EXCERPT #1 (First
Kiss)
She
laughed and something warmed inside of him. Her dark eyes met his. “Have you
ever had a secret that involved other people, and you couldn’t share it without
exposing them? I have to be really careful.”
He
rubbed his forehead. “And swimming is going to help?”
“It
might.” She popped forward in her seat and covered his hand in both of hers.
“Tell you what? Come swim with me, and I’ll give you a free haircut.”
He
laughed again before he could stop himself. “You don’t have to bribe me for a
chance to see you in a bathing suit.”
She
flipped her hair back with a twinkle in her eyes. “Is that a yes?”
“Sure.
When?”
“After
pizza.”
“You
have a pool?”
“Yeah.
You have swim trunks?”
“Not
on me.” He couldn’t help but laugh again. “But I’m wearing boxers, will that
work?” She nodded, and he picked up his slice of pizza. “This is the weirdest
date I’ve ever been on.”
She
grinned. “I’ll take that as a compliment.”
And
it was. He’d had plenty of dates and a handful of relationships in the past,
but he hadn’t laughed this much since… Hell, he couldn’t even remember.

Lia
made Trinity swear to stay in the condo. If she was going to nonchalantly search
Cooper for a crescent-shaped birthmark, she didn’t want witnesses. Lia stepped
into the shallow end of the swimming pool, grateful it was heated. Not that
Crystal City had much in the way of seasons. It was almost always sunny, but
fall nights like tonight were chilly.
The
back door opened, and Cooper walked toward the pool. Lord. She prayed her jaw
wasn’t hanging open. His broad shoulders were muscled—heck, all of him was
covered in muscles—and his skin was tan. On his bicep, he had a single tattoo of the caduceus, which symbolized medicine
and healers.
She
forced her eyes up to his face. “Come on in. The water’s fine.”
Instead
of walking into the shallow end from the steps, he took two running strides and
dove into the deep end. He was like a sexy bullet shooting through the water,
breaking the surface right in front of her. Without thinking, she placed her
hand on his chest.
He
covered her hand with his and bent closer. “Is anyone going to come out needing
you to set an alarm?”
“I’ll
break their arm,” she said, her pulse racing.
He
smiled as he closed the distance between their lips. His kiss was warm, soft,
and knee weakening. She ran her hands up his chest, lacing her fingers around
the back of his neck as his hands caressed the small of her back. The second
her bare belly pressed against him, heat smoldered low inside of her.
Gradually,
his tongue teased her lips, coaxing her to open for him. She moaned as she
explored his mouth. He bent his knees, his hands sliding lower to grip the back
of her thighs. He straightened, lifting her as she wrapped her legs around his
waist. A rumble vibrated through his chest, and he tipped his head to the side,
deepening the kiss until every inch of her ached for his attention.
She
brushed her lips against his, her teeth catching his lower lip for a second
before she made herself pull back. Blinking her eyes open, she gasped for air.
“Okay. That was totally worth the wait.”
He
brought one hand out of the water to cup her cheek and caressed her skin with
his thumb. “Definitely.”
SYNOPSIS:
The gods never sleep…
As the mortal vessel for the Muse of Comedy, Lia Youlos lights up every room with laughter and smiles. But there are darker forces at work, and they want to snuff out her light forever.
Cooper Hanover is a hardworking paramedic who healed Lia after a fire, but something happened that day, something medical science couldn’t explain. And if he doesn’t figure out how it works soon, the next healing could kill him.
Lia’s smile and sharp wit tempt him to love again, and he’s not going to let anyone, not even the gods, take her from him.
The Prophecy – “Every generation the nine daughters of Zeus are reborn, and with their rebirth are also nine Guardians. They will be marked by the gods, and given gifts to protect his treasure. Their abilities will only be unlocked when they find their muse.”
