About the Book:
Faye Redwood won’t be anyone’s tasty little treat,
especially not sexy vampire, Owen Ashmore’s. It seems however, Owen is intent
on convincing her otherwise.
Faye Redwood is different to other humans. She sees
supernatural beings. When it comes to
surviving as a Seer, Faye always follows her
grandmother’s advice, whatever you do, don’t let them feed on you. As a
result, Faye has managed to avoid being any creatures’ dinner for twenty-seven
years now. A late night walk through the park and a chance encounter with a
sexy vampire is about to change that situation for ever.
After being a creature of the night for the last two
and a half centuries Owen Ashmore has become pragmatic about the human race.
They are a source of food and a side order of carnal delight if the mood takes
him. However, Owens opinion is about to change. Faye Redwood is unlike any
human he’s ever met. He isn’t content to simply make her his tasty little
treat, Owen is about to help her become so much more.
Excerpt:
Faye breathed in deeply and exhaled slowly. After
twenty-six years of avoiding the paranormal, keeping her distance, why tonight
did her inner voice fail? She picked up her mobile phone and stared at the
screen, just rummaging through her bag to find nothing would be too suspicious.
With no sixth sense to guide her, only one course of action sprang to mind. She
replaced the phone in her bag, then continued on her way. She moved slowly, a
few sluggish steps at a time, reluctant to leave the area. The creature
certainly posed a threat to her, but would he harm other innocent passersby.
Self-preservation finally won the battle with her conscience, so she picked up
her pace.
“I know you can see me, little fairy.” Faye spun
around, expecting to see the man standing behind her. Instead, she saw nothing.
Turning her head, she gazed up at the creature on the roof. He remained there,
sitting forward now, his body more alert than before, his eyes fixated on her.
“And now I know you can hear me as well.”
Damn it.
Faye spun back around in the direction she needed to
head, out of the park, toward home, to safety. The adrenaline of being
discovered enabled her body to click into gear, legs finally propelling her
forward at a rapid rate. Not that running away did any good. Breath forcefully
expelled from her lungs as she hit the solid mass in front of her.
Damn, he moves fast.
Rebounding from the impact, she would have fallen to
the ground had his arms not encased her, holding her steady.
“Fuck.” She only meant to curse silently, but the word
spilled from her lips along with a groan of frustration as he pulled her
against his hard body. She lifted her gaze to his, confirming her suspicions.
Black eyes, with a thin red line circling the iris, white pupils staring at
her, a structurally perfect face covered in pale pristine skin, his smile
exposing a hint of elongated
canine. Faye stood wrapped in the arms of a vampire,
probably a hungry one at that.
“What a delightful greeting, little fairy, but I think
it’s far too early in our relationship to discuss sex, don’t you?” His smile
appeared wicked, in a sexy kind of way.
“I think it’s too early to call this a relationship,
now let me go.” Faye tried not to wiggle against him, she simply pushed her
hands firmly on his chest, hoping he’d take the hint and release her. Her heart
rate continued to accelerate as her fear increased, she could feel the pulse in
her neck
fluttering. Not a good state to be in when facing a
hungry vampire, no matter how sexy he looked.
The red rim around his eyes indicated he needed to feed
so the last thing she wanted to do was send him into a bloodlust. She stilled,
realizing her efforts to push him away were futile. He wasn't letting go
anytime soon especially considering the rim around his irises had noticeably
thickened in the short time he’d held her, as did something at his groin.
“I like the feel of you against me, my little fairy,
just as I like your smell.” A seductive smile displayed his lengthening canines.
“The scent of your arousal while you struggle to free yourself makes me
appreciate you all the more.”
“I am not aroused by you. I’m also not anybody’s
little fairy, especially yours,” Faye snapped indignantly, then swiftly
changed her tone in case her resistance inflamed the situation. “Now let me go…please.”
Her grandmother had taught her many things, one of them
being—you attract more bees with honey than vinegar. Her final words were
therefore sweetly polite, with a hint of vulnerability.
Faye rested quietly in his arms, trying to calm the
race of her pulse, deepen the shallow gasps of her breathing and still the
strange heat thrilling through her body, which shouldn't be occurring under
these circumstances. Vampires were cold to the touch so being held this close
should make her shiver, not flush with heat. Unless, no he couldn't be correct.
Faye adjusted her position lightly, failing to stifle a groan as her erect
nipples rasped against the fabric of her bra. His assertion regarding her state
rang true, she was aroused.
“As you wish, but only because you asked so politely.”
He released her from his embrace, stepping back with a slight bow. “Allow me to
introduce myself. I am Owen Ashmore.”
“Faye.” She stated nervously in reply, intentionally
omitting her last name, Redwood.
As Owen stood once again to full height, a wicked grin
creased his lips. Their gazes remained locked through the entire encounter and
even though he released her from a physical hold, Faye remained entranced by
his intent stare. A chill raced over her body, the night breeze cooling her
flesh.
How could she be aroused? Yes, he was stunning
to look at, but he wasn't human. Faye ensured she never became attracted to
anything other than a real man. After all, humans were only a source of
sustenance to vampires, nothing more. Although some vampires did cohabitate
with humans, using them as a meal replacement program until the mortal died,
either from old age or being drained in an accidental feeding frenzy. Faye
didn't fancy experiencing either fate.
