Welcome to week 98th
week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is Our Sexy Man and it was pretty
open but absolutely dedicated to the sexy men in our books. Each of my stories
has a sexy man, sometimes two but all of them the kind any woman would love to
meet.
Just a few
reminders before we get into the snippet. My blog is always hopping with Monday’s Austria Scoop where I talk about Austria and
Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Live where I talk writing and life. Both can be
incredibly boring or incredibly exciting. Some
weeks it’s a little bit of both.
Today’s book is one that is in
my Santa’s Elves series at my traditional epublisher,
eXtasy Books. This is a wonderful series about the elves that help
Santa at the North Pole. While the first book was sexy and sweet, each of the
others have taken on some darker aspects of magic. This one shows that making
people forget isn’t always the best thing. Here’s the set up:
Lacey Sinclair wants to be a doctor but life and circumstance has made
that path impossible. Given the chance
at the job of a lifetime and the promise of enough money to see her through med
school, she is hesitant. Something draws her to one certain man that she can’t
put her finger on. Her body is alive and her mind sharp, focused when she’s
near him. So before she can live the life of her dreams, she must discover just
who Cuinn Lochlin is to her and her future.
Here’s my seven paragraphs from An Elf’s Love:
Every contour of his body was rock
solid. Her breath hitched and she tried hard to control her breathing. Licking
her lips, she looked up at him and lost herself. She wanted to kiss this man,
to touch him like a lover, to have him inside her as quickly as she could.
Before her thoughts could get the better of her, she brought to mind images of
the president, of Gandhi, of Mother Teresa, but nothing would to stop her
passionate feelings. Her very being wanted this man.

“Ah, hell—” Cuinn swooped down on her
and captured her lips with his. He couldn’t help himself. From the moment she
walked into the conference room that morning, all he could think about was
having her in his arms. He should have told his father at the wedding last year
about his desire for her, but her place hadn’t cemented in his heart yet. Now
there would be no stopping their bonding.
Gently, he pulled back and gazed at
her. “I’ll stop if you want me to.”
Lacey quickly shook her head. “No.
I’ve never felt something so right.” She pulled his head back to her and his
lips captured hers with no tenderness this time, just a hard, raw need.
Still, he knew she needed tender
after what had happened to her this past year. Changing the tone of his
onslaught, Cuinn gently sucked her bottom lip and ran his hands softly down her
arms. Rewarded with a slight shiver, his body tightened in response to her
body’s signals as his caress slipped around to her soft buttocks.
The rapid beat of her heart drummed
against him, showing how aroused she truly was. She would be the core of his
world and he wanted everything to be right for their first time, so trying hard
to remember all the lessons on sex from his father. First, he put up his
shields knowing some people in the city would feel the energy. Then, he snapped
the glamour spell more firmly around himself because there were some things she
couldn’t know until they had reached the North Pole. Cuinn only hoped she would
forgive him once all had been revealed.
Breaking off the kiss, he breathed
hard as he gently cupped her face in his hands. “Tell me to stop right now and
I will because you have to be very, very sure you want this to happen.”
This is the fourth book in the Santa’s Elves series for eXtasy. Right
now there five of the six books completed with the last one slated for later
this year. There is also a couple of novellas that I want to get completed in
this world as well. The whole series is about a
family of elves who work for Santa and all about their lives. Two books
in the series and a novella are currently on sale at eXtasy Books.
