Welcome to the countdown to MIDNIGHT LIES. The second book in the Wildefire series releases a week from today. To entice you and get you excited for the book, each day I'll share a favorite scene, a review, and give away a prize. To be eligible for the prize, all you need to do is comment. I'll announce the winner on tomorrow's post.
Here's a snippet from one of my favorite scenes:
“There is no 'us'.”
Closing the distance between them, he said
quietly, “Are you sure, Sam?”
The alarm in her eyes deepened and he knew she wanted to back
away from him. He was damn proud of her that she didn’t. Instead she raised her
chin and glared. When he stepped even closer, her body went stiff as if poised
for flight.
“What are you afraid of, sweetheart?”
“I’m not afraid.”
He might have believed her if her voice hadn’t
been trembling. Lifting her chin with his finger, he gently traced the edge of
her jaw. “Sam…” Lowering his head, he whispered a soft kiss across her lips.
“Please…baby…I’m sorry I hurt you.”
She moaned beneath his mouth and opened hers for a
deeper connection. Though everything within him told him to give her the soul
deep kiss he wanted, Quinn kept it as gentle and unthreatening as possible.
He’d hurt her before, damned if he would do it again.
Pulling away slightly, he looked down, hoping to
see acceptance and forgiveness. It wasn’t there.
Samantha backed away, shaking her head. She
couldn’t believe she’d almost given in. Even now, just from that one soft kiss,
she could feel her body softening, preparing itself for more. Her libido might
be a traitor but her mind and heart made the decisions for her. They told her
to get the hell away from him.
“Go home, Quinn. There’s nothing for you here.”
“You’re here, Sam,” Quinn said quietly.
Unable to respond without falling apart, Samantha
turned around and took off running. She could feel Quinn’s eyes on her until
she disappeared from sight.
And here's what Publishers Weekly said about MIDNIGHT LIES: "This is a fine example of romantic suspense, with an alpha hero who has a sensitive side, a tough and feisty heroine who sometimes acts like a damsel waiting to be swept off her feet, and plenty of twists and turns. Fans of the genre will be well pleased."
And now for the prize! A $25 Amazon gift card
Winner announced tomorrow!
