Have you sinned? Back to Blog

Midnight Sins…available 12/08 from Kensington Brava

Atlanta police detective Todd Brooks is on the hunt for a rare killer–a female serial who leaves her male victims bound, naked, and dead in cheap hotel rooms. The twist: There’s no evidence of wounds on the bodies. It appears as if the life was just literally drained from the victims. Todd realizes the killer has to be Other–one of the many paranormal beings who walk the earth–beings that Todd has only recently discovered. The evidence in the killings soon leads him to the door of Cara Firon, a sexy club singer with secrets lurking in her sky blue eyes.

Todd falls for Cara, hard and fast, as any man would when confronted by a powerful succubus. However, Todd isn’t about to let his lust blind him to Cara’s guilt. He vows to take her, and, if necessary, take her down for the murders. What he doesn’t count on is falling for his chief suspect…

As for Cara, well, she’s not about to let some sick killer set her up for crimes that she hasn’t committed. Cara isn’t like the rest of her kind–she doesn’t want just wild, hot sex (though she does enjoy the sport); she wants love. Forever. The whole happily-ever-after that humans get. The more time she spends with her rugged detective, the more she realizes that she wants forever with him.

Unfortunately, the killer stalking the streets has other plans. If Cara and Todd can’t stop the murderer soon, then Todd may become the next victim…because the killings, they are very personal. And there is nothing like a revenge that is served up hell hot and death cold.

What you’ve just read isn’t the official back cover copy–I’ll post that a bit later (come on, it’s just January!), but I wanted to give a brief description of my succubus story. 🙂 Hope you enjoyed it!! Now, I’m afraid I must get back to a truly painful task: synopsis writing. Yeck. Not my favorite sport.

    Fab blurb! And my sympathies on the synopsis thing. Ugh. My least-favorite writing job.

  4. Edie says:

    I LOVE the blurb. This is going to sell big, Cynthia.

    I feel the same way about synopses. They’re evil. Someone who hates writers created them.

    LOL, love these comments. And I agree with all of them, Cynthia! It sounds fabulous, and sexy. There’s just something about a rugged detective…
