Blurb:
The time of the Aesir gods is over. Now
they live among the humans in their bustling modern cities. Their brutal
dominion over the gods and humans may have ended, but their actions have not
been forgotten.
Korvain is feared like no other. His
ruthlessness and cold heart are legendary, but when he is given the task of
killing one of the most fabled goddesses of all time, he is left with an
undeniable desire to make her his own. Failure in his task means only one
thing: death. Will he follow his orders, or will he follow his heart?
Bryn’s
whole world crumbled when she left Odin’s
service to protect the other Valkyries. Now living with the humans, she is the
only thing standing between them and total destruction. But her beliefs are about to be shaken to the core when she meets
Korvain—a completely irresistible Mare who
threatens to take away more than just her innocence.
Dark Deceit Excerpt/Teaser:
“Stepping past one of the only
humans she actually liked, Bryn opened up her office door and stopped dead when
all the air came rushing out of her lungs.
Korvain
was sitting on the edge of her desk, his black eyes glittering in the overhead
lights. Although he was sitting down, she could tell he was taller than her by
more than just a few inches. His skull-trimmed hair was black, matching his
eyes and the dark slashes of his eyebrows.
He
was bigger than any other male she had ever seen. His arms were as big as her
thighs, crossed tightly across a stomach so well defined the muscles of his
abdominals threw their own shadows from under the material of his shirt.
Her
eyes took in the breadth of his shoulders, the size of his chest. Bryn swayed
suddenly, her hand shooting out to catch the door jamb to keep her balance.
Gods, the scent of the male was intoxicating. She had a sudden vision of having
his body on hers, pressing into her. She gasped to hide the groan that wanted
to push its way free from her throat.
She
watched as his eyes seemed to grow darker, his luscious mouth parting in the
most seductive way. Bryn shook her head and cleared her throat.
‘Korvain?’
After
a long, hot, lingering look, he nodded.
Her
eyes slid shut as another flash of them touching intimately assaulted her.
Letting out a breath, she pinned him with a look that usually sent most men
into hiding. ‘Mind getting your ass off my
desk?’ she snapped, stalking past
him to sit in her huge leather chair.”
With
a cocky grin on his lips, he pushed himself off the edge of her desk and parked
it in the chair opposite her. His eyes raked over her upper body like he was
thinking about her naked. ‘Adrian says I can trust you
with my girls up on Level Three.’
‘How can you know for sure?’ he replied, his voice washing through her, tightening the
muscles in her lower body. The cadence of his voice was mesmerising, and she
got another flash of him whispering erotic things into her ear while his naked
chest pressed against hers.
She
let out an exasperated breath. ‘I trust Adrian. He trusts you.
That’s enough for me. Besides,’ she leaned in closer, ‘if
you mess around with them, I’ll mess around with you. You know
who I am, what I’m capable of.’
She
sat back and watched in frustration as his lips curled into an amused smile.”
