Book Blurb:
Even the best-laid plans can falter. Lady Rolayna Seville has one chance to make up for past mistakes, marriage to Baron Rauf Oliveander. Hopeful to appease her powerful father, they journey to seal the contract when they are abducted by a demon warrior and his disciples. Desperate to obtain forgiveness, Rolayna uses every weapon in her arsenal to escape. Dragos, Duke of Dragonthorne has one job, to do whatever is necessary to stop the rebellion, including abducting a powerful duke and his pain in the ass daughter. When the situation deteriorates, his remaining option is to marry her, something he swore he'd never do. The attraction between them is soul-consuming. With the rebels attacking at every turn, Rolayna must choose between her planned future and remaining at the heart of the devil's dominion.
Excerpt:
When he lifted his head, she protested. “Dragos.”
His lids dropped over his eyes. “So, you know who
holds you.” He set her on her feet. Slowly, he
unwrapped her arms from his neck and placed her
hands on his chest.
She stood mesmerized by the rippling bronze of his
skin wanting to run her hands over his body as he did
hers.
“Does your rebel make you feel the way I do?”
Oh my God, Rauf! What am I doing? Rolayna
stiffened and backed away from him. Without his heat,
cold seeped into her bones, and she realized Dragos
wore only his breeches. His tunic lay on the ground at
their feet.
Her gaze roamed his chest and stopped on the spot
where she stabbed him with her hatpin. There should be
a wound or a mark, something to herald her attack, but
neither were there. Confusion filled her mind. How
could he be healed so quickly? She stabbed him
yesterday. She glanced up at his dark eyes and the
hunger within their depths, suddenly remembering her
near nakedness. Rolayna shivered, trying desperately to
cover herself with her arms.
“I…he…we…do…not…” she stammered.
He smiled. “I saw you together last night, and he
wore only his breeches. He desires to have you.”
Her chin lifted, and she stared up at him. “So, you
admit he wants me for more than my gold?”
Dragos’ lids dropped over his eyes. “I did not say
so.” He picked up his tunic. “Here, put this on.” His
gaze flicked over her one more time, lingering on her
breasts before he tossed it at her…

Author Biography:
I started my career as a story teller as a young girl playacting with my doll. I liked to pretend she went places and did things I couldn’t do and put her in sticky situations for the fun of it. Pretty soon my siblings brought me my doll and wanted me to entertain them, which I did with great pleasure. On one occasion my mom joined the audience and later told me I shouldn’t make my doll so naughty.
Later in life, I thought of writing romance stories but with so many small children I did not have the time. Now, my children are mostly grown, I can put all the stories in my head down on paper and it’s a wonderful feeling. I enjoy other hobbies as well, such as knitting, crocheting, quilting, embroidery, and sewing. I wallpaper and faux paint when I get the chance and make my own swags. My main focus is my family, and they are the joy of my life. I love what I do and where I am in my life.
