A Victorian-era vampire living in the modern world, Emigh
Bennett’s favorite activity is watching people from the window of her little
bookshop. When she spots a woman nearly killed on the street outside her shop,
she rushes to her rescue, and she meets Anise.
The proprietress of a little home business called
“Everything Anise”, Anise crafts one of a kind perfumes all with a touch of her
namesake spice, all with the power to intoxicate and delight the senses. She is
smart, sexy, beautiful, and happens to be a little bit different.
Although Anise is everything Emigh could ever ask for and
more, she can’t quite figure her out. Anise possesses the duality of an
innocent angel and a vivacious vixen. Even if Emigh can ever peel away the
multi layers of Anise to uncover the truth beneath, what will happen when she
finally reveals the truth about herself?
For the first time in…hell, it must be years, Emigh’s life
felt bright and vibrant. Meeting Anise was the dawning of a new day. The lift
she needed for so long.
She dared to pick up the phone that first night and call
Anise. To hear that special kind of something in her voice as they spoke. To
talk about everything and anything…well, not everything. She didn’t broach the
subject of her sexuality – well, maybe not hers, she knew that, but Anise’s. As
a matter of fact, Anise spoke of neither male nor female friends.
Anise spoke of her passion for crafting corsets and perfume.
She loved to bake. She was estranged from her family. They didn’t understand
she didn’t want to work a boring nine-to-five job, train into the city, train
home again at night, exhausted. They thought she was wasting her life away, and
because she wouldn’t come around to their strict way of thinking and living,
she walked away from them.
Emigh admired her spunk and dedication. Smart, sweet,
articulate, and she made her laugh, which was a tough thing to do. Anise was
definitely a rare breed of woman.
But how long could it last?
She couldn’t tell Anise she was a vampire, let alone that
she would never die.
Vampire.
How she hated the word! But until someone came up with
something new, she was stuck with it.
Of course, Anise would never believe her. No one did. Every
once in a while, some beautiful woman would come along, and their connection
would be instantaneous…sizzling. Emigh would find herself whispering the truth
to her beloved. Inevitably, the not-so-twin-flame would beat a hasty retreat,
believing Emigh was crazy, or a liar…or both.
Crazy and liar are never good things in a relationship.

Susan has a Masters in English literature from UCLA and once
toiled as an executive for a Fortune 500 company. Now she lives at the beach in
Southern California with her husband, Harry, a writer of supernatural
thrillers, and two very active Belgian Sheepdogs, who like to help her write by
putting their chins on the keyboarddddddddddddddddddddddd.
If you want to live, you must let go
of the past...
Twenty-eight-year-old psychologist, Alisha Dimarchi, is
abducted by an obsessed client and imprisoned in his Pakistani compound for
over two years. Forced to change her name and live as his second wife, her life
is filled with trauma and heartbreak. Thrust into a world of violence and
oppression, Ally must fight not only to keep herself alive but to protect the
lives of the people she now considers family. At night, she retreats into her
memories of the only man she has ever loved—a man she believes no longer loves
her.
Thirty-four-year-old handsome surgeon, David Dimarchi, has
spent the last two years mourning the disappearance of his wife. After a
painful and isolated existence, he begins the process of healing. It is then he
is visited by a stranger, who informs him that Ally is very much alive and
needs his help. In a desperate attempt to save her, David enlists the help of a
Delta Force Operative. Together they find themselves in the center of more than
just a rescue mission. Will he be able to reach her in time, and if he does,
will she still want him?
Warning: This
story contains elements some readers may find offensive: violence, rape,
death.
The slow drip of a leaky faucet disrupted Ally’s otherwise
quiet slumber.
“Ally.” The distant sound of David’s
voice soothed her, enveloping her in a warm blanket of safety.
A smile tugged at her lips. Soon he’d crawl into bed and
wrap his limbs around hers, cocooning her with his love.
Instead of the heat she anticipated, something coarse
scraped against her cheek. When she tried to swat it away, her arms refused to
comply.
“Baby, wake up.” Her husband’s echoed
tone became louder, rougher. “You need to wake up.”
The urgency in it made her eyelids flutter, pulling her
further away from the dark claws of sleep.
Like a silent movie, foggy images of a dimly lit parking lot
invaded her dreams. A woman, tall and lean, walked the deserted space alone.
With each clip of her heels against the paved road, the haze cleared a little
more. Ally’s heart raced when the woman’s features came into view. Long, curly,
black hair, dark brown eyes, tanned complexion.
It was her.
Two sets of hands emerged from the shadows, dragging her
into the woods. The taller of the two men covered the woman’s mouth, muting her
screams as she wrestled to break free, until the other one slammed a brick into
the base of her skull, plunging her into darkness.
This must be a dream.
Rays of light pierced the darkness as Ally’s heavy eyelids
fought to open. When she shifted, instead of soft sateen sheets, her cheek
scraped against a cold, hard surface.
“Alisha? Can you hear me?” This voice wasn’t David’s. It
sounded thick, heavy with an accent and oddly familiar. So familiar, she
shivered.

enough? Can they overcome Daniah’s missing presence, or will this be what evil
needs to win, once and for all? The ultimate fight between good and evil will
clash in this final chapter of the Angel Crest Trilogy.
I grin against her sudden gasp, and I suck her tongue into
my mouth as I pump my finger in and out, making her body buck between my body
and the wall behind her. Her thighs are gripping my hips, and her fingers claw
at my back. I feel powerful as my fingers slide through her moisture easily.
“I need to touch you, I need to feel you.” The need in her
voice is obvious as she pants, I reach down and grasp her ass as I pull my
fingers out to torment her, flicking her nub, knowing how hot she is getting, I
need to please her.
“Oh!” Cord’s body tenses, but I pull back, I need her with
me, and I need her mindless with passion.
Her eyes, glazed and heavy lidded, meet mine, and I grin as
I turn us and shut the door we were standing next to, she reaches over and
locks it. I move us over to a table and lean forward so her back makes contact.
She wastes no time pulling my shirt off and is working on my pants before I
have either of my shoes kicked off. I unfasten her shorts and yank them down,
as she pulls on my pants. I step back and drop my jeans, stepping out of them,
and pull Cord to the edge of the table. With no hesitation, I slide into her,
her back arches and I have to taste her again. I lean forward and lick her
nipple, watching as it beads. Cord reaches around me, grabbing my ass and
pulling me closer.
“Make love to me. Now.” Her gaze is direct and intense, and
the love I have for her swamps me.
I lean forward and kiss her while I start pumping in and out
of her, I reach down and finger her nub. Hearing her muffled plea for more. I
lean back and pull her thighs up so I can thrust forward harder, her husky
moans spurring me on to move faster.
“You are beautiful.” She is, looking at her gorgeous body
splayed before me, gripping my cock, making my heart beat hard, I can’t help
but voice the truth.
Her moan is thanks enough, and I feel her squeeze around my
cock. I pump fast, then reach around and use my thumb to press and rub her nub.
Her body bows even more as I feel her orgasm squeeze my cock harder and her
juices drench me, and I can’t hold back any more as my whole body tenses. I
feel the sweetest relief pour through me. Panting, I lean forward and rest my
forehead against hers.
“I love you so much,” I whisper against her lips, and she smiles
sleepily.
