Dark Desire-Book 4 of the Dark Breed Enforcers #SPeekSunday

Time for another peek!

This Sundays offering is another snippet from Dark Desire, book 4 in the Dark Breed Enforcers series. Zeke finds himself a married man and more than ready to consummate the union.

 

 

 

Sneak Peek:

“You look as tightly wound up as a cat in a room of rocking chairs.” Tegan’s laughed, nudging Zeke’s shoulder good naturedly.

“Bite me panther boy.” Zeke ground out, his eyes may be hidden behind the dark shades he wore, but his head tracked Laris whenever she moved through the crowded room.

“Sorry, but you’re so not my type.” Tegan laughed.

“Will you stop tormenting the poor guy? He’s been through enough today he doesn’t need your bating him on top of it.” Kyra gently admonished her mate, placing a hand on his arm and giving it a gentle squeeze.

“I still can’t believe you never told us you were the actual heir to Atlantis.” Marcus shook his dark head. His long hair pulled back his face, giving him an austere air of an aristocrat. By his side, his consort Tambra Ellis tilted her head with curiosity. The two made a stunning couple, with her as pale as he was dark. Her golden hair wound around her with a will of its own.

A hybrid between a pureblooded lycan, vampire mix. Taking Marcus’s blood when she turned - or as it was known to the lycans as ‘the rising’- held some interesting side effects. One being that her ever-moving pale locks reacted to her moods, calm and soothing or whipping around her like Medusa’s snakes. Something, which Zeke found a bit unnerving.

Wednesday Snippet-Dark Desire Inspiration

For some reason Book Hooks is experiencing a technical problem, or my computer is just being stubborn, can't tell which since technology is NOT my forte. So in the spirit of Book Hooks I am giving you a snippet of my fourth book in the Dark Breed Enforcer series, due out this spring.

This beautiful man you see here was my inspiration for Zeke, the only thing missing is his shades. 

 

So, here is a small taste of Dark Desire hope you enjoy.

 

 

Zeke bit out a vicious curse as he tore hell through the alley, his boots pounding the pavement with in a quick thumping tempo. He burst out the alley turning a sharp right, startled to find a homeless man pushing a grocery cart full of his belongings right in his path. The old man cried attempting to move out of the way abandoning his belongings in a frantic effort to avoid the collision.

Gathering his strength, muscles bunching he leapt. His long legs carrying him clear of the cart. The heavy thump of his boots on the concrete, drowned out by the old man cussing him out. Zeke ignored it, bolting forward, his arms pumping to give him greater speed. His eyes riveted ahead at the dark haired lycan sprinting ahead of him.

God damn Pure Bloods.

He didn’t have time for this shit. He thought he kept upwind of Lucien’s sensitive nose. As he chased after Temple Fox’s top dog…or wolf, he cursed the March winds notorious in the Las Vegas valley. Shifting direction with a sudden micro burst of air Lucien stiffened, raising his head to sniff the air and just that quick he’d been made.

The quick and easy grab and dash for Oman’s Seal dying a quick death as the asshole took off leading him a merry chase through old town Las Vegas. So far the crowds have been sparse, but he knew his luck wouldn’t last. When it came to the lycan it never did.



Enter Their World - Dark Hunter Book 3 -#MFRWBookHooks

Happy Hump Day all! It's time for another taste of Dark Hunter book 3 in the Dark Breed Enforcers series.

 

Vampire Mari Ankamunan struggles to pick up the pieces of her life after her bar The Asp becomes a war zone between the Enforcers and members of the Preservation Society, who want all dark breeds wiped out. The sudden appearance of the only man she ever loved brings her world to a crashing halt, for she witnessed his brutal murder two thousand years ago.

Navar’s spoken oaths to his Sire cost him Mari. Torn from her side by the sidhe queen, he is her Hunter, delivering justice for crimes against the breeds. Now freed he returns to his lovers side only to be caught in a dark plot where Mari is targeted for death.

The stakes are high, can they uncover a deadly plot against the Enforcers or will Navar lose Mari, forever by an assassin’s hand?

Book Hook

“My god, Mari! You look like you’ve seen a ghost. What the hell is wrong with you?” Anya grabbed Mari’s arm to steady her.

Oh, gods, it can’t be!

The irony in Anya’s words hit her with all the power of a semi, leaving her mute, able only to gaze upon the man who sired her with a desperate kind of hunger. Like a woman dying of thirst, she drank him in and noted with surprise the changes to the man she knew two thousand years ago.

Enter Thier World -Dark Passion Rising Book One #SPeekSunday

Welcome to the next installment of Dark Passion Rising. The first book in the Dark Breed Enforcers series.

Marcus is have a hell of a time forgetting the fiery metro cop Tambra Ellis, but needing to feed he finds his way to his old friend Mari who runs a bar called The Asp for dark breeds who may need a little blood and whatever else a vampire may desire. But this night he may have gotten much more than he bargained for. 

Sneak Peek

She hesitantly nodded, removing her hand from him and again exposing her neck. Pulling her wrist toward him, he struck quickly, his long canines punching into her vein. She moaned in pleasure, squirming closer to his broad chest. Her blood filled his mouth, spilling down his throat and sending power through his blood stream. Taking deep pulls, he sated his hunger then lapped at her wounds to seal the deep punctures on her wrist before releasing her. He resisted the urge to fling her away from him. He rose, unable to stand the feel of her against him for another second, and sent her tumbling back against the pillows. Confusion clouded her pretty face as she looked up at him.

“Thank you for your generosity. That is all I require,” Marcus mumbled, placing a few folded bills on the dresser before turning and heading out of the room. He didn’t stop until he was once again outside in the oppressive heat, the night shadows wrapping tightly around him, soothing his panic.  Never in his long years of life had he been repelled by the nearness of a beautiful woman. That could only mean…no. He would not even think it. Fate could not be so cruel as to give him a Consort he could never have. Tambra belonged to another and that was the end of it.

A movement out of the corner of his eye drew his attention in time to see a figure duck between a house and vacant lot. Curiosity made him move forward until he stood looking down the long walkway between the house and the lot. At the end of the walkway, six figures moved out of the shadows to face him. He saw two vampires among the weres as they circled around him.

Ferals, he thought with disgust. Crouching low, he prepared for battle, knowing he was outnumbered, which was how he liked it. His lips twisted into a cold smile as he nodded at one particularly large Were.

“Time to dance with the Devil,” Marcus said softly as he pulled one of his daggers free of its sheath.

There was no more time for talk as the Weres attacked with a flash of teeth and claws.

Welcome to another installment of Book Hooks. This Wednesday gives you a peek into the world of the Dark Breed through they eyes of a dark breed who is not an Enforcer.

Book Hook

 

Mari blinked at the two men, feeling left out of the loop in the

XY-chromosome chat. Males. Can’t live without them and

can’t kill them. Irritation spiked into the red zone, her

patience threadbare for the bullshit. Placing her diminutive

self between the two towering males, she gave them both a

fearless glare and fisted her hands on her hips.

All conversation stopped as they stared down at her with surprise. Good, now she had their attention. “I’ve been alive since the time of Cleopatra. I didn’t survive all those centuries by being a fucking weak female

Sneak Peek

 

“Oh, God. This isn’t happening. It can’t be real. Werewolves don’t exist.”

“Believe me, they do exist. Denying what you have seen will be foolish and dangerous, for you and everyone you’re around.”

“No. I don’t believe this. I won’t believe it. There has to be  some logical explanation for what I saw.” The sharp edge of hysteria rose in her voice. “I will not turn into a dog. I don’t even like dogs.”

 

That made him smile despite the seriousness of the situation.

She was absolutely adorable and he was in deep shit because of it. Yet, he couldn’t seem to make himself care. “Wolf, not dog. You were bitten by a Lycan, not Lassie.”

“Ha, ha, laugh it up big guy. You don’t have to worry about fleas.”

Laughter rumbled out of him, surprising him as much as it seemed to anger her. Tambra stood in front of him, her golden hair tumbling wildly down her back, clutching the comforter tightly to her breasts. Her blue eyes glittered with anger and Marcus fought the urge to pull her into his arms and stroke her soft, creamy skin. He clenched his hands into fists and kept still. She was still too pale,evidence of the weakness he knew was plaguing her but, damn, she was magnificent. A true warrior, ready to fight regardless of the fact she couldn’t win.
