Hi Pippa! Thanks for having me over for Tuesday Teaser. I’m pleased to present my debut novel, Haven, an urban fantasy romance. Vampires, love, and mayhem brought to you by Champagne Books. :-)
Thanks for visiting, Celia!
Haven
The Tranquilli Bloodline Series, Book 1
San Francisco nightclub owner Carina
Tranquilli works hard, plays hard, and never allows the death of her parents
and her twelve-year memory gap to get her down. But her life takes a left turn
when a witch attacks her on her twenty-fifth birthday.
Three hauntingly familiar vampires emerge
to reveal she possesses a latent power. To protect her from their enemies, they
admit to wiping her memories clean and abandoning her as a child, but now they
need her help. As she struggles to evade her new protectors and even newer
enemies, she meets Alexander, an enigmatic, undead musician. Insta-lust flares,
leaving her wanting more.
With evil’s minions hounding her every
move, and everything she thought she knew turned on its head, Carina must
harness her burgeoning power, unravel her vampire family’s web of deceit, and
fight to have a love life...without getting killed in the process.
Excerpt:
Talk
time was over. We stared. And stared. And stared some more.
His
smoky blue eyes bled to black and his power pushed at me, hot and hard, causing
a response inside me, like a rumbling volcano deep in my core. My eyes widened.
Was this the power my family had mentioned? No longer dormant and infinitely
more intense than a little static electricity in my palms.
Alexander
crushed his lips to mine. Need roared through me leaving me breathless with
edgy hunger.
My
hands burrowed into his thick, silky hair, holding his head as if he might try
to escape. He growled his approval against my lips, his kiss growing more
insistent. His tongue explored my mouth. He tasted metallic, like the blood
he’d consumed. Again, I found I liked the taste. My tongue danced with his and
delved into his mouth, searching for more penny metal flavor. He groaned and
tightened his embrace.
I
thought we’d devour each other forever, but Alexander stiffened and his head
snapped up. His eyes glinted black as night, wild with lust and...aggression?
He bared his teeth in a snarl, canines morphing into fangs. Long, sharp,
lethal.
