Eight Sentence Sunday 4-7-13

Another fantastic Eight Sentence Sunday!

Here's a tasty tidbit from my soon to be released steamy regency romance called Wicked Designs (Samhain January 2014). Here the fiesty debutante Emily is being abducted from her coach by a wicked and all too sexy duke bent on revenge.

Emily whipped her head to the left, and pleaded with her mind to think, but the first man rounded the corner and pounced without warning, pinning her against the coach, his arms caging her in. His solid muscular body towered over her. Tension coiled in him, as though one move from her would trigger something dark and wild. Emily’s breath caught, and her heart pounded violently against her ribs. Heat lanced through her lower body, the sensation frightening. It blossomed, and something deep inside strummed to life, wavering with sensation.

The man was panting and angry, his gaze sharp and unyielding. The intensity of his eyes mesmerized her, but the second he blinked, the spell broke and she fought with every bit of strength she mustered.

Watch my blog and facebook page for details on the upcoming release of Wicked Designs to find out what happens to Emily and whether a certain duke will succeed in kidnapping her.

Eight Sentence Sunday 3/31/13

Here's an excerpt from Wicked Seduction, the second book in my League of Rogues Series. Here the heroine's younger sister Audrey and the hero's younger brother Linus are quarreling because Linus stole one of Audrey's spencer jackets and put it on a sheep from the pasture near the hero's estate.

“I swear Linus, you are the worst sort of man! How could you put my best spencer on a sheep?” Audrey’s voice was shrill.

“I thought the woolly little blighter looked a mite chilly. Since it is the season of giving Audrey, you should be thankful that I exercised my good will to ensure the sheep’s warmth.”

“The season of giving...I’ll give you something!” There was a muffled thump and a responding masculine growl.

“What in god’s name did you put in that reticule...rocks?”



I hope you enjoyed this excerpt! Stay tuned for future Sundays for more wicked excerpts!

The first book in the League of Rogue series Wicked Designs will be available from Samhain Publishing in January 2014.  

Eight Sentence Sunday!

 I'm joining in on the fun of Eight Sentence Sunday started by the Weekend Writing Warriors.

         Here's eight sentences from my book Wicked Seduction which will hopefully be available sometime next year. It is the sequel to my regency romance book Wicked Designs which will be available from Samhain January 2014.

         In Wicked Seduction- The notorious rogue Lucien meets his match with the quiet, intellectual, but passionate Horatia- the younger sister of his close friend. She's the one woman who is off-limits and the only one he's ever wanted. Here in this scene he's upset because he kissed Horatia and he's gone home to escape her temptation.

Lucien, anger still boiling deep in his body like a dormant volcano, was poised to throw the vase, this time at his meddlesome sibling.

Lawrence seemed to note his brother’s displeasure at his sudden appearance and realized he might become the new target of his brother’s anger. “If you break that, mother will be upset. You know she spent a fortune getting that back from Shanghai for you. I heard she hired an entire caravan of elephants like Hannibal, just to get it halfway here.” Lawrence grinned as though enjoying chiding his elder brother for his bad mood.

With a gruff snarl Lucien set the vase back down on the cherry wood side table and glowered at his brother.

“I thought you were in France.” Lucien’s tone was still rough with anger.

Let me know what you think!

Eight Sentence Sunday- Wicked Seduction

Hi Guys,

I'm joining in on the fun of Eight Sentence Sunday started by the Weekend Writing Warriors.

         Here's eight sentences from my book Wicked Seduction which will hopefully be available sometime next year. It is the sequel to my regency romance book Wicked Designs will will be available from Samhain January 2014.

         In Wicked Seduction- The notorious rogue Lucien meets his match with the quiet, intellectual, but passionate Horatia- the younger sister of his close friend. She's the one woman who is off-limits and the only one he's ever wanted.

“I couldn’t sleep.” Her words were hoarse, as hunger for him tickled her insides.

He leaned forward, his body close to hers as he blew out the candle in her hand. The sudden darkness falling around them made her breath catch. The smoke curled and danced up between them, coiling like the serpent in the garden. Lucien was the forbidden fruit, gleaming and offering a world of knowledge about bodily desire and pleasure beyond words.

“There’s a lovely little remedy for sleep that I always employ, do you want to know what it is?” The look of sheer sensual mischief dancing in his eyes, set her skin on fire.

Let me know what you think!
