Forbidden
love in the fae realm…
The
Succubus Layla has one job: to pursue dreaming men. Although emotional
attachments are strictly prohibited, Layla has powerful feelings for the
Guardian of the Deep.
Samael
is a dark lord charged with maintaining order in his submerged domain. The
Guardian is enamored of Layla, and they fuel their passion in his undersea
home.
With
forces stirring against them, the fae world becomes dangerous. Samael suggests
a hideaway in the human dimension – a 1950 Montana ranch. Layla is thrilled.
They can escape the threat looming over them, and she can indulge her cowboy
fantasies with Samael.
When
Samael disappears before their rendezvous, Layla’s dream turns to a nightmare.
Peril is closer than ever. She must call on her deepest reserves and risk
everything for the truth to come out. Is her love strong enough to hold the
bond with her Guardian of the Deep?
Excerpt 1:
The
draperies swept open to reveal all the glory of the deep ocean. The
phosphorescence of seafae lit the waters.
And
there Samael glided, every bit as splendorous as the home of his heart.
Layla
moved to stand at the window and watch mesmerized as Samael cavorted among his
denizens. As happened when sea water covered him, his skin from chest downward
shimmered in vibrant jeweled tones—cerulean, purple, and green. The flecks in
his eyes sparkled, and his long dark hair with its burnished streaks streamed
out behind him. The lower half of his body had shifted to its undersea form,
that of tail and fins, a brilliant-hued merman in all his glory.
The
sight took her breath away.
Excerpt 2:
Her heart hammered at the thundering
sound of hoof beats in the distance. Over the rise came a creature she knew was
a horse, from pictures and her experiences in the dreams of men. She had never
seen a real one.
She blinked her eyes in disbelief.
Samael rode the horse. She whirled in excitement and smacked full into Bane,
who had stopped stock still.
The horse and rider headed straight at
them, a curl of rope and weapon hanging from the saddle, a rifle Layla thought.
What was Samael doing with a gun?
Relief flooded her. The best part,
other than seeing with her own eyes that he was not hurt, was her certainty he
would proclaim her innocent of any part in this abduction.
Samael would know she was innocent, wouldn’t he?
“Keep your mouth shut,” Bane hissed.
She couldn’t stand mute and let Bane
get in the first word against her. “Samael.” She rushed toward him, recoiling
when she encountered the energy field and immense bulk of his mount.
The startled horse reared up, knocking Layla
off balance. While Samael regained control of the beast, she tilted sideways
and fell into the edge of the water.
She struggled to get up but only
managed to plunk herself back down in the mud.
“Samael.” Her voice shook.
He halted the stallion within a few
feet of her as she lay sprawled in the shallow water. She flinched at the look
he tossed her from beneath his wide brimmed hat. It wasn’t the heated gaze he
usually gave her, the one that melted her insides and made it hard to breathe.
No, this was the distant stare of a stranger. A cold stranger with her lover’s
face.
