TEMPTED BY BLOOD - #SixSunday Excerpt #3

Each Sunday on their blogs, a number of writers share six sentences from their books or their works in progress. For the next few weeks, I'll be sharing clips from my upcoming book, TEMPTED BY BLOOD, the third novel in the Sweetblood series, which comes out Feb. 21.

Be sure to check back next Sunday as I'll be sharing more of what happens when Arianna and Jackson first meet.
