As an author, I’m thrilled to share my stories with you and
Evernight helps make my books shine! Here’s one reason why I love Evernight
Publishing:
Everyone
is so friendly, inquiries are answered in a timely manner. The editor I worked
with made suggestions without trying to change my voice, their covers
absolutely rock! LOL, as you can see, there are plenty of reasons to love Evernight.
Here’s a sample of my first book, Shadows of Light, from Evernight:
Blurb
Matthew
Rose is a reclusive psychic on the run from a mad psychologist. Held captive
and exploited as a child because of his ability to connect minds with serial
killers, all Matt wants now is to be free of his visions. His desire for peace
is shattered when he sees the woman from his most recent vision lying in a pool
of blood.
Adam
Rivers, the homicide detective assigned to the murdered woman’s case, quickly
realizes Matt is more than a witness. Adam fights his attraction to Matt
because he doesn’t see himself as gay.
As the
murders mount, Matt and Adam work together to defeat the killer—unaware that
the mad psychologist from Matt’s past has returned and is determined to reclaim
his prize. Can Adam keep Matt safe from the danger that surrounds him or will
he lose the man he is just now realizing he loves?
Excerpt
Adam walked out of the bathroom with
a towel wrapped around his waist. He’d obviously just gotten out of the shower
because his skin glistened.
I watched, mesmerized as a water
droplet began its slow, delicious descent from his neck, to his surprisingly
hairless chest, past the fresh bandage a nurse had just applied before leaving
the room, and down his very sexy six-pack, to the intriguing treasure trail to
disappear into the towel.
I licked dry lips, vaguely aware of
the increase in my heart rate and choppy breathing. The only thing I could
think of was following the trail of the water droplet.
Oh my, I breathed.
Adam’s towel began to tent as I
watched. Drawn like a bee to honey, I was halfway to Adam before I became aware
of it. I stopped in front of him, nervous, and reached out a hand laying my
palm on his chest. My heart was pounding as I touched an erect, brown nipple.
Adam groaned and grabbed my wrist. I
looked up at him, dazed. His lips moved but I was beyond hearing.
Must taste. The urge obliterated
everything else.
I stood on tiptoe, grabbed a handful
of his dark hair,and yanked his mouth to mine. Delighted moans filled the
silent room. Adam wrapped an arm around my waist and yanked me into all that
hard male strength. My knees buckled and my erection stretched within the
confines of my jeans.
Adam licked into my open mouth, his
tongue chasing and dominating mine. I shuddered at the heat smoldering inside
me. Pleasure flowed, heightening sensitive nerve endings. I pressed further
into Adam, trying to get as close as possible. His hands journeyed from my hips
to my bottom, kneading.
Oh god!
It was the hottest thing I had ever
felt. A whimper escaped and I felt Adam’s groan vibrate in his chest. Pre-cum
leaked from my cock. I rubbed it against his stomach to help alleviate the
pain. I’d never been so turned on in my life and it was exhilarating. I felt as
if I was flying and free-falling simultaneously through a pit of molten lava.
Adam twined his tongue around mine,
trapping it. His tongue tasted every crevice in my mouth, leaving no part
unattended. His kiss left me feeling ravished and the feeling became addictive.
I broke our kiss to gulp fresh air.
Adam rumbled his protest and one of his hands left my butt to grab a handful of
my hair and jerked me back to his lips. I had never felt so needed before in my
life and I melted into the kiss, my surrender complete. Adam snarled his
approval and tightened his grip. He staggered us to the bed. I felt him wince
and pulled back from our kiss.
“Maybe we should—” I began before
Adam claimed my lips again.
I looked down as he laid me on the
bed. Oh wow! Adam’s towel had slid to
the floor and he was enormous. His cock had to be at least eight and a half
inches long and he was thick. The mushroom-shaped tip was an angry red,
pointing straight toward me as if in silent accusation.
Fear shot through me and I scrambled
backward on the bed. What the heck do you
think you’re going to do with that thing? I shouted at him through our
bond. There was no way I was letting him get within six feet of me with that
monster leering at me.
Adam laughed and grabbed my ankles
to keep me from kicking him. He dragged me toward him spreading my thighs so he
stood between my splayed legs. He leaned down and nuzzled my neck before
placing a soft kiss there. Despite my fear, I shivered in reaction.
Is this your first time, baby? he whispered,
using our bond. Goose bumps pebbled my skin. His voice was just so…sexy and
using telepathy heightened its appeal.
I grabbed a handful of his hair and
buried my face in his neck. Shyness had overcome me and I found it difficult to
meet his gaze. My gift and the threat of Dr. Johannasan wouldn’t let me get
close to anyone. Plus I didn’t trust anyone enough to try.
Adam lifted his head and the fierce
possessiveness seared me in place. Good,
he growled. Adam lowered his head to kiss me again.

God that was a hot excerpt. Have not read too many publishers from Evernight but I do love Stacey Espino. Will definitely be adding this to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteWell, I love the covers they really do shine. I thought that all Evernight published was erotica but I found out I was wrong. I didn't know there's even a teen selection, rather teen section.I have seen a variety of books and even short stories. I have found so many books that honestly it's hard to pick my favorite. I love books on shifters. I would love to read Knowing Destiny but I need to read them in order so I think Fighting Destiny by Tasmin Baker. I definitely want to read these books.
ReplyDeleteI also have a few more in mind like Something Shifty by Erin M. Leaf. I'm really excited about discovering Evernight, I hope when I send my book to Evernight they will like it and publish it.
I appreciate the fact that Evernight has such a variety of genres to tickle everyone’s fancy.
ReplyDeleteI came across a free read titled Welcome to the Dark Side that I thoroughly enjoyed… It was different - a good different.
