Midnight’s Master–Excerpt Back to Blog

After I posted the blurb for MIDNIGHT’S MASTER, Cheryl asked if I’d post an excerpt. The answer–sure!

Now, this is an unedited excerpt but it will give you a glimpse into the workings of, well, Niol:

* * *

How long would it take to get her out of the dress? He bet he could take her in to his office, have her naked and moaning in less than two minutes and—

“Take your hands off me.” Bright spots of color stained her ivory cheeks. She swallowed. Once, twice. “I’m here to talk to you about Carl and—”

He dropped his hands. Too many damn ears and eyes were on them. “If you’re not here to fuck, Holly, then don’t waste my time.”

Her mouth dropped open. “What?”

He almost smiled. Almost. But he had an image to maintain.

And, because of the little reporter, an aching hard-on.

“Humans who come into Paradise know the rules. They either come to play,” Yes, and the blond human in the booth to the left looked like she was having one hell of a time playing with her vampire, “or they come to be prey.” Simple enough.

Green eyes narrowed. “A man is dead, Niol. I want your help—”

He raised his hand. Snapped his fingers.

Her head jerked. “You didn’t just—”

Thomas, who’d just returned from his little errand with the vamp, marched to his side. “Boss?”

Niol did let his lips curve now. It was just too much fun. Ah, but the reporter’s cheeks were such a lovely red. “Thomas, do me a favor…” A brief pause. He could feel the eyes and ears on him. He glanced toward Holly, allowed himself one last look at that tempting body, then ordered, “Throw her pretty ass out.”

Niol…such a gentleman, huh?

    Hi, Barb! I’m glad you like the excerpt. And yes, there are some great books coming out soon–my TBR list is crazy big!

    Hey, Brandy–I’ll tell you, it leads to some drama! 🙂 The heroine was so not cool with getting tossed out of the club. I wouldn’t have been, either.

    Rhonda, I’ve got a love/hate relationship with them, too. I love to read them, hate to wait for the books.

    Thank you, Edie!! 🙂

    Hi, Jane! Thank you. I’m hoping to have some ARCs to give away a few months before release.

    I’m sorry, Greta!! The heroine gets thrown out, but it only slows her down a bit.

    LOL, Zoe–you are a woman after my own heart!

    Happy to post, Cheryl! I’m glad you like the excerpt.

    Thanks, ladies!!!
