BLURB:
Where does the
road to Hell begin?
What
happens when your son turns homicidal overnight and your husband disappears on
his way to work? Do you cower in fear or fight for your life? Madison Wescott
fights against the odds. Distrustful of a God she doesn't believe in, she finds
herself face-to-face with a world she didn't know existed and discovers her own
soul is darkened with demonic connections.
With good
intentions? Or by demonic design?
Phoenix
Birmingham bursts into Madison’s life in a whirlwind of sarcasm and sexual
appeal. A hero for the masses—and for her jaded heart—but few will ever know
the sacrifices he has made or the sacrifices to come. Discovering her entire
life has been influenced by multifaceted paranormal beings, Madison is
determined to defeat the apocalyptic blueprint fate has decreed, but only one
man dares to challenge the supernatural forces manipulating them. Even with
Phoenix's aid, can destiny be denied? Or will demonic design prevail while they
pay the crucial price with their souls?
In a small, sleepy Alabama town the
battlefor mankind's liberty has begun...
EXCERPT:
“May
I?” He held up the medical supplies.
She
nodded and watched as he doused gauze with antiseptic. “Dr. Nix at your
service,” he said with a grin, two adorable dimples charming her where words
failed.
Madison
rolled her eyes, and tipped her head to the side to give him better access. He
brushed her hair off her neck, back behind her shoulder. Such a simple gesture,
yet it felt terribly personal. The air grew thick and sticky with her awareness
of him. She shifted in her seat and crossed her legs.
Madison
stared into his eyes. Green, she thought, his eyes were green, gorgeous and
intense, with ridiculously long eyelashes women would fantasize about. If they
didn’t, they should. A flicker of compassion, concern, and something else she
couldn’t identify flashed in his eyes.
“Ready?”
he asked.
The
husky tenor of his voice forced her gaze to shift to his mouth. Nice, sexy
lips, designed for kissing. She gave a mental shake but couldn’t resist
wondering how his mouth would feel on hers.
“Madison?”
Humor deepened his voice, a touch of a smile tilted the edges of the lips she’d
been fantasizing about, and she realized she still stared at them. “You ready?”
he asked again, and her eyes widened in embarrassment over her foolish stupor.
She
swallowed hard. “Yeah.” She whispered past the lump in her throat and forced
her vision to lock on the wall over his shoulder. Good God, what was wrong with
her? Her pulse throbbed like crazy, and she felt woozy. Loss of blood! Must be
why she reacted that way. No other explanation made sense.
Even
though the antiseptic stung like hell, the gentle touch coming from such a
gruff man surprised her. “It’s not bad,” he said, dabbing the blood away. “Just
a nick.”
Well,
she could nix the blood loss theory. Exhaustion and stress were the only other
excuses she could come up with. “I’ve suffered worse.” Her voice sounded off,
kind of hoarse. She tried to clear her throat delicately, but he must have
noticed her unease, because his perceptive eyes met hers. Again, she thought
she caught the edge of concern reflected in their green depths.
“This
isn’t the first time he’s attacked you?”
“No.
It’s the first time he’s tried to seriously kill me, though.” She sighed as she
closed her eyes, ready to give up fighting, the sudden tears threatening to
fall. Okay, woozy and acting strange because of strain…not because of him.
Seriously, as far as first impressions went, she wasn’t impressed.

Aw....thank you love! You've said some really nice things about my other books too. It's always appreciated. Pandora's Box isn't even remotely similar to either of them though, so keep that in mind! PB is a mixture of paranormal, horror and romance.
ReplyDeleteHuggles,
Gracen
Yes ma'am i know it's completely different and i can't wait to read it because i love it when authors are so versatile...
ReplyDeleteI enjoy writing a sex scene and smoking up the page with hot sex in my erotic novels, but I have to be in the "mood" to write a sex scene. And I'm not talking about in the mood for sex, just the right frame of mind to get all the visuals right without giving 3 hands to one person. lol But...strangely, the horror scenes come easier and require very little thought to get them written. It's as if the scene just flows through my head--along with all the visuals--with ease. They're like movie-reel flashes that make them easy to detail.
ReplyDeleteWeird, huh?
Huggles,
Gracen
Nope not so weird sometimes it's easier to visualize horror because your not thinking so much about proper placement and where there hands are like you said three hands... LOL sometimes you can just write like Horror and it's there... Oh BTW i'm sure being in the mood for SEX and being in the mood to write SEX are two different things.
