I AM NOT DOING BLACK FRIDAY.
This year I’m sitting at home, writing, reading, and talking you guys and sharing an excerpt Everlasting, the sequel to Eternity.
Firm lips kissed the delicate spot above her collarbone as if he knew that would drive her crazy. She grabbed onto his broad shoulders. His long, midnight hair brushed her finger. She threaded her fingers through the silky strands and arched, bringing her nipples into contact with his hard pecs. Need shot through her. She wanted more.
His lips stroked up the column of her neck. She turned her head, giving him complete access to the sensitive skin. He chuckled, a deep, sensual sound that reverberated through her and made her want to hear him laugh.
A velvety touch circled the shell of her ear. She giggled and twisted her head to get away, bringing their lips within centimeters of contact. Would he finally kiss her? Through the fall of his hair, she glimpsed his eyes. Deep ocean blue.
His hands tightened on her bare hips. Her legs parted and slid up his muscular thighs. She was more than ready for him.
He said her name. Whispered it. “Alexis, wake up.”
Detective Alexis Lever’s shot straight up in her bed. Her breath hitched and her heart clenched tight.
Wow.
She’d dreamed of him before, but never so vivid. She adjusted her twisted flannel P.J.’s and wiped the sweat from her brow.
A breeze fluttered the curtains and stirred the surprisingly thick October air. A putrid odor flooded the small the bedroom. Gagging, Alexis pressed a fist to her lips as her heart kicked into a gallop. Her gaze darted around the moonlight dappled bedroom of her grandmother’s house.
No one lurked.
The raised hairs on the back of her neck didn’t buy it. She reached for her gun, slid the covers off, and slipped from the bed.
I hope that whetted your appetite for more! Stay tuned.

Eternity
Cursed for 2000 years, Roman Nicolis has tracked his lovers’ soul through each reincarnation only to lose her horribly every time. Reclaiming their love is his only salvation. He’s been her friend, her father, her neighbor, but never again her lover . . . until now.
A late night walk home throws Stella Walker into the path of a killer. The last thing she remembers are the deep blue eyes of the man trying to kill her—and the first things she sees after a seven-day coma are the same blue eyes in the handsome face of the man hired to protect her. Is he truly the owner of a security firm assigned to protect her or the man who wants to finish her off? Is it fears she feels when Roman touches her or the memory of something sweeter? She will have to push past her fears and reclaim a love that has lasted two millennia.
Past secrets haunt them. An angry demon stalks them.
Roman will do anything to recover what they had. Though Stella’s ruined childhood has made her close her heart and body to any man, he must get past the walls around her to gain her love and trust, for it will take their union to defeat an unexpected enemy sent from the Egyptian Gods. A man Romans respects, and Stella trusts.
TWO HEARTS.ONE SOUL. FOR ALL ETERNITY.

I don’t like shopping.
Kit3247(at)aol(dot)com
This is the BEST way to spend Black Friday. Sitting at home, hopping with old friends and making new ones. I can’t handle the crowds anymore so I only do Black Friday shopping online if I do any. I tend to pick up gifts throughout the year so come November I’m finished. That way I can spread out the purchasing and not spend a fortune at the time of the year when my job is at its slowest and my paycheck is at its lowest. 🙂 Thanks for being part of the hop and for the chance to win.
