Just let me know which excerpt you like the best and post a comment. Up for grabs a copy of any of my books or a copy of I Hear Voices when it’s published early next year.

Here are a few mini excerpts:

Chapter Three:

“Stay the hell away from me or I’ll do more than stun you.”

“You try that little stunt again and I’ll put over my knee.”

“The big, scary CIA agent’s gonna spank me. Gosh, I’m trembling in my boots.”

Derek laughed. It was a masculine, mocking taunt. “When I’m done with you, you will be screaming my name and begging for more.”

Another excerpt:

What’s going on, Angel?” Sloan’s commanding tone steadied my nerves.

My voice shook, “Not sure. I triggered something.”

“You talkin’ woo-woo stuff?”

A paralyzing fear suddenly engulfed me in the raw edges of a nightmare. A hideous creature shimmered into existence and moved towards me with sharp reptilian fangs. My breath came in rasping shudders. “This is bad. This is really bad.”

“If you believe it to be real, it will become real,” Granny Annabel admonished.

Sloan snapped, “What kind of drugs are you taking Zelda?”

For a moment the impossible horror of the situation almost overwhelmed me. Then I got mad. Drugs? He thought I was taking drugs. “You’re such a dick head.” I disconnected and stuffed the phone in my backpack.

Chapter Four:

Derek regarded me with all the tenderness of a vulture contemplating lunch. “You really think you can take me on and win?”

“You mean in hand to hand combat? No, but I can win using this.” I tapped my head.

The ass threw back his head and roared with laughter. “I can find you any time, any place, Angel, and if I want to tie you up, won’t be able to stop me. You might even like it.”

Another excerpt:

“I hate, loathe and despise you.”

He winked at me. “No, you don’t.”

“Yeah, I really do,” I retorted.

He brushed the sweaty hair off my face. “You’ve got spunk but you’re outclassed, Angel. Do what I tell you and we’ll get along just fine.”

Spunk? God, what a snot wad. I dumped the contents of the bottle over his head and watched in satisfaction as the water poured down the Tomb Raider’s face. “I think you’re suffering from heat exhaustion, sugar, because you’re definitely delusional.”

Derek’s hand clamped around the back of my neck and his mouth crushed mine in a fierce, hungry kiss.

Chapter 10:

“Well, this filly has the bit between her teeth and you’re in for one hell of a ride, cowboy,” I snarled.

Derek dropped a hard kiss on my mouth. “I wouldn’t have it any other way, Angel.”

Chapter 11:

Derek examined me, like a scientist studying an interesting but odd specimen. “Are you angling for a ring, Angel?”

I gaped at him in astonishment. Marriage!? Had he gone off the deep end? Okay, he was the man of my dreams but Prince Charming he wasn’t. “Why in the hell would I want to marry you?”

“Because you’re in love with me,” the jerk answered.

Chapter 12:

“You don’t get it, do you? You belong to me now and you will do exactly what I say.”

“Get a dog. They fetch, heel and roll over on command.” I poked him the chest. “I don’t.”

Chapter 13:

“Why did you marry me?”

“Seemed like the right thing to do.”

My jaw dropped. “Are you kidding me? You don’t even like me.”

“Oh I like you well enough.”

“Be still my heart. I don’t think I can handle such flattery.”

The big jerk just laughed. “You’re one of a kind, Angel.”

Which one is the best? The suspense is killing me!
