kids,”
he said. “The door probably wasn’t closed tightly and the wind blew it open.
I’ll have Ramon take a look at it.”
“I
should still call the police. The store was vandalized.”
“Don’t.
I know the police chief. I’ll mention it to him tomorrow. If you call, you’ll
only have a bunch of cars out here and the gossip will spread all through town.
You don’t need that kind of publicity.” He started calling on his cell phone.
“Who
are you calling?” she asked.
“Ramon
and Jordan. I’m telling them to come over now to help straighten up. Between
the four of us, we’ll get your place in order.”
“But
it’s so late.” Her words cracked.
“They
won’t mind.” He hugged her. “You’ll see. We all work together here.”
His
embrace felt heavenly warm and safe, made her feel protected and a little
turned on. Heat rushed to her face, embarrassed by her physical response to his
touch. What was wrong with her? He was showing her kindness and she was getting
horny? She pulled away, avoiding his gaze. “Thank you, Garrick. I’ll get
started on the front display.”
Twenty
minutes later Ramon and Jordan entered the store. “Ramon Travere,” he said by
introduction, taking her hand and locking his gaze with hers with an obvious
flirtatious up-and-down once-over. Ramon was striking and hot. A few years
younger than she with long blond hair that fell past his shoulders. He wore
leather pants and boots and a black T-shirt with a bright-yellow smiley face
with the addition of devil’s horns and tail attached. Have a nice eternity was inscribed below.
If
Garrick was the mysterious and muscular predator, Ramon was the sleek and wild
rock star.
“Wow,
you weren’t kidding, Garrick,” Jordan exclaimed. “What a mess. Any idea who did
it?”
Garrick
shot Jordan a glance and her eyes widened. “Doesn’t matter. We’ll get
everything ready for you, Larissa. Thank you for hiring me. Garrick said you
needed the help.”
Garrick’s
expression revealed no clue as to who really arranged the employment. For a
college student, Larissa expected Jordan to be younger but she had to be in her
late twenties. Her blonde hair was fashioned in a perfect French braid. Her
clothes were casual but obviously pricy designer wear and usually far out of a
college student’s budget. There was no rich-girl-entitlement attitude, Larissa
knew plenty of them in her college. Jordan appeared to be a pleasant, smart and
polite young woman. “You’re welcome. I’m happy to have the help. I’ll start you
with a few hours and when business picks up, we can add more. How does that
sound?”
“Works
for me,” Jordan said. “Tell me where you want me to start.”
While
Larissa, Jordan and Garrick put the merchandise back in order, refolded and
reorganized the displays, Ramon fixed the lock on the front door. The shock and
fear of having her new store vandalized eased with the presence of the two men
and even Jordan cast an aura of positive energy. Everything would work out well
for her first day. The business would thrive.
“Finished,”
Ramon announced. “You have a new Schlage deadbolt lock. If anyone tries getting
in now, they’ll have to take down the door and frame with it. Want me to add
strobe lights and security cameras, Larissa? I can rig some kind of metallic
net to drop down and zap them.”
Larissa
laughed. “No, the new locks are fine. Thanks. Send me the bill.”
He
shook his head. “Garrick will take care of that.”
“That’s
not necessary.”
Ramon
walked up to her, took her hand in both of his and locked his gaze with hers.
“I left my card on your cash register. If you ever need anything, just call.”
His searing blue eyes had a mischievous glint and his lips twitched ever so slightly.
Larissa felt her stomach tingle as if she were going down the big dip of a
rollercoaster with her eyes closed and didn’t know if there was a bottom.
Great, now she had the hots for two men? That had never happened to her before.
She
tried counting back to when she last had a date. After four months she stopped
counting. It was too depressing. No wonder she was responding to all the hot
guys in New Hope. Maybe she should consider dating after her business got off
the ground. After the holidays.
“Thank
you, Ramon.” Her words came out in a breathy whisper. His name rolled off her
tongue. He continued to hold her hand and a wave of dizziness passed through
her. Closing her eyes, she hoped the sensation would pass. But then a flash of
detailed images drifted through her mind.
She
was in a large living room, a place she’d never seen before. Ramon stood naked
before her in front of a blazing fireplace, the flickering light dancing over
his body, reflecting over every cut and angle of his muscles. He was gorgeous
and aroused, his cock hard and thick. His eyes glowed with an otherworldly blue
glow. Holding out his hand to her, she stepped forward and noticed that she too
was naked. The heat of the fireplace warmed her skin. She didn’t know why she
wasn’t questioning the situation. She only knew it seemed right and couldn’t
resist.
Lie with me. Ramon’s words entered
her head but she didn’t see his mouth move.
Yes, she answered with her
own thoughts as she took his hand. Gently, he lifted her in his arms and laid
her on a thick fur on the floor. His body eased on top of her. Yes, this is so good.
Larissa. Garrick’s voice called
her from a distance. The light from the fireplace highlighted his face. He was
smiling despite the darkness in his eyes.
She
held out a hand to him, asking him to join them. He nodded and the next moment
he was naked and lying beside her too. Two men, amazing. “Garrick,” she
whispered as his mouth came down on hers at the same time Ramon plunged his
cock into her.
“Larissa!”
Garrick shouted. She blinked and saw him standing beside the door to the
storeroom.
Images
of the old house, the fireplace and Ramon and Garrick making love to her
vanished, yet her heart still raced. Her vagina continued to contract on empty
space and her nipples bore stiff points through her sweater. She glanced at
Ramon. Smiling mischievously, he stared at her through half-lidded eyes. “Are
you okay, Larissa? You look dazed.” His mouth twitched in a wicked and
mischievous grin.
“Yes,”
she breathed. “I’m fine.”
“Everything
looks in order in here,” Garrick said. “Please check on her tomorrow. Make sure
nothing is missing. You can go, Ramon.”
Ramon
straightened and nodded.
“Thanks
for your help,” Larissa said. Her heart continued to pound and her body was
still heated and aroused.
“My
pleasure.” He turned to Garrick. “Night, Garrick.”
“I’ll
be in touch,” he said. The moment they were alone, Garrick’s gaze swept over
her in a spine-melting look that made her nervous and horny. “You still seem
shaken. Don’t worry about the break-in.”
