We've got another fabulous Sunday to indulge in eight awesome sentences! Here's an excerpt from my May 29, 2013 release of Blood Moon on the Rise.
(it came out early on Smashwords, click here to buy now!)
Tamara and Nicholas the hero and heroine are members of a supernatural creature hunting society. An ancient law forbids them from falling in love and yet they were assigned as partners when they were fifteen years old. Now as adults, they are fighting the feelings which have only grown between them since they were teenagers. Here Tamara's been injured by a werewolf attack and Nicholas is going to heal her but her damaged jeans are in the way.
Nicholas left the
room and returned a pair of large scissors and made as if to cut her jeans off
just above the wound.
“Hey, what are you
doing?” Tamara waved the scissors away.
“Tamara, it’s
either off with the pants entirely or cropping off one side,” he said and clicked the
scissors together, a wicked glint in his eyes. She hated it when he did that. When
he joked and teased at the edge of the very issue they never talked about. How could he always find a joke to ease the
tension, when all she wanted was to jump his bones?
“Oh, alright, cut it off,” she surrendered with
an exasperated sigh.
Want to know what happens next and find out how Tamara and Nicholas survive a deadly lust spell cast by a vengeful sorceress? Check back here on my blog or facebook for more details.

OFFICIAL BLURB:
Tamara wants nothing more than to
protect the world from deadly paranormal creatures. Well, maybe she wants a little more than that. But the man she
craves—Nicholas Rubin—is strictly off limits.
For years, Nicholas has been her loyal partner, helping to defeat
murderous werewolves and take down unruly vampires. Nicholas has always given Tamara his
protection, friendship, and support. The only thing he hasn’t given her is his
love. A relationship between Tamara and Nicholas is forbidden by ancient law,
and the consequences could be deadly.
But when a powerful Sorceress threatens both their lives,
Tamara has a choice to make: Give into her feelings for Nicholas, and risk her
life. Or take a chance on Nicholas, and receive his love—at a price.
