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 1st)
Tamara was lost to the world of the waking, her luscious body relaxed and loose, her lightly tanned skin a compliment to the red bedspread beneath her. Like an erotic fantasy centerfold spread, she made him want to rouse her to wakefulness and do all the wicked, sinful things he’d ever dreamed about. Yet, at the same time, he was moved by the vision she presented, a warrior finally at rest, if only briefly. It was a sight he never got used to; every second she was awake she was a coiled spring, ready to fight. With her raven hair cropped at the chin, she looked like a rebel, but her gray eyes held a haunting sadness, an echo of his own emptiness. He’d wanted her for so long, wanted to just be with her, no rules, no games, no life or death threats. It was a punishment beyond imagining to be bound together, yet kept apart. It pained him to know that she couldn’t be an average woman, and he couldn’t be an average man.
Watch my blog and facebook page for details on the upcoming release of Blood Moon on the Rise to find out what happens to Tamara and Nicholas.
