EXCERPT:
He was responsible for her withdrawal, which made him feel
like an asshole. He shouldn’t have gone bi-polar on her. He should have managed
his emotions better. It wasn’t her fault he’d had a shitty love life. And it
was not her fault if he couldn’t keep his damn lustful body in check.
Those thoughts didn’t help Declan, but caused new graphic
scenes to invade his mind. For a while, he let himself indulge in them. If
Keira were to stay, he would find a way to know her better.
I’d love to spend hours getting to know her—every little
inch of her.
He closed his eyes imagining her perfect body under his—felt
her silken skin under his fingertips. He wanted to kiss her until they were
both breathless, discover her secret spots: what made her tick, moan, and shout
his name.
“Declan!” her clear voice yanked him from the daydream. He
looked at Keira, still in a daze, and she smiled. “The check please.”
He was mortified at the bulge in his pants, which prevented
him from going to the table without making a bigger fool of himself than he had
already made. So he pretended to study some papers instead.
“What’s your room number? I’ll add the check to your room
bill.”
“Don’t I have to sign it?”
“Not necessary,” he lied, I’ll have to sign it myself
because there’s no way in hell I can stand up right now, you little bewitching
thing.

Talking with author Liz Gavin!
What would we find under your bed?
Nothing because it's
impossible to get under it. Hehe
What was the scariest moment of your life?
Some years ago my car was
hit by a bus on a busy avenue. It crashed my driver's door and pushed me for a
few hundred yards. All I could do was look at the huge bus radiator looming
inches away from my face and pray for the best. Luckily it was over and I got
out without a scratch. The car was in pretty bad shape though.
Do you listen to music while writing? If so what?
I listen to music all the
time. Instrumental music helps me focus when I write.
What is something you'd like to accomplish in your
writing career next year?
Publish Celtics Fire. It's
my third novel and a personal favorite so far. It's a historical romance about
a Druid High Priestess set in 11th century Scotland.
How long did it take you to write this book?
It took me about six months
but I pulled it off only because I had a group of AWESOME alpha readers cheering
me on and helping me much more than they'll ever know. Thanks guys. You ROCK.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
When Liz Gavin
was in Second Grade - just a couple of years ago, really - her teacher told her
mother the little girl should start a diary because she needed an outlet for
her active and vivid imagination. She was a talkative child who would disrupt
the class by engaging her colleagues in endless conversations. She loved
telling them the stories her grandfather used to tell her.
Apparently, the
teacher wasn’t a big fan of those stories, and Liz’s mother bought her a diary.
She happily wrote on it for a couple of months. Unable to see the appeal of
writing for her own enjoyment only, she gave up on it. She missed the audience
her friends provided her in class. She went back to disturbing her dear teacher’s
class.
Since then, she
has become a hungry reader. She will read anything and everything she can get
her hands on – from the classics to erotica. That’s how she has become a writer
of erotica and romance, as well.
As a young
adult, she participated in a student exchange program and lived in New Orleans
for six months. She fell in love with the city and its wonderful inhabitants.
NOLA will always hold a special spot in Liz Gavin’s heart. Nowadays, living in
Brazil, Liz’s creativity has improved many times because it’s such a vibrant,
gorgeous and sexy country.
Welcome to her
world of hot Alpha males and naughty, independent women. Add a touch of the
paranormal in the presence of some wicked souls and you’ll get the picture.
