DIRTY LOVE
With
Decadent Publishing’s popular 1Night Stand series, the most unlikely pairings
are put together by Madame Evangeline, 1NS owner. Though her clients originally
plan one hot night of passion, she has other ideas for a happily ever after.
I can’t pin
down what inspired Dirty Love. I was blessed to have come up with a title first
(nothing’s more frustrating than drawing a blank on a title!) and I wrote the
story around it. I’ve thrown in some vampire and werewolf fun BUT I don’t let
on who is what in the beginning, you have to read to find out.
I admit Kat
and Jared are an odd couple, and even more so as you move through the story. I
enjoyed throwing together two people who shouldn’t have ever met, and playing
with their lives. It’s the author sadist in me. Kat is a fiery woman with a
devil may care attitude, while Jared is conservative and cautious. Party girl
meets computer nerd, or to paraphrase Jared, a fireball meets a wet towel.
Don’t get
me wrong, Jared is hot. Physically fit, with a libido which can rise to meet
any challenge, he won’t disappoint.
BLURB
Kat goes on the prowl looking for a one
night stand to rile up her new friends. A little shock and awe to keep her sane
in a life no longer hers. When she’s matched with Jared through 1Night Stand,
he seems perfect for her plans. Conservative, sweet, and sexy as sin, she’s ready
for one hell of a ride.
But Jared is more than she bargained
for—much more. And when her plans for amusement turn dangerous will the two
find a way to stay alive?
EXCERPT
“Come on.”
She winked. “You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do.”
“I thought
these things were urban legend. I never imagined I’d see one in real life.”
His date’s
gaze glimmered with mischief. “There are lots of big hairy surprises out there
for those brave enough to search for them.”
“Like you,
for one.” He cleared his throat. “Except for the hairy part. I hope, anyway.”
A slight
blush colored her cheeks, and he brushed his knuckles over the soft skin there.
Shadows marred the smoothness beneath her eyes. Had she been sick? Or maybe her
party girl lifestyle drew out too much. She stepped back.
“Cowboy up,
sugar.” She grasped his hand and pulled him forward, again surprising him with
her power. Under the softness of her curves lay a fair amount of muscle. He
swallowed. She could ride him without tiring, take his maddened pounding for
hours. It’d take all night to spend the pent up energy boiling in his veins.
He’d passed the point of return; jerking off wouldn’t satiate his needs.
Without sex, and soon, he’d run howling through the streets, a crazed animal.
After
taking an elevator to the basement level of the parking garage, she led him to
a red door and rapped on its freshly painted surface. Dark corners closed in on
them. The hairs on his arms and neck rose. He sensed being watched. More cameras. Were as many inside? And
maybe a live Internet feed his family could run across in some improbable way?
Don’t
create imaginary monsters. He squared his shoulders.
A partition
slid open. Dark eyes narrowed, focusing on Kat who lifted a pale brow. The
panel slammed closed, and Jared let a small sigh slip. Could he be off the
hook? This night had turned out to be more than he’d bargained for, leaving him
ready to tuck tail and run. Find somewhere else to indulge his feral wants with
his date. The door swung open, and the odor of incense assaulted him. His
escape option evaporated.
BIO
Olivia Starke calls the Ozarks home.
One of the most beautiful areas in the country, she loves hiking trails with
her dogs, kayaking on the numerous waterways, and enjoying southern Missouri's
fresh air and sunshine.
She's also 'Mom' to four dogs, a
growing number of kitties that show up at her door, and four VERY spoiled
horses that do little to earn their keep. Not that she'd ever hold that against
them.
She's a HUGE fangirl of Doctor Who
and to a lesser extent, Supernatural, and has a pretty interesting love
triangle (or square?) going on in her head between the Doctor and the
Winchesters.
Thanks for hosting me today :)
