READ ON TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HER BOOK:
Blaze
Knight has been through hell and back, but the nightmares aren't over yet.
Five
years after Blaze was maimed by Cyrus Chimola, a powerful vampire with a
penchant for torture, he’s still trying to pick up the pieces of his shattered
life. As a genetically engineered mercenary with the ability to bend fire to
his will and to see in infrared, Blaze’s mission is to
protect what’s left of humanity. When Chimola and his crew return to the Bronx
gunning for Blaze’s blood, Blaze is forced to face the demons of his past.
Hell-bent on revenge, he seeks the help of Valerie Medeiros, an NYPD detective
who manages to steal his heart and save his life in more ways than one.
Motivated
by her sister’s gruesome death, Valerie has made it her life’s goal to bury
every vampire in the ground where they belong. When she brings in Blaze Knight
for suspected murder, she discovers he’s not only innocent, he isn't a man at
all—he's a half-vampire hybrid working with a band of brothers for the U.S.
military. Valerie has a hard time trusting anything with fangs, yet she quickly
falls headlong into Blaze’s life, a life full of darkness and horror she can’t
even begin to fathom. The bodies are stacking up, but Valerie can’t seem to let
go of this hybrid, a beautiful monster filled with pain, rage, and passion
unlike anything she's ever known.
In a
world where the line between good and evil is blurred, Blaze and Valerie will
find danger at every turn, risking everything they’ve come to know and love,
including one another.
EXCERPT FROM RELEASING THE DEMONS:
His
body hardened, his heart thudding in his chest. If that wasn’t enough, the
stirring low in his belly sure as hell was.
He
wanted her. Badly.
And
so did the leech inside him.
“Blaze?”
She peered at him with concern, taking a step closer.
He
snapped out of it, realizing she’d asked him something he completely missed.
“Huh?”
“Do
you want some coffee? Something to drink? Eat?”
Yeah,
you. He
swallowed his saliva, straightening. “I should get going.”
“Oh.”
She tried to hide her disappointment but she was bad at it. She wants you to
stay. “Where are you heading?”
“Probably
home for a few hours. Rest up a bit.” And drink about a gallon of blood
while thinking of you. “You know.”
Valerie
set what he assumed was the bag of coffee on the counter. She took another step
toward him as a wave of jasmine swept over him, tugging him in places he
shouldn’t be tugged.
He
took a reflexive step back. Goddamn it, he was fine. He’d been fine
right up until now. What the hell just happened?
Bad
idea, Blaze. Bad fucking idea to starve yourself and walk into her apartment at
dusk, with that body, and that face, and those eyes, and that smell . . .
“I’ll
show myself out.”
She
looked entirely confused as he turned away and headed for the door. Christ, he
was acting like he’d never been in a woman’s apartment before, and God knew
he’d been in many. But he’d never been this hungry around a woman before—at
least, not in ordinary circumstances. And he wasn’t famous for his control.
He
could feel it, that ugly darkness inside him spreading through his veins,
making his lips and toes tingle. The leech opened its jaws and yawned, sucking
down what was left of his civility. His gums tightened, squeezing his canines,
urging them to grow, to elongate.
To
spring free.
“Blaze—”
He
needed to get out. Now.
“I’ll
see you in the morning,” he ground out, his voice a near growl. “Good night,
Val.”
He
slammed the door behind him and managed to stagger ten paces down the hall
before his limbs stopped working. Sweat dripped down the sides of his face and
trickled down his spine. His hands shook and he clenched them into fists. He
stood there, chest heaving, heart pounding, fangs pulsing, cock throbbing. He
closed his eyes and lifted his face toward the ceiling, trying to wrestle the
monster down, trying to beat it back into submission.
But
it was already too late.
Through
the din in his head, Blaze heard a door click behind him, disengaging from its
frame. It creaked open slowly as jasmine slithered through the hallway toward
him, rising up and striking at his senses, delivering the final blow. He craned
his neck and spotted her.
Valerie’s
blond hair fell in a curtain as she peeked out, looking for him. Her eyes
widened when she found him, still standing in the corridor, and she quickly
retreated.
“Sorry,”
she murmured, but before she could close the door, he was already there, his
hand propped against it.
She
looked at him in pleasant surprise. “Blaze, I—”
He
didn’t give her a chance to finish. He seized her mouth with his before he
slammed the door behind him and locked it shut.
