Book Description:
You can fight desire…
Marie DeLou doesn’t want to
believe that her life is anything less than perfect. After all, how could it
not be? She has a thriving mental health practice and a doting husband who
loves her. Still, when a freight train of a man tears through her quiet
existence, she has to wonder if things—and people—are not always what they seem
to be.
…but there’s no stopping destiny
Prince Patrick Alvang of the Noir Dera has one job to do--to
save the Beacon of Light, Marie DeLou, from the danger lurking within her
walls. But between her smoking hot body and her equally fiery attitude, his
task is a whole lot more difficult than
he’d expected. Lucky for him, it looks like the only way to get to the finish
line is to play dirty along the way…
Excerpt: A dance with the devil
Marie felt like
throwing a party to commemorate the end of her crazy day. She had one client
committed and had to stop another session early in order to get her last client
to stop crying.
She changed
quickly and was ready for the studio within 10 minutes of her last session. She
put her new CD on and fought to get through the Brandon traffic.
Brandon, Florida
had traffic at all hours of the day. It was as if the traffic Gods rejected the
idea of a peaceful drive through the city.
Once she arrived
at her studio, she bolted inside and locked the door. She pulled on her silky,
beaded skirt and wrapped it snugly around her waist. She then tied a blue scarf
to each wrist and began stretching. She turned on the stereo and let the magic
begin. Marie started to relax as the
sound of Anoushka Shankar’s sitar filled the small dance space.
She could feel
the energy coursing through her body. The music threaded through the empty
spaces in her spirit. She spun and danced to ISHQ and felt as if she was flying
when “Dancing in Madness” floated out of the speakers.
She spared no
expense when it came to her studio. It was a place where art came alive. Art
and peace were flowing through her body
when she saw someone standing outside the studio. Doctor Fallen Angel had come to pay her a
visit.
Oh, this is
surely the devil’s work.
She would not be
decent to him. Refusing to pause the music, she released the deadbolt and let
him in.
“Dr. Alvang, I
want you to know that Marcel has sold you up the river. There is no way you’ll
survive this.” She turned and walked to the center of the studio. She wound her
hips to "Si No Puedo Verla" and waited for his response. “You will
dance and not complain. You have invaded my peace and I will not give you
anything until you’re broken by my music.”
Men hated to
dance and she was prepared to mop the floor with the good doctor. Marcel was the only man that could keep pace.
Patrick didn’t
hesitate. He walked up behind her and grabbed her by the waist. She relaxed
into his hold for a split second. They danced like flames leaping to kiss the
air.
It was flawless.
She became lost
in the pain, pleasure, joy, and seduction of the sitar and the guitars. Patrick
touched every inch of her and demanded that her body respond.
She backed away
as her leg slid to his waist. He lifted
Marie by the waist and positioned her closer. His palms were on the small of
her back. The movement pressed their bodies close. There was no escaping.
It was as if
he’d melted into her and bonded them together. The CD ended, and then, without
warning, the song changed. Mark Rosas was singing "Higher" and
Patrick continued dancing as if the shift in music was inconsequential.
She’d left that
dance mix at home.
Why was it
playing? The dubstep rhythm in the song gave him an opportunity to really show
off. He lifted her into his arms again.
Patrick turned her toward one of the mirrors
as he ground into her back. She wrapped her arms around his neck and felt his
breath brushing against her ear. She was transfixed. Her eyes were glued to the
mirror. Their bodies resembled an erotic oil painting.
Patrick pulled
her in tighter and she melted into him. Their legs moved, but Marie was lost in
the dance.
She heard Mark
sing, “I just want to take you higher, com'n
let me light your fire."

Interview:
Where are you from?
I never know
how to answer that question. I was born
in Guadeloupe but grew up in the small migrant community of Immokalee FL. I now
live in Tampa.
Tell us your latest news?
I have just
released the second edition of my book Beacon of Sound. It now has a new cover
and has been revised.
What inspired you to write your first book?
The story kept popping up in my head. There were
days where whole scenes would play out as I attempted to get homework done. I
knew it was time to write it all down.
How did you come up with the title?
It took me three tries to get the title. My husband
put the final title together for me.
Is there a message in your novel that you want
readers to grasp?
Live your truth on a daily basis. Hiding from
yourself will only make things worse.
How much of the book is realistic?
The book has only a few realistic qualities. If this stuff happened to a regular woman, she
would pack up and leave the state.
Are experiences based on someone you know, or events
in your own life?
The locations are based on my hometown and the current
city I live in. Marie is a combination of some of the women in my life.
What books have most influenced your life most?
Bram Stoker’s Dracula influenced my writing life. I fell in love with that story and knew
I wanted to write paranormal stories.
If you had to choose, which writer would you
consider a mentor?
I would consider Stephen Kin a mentor. He has been
writing for decades and still comes up with fresh material.
Are there any new authors that have grasped your
interest?
I am reading my first S.E. Hall novel and love it so
far. I will definitely be reading more of her work.
What are your current projects?
I am working on book two of the Noir Dera series and
will begin editing on The Book of Love Unbound in the summer.
What would you like my readers to know?
Thank you for hosting!
