Highlander's Magic – Exclusive Excerpt

Today (while I’m rugged up against the winter chill in New Zealand) I’m bringing you an exclusive excerpt from Highlander’s Magic which released just a month ago. The next book in this series, Highlander’s Charm, will be releasing in September/October, and I can’t wait to bring it to you.

Currently, I’m writing the fifth book in this series, Highlander’s Guardian, and having a blast since this one is set at Holyrood House, the king’s Edinburgh residence in Scotland. Here’s the excerpt from Highlander’s Magic. I hope you enjoy.

HIGHLANDER’S MAGIC – Exclusive Excerpt

Marie should step back, but for the life of her, she couldn’t. Instead, she slid her fingers through Archie’s silky brown hair and stroked his scalp. “I dare you. I’m a twenty-first century woman, whether you believe me or not. And we play by a whole separate set of rules.”

 

“So you wish to play as the fae do?” Archie lowered his head to the curve of her neck and brushed his lips over her flesh. “Say aye. I need to hear your agreement plain and clear.”

 

“Yes, bring on the fire. Set as many challenges as you like.” She tipped her head to the side and he trailed his lips lower.

 

“Fire it is then.” He settled his mouth over her pulse and sucked, hard.

 

Her knees wobbled, and she latched onto his shoulders. “Um, nice start.”

 

“Nice? Your heartbeat flutters like the wings of a bird.” He pressed every inch of his body against hers, and heat raced the entire length. “I want to kiss you.”

 

Well, that she really didn’t mind. This adventure surely wouldn’t hurt with some kissing involved. “If you wish.”

 

“I wish.” He covered her mouth with his, and the taste of him swarmed her senses. Oh, yes. Adventure was good. Wanting more, she kissed him back, molding her mouth to his.

 

“You taste so sweet.” He licked over her lower lip with the most seductive stroke. Desire bolted through her. Then he caressed her sides, roamed down and scooped her bottom up. Lifted higher, he pressed himself hard against her, and he was hard.

 

Sweet heaven. Keeping hold, she seized his powerful biceps. “I really like you without the shirt.”

 

“I really like you with mine on.” Then he kissed her deeper, until their breath mingled as one. “How much fire can you handle? I need to touch you.”

Seven Random Facts About Me

The lovely Cd Brennan honored me with the Very Inspiring Blogger Award. She has two fabulous new adult romances available through Kensington Books, and if you’d like to check out her snazzy covers, pop on over to her website. Thank you Cd for thinking of me.

In accepting, I am required to:

  • Link back to the person who nominated me for the award.
  • Display the Very Inspiring Blogger Award logo.
  • Reveal 7 things about myself. (This will be interesting. I hope.)
  • Nominate others to receive the award and continue the fun.

Here are my seven random facts:

  1. My mother insists I was born a month overdue, yet I find that incredibly hard to believe since I’m super-fanatical about getting to where I should be on time.
  2. When I was a young child, I played with piglets because we owned a piggery. I used to feed the youngest in the litter with a bottle, which is way cool.
  3. I did not pass my high school English exam, yet today I write bestselling books. So ironic. 🙂
  4. When not writing, I work as an accountant part-time, and thankfully, I passed those exams.
  5. I don’t like peas. I used to hide those suckers under the mashed potato when I was a kid since my mother never worried if I didn’t finish that all off.
  6. My father (a farmer at the time) chopped a chicken head off in front of me when I was ten, because he said the chicken was supposedly on its last legs and wouldn’t survive the night. I’m still traumatized by that experience today. They can run for some time without all their parts, and that chicken’s legs worked just fine.
    This could be why I’m a vegetarian today.
  7. I love being a Mum. Best job ever. I’ve also never made my kiddies eat peas, or dissected animals in front of them.

To pass on the award, I nominate the lovely and talented:
