Welcome to the Scintillating Sunday Romance Blog Hop where multiple romance and erotic romance authors share eight paragraphs of their work. It's week 35! Today we're checking out my soon-to-be released romance thriller, One True Thing. Enjoy!
Excerpt...
“You
couldn’t resist me?” There were times in life when she’d let opportunity fly
past her, clung to the rules of propriety that had been drummed into her head
since birth, but not often. Rarely, in fact. Thank God.
In one
quick move, he pulled her against his chest and devoured her lips with his.
Like a wild animal released after years in captivity, his passion overwhelmed
her, consumed her. He
fell back against the wall, lifting her closer to him, one hand at the back of
her head, the other at her hip.
Tongues clashed in an
age-old dance. Deep, low moans rattled from their chests. Her
fingers wrapped themselves in the ends of his hair; the thickness of it
intoxicated her. She wanted more, craved his heat, needed his body claiming hers,
hungered for the taste of his skin under her mouth. Thinking wasn't possible.
The
elevator doors opened with a ding.
Chests
heaving against one another, they pulled a fraction away. Breath tangled with
breath. Their eyes met, communicating surprise and regret.
“Going
down?” Pam asked from the opening of the
elevator.
“Not
quite yet,” Vanessa replied, a slow smile curving her lips as she smoothed the
velvet over her hips. “Maybe
later.”
She
looked at Nic and winked, hiding the nerves that jumped beneath her skin. When in doubt, fake an attitude. Works every time.

Power...it's a heady drug.
Vanessa Warren is America's favorite rebel. The daughter and
granddaughter of US Presidents, she grew up in the White House. A paparazzi
darling, she learned early on how to capitalize on publicity. But fame has its
drawbacks and, now an adult, she's living in Europe in an attempt to distance
herself from American politics.
But someone wants to leverage her notoriety. When her older
brother wins his party's nomination for president, a target is slapped on her
back. With every attempt on her life, his poll numbers go up and social media
goes wild. Once again Vanessa is trapped in a bubble of security, conspiracy,
and isolation...until a chance meeting on a dirt road brings her face-to-face
with a man who doesn't care about her lineage.
Dominic Piazza thrives on challenge. When he meets Vanessa,
he doesn't fully grasp the dangers of knowing her. He simply sees a beautiful
woman with more daring and depth than the world gives her credit for. But being
connected to her snares him into the crosshairs of those who want her for their
own agenda and his hotel empire is threatened with destruction.
How far will someone go to manipulate an election? If they
capture her, they control the power of the United States' Presidency. Who is behind it—her own family, an opponent,
or a terrorist organization? Is there anywhere in the world where they can be
safe?
Kobo, iTunes, and Paperback coming soon
