Teaser and Trailer!

Morning all,

 

I thought I’d kick off Friday (in Aussieland) with a teaser from Tears of Tess and the finished TRAILER!  

 

Here’s the Trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI1azW2ydUo&feature=youtu.be

 

And here’s the Teaser: 

 

Q stepped from the ruined jeans, closing the small distance between us. I couldn’t look away from his tattoo. I related to it and in a way, I knew what it represented, but the conclusion kept leaping from grabbing distance.

Rolling hips into mine, wearing only boxer briefs, Q murmured, “Tell me again you don’t want this, esclave.”

How could I lie when my body screamed the truth? My mind was lust filled, hazy, but I had a part to play. Q wanted me to fight so… I fought.

I leaned forward, snapping my teeth, coming within a hair breadth of his nose. “Go to hell.”

His cock jumped in his boxer-shorts, scalding me. Out of nowhere, his palm connected with my cheek, sending spasms of heat.

I gasped, glaring with watering eyes. “You fucking hit a woman when she says no? You’re perverted.”

He pursed his lips. “Tell me something I don’t know.”

Taking him up on his offer, I whispered, “You think you’re a monster. You’re not.”

He grabbed my hair, twisting my neck. Agony flared, and I whimpered in real fear. “Would a kind man do this?”

When I didn’t answer, he twisted further until I screamed. “No! Only a monster does that.”

Not pacified, he reached for the scissors, quickly snipping my knickers and his boxers. They fluttered to the floor in pieces. Q weighed the scissors in his hand, before tracing my naked stomach with the blade. “Would a kind man do this?” With a flick of his wrist, he nicked me. Blood welled in the tiny cut. I shivered, wanting to put my hand over the wound, to hide it, heal it.

Real tears dripped. I was an idiot to think there was something redeemable in this man.

“No, only a monster would do that.” My voice barely audible.

Q sneered. “Now you know the truth.” He bent and licked the blood off my stomach. His tongue lapped; my core clenched, reacting to the tenderness after inflicting pain. His saliva staunched the bleeding and he straightened, licking his lips.

Everything tightened, my mouth parted, desperate to taste his blood. Tasting him was fair. He cut me—a debt must be paid.

Q narrowed his eyes, our souls screamed at each other, unhindered by human words.

I want to hurt you.

I want to own you.

I want to devour you.

I want to make you mine.

I’m already yours.

 

 

TO all ARC Reviewers

This is for you:

 

*Disclaimer*

This edition has been edited, but has yet to be proofread. If you find a mistake, just ignore it, and hopefully that little sucker will be hunted and shot before the official release.

Oh, and if by some chance you are my mother, or mother-in-law, you are banned from reading this, and it will self-combust from your kindle immediately.

 

*Final note*

If you didn’t know yet, this book has sex. Lots of it. It dances with grief, slavery, and has a whole bunch of mind-fuckery. If you’re looking for a sweet, Young Adult romance, delete immediately, this will make your eyeballs bleed.

For all of you who love dark, erotic tales with tortured alpha males, read on… I hope it’s dark enough for your twisted desires.

Advance Review for Tears of Tess

I have a few Beta Readers reading Tears of Tess before I release it to the world. And I couldn’t help but share this. It’s made my night. Still shaking

 

Thanks so much, Kyra!

 

**

Good morning, Ms Winters! I have decided, after reading almost all of Tears of Tess, I may have to quit writing. It’s exquisite. This, my friend, has bestseller written all over

 

LOL! It’s everything that’s missing from Fifty Shades of Grey. A man who manages to be unnerving in a sexy way? Check. A man who, although likes his own way and commands respect, doesn’t do it by throwing expensive gifts then raping her? Check. A heroine with spunk? Check? Complex emotions? Double check. A believable emotional journey? Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! Kudos, lady. This is epic.

 

A rollercoaster ride of emotional fuckery!
