Tina Donahue is my guest today. She shares a look at her #newrelease SHAMELESS DESIRE, an Erotic Urban Fantasy SciFi Romance. This newest release is book 3 in her Outlawed Realm series. Congratulations, Tina and welcome!
Blurb:
Passion without limit. Carnal hunger that knows no bounds.
Within Earth’s five dimensions, nothing is as it seems…and desire is never far away.
In E4’s jungle, Kuma’s the Alpha werewolf bent on revenge against the hated guards. Swept
with them from that dimension to E1, he prowls Seattle at night, stopping the thugs from
abducting women for use as sex slaves in E4’s Pleasure Palace.
On her way home from her nursing job, Gwen senses danger in the night’s shadows. A stranger attacks. Clinging to consciousness, she watches the impossible, a wolf fighting him
off…protecting her. She wakes in her own bed, convinced it must have been a dream until she sees Kuma in human form. Virile, intense. A man like no other.
Within his powerful embrace, Gwen experiences rapture she didn’t believe existed. His
unrestrained lust and burning need end her loneliness, though not the menace they face. The guards are a constant threat in their hunt for women and their determination to see Kuma dead. Together, he and Gwen must fight—for his life, her freedom, their future.
Excerpt:
She stopped within light spilling from the building, the harsh illumination revealing her
exotic features, lush lips, coppery skin.
Her fragrance wafted close.
He drew it in. The woodsy scent intoxicated him and complemented her pale-blue eyes, the
color sheer, ethereal.
Drizzle collected on her long, dark lashes.
She shoved her hands into her pockets, advanced a few steps, then stopped, and looked at
him.
Rain pattered the concrete, matching his thumping pulse. Music poured from inside a car, its
steady throb intensifying the moment. Wind whipped past. Tires swished over asphalt.
Ignoring the incessant noise, she studied him with female interest and curiosity.
He considered her approaching him, drawing close enough to touch.
His legs weakened.
She didn’t budge. Color rose to her cheeks, darkening them.
Why? Because she feared him…or wanted him?
Heat radiated from his chest to his belly. Unused to clothing, he ached to tear away his
jeans, t-shirt, and suede jacket. At the very least, he longed to be near her.
Intuition warned him to remain where he was. For the moment. When she left, he’d follow.
He had no choice, sensing what awaited her on the shadowed streets. Within the last minutes, the smell from a guard—the most hated predator in his realm—had grown more obvious, leading him to this area. If the night air had calmed, he might have located the man’s hiding place with little effort. As it was, the wind kept changing direction, snatching the odor away.
To put her at ease and keep her from leaving the safety this place afforded, he smiled.
Her lips parted. Moisture slipped over the bottom one to her chin.
Yearning battered him. He wanted to lick the bead off, kiss her throat, gather her into his
arms, and do so much more.
She stared. Uncertainty emanated from her.
He wasn’t certain whether she’d return his smile or flee.
Stay here until the threat’s gone. The guard will hide in a new location. He’ll stalk another
woman.
She crossed the parking lot, away from him, her strides long and purposeful.
On instinct, he advanced a step, then stopped from tailing her. He couldn’t now, not after
they’d exchanged such a prolonged glance. For him to follow too close behind would make her run, perhaps scream, bringing unwanted notice. His only option was to wait and allow things to play out as they had since he’d come to this realm, hunting—killing—protecting those he could in the hours before dawn.
