With release day only 24 hours from now I thought it would be a great time to share a teaser from the novella. So grab your coffee and enjoy this small excerpt of The Hunted a novella which begins my series Guild of Assassins.
With great care, Taren lightly brushed away the tears with his
fingers before cupping her face and tilting her head up to meet his gaze head
on. “So beautiful, tasa meela.”
His deep voice held a husky note, sending a cascade of warmth through her, sweeping
over her breasts and down to the juncture between her legs.
“What does that mean?” Her question came out in a breathless
whisper as his heat caressed her, building a pulsing need hammering through
her.
“The closest translation in your words is ‘bright spirit’.”
Taren drew nearer touching his forehead to hers and stroking
her cheek with gentle fingers.
“Oh, I like that.” Leigh whispered placing her hand over
his.
Time froze for one perfect moment as they stood poised at
the brink of a precipice she sensed there would be coming back from.
“My mind tells me this is wrong, what is between us. Still,
my soul cries out for you, your body a sweet siren’s
song I must follow.”
Her breath caught on
his words, her heart opening to him. She was dangerously close to falling in
love with him, just as she knew she could trust him with her heart and soul,
her very life.
Everything about him and her
felt…right. Not wrong as he argued.
She drew away just enough to stare up into his beautiful dark
eyes, missing the swirl of red she spied that morning in their dark depths.
“I am yours to take, Taren. I have never before felt such a
pull. All that I am calls out for you too.” To lend power to her words, she
reached out fingers sinking into thick golden strands of his hair. She marveled
in the silkiness before lightly tracing his tightly curved horns.
On a shudder, his eyes closed, his breathing labored as she
stroked them. Who knew a Demosian’s s horns could be so sensitive?
On pre-order through Amazon.
