Excerpt
Cassi knew it was the brandy talking, but when would
she have a Hollywood actor captive in a cabin again? He put his glass down and
raised one eyebrow as he peered at her. Then he patted the couch in front of
him. Okay, she had drunk two big brandies, but what was he suggesting here?
He placed a finger under her chin and lifted it so she
gazed in his eyes. She gulped. He didn’t need to say anything. She would kiss
him anyway. All he needed to do was ask.
“When you left that day, you took part of me with you.
I’ve been looking around and meeting other people and other women trying to
find it. I was a fool to let you go then. Now you’re here, Cassi, I’m not going
to let you go without telling you how much I care.”
His face was close as his palm cupped her cheek. Her
mouth hung open and she felt a strong ache between her legs showing the need
for physical contact she had not received for so long. She could feel his
breath on her lips. His eyes connected with hers and then moved down to her
lips. He ran his thumb along her lower lip and she moved forward. She knew this
wasn’t real and something he had rehearsed, but didn’t care. He only had to say
the word and she would have sex with him all night long. He didn’t say anything
more, but their lips almost touched. Then he moved away.
Breathe.
“It’s a scene from our next episode. It doesn’t turn
out well as she’s a vampire and sells me out. I get back at her through some
crazy ritual, though. Sorry I took the advantage by adding your name.”
Declan was still holding his palm against her cheek
and she didn’t want him to move away.
“You’re good.” He was more than good as she was putty
in his hands right now.

Bio
I live in Adelaide, Australia with my husband, one cat, two dogs and a snake. I have a motorbike that I would like to ride more than I do and I love walking at the beach and listening to the waves. I've always loved reading all forms of fiction from high fantasy and paranormal to contemporary and decided the stories in my head needed to be written down. It was either that or start on medication. Unlike many, I didn’t know I wanted to be a writer until a few years back. I started off doing a degree in drama but soon realized my love was in writing, though there is a play lurking somewhere on my computer. My day job is as a nurse in the operating room. I believe romance can be fun to read and write but it’s exciting to spice it up with the uncertainty that comes with suspense where the rules can be broken.
