Immortal Fire Coming February 7th!

On February 7th, Immortal Fire is releasing at Sugar and Spice Press. This one is scorching hot!!! I re-read this story yesterday and felt like I needed an air conditioner to cool me down in the dead of winter. Lol.

I wish that I could post all those places in books that really impact me, but if I did that I'd reveal too much of the book. So unfortunately, you'll have to settle for a blurb and an excerpt.

Blurb

Kai is half demon/ half human. She's only ever wanted to live as a human. The only manifestation of her father's heritage thus far has been her ability to see into another dimension and her ability to regenerate if she dies. When Kai goes looking for a new lover, she gets more than she barganed for in Donovan. He's not only one of the dispised immortals, he's got a hidden agenda, and Kai will find herself in a position to either help save two worlds of people or be destroyed by the one person she whose love she longs for.

Excerpt

“I cannot believe you dragged me here for the third year in a row, Mitzy,” Kai declared, miffed and already feeling boredom seep into her veins. They hadn’t moved past the doorway yet, but stood surveying Kai’s mother’s guests. All rich, all stuck up and none she wanted to get to know better.

“What can I say? I’m gifted.” Mitzi patted her long thin fingers on the back of Kai’s shoulder.

“Gifted.” Kai snorted. “I ought to skin you for always giving my mother hope.” Kai drifted farther into the room, tense expecting her mother to pounce with her latest husband-material human in tow.

Mitzi laughed behind her. “You’d have to catch me first.”

“Yeah. And you’d cheat. Probably turn into a cheetah or some other fast animal to get away from me.”

Her best friend chuckled, and the two of them strolled on the outer edges of the room, avoiding conversation with anyone but themselves. Kai scanned the crowd for her mother. Sure enough, a man about Kai’s height of five foot eight tagged along behind Claudia Mendel, looking too hopeful. Kai rolled her eyes then grabbed the first glass of wine that floated past her on a waiter’s tray.

She didn’t know why she had bothered to dress up. The slinky red dress and spiked heels were going to waste on this crowd. Most of the men were over fifty, and she had no interest in weak men. Yet, she’d have to choose one if she wanted a new lover, and an immortal was out of the question.

Feeling eyes on her, she scanned the room for the second time. All seemed to be absorbed in their conversations. She took a slow sip of her wine and spotted him over the rim. A good head taller than she was in her highest heels, shoulders that might block out the sun if he stood over her and eyes that were riveted to her body. She almost laughed at his boldness.

Leaning over to Mitzi and knowing she was being obvious, but not caring in the least, she whispered, “Tell me he’s not an immortal.”

“Who?” Mitzi glanced in the wrong direction.

“Two o’clock. Tall and sexy.”

When Mitzi’s eyes landed on him, she gasped.

Kai nodded. “Exactly. Well?”

“If you weren’t so closed off, Kai, you’d know whether or not he is immortal. Besides, this is a human event. Immortals weren’t invited.”

Kai grunted. “That’s never stopped them before.” She looked around to see where Bevin was and spotted him sitting in the corner, his chin tucked in his hand. He yawned, surveying the crowd. His gaze roved over the object of Kai’s lust and kept on moving. If Bevin hadn’t been alarmed, the man must be okay. Bevin, her trusty little demon bodyguard could pick up on non-humans a mile off. She wanted Mitzi’s confirmation. “Well, is he?”

Her friend seemed to be absorbed with drinking in the man with her eyes. Kai bumped her, and Mitzi snapped out of it. “Oh sorry. No, he’s normal. If hot can be normal.”

Kai set her glass down on a nearby table and swiped at the corners of her mouth. “Good, because I think I’ve just found my new lover.”

She allowed her hips a little extra sway as she strolled over to him and was gratified to see the bulge growing in his pants. Any other man would have begun to tug and try to hide it. He wore it almost like a badge of honor, daring anyone to comment. She grinned. Oh yes, he was not the average Joe.

When she drew up in front of him, she laid a hand on his chest and met his stare eye to eye. “Dance with me.”

His eyebrows shifted higher. “Commanded by a woman? I think not.”

The music for once had a good beat. She pivoted on the ball of one foot and let her body brush his as she swayed to the rhythm. “So you’ll miss the chance to caress all this?” Pushing her rounded ass out, she glanced at him over her shoulder. His eyes seemed to flash.

He took hold of her hips and began to move with her. They were too close for this particular party, but he didn’t appear to care any more than she did. “Bold aren’t you?” he commented.

She laughed. “I go after what I want. But yes, I’ve never been shy. Even with more to hang on to than I’d like.”

“Hmm?” He didn’t at first know what she meant. “Oh you mean the fact that you’re not nearly as pencil thin as your friend?”

“You obviously like it.”

He gave her a squeeze. “I most certainly do. Come back to my place. Or we can go to yours.”

“I don’t know your name.”

“So you’ll stand on ceremony?”

She shrugged and turned to face him, ran her hands up his chest until she could lock them behind his head. “No, I’d just like to know what name to shout out when you make me come. You will make me come, won’t you?” Going for broke, she thought up something more outrageous to unsettle him. “This pressing in my stomach isn’t for show is it?”

All she received in reply was a curving upward of one side of his mouth. She’d expected to have him rushing from the room with another comment or two. Only the men who didn’t have to take care of themselves in the nearest bathroom had been allowed to share her bed. She loved a man with control of himself, but not so much she couldn’t make him rock hard in the middle of a dance floor. And mystery man was most certainly stiff.

“I can tell already,” he affirmed while lowering his hands to her ass.

“Tell what?”

“That I am going to enjoy playing with you in every way possible.”
