Hello everyone and welcome to the Saturday Spankings Blog Hop. This past week, I shared my new cover with you (if you didn't see it, just peek below) and today, I'd like to share the first snippet from Retribution, a dark romantic suspense (erotic, of course). Release is January 12, 2016.
Today is also the last day for you to participate in the GIVEAWAY!! In celebration of the upcoming release, I'm giving away a $25 gift card to Amazon and copies of DEVIANT and THEIRS TO TAKE! Rafflecopter is below so play!!
Okay, a snippet. I'm sharing from the prologue. This is from Adam's POV. He's the hero, but I'm thinking people won't think that until a little later in the book...
I followed the little yellow bug from some distance away, although I didn’t need to tail her. I knew where she lived, what she ate. Where she did her dry-cleaning, who she socialized with. Who she fucked — although that was surprisingly infrequent. I knew the contents of her underwear drawer. Knew what kind of vibrator she liked and how often she used it. And, today, I’d meet Elle Dominguez face to face. I’d introduce myself as her new neighbor and I’d steal her life, just like they’d stolen mine.
Blurb for Retribution
Adam
Payback’s a bitch — or it would be for Elle.
Fifteen years ago, my sister was kidnapped. For months,
she’d endured hell. Somehow, she’d survived it. Someway, she’d escaped her
captors. But it hadn’t mattered. In fact, it had been like losing her twice,
because six weeks after she came home, she was dead, and the man responsible
was alive and well, oblivious to her fate, ignorant to what he had coming.
Fifteen years I’d been waiting for this moment, all that time,
planning, preparing, readying to put things into motion. To finally make the
SOB pay for what he’d done.
Killing him was too easy. Too quick. No. There was a much
better way to exact revenge.
Take what he loved best.
Break it.
Break her.
I just didn’t realize that in the process of destroying the
girl, I’d destroy myself.
Elle
“I only want your
pain.”
I hadn’t understood what those words meant, not really. Not
until he made me understand.
I noticed Adam the very first day he moved into my building.
He was a badass on a bike in a thousand-dollar suit. When he looked at me, it
was with a hunger just this side of obscene.
Our meetings were strange, accidental. Too coincidental.
There was something about Adam. Something I couldn’t put my finger on.
Something I couldn’t resist.
He told me I didn’t know him. He warned me to run as far
from him as I could. He was moody. Dark. I’d found it romantic. I didn’t know,
and I wouldn’t realize until it was too late that he’d meant for me to heed his
warnings. That some part of him had hoped I would run, that I would escape him.
For too many years, vengeance had fueled him. It had taught
him hate. The object of that hate? My father. And me? I was the means to my
father’s end. Adam would destroy my father by destroying me.
I accused him of being a monster, of being no different than
those who took his sister, but even in the harshest moments, all I could see in
his eyes was pain. And like a fool, all I wanted was to touch that darkness.
To make it light.

Can't wait for this release. You're so good at writing the anti-hero, and I'd say Adam is a prime example.
Wow, he's been watching her closely. I'm wondering what else he knows about her!
I can't wait to read this! Dark is definitely your style!
How does he know what's in her underwear drawer?
I'm really interested to know how you turn him around from creepy stalker to sexy hero :)
Great snippet. You really get into his head.
