The first reveal of the cover for DEADLY CAPTIVE: Collateral Damage! _I am so in love with this cover. A big THANK YOU to Fiona Jayde for managing to turn the emotion from the book into a work of art. This last excerpt is a slightly rougher scene that the previous ones, so please don't read it if you have sensitive triggers. It is by no means the worst scene in the book (not by a long shot) but I thought a little punishment might be good for the impatient ;) Excerpt from Deadly Captive: Collateral Damage (Click the tiny 'read more'

2 Weeks Left until the release of DEADLY CAPTIVE: Collateral Damage! Let's celebrate with a look at the blurb and another Sneak Peek! ![]() Blurb: Stolen from a bright life full of colors, happiness and youth, Nicole Reed is dragged into a pit of pain and depravity where all she can hope for is a quick end. But her captors don't want to kill her. They want to use her to teach a little boy whom they plan to mold in their image. She must free him before that happens. Only, she can't stand against those who hold him, not alone. Her only hope is Vince, one of her tormentors, who may still show a glimmer of humanity. Or maybe that's just a trick of the light. Vince and Nicole share a cup of coffee: Small creases formed on his forehead and around his dark eyes. "Why are you 'fucked up'?" Seriously? This guy was too much. "I don't know—captivity does that to me." "You've been treated well." My brow shot up. "Have I? Well, I guess I'm being over sensitive. I kinda take basic liberties for granted. What can you do?" He stood and set down his cup. "I don't appreciate sarcasm." I took another sip and smiled. Guess he wasn't as infallible as he pretended to be. "Well, I don't appreciate being kidnapped and raped. But we don't always get what we want." "No, I suppose we don't." He traced the open collar of his black silk shirt, revealing just the top of a very hard, very well defined chest. Muscles curved in smooth slopes jumped as though my gaze was a physical touch. He chuckled and I looked up to see him watching me. "You want to hate me." "I do hate you." I shrugged at his doubtful expression. "You're just easy on the eyes. Which I'm sure you know." "Really." Without a twitch of warning, he closed the distance between us and took my cup. "Shall I prove you wrong?" I skirted away from him, ducking and skidding from the bed. I might have been prepared to let him do what he would last night, but this morning I couldn't. I wouldn't. Not without a fight. "Relax. I won't hurt you." He placed the mug on the table and then strode across the room. I swung at him and he caught my wrists. "Don't force me to tie you up." "Don'tdon'tdon't." I whimpered as he wrapped his arms around me. Tears streaked my cheeks, gathered on my lips, hot and salty. I flattened my hands on his chest and dug my nails into his skin. "Vince . . . ." "Shh." He pressed his lips to the top of my head and then bent down to whisper against my lips. "I want to show you something." _ The contract is now inked. It's official. Noble Romance Publishing will publish DEADLY CAPTIVE: Collateral Damage. I've so excited and nervous! I can't wait to share the cover with you and I'm looking into all kinds of ways to celebrate the release--which, by the way, barring natural disaster is: December 12th 2011 So soon! I almost can't wait! Well, actually, I can't wait! That's why I decided I'm going to give you a few sneak peaks, starting today! So here you go! ![]() _The comfort, the smooth ride, made me nervous. I'd stopped fighting and so had the boy. But why? "I want to see him." Vince patted my head. "You will see him. Soon." Sit. Good dog. The guy was pissing me off. I wrenched away from him, still tangled in the blanket, and rolled to my side. "I will see him. Now." One of the men snorted. I couldn't say what came over me, but the atmosphere inside the van didn't instill a need for caution. All the knives were put away. The men had relaxed. It took an effort to be afraid. Until Vince's eyes narrowed. He reached down, fisted his hand in the blanket, and jerked me up to my knees. His face right in mine he snapped. "Behave." I held my breath and waited, sure he'd slap me. Punch me. Something. For some sick reason, I craved the violence. The boy deserved more than my one, fumbled attempt. Maybe I could help him by staying alive. But I couldn't help him by doing nothing. _The blanket held my arms at my sides and my legs together. So I cracked my forehead into Vince's nose.
He grunted. Then dropped me. Watched me worm free of the blanket as he touched the blood that trickled from his nostril to his upper lip. He licked his fingers clean. I lunged. An arm barred across my bare belly. A forearm across my throat cut off my screams. Vince hissed in my ear. "You have my attention." |
