Blurb:



Lana Healy agrees to a blind date with Conner after much nagging from a mutual friend. She knows that Conner is an artist, but what she was not aware of is the fact that he’s also a vampire. This ceases to be an issue for her when their chemistry together becomes undeniable.



Lana soon realises that his being a vampire is the least of her worries when it comes to her feelings for him. She can only hope that he feels the same way.



Excerpt:



I was surprised at how easy the conversation felt with him. We fell into an easy report littered with sarcastic remarks and light, humorous banter. His wit was quick and he matched me dig for dig. It was nice to talk to a guy who didn’t get offended at my mouth. I cuss like a sailor and pass judgement on everyone with no explanation or remorse. A lot of men can’t handle that. But Conner took it all in stride. It was refreshing.





We passed on dessert so the waiter left the bill on the table while we finished our beers.





“So was your opening a smashing success?”





“It was, thank you. This city is full of assholes who couldn’t wait to, what was it? Start blowing smoke up my ass. I practically sold out opening night.”





“Great, then you can get the check.” I smiled sweetly, winking at him over my glass.





“It would serve you right if I went to the bathroom and never came back,” he said. “You had to order the chicken and the foi gras.”





“I was hungry. If I’d known you were going to bogart the steak tips I would have gotten the lobster too.”





He dropped his credit card on top of the check with a dramatic sigh. I laughed. I had been laughing all evening. I couldn’t remember spending such an amusing evening with anyone other than Hugh Grant, Ben and Jerry.

“What are you thinking about right now?”





“I was just wondering if Amanda was right, if I could really bounce a quarter off your ass?” When in doubt, sarcasm works in a pinch.





“Well, I usually don’t pull out the kinky stuff until the third date. But I suppose I could make an exception if you promise to still respect me in the morning.”





“That would imply that I respect you now.”





He smiled, dropping his eyes to the table. He covered my hands with his own causing me to let out a breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. His hand was warm and his skin was just as soft as it looked. It made me wonder about other parts of him, which made me blush.





“What are you thinking about now?” His voice was teasing, making me realize he had looked up at me in time to see the redness creep over my cheeks.





“Nothing you want to hear about.”





“I doubt that very much.”





The waiter brought the check back, saving me yet again from my awkwardness.





“Come on.” Conner dropped the pen on the table before taking my hand, leading me out of the restaurant.





“Where are we going?”





“I want to show you my work.”





“Now?” It was going on ten pm and the gallery was long closed.





His hand tightened a little around mine, I squeezed back. I didn’t know what the hell I was doing, but I liked him touching me, I didn’t want him to stop. In fact, I found myself wanting him to touch me more, touch more of me.





As if reading my mind he pulled me against him and kissed me. It was soft, warm, and much too quick. My panties became instantly damp at the feel of him against me. I looked at him with wide eyes when he pulled back.





“There, now the first kiss is out of the way. We can both relax and have fun.” His logic was frustrating. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to hit him or make him kiss me again. Relaxing was now the least of the thoughts flying through my mind. “Let’s go see some art. If you can call it that.”





“Do you have a key?” I followed close behind him, one hand still in his and the other wrapped around his arm. His bicep was firm and flexed slightly as we walked.





“No, but all vampires are experts in breaking and entering. Greg won’t even know. Maybe while we’re there we can loot the safe and run away to Maui together.”





“Isn’t Maui a little…sunny for you?”





“Racist.”





“Maybe a little. But wouldn’t you rather run off to Transylvania or something?”





“You know, just because you’re cute doesn’t mean you can throw racial slurs at me. I’m going to call the ACLU and report you if you’re not careful.”





“Be still my heart.”

Sweet Dreams Excerpt *ADULT

The Blurb:



Veronica Duff is a vampire hunter with the U.S. Army and has hated vampires since a rogue pack of them killed her mother fourteen years ago. Now she's having erotic dreams about a sexy vampire who claims to be in love with her. She tries to convince herself he's not real and the dreams are harmless.



When a second vampire joins the dreams and threatens her life, she's forced to admit that they are both very real and very dangerous.



Now she must figure out how to get rid of both vampires, the one who craves her love and the one who wants her dead, before she loses her heart...or her life.





The Excerpt:



“Who are you?” I asked.



I was laying in my bed wrapped in Diego’s arms.



“I am whoever you need me to be my love.” He said.



“Don’t do that.” I said. “Don’t play coy. I mean it, who are you?” I asked again.



“I am just a vampire. Just a man, who was created to love you as you were meant to be loved.” He kissed the tip of my nose and smiled. “Who are you Veronica?”



“Me? I am just a vampire hunter. A woman who is losing her mind, and starting to kind of enjoy it.”



He rolled himself to lay on top of me and we stared into each other’s eyes.



“You look frightened.” He said



“There is a lot happening right now.” I said.



“Joaquin?” He asked.



“Him too.” I said, not surprised that he knew about that situation. He knew everything else about me and my life, why not this too.



“Are you frightened of me?” He asked.



“Not really. Not anymore. If you were going to hurt me you would have done it by now.” I said. I almost asked him about the leeches, but decided to let it go.



“What is it?” He asked. “There is something you are not telling me.”



“I don’t want to talk about it tonight. Soon, but not tonight. Please?” I asked.



“As my lady wishes. He said and kissed me. “What do you wish to do tonight?”



I smiled. “If I said I wanted to play Monopoly and eat cookies would you do it?” I asked.



“I do not know how to play Monopoly, but if you want to teach me, I will play any game you wish to play.”



“Any game?” I asked.



“I thought you wanted to play Monopoly.”



“Well, your choice of words has intrigued me. I like all kinds of games.”



“I know that you do. We have played many together. And hopefully we will play more. What do you wish to play tonight?”



“I would like to play the game that you pick.”



He raised an eyebrow at me. “I believe that is called cheating. You cannot make a suggestion then force the decision on someone else.”



“Sure I can, that’s not cheating.”



“It is cheating,” he said climbing off the bed. “And we punish cheaters here. You know better than to behave in such a fashion. You are a very naughty girl Veronica.”



I fought not to sigh. This was one of my favorite games.



He grabbed my wrist in a grip that was slightly painful and pulled me to my feet. I stared up into his eyes and tried to look nervous instead of excited. He released my arm and sat on the bed.



“Look at me,” he said.



I turned to face him and placed my hands behind my back.



“You are a very bad girl," he said. “And you know what we do to bad girls. Take off your clothes.”
