career position she has fought for many years to attain, she must remain human
with no romantic ties.
~Excerpt~
Raymond smiled at her. It was a
beautiful smile, not fake or forced. You can always tell when it’s real. His
black colored eyes held the smile, not just his luscious, full lips. Alex
noticed his hair was a bit damp, probably due to a last minute shower on his
way over. His hair was parted tonight, and a curl of bangs hung lopsided onto
his forehead. It gave him a Superman appearance. She always did like Superman.
Alex knew her pulse sped up as she
took in the visual strip tease in her mind. She thought back to their earlier
conversation. Humans and vampires could have sex together. Sex. She swallowed
hard. She hadn’t thought of having sex with a man in a long time. Her heart
sped up even faster. She wondered if he could hear it. If he did, he didn’t
show it. He just sat sipping his wine, looking sexy as hell.
Her glass was in her hands, and she
took a gulp of wine, hoping to squelch the heat she was feeling. Instead, it
fueled the flame. Would sex with a vampire be different than with a human? If
it were, she was betting it would be better. The sexual relationships she had
in the past, if she could remember that far back, were moderately satisfying.
Definitely not romance novel, page turning, steamy … but satisfying.
~About the Author~
Regina Morris loves paranormal
romances featuring vampires, but her personal taste is suspenseful and
lighthearted – not horrific and gory. The White House, the President, and
Washington D.C. are merely backdrops to support her romance series (the
COLONY). They offer some suspense, but her books are romances and not political
thrillers.
She has lived in many different
parts of the world, and grew up on military bases. Her father was career
military and CIA; his father worked with the Secret Service. She graduated high
school in Germany and attended the University of Texas at Austin, where she
received a degree in Computer Science with a minor in math. Her specialty is
social media and she loves connecting with people.
Besides writing, she has past work
experience as a software engineer (current job), public speaker, sales
representative (#1 National Sales Rep for an online company years ago), and she
is an amateur portrait and sports photographer.
