Her Demonic Angel - First draft progress and an introduction to the hero and heroine!

I should have updated my blog earlier about my progress on Her Demonic Angel but I've just had one of those weeks where it's been one thing after another and I haven't really been in a writing mood. I was off on Monday, having a day with my husband, in which we managed to watch three movies at the cinema. Impressive! I was so tired by the end of it and had to drive back in fog and icy conditions. Not fun.

Tuesday my husband was at home and I can't concentrate when he's around, so I didn't write. Instead I filled my day with making adverts for websites and dealing with everything else I normally neglect in favour of writing.

Wednesday I was finally able to get back to writing but it was a strange day as I spent most of it at the hospital waiting on my appointments ahead of my next ear operation this month. Not fun, again. I make a point of never reading while I'm writing as I find I'm easily influenced by what I read and end up writing like someone else. I had been reading over what I had written of Her Demonic Angel and I had another 30 pages to read post-ear-appointments so I felt it was safe to stick my nose in a book on my phone. I was there so long that I had read 60% of the book by the time I was free to go.

I hit the cafe and finally wrote the first love scene in Her Demonic Angel. I always find the first love scene is the most difficult one to write as it establishes the whole dynamic between the couple when it comes to lovemaking. This one was pretty deep, quite primal and very sexy.

I finished reading the book I had begun in the hospital over breakfast this morning, getting it out of the way, and hit the cafe to get some more writing done. I feel I've been quite slow with this book. A little out of sorts and unsure over the past few writing outings to the cafes. I'm second guessing everything I write and that isn't like me. I need to get my confidence back a little. Reading the book back normally does that for me and I do feel it's pretty damn good so far, but I'm still a little on edge about it. I feel I'm being really slow but when I finally stopped writing, I had done 11000 words. Sure, it was over a 6 hour period, but it's still a fairly good word count for the day. I'm now at 53000 words in the book and things are really taking shape now and some pretty huge stuff as happened, and is about to happen too. I have 8 more writing days available before my ear operation takes me out of action for a couple of weeks. I have to get other stuff done too, but I think I can get this book completed in first draft and that will be a weight off my mind. I'm sure my slowness and weird feelings are just because I'm feeling quite stressed by the short and looming deadline, and my impending operation.

I promised to share some Veiron teases in this blog post, so I've dug out some very Veiron moments. I've also dug out some very Erin moments...


Erin first...

Erin's better judgement said not to but she slipped her trembling right hand into his and stepped away from the edge. She looked up into his eyes. They glowed red around the edges and in the centre too, highlighting his wide pupils. His gaze locked with hers and rocked her with a jolt that reached right down into her soul.

"What's your name?" she whispered, captivated by his eyes and lost in them. They had more power over her than the Devil's had. She wanted to stare into the flaming depths for all eternity.

"Veiron," he husked, his warm breath caressing her face, and Erin's senses came alive, lighting up like an electrical storm. His masculine scent of dirt, aftershave and fresh sweat filled her nostrils. The warmth of his hand clasping hers heated her right down to her bones. The sound of his voice made her blood burn to hear him speak again. Her gaze delighted in discovering every tiny fleck of fire in his dark irises. The only sense left was one that cried out for a taste of him.

She might be losing her mind, but she knew without a doubt that she wanted this man.

And Veiron... his scene is a bit longer, because I'm loving this former good guys internal debates. He's so fun to write. He's with Erin in a small cave, and she's confessed she always has nightmares when she sleeps, so she doesn't want to sleep.

"You didn't have a nightmare when you were in my arms." He wasn't sure why he put that one out there. Tormenting himself? He was the big bad hero who chased away little Erin's nightmares and made everything right. Her knight in tarnished armour. Yeah, right. It didn't matter what he did. As soon as she realised he was one of those bastards she hated so much, it would be game over and goodbye Veiron. Kill it before it started. It was the only way to save himself.

"I didn't. Can I sleep next to you?"

"Sure." Way to resist and keep that all necessary distance between them. What was it about this woman that had him going against his better judgement?

Erin moved closer, flashed him a tired but grateful smile, and settled on her side with her head on his thigh. Hell. He warned the part of his anatomy that she had chosen to snuggle up right next to not to get ideas. Those dirty thoughts spinning out of control in his mind were not going to happen.

Do not touch her. Do not lay a hand on that smooth but dirty slender arm of hers and stroke it to see if her skin felt as soft as it looked. Do not.

Veiron ran his fingers along the length of her arm.

"Veiron," she whispered, his name like ambrosia to his aching soul as it fell softly from her lips. "I can't sleep. Talk to me."

"What about?" Any subject but himself. Keep it professional. Keep some distance. Any subject but himself.

"About you."

"Sure." Fuck. Why didn't he smash his fist through his ribcage and tear out his heart right now to save himself the inevitable pain in his future?

"Are you fallen?"

He grimaced.

"You don't have to answer that if you don't want to," she said and tipped her head up, rolling slightly onto her back so she was looking at him. "Tell me if I'm being too nosy."

He didn't want to answer it, and she damn well was being too nosy.

"I am," he said rather than refusing her and wished she would go to sleep. He shouldn't have woken her. He should have tried to carry her down the slope. He might have made it to the ledge even with her extra weight rather than tumbling into a volcanic abyss.

Veiron looked down at the bubbling flame-filled plain below. Fiery painful death was beginning to look good but dying was off the menu. Not going to happen. Death meant rebirth, and rebirth meant a return to Heaven and forgetting everything until he fell again.

Did you enjoy your Erin and Veiron moments? Looking forward to the book now? I'd love to know!

Teaseday - Heart of Darkness - vampire romance book

I've been busy today doing the not-so-fun parts of being a writer, like putting together prize packs for winners, creating adverts for websites, and other general admin stuff. I need a pick me up so I've gone to one of my favourite novels, Heart of Darkness, and have chosen a beautiful moment between the vampire prince hero, Aleksandr, and his vampire guard heroine, Elise, for my Teaseday this week.


HEART OF DARKNESS - TEASER

She chafed her hands to keep the cold off them. Aleksandr stopped, removed his long coat, and placed it around her shoulders.

"You are injured, you need this more than I do." She went to take it off but his grip on her shoulders tightened, not allowing her to.

The look in his eyes said not to refuse him this kindness. She lowered her head, ashamed that she didn't have the strength to go against him. His white shirt and trousers wouldn't keep him warm and he needed his energy to heal. She lifted the coat so the hem didn't drag on the damp floor as she walked with him. She would wear it a while and find a way to convince him that she was warm enough and he could have his coat back, even though she was freezing.

Elise stopped walking again. What was wrong with her? Most women would be pleased by his attention so why did she fight him so much? She wasn't trying to refuse his kind offer of his coat because he would be cold and he was injured. She wanted to refuse it because she feared the attention from him. Was she really so afraid of losing her heart to him that she was going to push him away and give up whatever small chance she had with him? It was childish of her to fear such things and to flee his attention. She was in love with him and wanted him more than anything. Any other woman in the world would take whatever he could offer her even if it was only for a short time. Why wasn't she brave enough to do that?

"Is something the matter?" Aleksandr came back to her, concern in his grey eyes.

Elise cast her gaze downwards and then around her at the garden. It was beautiful tonight. The path glittered like a million diamonds under the white lights around the garden. The heavy clouds carried the scent of snow. The frost on the grass sparkled. It was beautiful and she was ruining what could have been a romantic moment by over-thinking it and fearing her love. She should have been embracing it. She had always thought herself brave but she was a coward. She feared giving her heart to Aleksandr because she believed he wouldn't give his in return.

"Nothing at all." She made herself look at him and see him for once. He was handsome, powerful, and he made her feel as no other man in the world had. She wanted him and she only had to say the word and she would have him. "I'm afraid I'm not much company."

He smiled, wide and charming, a remnant of how he'd looked so many times since they had first met.

"You are more than enough company. We will only walk to the main fountain and back. You needn't fear. I do not plan to whisk you into the darkness and have my way with you."

Elise frowned at him. Why not? Perhaps she wanted him to whisk her away and make love to her. Couldn't he see that in her eyes or hear it in the tremulous beat of her heart?

She looked ahead at the larger fountain at the head of the long rectangular pond. The white-lit jet of water reached high into the air and thundered down, punching a hole in the ice. It wasn't a long walk at all to there and back. Maybe she wanted to be out with him longer than that.

Maybe he didn't want to be with her longer than that though. Was he in a hurry to get back to Ladislav and his brother? Or was it the women who awaited him there who had his attention?

She huffed and walked on at a brisk pace. Aleksandr caught up with her and she tried to ignore him, wanting their walk to be over quickly, but he captivated her. He strode beside her, his chin tilted up and his focus on the distance. Her heart beat faster at the sight of him. She wanted him.

He was gone.

Elise frowned and then bit her lip to stop herself from laughing when she looked down and saw him sitting in the middle of a sheet of ice. The water from the main fountain sprayed towards them, causing a slick on the path in the chill night air.

"Are you hurt?" she said in a tight voice, barely able to contain her laughter.

"Only my pride," he muttered and cast a dark glare at the ice and then looked up at her. "It is good to see you smile. Shall I stand and slip again?"

She shook her head. "No, I don't want you hurting your shoulder."

Elise offered her hand to him. He took it, gripping her close to her elbow, and she grasped his forearm. A vampire with his skill shouldn't have fallen so easily, at least not if they had been paying any attention at all to their surroundings. She had sensed the danger of the ice before they had reached it. Why hadn't he?

He pulled himself onto his feet and ended up very close to her, so near that his legs were against hers. Elise tilted her head back and met his gaze. There was warmth in his eyes, a hint of a smile that brought hers back out again.

"What were you thinking to fall like that?"

His smile widened. "I believe I was attempting to impress you by appearing noble and handsome."

Elise laughed. Aleksandr didn't.

She fell quiet, realising that he had been serious. A smile worked its way back onto her lips.

"You looked very noble on your backside," she said almost under her breath.

He laughed and she realised that it was the first time she had heard him laugh properly without bitterness or forcing it. It had a nice timbre to it and warmth that made her want to giggle along with him.

Aleksandr stopped laughing and looked up at the sky. Elise followed his gaze and her lips parted when she saw the large flakes of snow falling from the darkness. Each flake caught in the white lights illuminating the garden. There was something magical about snow at night when it floated and swirled its way down to the ground on a light breeze. It enthralled her but not enough that it stopped her from looking at Aleksandr. He was watching the snow, a beautiful look of fascination on his face. Why did she resist him so much?

It dawned on her that it wasn't just the fact that he might leave her. It was his strength that frightened her. She feared that he would control her and change her.

He already was changing her.

Aleksandr looked down at her, the fascinated look in his eyes increasing and then changing to hold a spark of warmth and desire, passion that called to her own and filled her mind with erotic images of them together.

"You brought the snow with you," she whispered, unable to tear her eyes away from his and unafraid of anything that might happen.

He smiled, his perfect sensual mouth enticing her, and said, "I am not that cold."

Elise swallowed when he feathered a caress down her cheek and along her jaw to her neck. A shiver danced through her and her body responded, heating outward from her core. His touch ran so deeply, as though he was reaching down to her heart. She wanted to resist but there was black magic in it, a spell that she could only respond to.

His fingers paused on her throat, his gaze intent on it.

"I want you," he whispered and Elise could feel the depth of his desire, could sense his body calling to hers.

Aleksandr removed his hand and she felt bereft and cold. She didn't understand. He wanted her so why was he distancing himself?

"In time, you will come to me willingly, without fear or reservation. That is the only way that I want you." He leaned in and disappointment flooded her when he only kissed her cheek.

Her eyes closed and she stood there with his lips against her cheek and her heart crying out for more. His breath teased her neck and she shivered again.

"Tell me you want me too and that this is not a fool's game," he whispered in a strained voice and she sensed the switch in his emotions, feeling the same intense vulnerability she had this morning when they had been together in his rooms. "I never lose but I am beginning to think that I might lose my hunt for you. You are wily prey who outwits me at every turn."

He sighed and ran his hands down her arms to hers, taking hold of them and placing her right one on the hilt of his dagger where it hung at his hip and her other hand against his chest.

"Kill me now if that is your intent," he murmured into her ear. Her heart raced. He couldn't be serious. "Silence me forever if you could never love me."

Heart of Darkness
Felicity Heaton
A vampire prince on a four hundred year old mission to avenge his murdered sister...

Aleksandr Nemov won't stop until the last of the vampire hunter's progeny is wiped from the Earth. Each kill has stolen a piece of his humanity, pushing him towards the black abyss all vampires hold within their hearts. Now he is teetering on the edge, close to devolving into a beast, and time is running out as he tracks the last hunter to Prague. There he finds a beautiful woman who could be his one chance for salvation, but is it already too late for him?

A vampire guard who will do whatever it takes to protect those she loves...

Elise is dedicated to her duty. It's the only thing she has left. All that changes when she meets Aleksandr in Prague and her master grants him permission to stay at her bloodline's mansion. She knows all about Aleksandr but none of it prepares her for how she feels when the legendary prince's hunt becomes one for her heart. Elise battles him with all of her strength but can she stop herself from falling for the handsome hunter? When he reveals the depth of the corruption in his soul, will she have the strength to face the pain in her past and do whatever it takes to save him?

Sunday Snippets from my paranormal romance books

Look, I've made it two Sundays in a row with my Sunday Snippets. Now that I have a schedule for them, I don't have an excuse for not posting them.

I'm going to share another snippet from my latest erotic vampire romance novella, Covet , the first book in my new Vampire Erotic Theatre romance series , as I'm very into this series at the moment.

Javier's gaze fell to her mouth.

He wanted to kiss her. His blood burned with the need until it bordered on controlling him but couldn't bring himself to go through with it. To kiss her would be to violate her. Not the bond with her master, but her purity. Just the thought of her soft mouth on his made him feel like a beast. If he kissed her, he wasn't sure he could retain control.

"What's wrong?" she whispered and he heard the hurt in her voice, saw it in her beautiful golden eyes when his leapt to them. Her eyebrows furrowed and she touched his cheek, fingertips burning his flesh, the scent of her blood filling his senses. His fangs dropped, pressing against his lips. He saw in her eyes the moment his changed, bloodlust swamping his irises and turning his pupils elliptical.

He raised a trembling hand and ran his thumb across her lower lip, and even that small caress was almost too much for him, branding her name on his soul.

"I want to kiss you," he uttered and her eyes dropped to his mouth. "Would you let a monster like me ruin you?"

I hope you enjoyed this Sunday Snippet!

Six Sentence Sunday - A sexy snippet from Her Guardian Angel - angel romance novel

My Six Sentence Sunday today is from my previous release, Her Guardian Angel, the fourth book and first novel in my best selling Her Angel romance series.

Please take a moment after reading and commenting (comments are nice) to visit the Six Sentence Sunday site to find the other great authors who are participating, or check out the #sixsunday tag on Twitter!

A little scene setting: Marcus is an angel charged with the task of watching over Amelia, a mortal female. When she's attacked by demons, Marcus saves her and reveals his true identity in the process. The scene takes place in Amelia's inner world, where she has been sent to shield her from being detected by the forces after her, and she's been swimming with Marcus and they're together in the warm moonlit water.

Marcus ran his tongue along the seam of Amelia's mouth and she opened to him, her tongue coming out to play with his and tease it inside. He slanted his head and claimed her mouth, plundering it with his tongue and drawing another heated groan from her.

She shifted against him, pressing closer until her warm body was flush against his, driving him mad with the need to caress every inch of her, to taste her and seek out her sensitive spots with his lips. The water lapped at his waist, knocking against him, and he turned with her and carried her back to the beach.

The moment he was clear of the water, he laid her down on the hard sand and covered her body with his. The heat of her overwhelmed him, pushing his desire to new heights, and he moaned into her mouth as she scored her nails over his scalp and then tangled her fingers in his hair, anchoring him to her.

I hoped you all enjoyed it!


Her Guardian Angel
Felicity Heaton
A simple mission becomes a fight for survival in this fantastic instalment in the Her Angel series.

A guardian angel dedicated to his duty, Marcus will do whatever Heaven asks of him, but even his loyalty has its limits. When his superior orders him to gain Amelia's trust through seduction, Marcus starts to question his mission and his feelings for the beautiful woman he has watched over since her birth.

Amelia has gone from one bad relationship to another, so when a gorgeous guy moves in next door looking like Mr Right, she hopes he doesn't turn out to be another black knight in disguise. But there's more to Marcus than meets the eye, and when he rescues her from three demonic men, Amelia is thrust into his nightmarish world—a world where God and the Devil exist, and only one angel can save her from death—Marcus, the angel she's falling in love with.

On the run from demonic angels and the Devil himself, aided by Marcus's angel friends and their amazing women, fighting for survival against the odds, Marcus and Amelia discover a love that will last forever.

A love so strong it will shake Heaven and Hell.

Saturday Snippets from my Paranormal Romance Books

Yes, it's back as promised! I am feeling super tired today but I wanted to keep my promise and post a Saturday Snippet! As always, it's a short snippet of a scene from one of my paranormal romance books.

Today I'm offering a snippet of a scene from Her Guardian Angel , the fourth angel romance book in my best selling Her Angel romance series .

Marcus rolled onto his back, bringing her with him, and stopped kissing her. He frowned at the duvet wedged between them and tugged at it. Amelia raised herself so the blanket came free and then sighed when he pulled her back against him, his bare body warming hers. It was so easy to forget everything when he kissed her. He wasn't an angel and she wasn't in danger. It all seemed so distant and irrelevant.

She kissed him again, teasing him with sweeps of her lips that barely grazed his. He made a short noise of frustration, snaked his hand around the nape of her neck, and brought her mouth down on his. The kiss was fierce and hungry, everything that she had come to think of whenever her mind turned to him. There was so much passion and desire in him, but such tenderness too. He had held her close to him in that other world, lying on his back with her body half on his and his fingers playing in her damp hair. She had felt so tremendously at peace with him there and she had known the depth of his feelings for her. It transcended such a simple word as care. It even went beyond what she knew as love. And it was something that burned deep within her too.

Marcus's hands skimmed down her bare thighs and she tingled wherever he touched, sparks racing over her skin and burrowing deep into her belly where they blazed into desire.

She loosed a moan and deepened the kiss, so their tongues softly danced and their breath mingled.

She wouldn't say no to a real-world encore to last night.

He stiffened beneath her, hands grasping her upper arms, and pushed her backwards. She was going to ask what was wrong but the way he stared at the closed bedroom door held her tongue. She listened, straining to hear what he had, if anything at all.

Marcus lifted her off him and rose from the bed, his back to her. He stood there, stock still and never once taking his eyes off the door. Had he heard something? It was probably just Taylor and Einar.

The sense of danger drifted away at that thought and she swept her gaze up Marcus, lingering a moment on his backside and the material that loosely covered it before continuing to the dimples above his bottom and finally following the strong line of his back up to his shoulder blades.

Her gaze tracked the grey-blue swirls of the wings marked on his skin.

A curse.

Someone had wanted to seal his power and he wasn't sure why.

Did it have something to do with her, so they could take her from him?

I hope you enjoyed this Saturday Snippet!
