Synopsis:
In this small town, nothing is as it seems…
When artist Brie Lark left her vampire ex and her straitjacket
of a hometown to breathe free in New York City, she promised herself two
things: she’d never go back to Meiers Corner, and no more vampires. The last
thing she expected—or wanted—was to be sent back home on an assignment. But her
boss at the FBI needs her undercover on a murder case, working with a
black-haired, black-eyed giant god of a man who’s her idea of perfection,
except for one thing—he’s a vampire.
FBI Special Agent
Seb Rikare is an ancient vampire hardened by loss. He’s cut all emotions to
protect himself and leads a deliberately steady, almost sterile life. The brash
young woman forced to pose as his lover irritates him, with her jangling
bracelets and colorful hair. But as much as she irritates him, he finds himself
drawn to her lively spirit and he’s tempted to make fantasy a reality.

Night’s Caress Excerpt
Copyright © 2017 Mary Hughes
I
was intensely aware I was alone in a bedroom with Seb Rikare.
My
whole body clenched.
His
eyes changed. Heated. Darkened.
I
swallowed hard. My heart started to beat faster. What would it be like to
caress the silky-looking skin of his face? Nibble that honed jaw? Touch my
mouth to those perfect, masculine lips? All I had to do was take a few short
steps to find out.
I
took one without even knowing it.
His
nostrils flared and he drew in an excited breath.
He
wants me, too. At the thought, my belly thrilled
and my heart thumped hard. He’d touch me in return. Hold me secure in his
strong arms. Cup my face in his big hands, press his lips to mine,
communicating his need in a passionate kiss.
I
took another step toward him.
He
took a single, unconscious step toward me.
Oh,
yeah. In that moment, I wanted to play with fire.
Sure,
Derek had me under his spell within weeks. Seb, as strong and handsome as he
was, could no doubt do it in days.
But
just once wouldn’t hurt, right? I wanted to, so badly.
Couldn’t
I touch him once, to see if his skin was silk or cream? Nibble his jaw, to test
how honed it was? Taste his mouth, to satisfy the curiosity burning in my body?
Just
a taste.
Somehow,
while I argued with myself, my curious feet had brought me to stand before him.
He gazed down at me. At nearly six feet myself, I was usually the one looking
down. Even with me in heels, he was over half a foot taller. The novel
experience sent another thrill through me.
I
made a small noise, like a whimper.
His
black eyes lit with fire, a hunger so primal I could see it burning in his
gaze. His hands rose. Slowly, so I could have stopped him, he cupped my face in
both his hands. My whole face. Damn, the man had big hands. He bent closer, his
intent clear.
He
was going to kiss me.
