Flash of Dark - Sara Brookes [Jan 18]
![]() Soon to be released - a new Liquid romance book Flash of Dark by: Sara Brookes ISBN: 978-1-59578-652-4 Stay tuned to this topic for all the latest on this Coming Soon Blurb: Remember when you were little and your parents told you that there were no creatures that hid in your closet? Guess what? They weren’t telling the truth. My name is Ana Sullivan and I’m one of those things that go bump in the night. Once a member of the immortal Tuatha Dé Danann that possesses a talent for stealing souls, Ana is now a dance club owner that does her best to keep a low profile. A difficult task considering her best bartender is a vampire. Her low-key life is thrown into a tailspin when she is named the prime suspect in a high profile murder. As if that doesn't complicate things enough, someone strolls right into her life uninvited and makes himself comfortable. Handsome, rich and a media darling, Stark Grantham is about as high profile as they come. Not to mention, he’s human. Stark is everything Ana has spent her life here trying to avoid. Persistent to the core, Stark isn’t about to give up easily, even when there is another murder and Ana is again named a suspect. Despite all of Ana’s warnings to stay away because she is something he can’t even comprehend, Stark is determined to not let her slip through his fingers. Ana has a toxic touch that can be lethal to mortals so will Stark’s choice be one that will cost him his life? Buy it now. Last edited by Maria; January 18th, 2010 at 06:01 PM. |

Re: Flash of Dark - Sara Brookes
Excerpt:
(unedited) "Most women would take offense to being referred to as ‘turf’.” I studied his face, his posture and even the way his hands dipped into the pockets of his jacket as if he needed to give them something to do. I understood that sensation all too well. I suddenly wanted to step closer to him and find out if he tasted as good as he looked; though I didn’t have the fainted idea of why. I wasn’t a stranger when it came to sudden bouts of dealing with the overwhelming sense of wanting to kiss someone I was attracted to, but like most people, I tamped down on those feelings. I couldn’t afford them, especially being Fae and surrounded by delicate humans. Sometimes, being around mortals too easily reminded me of my immortality. I pushed the thoughts away, making sure they were buried before I spoke again. He was perceptive and I didn’t want to give him anything that would give him power over me like that. “Good thing I’m not like most women.” “No, you certainly aren’t.” He surprised me by wrapping his hand around my elbow and while he pulled me into his embrace, his other hand curved around my jaw, cradling it in his palm. He obviously was experiencing the same pull that I was, but wasn’t bothering to smother the sensations and leaned into me. Before I knew it, warm lips closed over mine and I felt myself being swept away by the sensation of his kiss. Oh God, he did taste as good as he looked. There had to be some law against that. The hold I had been keeping on what was prowling inside me for three days burst from the bindings I had carefully erected and flowed through my entire body. Everything that I had suspected about Stark, had read and sensed about him that first night the club turned out to be absolutely true. He kissed without abandon. Drank me in as if his very life depended on that kiss. As if he simply had to have me whatever the cost. I gave myself over to him, without thought to any consequences, encouraging and enjoying the feel as we both let the kiss shift to something more. The heat that swelled surprised us both and a soft, satisfied groan rumbled in my throat. I had no idea how or why I was reacting this way to some man that I barely knew. A man I had barely talked to for a handful of moments. A man whose sweltering kiss made me want to strip all of our clothes off and mate, wild and frantic, right here in the middle of the park. A soft buzzing sounded in my ears but I blatantly ignored it even as energy began humming through my veins. It crackled with renewed energy, immediately taking on a life of its own. I tried not to give into the sensations but the addictive pull was nearly too much to take. I hadn’t felt this sensation in quite some time and the lure of it was nearly too much to take. I knew this could quickly turn dangerous, but I didn’t seem to care. Last edited by Maria; September 12th, 2009 at 04:16 PM. |
