Blurb
Meet
Layla James, your typical smart and snarky chick—except for the
whole succubus thing. After nearly a millennium on Earth, Layla’s
settled down in a boring life in Palm Springs, until a smoking-hot
hunter comes to arrest her for murder. But Layla knows the
rules—she'd never kill someone and incite the wrath of The Powers
That Be.
Elijah
Daines is a hunter, maintaining the balance of good and evil in the
mortal realm, his power stronger than any hunter she’s ever
encountered. Plus, he’s a seriously sexy distraction. Too bad he’s
accused her of a crime she didn't commit.
As
the killer continues a murder spree that not only frames Layla but
threatens to expose the existence of supernatural creatures to
humans, Layla and Elijah team up to investigate. Hopefully, they can
fight off their escalating attraction for each other long enough to
exonerate her and stop the murder madness.
Excerpt
He
edged nearer the counter. I, or maybe my succubus, decided on a whim
I would not be intimidated by his power. I wasn’t sure where my
sudden courage came from. He had to have sensed my succubus
signature. We weren’t a violent race when we controlled our urges.
I’m Queen of Control over here. I’m sure he knows I won’t hurt
him. Right?
But
why is he here? Something must be wrong.
With
every step he took closer, I had a better look at him. His dark hair
was in slight disarray and his crystal blue eyes scoured my face. He
towered over me in every sense of the word. My stomach dipped.
He
and Jolene should go back-to-back so I can get an accurate measure of
his height.
I
shook away my thoughts of him. Given his disapproving glare, he came
here on a mission. Greek god or not, he was still a hunter, and I—
I
was a product of evil, aka something he hunts.
“Succubus,”
he growled. One little word filled with eons of unabashed hatred. It
vibrated through me. All hopes of him wanting a new bathroom paint
color vanished. No, this visit wouldn’t be pleasant, not at all.
Perhaps
I could seduce him. Hell, he could do me right on the floor of aisle
nine next to the light fixtures, if it kept him from killing me. I
bit my lip. Hunters weren’t typically susceptible to succubi
charms. A failed attempt of Aphrodisia could earn me more problems.
I
released a breath. Some buried-deep, natural instinct rolled through
me again, and I decided to stand my ground. I stood straighter and
barked back, “Hunter.”

Hello, J.M. - welcome to Beyond Romance and congratulations on your first book, the first, I hope, of many!
I love the cover. And has anyone ever told you you look like Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Not a bad thing for an author of urban fantasy LOL.
Thank you for hosting! And OMG telling me I look like Buffy is like the biggest compliment ever, she is my favorite heroine of all time!
