OMG!! I opened my email to discover my author copies of The Bond That Saves Us sitting there. I peeked over at my calendar and sure enough IT COMES OUT TODAY!!

*does a snoopy dance*

This book really was a long one in the making. Sean’s character started out as my original villain in The Bond That Ties Us. As I got further into writing that book, I realized just how much potential Sean had as a leading man. He was wonderfully screwed up as a result of the events of that story, and it took me until now to get him to a stage where I feel his character could find happiness.

Needless to say, he and Amy have a few things to work out before he gets his happily ever after.

I’m not planning any further books in the Eternal Bond series as of today. You never know if another idea will jump up and bite me though. So if there is someone out there who has a burning desire to see one of my secondary characters have a story, let me know.

For your pleasure, I’ll leave you with an excerpt. It’s a steamy one…so be warned! I hope you all enjoy the story.

Excerpt – The Bond That Saves Us

Now Available from Ellora’s Cave!

“Amy, what’s wrong?”

Her attention snapped back to Sean. He hadn’t moved or had given any indication that he’d noticed the men, but he’d obviously picked up on her discomfort. Nodding her head very slightly in their direction, she reached out and played with the hem of his shirt.

“Remember that broken arm of mine?”

“Yup.”

“Wasn’t exactly honest with how I got it.”

“Yeah, picked up on that.”

A startled laugh slipped out of her. “Really? See, this is why I could never be a smuggler. Can’t lie.”

“Is that what they wanted you to do?”

She couldn’t tell him the truth. Fuck, she didn’t want to put a complete stranger in danger’s path for no reason. That and the fact Tyrell would tear her apart. She moved closer to him, cocking her head to the side.

“Wanted me to throw the race, actually. Make sure their man won so he could clean up in the betting circuit. Though I can’t prove anything, so there’s no point in brining my complaint to the authorities.”

Sean sighed, and stepped closer to her. She could feel the heat coming off his body, the scent of his skin, sweat and musk, and it all made her dizzy. Damn, if she didn’t get settled soon, he’d start feeling the effects of her pheromones. She had no doubt that a man like Sean wouldn’t appreciate being controlled without his knowing. Still, she was fast running out of options. Without thinking she licked her lips, placed her open palm on his chest and leaned forward.

“So, is your place near here?”

“A few minutes away. They still watching?”

“Haven’t moved.”

“And they have a clear view of us?”

“Sure do. Why?”

He closed the distance between them, his mouth hot and firm against hers. The surge of blood through her body made her cunt throb and caused her to move tight against him to rub against his chest and thighs. His tongue fleetingly flicked along her bottom lip, dragging a moan from her. Gods, she had no problem imagining what that tongue would feel like lapping at her clit. How his hands would squeeze at her hips, holding her in place while he devoured her.

When he finally pulled back, it was just enough so he could speak. His hot breath tickled her skin. “Okay, now they think we’re going to be heading out for sex. I’ll get us to my quarters and call security from there.”

“No, please,” she breathed against his lips, biting down softly on the lower one. “They’ll know I’ve had something to do with it. Tyrell said he’d kill my crew if I did that.”

“Don’t worry. Taber will think of something.”

“I don’t think—”

“Amy, trust me.”

Fuck, she didn’t even know the guy, how was she supposed to trust him? Still, she felt safer with him than she did with anyone else. And he was far sight better than the two goons down the hall. Basically, she had no choice. Nothing like a no-win situation.

“We can discuss the details once we get to your place. Lead on.”
