BLURB:
Dragon-warrior Venom lives in self-imposed isolation. Cursed by
his toxic touch, he is deadly to anyone who has contact with him for too long.
Set apart from others and hounded by intense loneliness, he craves the lasting
connection he believes he cannot possess. Until a chance encounter with a
sultry mortal offers a ray of hope…
Evelyn Foxe is the woman of Venom’s every desire, but she’s too
busy running from the Russian mob to think about love. As she accepts Venom’s
offer to help her escape her precarious situation, she’s skeptical, afraid that
he’s in league with those sent to harm her. But when a biological weapon is
unleashed in her hometown, Evelyn is forced to trust Venom—or risk the dangers
of going it alone.
Will they survive the firestorm that rages around them? And can
they pull from the ashes a love that will defy all the odds and last through
the ages?
EXCERPT:
Instinct whispered in her ear, plying her with
suspicion. She frowned. What was his game? He must be running one. Venom wasn’t
stupid. Far from it. Which meant he must’ve known. Must’ve guessed what would
happen— that he wouldn’t be able to hide his scalier side from her forever.
Or maybe he’d simply planned on lying to her . . .
ad infinitum.
The thought tugged at her temper. An odd reaction.
Not at all warranted. She didn’t own the right to be pissed off at him. Anger
didn’t belong in the equation. She’d planned to use him for money. He’d wanted
her for sex. A simple exchange. No fuss. No muss. And yet, the idea of him
being dishonest with her woke something primal. Something dangerous. Something
that shoved her toward the truth. The thought of Venom lying to her more than
bothered her. It infuriated her, violated her sense of . . . of . . . well, she
didn’t know exactly. Right and wrong? Her sense of self-worth? A healthy dose
of pride, maybe? No clue. But whatever the catalyst, it lit the fuse, setting
moral indignation on fire, tipping the balance, making her throw caution to the
wind.
Eyes narrowed, she scowled up at him. “Venom.”
“Almost there, mazleiha.”
“Where are we going?”
“Somewhere safe.”
“Will your dragon friends be there?”
Her clipped tone made him glance down. She glared
at him.
A wary light entered his eyes. “No. It’ll just be
you and me for a while.”
“Good,” she said, hot sauce in her tone. “We need
to talk.”
“You gonna take it easy on me?”
“No.”
He grimaced. “That’s what I thought.”
