Staid and straitlaced Michelle Stein has
two thoughts fueling her mind…
1. Floor the first man to walk into her
antique shop.
2. Throttle her three witch-practicing
aunts.
They promised her a tiny spell to fix
her ridiculous inhibitions, but instead mischievously delivered a full-blown,
sanity-squashing lust spell. The temporary curse apparently has no boundaries,
either…since the first man who walks through her door is the same man who broke
her heart ten years ago.
Despite Michelle’s vociferous
resistance, Sebastian becomes the only man who can appease her unending
physical hunger.
Thirty, heirless and restless, Sebastian
Gray is drawn back home to Cape Town to claim the only girl he ever loved. What
he finds in her place is a hotly bewitched erotic seductress.
Now with the reparation spell her aunts
cast gone awry, Sebastian might be on the losing end of a futile battle against
a strength-ascending hex, no matter how hard he tries to keep Michelle
satiated, alive…or even just human.
EXCERPT:
She wobbled out of her office to the
entrance of the store. Pressing her legs together, she chewed her lip in agony
as the slightest movement ricocheted spasms of pleasure through her body. Her
eyes fixed on the gold-plated sign hanging on the inside of the glass door
meters away from her. Her mission to flip it around and keep out any possible
victims until the crazy her aunts
bestowed upon her evaporated.
Too late.
The door swung open. Eighteenth-century
chimes hanging from the paneled ceiling danced in the afternoon breeze. Their
former melodious jingle a sex-alert siren in her ear now.
She zeroed in on a musky scent mingled with
the clean, self-assured aroma of pure red-blooded male. Her senses hummed. She
licked her lips then swerved to a dead halt.
Bedeviled with the worst kind of heat known
to any man, woman or animal for that matter, and who chose to walk into her
ordinarily sedate but presently doggoned world?
Sebastian Gray.
He who broke her heart in two.
“Glitterbug.” His gravel-and-silk voice
spiked and inebriated her nerves. She tore her gaze away from his killer smile
and stared into his wicked green-tinged blue eyes, which teased her the same
way they did ten years ago.
Only one thought shot through her mind.
Oh
dear, I’m going to molest Sebastian Gray.
She stepped back—her restless hands crossed
over her breasts, curled around her neck and intertwined behind her in a clammy
mess. She squelched the incoherent reverberations tickling against her closed
lips, afraid she’d growl at him instead.
She backtracked into her office. He
followed her, his stride unhurried, lazy, unaware of the red-hot danger he
seemed intent on pursuing. She held up her hand. Cease! her palm screamed at him. He closed in, his eyes narrowing
at her fidgety silence.
“Glitterbug?”
The part of her wanting to keep him out of
her office died in distress. The other part, the part her aunts had concocted
wicked mischief with, purred with glee. She’d managed to lure her prey into the
confined space of her office.
No,
he is not your prey.
