Blood Moon on the Rise- Eight Sentence Sunday 4-28-13

 Hi Everyone!
Welcome to another fantastic Eight Sentence Sunday!

Here's an excerpt from my upcoming paranormal romance release of a forbidden love between two supernatural hunters Tamara and Nicholas! I hope you enjoy this selection from Blood Moon on the Rise (available from Amazon on May 22st).  Here the hero, Nicholas is comforting Tamara because she'd been forced to take out a vicious shapeshifter that had nearly killed them.




“See, no blood,” he murmured and did something he knew shouldn’t have. He kissed the insides of her calloused palms, willing away all the pain and heartache she felt for taking a life. His magic sparked from his fingers and lips, sinking into her skin, warming her with the heat and comfort it could provide.

She shut her eyes at the touch of his lips on her skin, and then he gently pulled her into his arms. She nuzzled her cheek against his chest, and they watched the stars move over the sky together. From that moment, he knew he loved her and no other.

His magic was inside her, twisting its tiny tendrils of power in her heart, connecting him to her in a way that could never be undone. She was free to leave him, free to love someone else, but he bound himself to her, sealing her with a protection only the deepest, purest magic could give, and love was the strongest magic there was.
