Book Description:
Anna Frost had a bad feeling when her twin sister, Liz, told her she’d run off with a member of the notorious Otherworld biker gang, the Blood Ravagers. And her unease skyrockets when her sister subsequently vanishes. The police have no authority and little interest, so Anna decides to take matters into her own hands by infiltrating the group to discover for herself what happened to Liz, where she meets….
Dante, half demon, half human. A mix of two worlds, accepted by neither, he’s had no choice but to learn the hard way how to play whatever side of the fence kept him alive during his nearly 500 years of existence. Now, as second-in-command of the Blood Ravagers biker gang, his survival depends on keeping his humanity a secret. Dante’s ultimate goal is to fulfill the vows he made over two centuries ago to create a world where half-breeds can live in safety and equality.
But when sheltered schoolteacher Anna finds unexpected, white-hot passion in the arms of Dante, will her quest for the truth cost him more than he ever bargained for? Or will they find a way to save Liz – and their love – together?
Excerpt 2:
“Do you know why they call this
place Seven?”
“It’s the magic number?”
His expression remained flat.
Anna cleared her throat, doing
her best to hide the fact her knees were quaking. “Something to do with poker,
maybe?”
The man released her arm and
stepped closer. For each step he took, she retreated, until the cold stone wall
pressed against her back, preventing escape. He stopped several inches in front
of her, the intense heat of him searing her front. Close enough for her to
smell his scent—cloves and smoke and clean, aroused male. Once upon a time, he
would’ve been exactly the kind of guy she would’ve gone for—all dark and erotic
and alpha sexy. The kind of man who filled her dark fantasies, who would take
control and appease her secret cravings for pain while giving her the ultimate
pleasure in return.
She gasped and shrank away.
No one knew about her fetishes.
Those she kept private and locked away.
They were far too dangerous.
Just like her past, her talents,
her true essence.
“Seven is indeed a magic number.
But not in the way you think.” Frowning, he reached out and toyed with a lock
of hair from her wig, then traced a fingertip down her cheek. The crimson
flames flared hotter in his eyes before vanishing once more—tempting, elusive,
hypnotic. “Are you familiar with the Nine Circles of Hell?”
“The Inferno, you mean?” Yeah,
she’d read it. Back in high school or maybe college, she couldn’t remember.
Couldn’t seem to concentrate on anything except his fingertip on her
skin—stroking, stroking, stroking.
“Yes.” He smiled again, slowly,
his voice emerging as little more than a purr. Thick, hot lust pooled low in
her abdomen at the sensual promise in his tone. Anna shouldn’t want this,
shouldn’t want him, but she did. “Pleasure and pain.”
“What?”
“To experience extreme pleasure,
one must first endure pain.”
It was as if her soul had been
laid bare before him. She’d never told anyone about the cutting, had hidden her
scars for years. Never told anyone about her overwhelming desire to submit, to
have someone else take charge for a while, take away her burden of
responsibility—if only for a few blissful hours—and just allow her to feel, to
be, to live. Live like she had before tragedy had struck and she’d set aside
her wants and needs for the greater good…
The more he talked the more her
traitorous body fell under his spell. Moisture gathered between her legs and
her nipples hardened against the soft cotton of her shirt. Anna couldn’t
remember ever being this turned on.
Thankfully, he walked away before
she climaxed on the spot.
“What does this bar have to do
with the circles of hell?” she asked, once she could breathe.
“Number seven.”
“What?” She glanced toward the
window again, considered jumping then decided breaking both of her legs
probably wouldn’t help her escape.
A loud crack snapped through the
room.
Oh,
Lord.
The man had a whip. Her tingling
knees threatened to buckle.
“The seventh circle of
hell.” He wrapped the leather fall
around his hand. “Violence. This club. Seven. It is home to all the most
interesting sinners.”
Okay. Yeah. She had to escape Mr.
Tall, Dark, and Dominant before she was kneeling at his feet, begging him for
mercy. “Maybe I should leave now?”
“Yes.” He stood a good foot
taller than her five-foot-three-inch height and his shoulder-length black curls
all but begged her to tousle them, begged her to fist them tight in her hands
while he beat her then fucked her silly. Her fingers twitched as he leaned
closer, his breath ghosting across her cheek as he whispered, “Yes, perhaps you
should, tu effapyfs.”
