One thing is always the same in my books, no matter what
genre or type of book it is. In my head, the hero always is the same guy. I
could be sentimental, and say that it’s my husband. And, truthfully, a bit of
him shines through in all my heroes. Don’t tell anyone, though—I want to keep
him.
But I’m talking about my fantasy—will never meet—let alone
get to touch—yet I love him—guy. We all have him. Or more than one of him. For
me, it’s him. In Kill Me Tomorrow, my new paranormal 1NightStand romance from Decadent
Publishing, he had blonde hair and purple eyes.
But he looked like him, anyway. And I drool over him every
Monday night on CBS. My hero, ladies and gentlemen, is always….Alex O’Loughlin.
Man, he gives me inspiration. In many ways.
Here’s some drooling pleasure for you. And read about
him…um, Gavin, in Kill Me Tomorrow,
out now from Decadent Publishing.
Kill Me Tomorrow is a
paranormal romance book, in Decadent Publishing’s fabulous 1Night Stand series.
The series revolves around the enigmatic Madame Eve who always seems to be able
to find the perfect match for that special someone.
Blurb:
Jasmine Baruch is a
jinn-a supernatural being who fights demons with fire. While that’s difficult
enough, she’s got bigger problems. She’s a virgin, and in the jinn culture,
that is sheer blasphemy. Jinn are supposed to be passionate, promiscuous
creatures-everything she isn’t. Due to marry the next day, she takes matters
into her own hands by using 1NS. But, like the rest of her life, nothing is
easy. The man chosen for her, though incredibly gorgeous, is a demi-sanguine; a
half-human, half-demon-her enemy.
Gavin Werbato is
looking for an easy night of sex. Nothing more, nothing less. Instead, he gets
a gorgeous jinn convinced it is her duty to kill him. He can certainly think of
better things to do with her soft hands than murder. He need only convince her
of that…
Can the fire sparked
when these beings collide be controlled, or will it consume their world as they
know it?
Excerpt:
She’d accomplished nothing at all.
Nothing.
A weight sank beside her on the bed, and she shrieked.
She darted a glance at the door, but it remained locked. Of course it did—
portals didn’t hold back demons.
“Good punch.” He laughed and rubbed his nose. “Some men
might hold a grudge—but not me. I heal too fast.”
Indeed he did. A glance at his face revealed features as
gorgeous as ever. This sucked for the self-pity party she’d been trying to
throw.
She preferred him bloody and not so devilishly striking.
She groaned and dropped her head into her hands. “Why
won’t you just leave?” He caressed her arm in a lazy, seductive way, and she
shivered. “Stop that.”
His hand stopped moving, but he didn’t remove it. “Why do
I have to stop?” he murmured. “Why do I have to leave?” He traced an invisible
path leading up to her shoulder. From there, he grasped a curl and twirled it
between his fingers, as if testing its elasticity. Her scalp tingled at his
tender tug, and a jolt of lightning shot straight to her stomach, causing her
to bite back a moan.
“Because….” She lifted her head, and turned to face him.
His eyes were so blue they were nearly purple, which,
combined with his light blond hair, made him a lethal opponent indeed. How
could she resist such a gorgeous creature, knowing that it might be her last
chance to rid herself of her virginity? Yet, how could she say yes? “Because
you are half demon, and I am a jinn. We are adversaries, you and I.”
“I’m not an evil demi-sanguine,” he assured her
calmly. “I don’t rape, kill, or pillage. I’m unremarkably human—plus a few
small details. But you are hardly normal yourself,” he drawled with a lazy
grin. “And I’d like to make love to you.”
