Special Excerpt : 
Thanks so much for having me today! You caught me in a bit of a fun mood, so I’m going to leave a different kind of excerpt. Instead of the first few paragraphs of the novel, I’m taking you to the middle of Last Vamp Standing, after Dante, the tortured hero, has been wounded while protecting Ariana, the vampire elder heroine. She’s able to pull energy from her haven and heal others. She’s healing Dante, sparking his muscles back to life, and lifts the sheet
off his lap…

------------------------------

     “Good Lord,” she whispered, cupping her hand to her mouth.

      Her gaze shot to his. She gasped, letting the sheet drop against him.

     “Oh, you’re, ah, you’re awake,” Ariana stumbled. “I didn’t think—”

She tried to dart off the bed, but thanks to the magic behind her touch, the strength in Dante’s upper body had returned. In a surge of speed, Dante swung Ariana over the top of him. Her body was warm—just as warm as he’d imagined it to be—her breath coating his face in a rich wave of sugary sweetness.

     “Let me go,” she said, but her words lacked conviction. And she didn’t move a muscle.

     “Not yet.” He maneuvered her legs so she was lying over him hip to hip, chest to chest. The pressure of her body felt oddly comforting. Like he’d fly off the mattress without her to ground him there. The fact that only a sheet separated their bodies added gasoline to his smoldering fire.

     Ariana propped herself on her hands. “How long have you been awake?”

     “Not long. Just enough to catch a glimpse of your voyeurish ways.” He laughed as she smacked him in the chest. “There are places you can go to get help with that, you know.”

     She tsk’d in disgust and pushed against the arms he’d wrapped behind her back. If she wanted off the bed, he’d release her no problem. But there was not a hint of fight in her eyes, and a blush had crept to her cheeks.

     “I was only checking to see if you were healing properly.” She cleared her throat awkwardly—the mark of a truly horrible liar. “To see if you had movement in your legs.”

     “You definitely got something moving, but it’s not my legs.”
