Book Description:
An
erotic paranormal romance...
Seductive and lethal vampire,
Léopold Devereoux, returns to the Big Easy to find a killer. His search leads him to a beautiful and
mysterious woman, who awakens desires and emotions that he’s long fought to
keep buried. After centuries of
self-imposed solitude, the billionaire philanthropist struggles to restrain his
growing thirst for the intriguing, lovely female who’s captured his attention.
Laryssa Theriot, an antiques
proprietor in the Vieux Carré, agrees to help the commanding yet debonair
stranger, who seeks her assistance. She
withholds her secret abilities, afraid to trust the man who threatens to
unleash her darkest fantasies. All the
while, Léopold consumes her thoughts, testing her limits and bringing her to
new levels of ecstasy. As the menacing
force that has stalked Laryssa for years finally catches up to her, she
submits, putting her life into the hands of the dominant vampire who offers his
protection.
Deep in the heart of New Orleans,
they embark on a perilous adventure, forced to search for an ancient
sacrificial relic that they hope will save their lives. As they face formidable challenges, Léopold
and Laryssa surrender to the passionate intimacy that possesses them. After hundreds of years of denying himself
love, will Léopold bond to the woman who has begun to crack the impenetrable
shell around his heart? As evil draws
near, will Laryssa survive the demon that has come to take her soul?
Warning: This book contains
several erotic love scenes and is intended for adult readers only.
Excerpt
Laryssa had
heard the customer behind her, but the damn mirror wire wouldn’t seem to catch
right. It kept slipping and she cursed
under her breath, hoping she wouldn’t drop it.
If she could just hold it up a minute longer, she could get it to hang
squarely on the wall. She fingered the
hook that she’d just renailed into the wall and then moved her thumb over to
the thin metal string. With a final
shove upward, she attempted to flick it into place. But as the wire caught, it sliced into her flesh. A sharp sting threw her off balance, and her
pumps began to waver. Sh*t. Not again.
“Oh my God!”
Laryssa squeaked as she fell backwards, fully expecting to crack her head open
on one of the many sharp-edged desks that sat adjacent to where she’d been
working. As she felt strong male hands
slide up under her ribcage, grazing her breasts, she gasped. She wasn’t sure whether to thank the stranger
or call the police, but as she turned her face to try to see him, she
immediately recognized her rescuer.
“It’s you,” she
stammered, clutching his arms. Laryssa giggled nervously, realizing how once
again she’d foolishly fallen in front of the sexy vampire. And like last night, he’d caught her. She couldn’t believe how clumsy she’d all of
a sudden become. She tried to relax and
find her footing, but her heart was beating so fast that she could barely
think. What is he doing here in my
shop? How did he find me?
Like a story
book flipping pages, her mind whirled until she remembered what she’d done last
night at the club. She’d fought off the
asshole who’d grabbed her at the bar.
The feel of his hands around her throat had forced her fear into
overdrive. The knife had only been a few
inches away, but still too far.
Desperation had taken over as her power surged, calling the blade to her
fingertips. Jamming it into his neck was
as instinctive as breathing. Kill or be
killed, she’d always choose the former.
She’d run into the alley, refusing to discuss it with management. The only one who knew her was Avery and there
was no way her friend would have divulged her identity to the vampire. She’d be more likely to turn him into a three
horned sheep before she’d squeal. The
only way the vampire could have found her would have been if he’d followed her
home.
