She walks in beauty . . . That describes the heroines from both books in my “Prices Slashed” book tour. Rae Bordon (MIDNIGHT MASQUERADE, “Touched by Midnight” vampire series- $.99!) and Charlotte Caissie (REMEMBERED BY MOONLIGHT, “By Moonlight” shapeshifter series-$1.99!) are both fiercely dedicated detectives forced to step outside the boundaries of the job to protect those they love in a world beyond anything they ever imagined. Vampires, shapeshifters . . . what’s a girl to do but hang onto her cool and wade right in like a boss.
Meet Rae Bordon in today’s excerpt. She’s undercover at a high-class D.C. nightclub offering ala carte (and other worldly) surprises to their wealthy clientele when in-over-his-head newly hired Louisiana attorney Nick Flynn recognizes her from the tragic scene of last week’s snippet’s shocking events. She’s not what he expected . . .
The surprise stopped him dead in his tracks.
The woman from the Grovers’s house. How could he mistake those incredible green eyes?
He hadn’t thought her particularly glamorous that first meeting where she’d looked like a long night on the Red-Eye, but here, under the muted pseudo-candle glow of the Noir, she sparkled, a jewel reflecting flame.
He hadn’t remembered her as being particularly tall. Perhaps it was the dress, a sheath of liquid bronze cut to the navel and slit up to the hip bone, in combination with stiletto heels. The unashamedly broad shoulders bared and equal to carrying any burden, or the blazing glory of her hair, teased up to the envy of any country singer and highlighted with a dusting of winking glitter. But despite a statuesque build, the eye-popping display of bosom, legs that went on longer than most new television series and the glam clothes, there was a hint of vulnerability in the pale shade she’d chosen to shape the line of her lips, a fragility to the porcelain fairness of her skin even as it soothed over nicely defined muscle. And there was a glint of the dangerous in those constantly moving emerald eyes.
Here was a woman he wanted to know.
Not only in over his head, but soon to be sucked into (snort!) things way above his pay grade, things like blackmail and betrayal on a seductively dangerous preternatural level that he’s bound to in blood.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Elyzabeth! But is what he's seeing real?

ReplyDeleteWonderful description.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a woman you've described. I can see how he'd want to get to know her. Take her home to mom, though? Not so much.
ReplyDeleteThis guy's got a nose for the dangerous. Even he knows it and he's not backing down. Gutsy. Now, what next? Great snippet.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds completely fabulous. No wonder he's intrigued!
ReplyDeleteGreat imagery! I'm a bit intrigued myself. :)
ReplyDeleteI am in awe of the way you describe her. No simple description of how she looks and what she's wearing. Wow.
ReplyDeleteWow - that was fabulous. Loved - a sheath of liquid bronze cut to the navel :-)

ReplyDeleteSo, I'm straight, but even I'm having second thoughts thanks to your description! ;)
