Book Description:
Retribution. At any cost.
Now
that she knows her name and what she is, she wants justice for everything shes
lost. Though her memories elude her, she takes a job for a half-demon Senator
and, aided by werewolves from a local clan, intends to uncover evidence that
will convict the Senator of more than thirty murders.
Getting
to the Senator and finding the necessary evidence is more difficult than she
anticipates, especially when there is a bounty for her death. If that were not
enough, the vampire who stole her memories returns and reveals unexpected
truths. But shes not going to let anything stop her. Not a sadistic assassin or
a servant or Lucifer. Not even her ex-lover, the vampire God of the Underworld.
Nothing will stop her from claiming retribution...even if the price is her
life.
About the Author:
Outside
of my government job, I write Paranormal Romance and Urban Fantasy. Dark and
dangerous creatures are my friends. I create worlds with vampires, demons,
werewolves, and other supernatural creatures. I even create new ones. How do I
do this? I have a twisted mind and it gets better with wine.
Care
to join me in my fantastical worlds? I’ll introduce you to my friends, and if
they bite or corrupt your mind... it’s not my fault.

*wink, wink*
EXCERPT :
From
the main level, I rode an elevator to the basement. As I walked through the
tunnel, toward the capital, clusters of government employees passed by. Unlike
the other days when I came to work, men and women wore suits and chatted with
serious looks on their faces. None of them carried lunch bags in their hands. I
wondered if they'd come from a meeting or were going to one.
I
reached the elevator to get to the subbasement and hit the button. While I
waited for my ride, I scanned the area around me. The empty hall showed no
signs of trouble and the voices of those who'd passed recently faded. I
breathed in a relieving breath, finding myself alone and safe.
The
ding of the elevator alerted me to its presence. The doors opened and a crowd
of men and women in professional attire walked out. I stepped aside, staying
clear of their path.
“Good
evening, Shelley,” said an evil voice from behind me.
Since
I had vampire hearing and hadn't heard her approaching, the bitch must have
misted to appear near me. My blood boiled with anger. I hated the charmed
bracelet on my ankle, preventing me from utilizing my demon and angel
abilities.
With
my jaw clamped so tight my teeth could've chipped, I glanced over my shoulder.
She stood alone and dressed in a red suit.
“I
didn't hear you coming,” I said in a rude tone.
Her
lips formed a devilish smile. “You won't.”
Heat
flamed within me, causing me to perspire. My clothes, damp from my dash through
the rain, began to feel even wetter. The demon in me wanted out, wanted to rip
her to shreds. Fortunately for her, the angel in me held the demon back.
After
a few nods from the people passing, I strode onto the empty elevator. The bitch
followed me and stood at the opposite side with her arms crossed. Alone with
the Senator, I picked up her demon scent mixed with some other citrus type of
perfume. The two odors mixed with the sight of the Senator made my stomach
churn.
Once
the doors closed, we faced each other. She had a feral look in her eyes, but I
felt no fear. I had zero doubt I could kill her with my bare hands. She knew I
could too, given she knew I had vampire strength. Her charmed bracelet couldn't
freeze all supernatural abilities.
“I'm
surprised you decided to show up this evening.” Galluzzi smirked.
I
clenched the strap of my purse tighter. She obviously knew about the attack on
me at Boss's house. Did she think she could provoke me?
I
stepped closer to her and stood a foot from her face, glaring at her. “I'm not
easy to get rid of.”
Emotion
drained from her face. “No, you're not, but I have my ways.” She lifted her
chin, displaying her arrogance. “Setbacks are normal in life, but I always
win.”
Sweat trickled down the back of my neck. What
would happen if I killed her in the elevator? Every bit of me wanted to see her
dead now, instead of hung out in front of the world as a criminal. She deserved
far worse. She deserved death
