In mystic Sleepy Hollow, succubus Lily Night put her prom date, Campbell Jones, into a coma after a night of wild, unbridled sex. She has steered clear of mortals ever since, afraid of damaging them or worse, not to mention the inconvenience of knocking out the power every time they have sex.
Successful architect Campbell Jones has lived with strange powers and a sexy secret since that prom night. He’s buried himself in work to forget the woman who’d dumped him at the ER then vanished from his life without a trace.
Neither Lily nor Campbell have forgotten that night or the love they’d shared. Will a 1Night Stand help them bury their past?
Excerpt:
“A little
higher and more to the left.”
Lily Night
narrowed her eyes as the building maintenance man shifted her framed diploma on
the freshly-painted wall opposite her desk. She tried not to ogle the firm ass
encased in a pair of tight jeans or the way the man’s shoulder muscles rippled
beneath his T-shirt.
Maybe if I pop an Altoid, I’ll have an excuse to wipe away the
drool.
She
refrained from jumping the handsome worker dude’s bones. The last time she’d
dallied with a human, the encounter had not gone well. Vivid images of that
long ago prom night bombarded her. Campbell Jones had been a young, strapping,
hunk-and-a-half football player and they’d started their date full of hope and
expectation and lust. When he’d adjusted the fragrant
gardenia corsage on her wrist, she’d inhaled his crisp, citrus scent and
thought she might swoon at the sight of him in his tux. The black material
stretched across broad shoulders that mirrored the promise of the bruising man
he’d be in his prime. But she’d all but sucked him dry as flashes of lightning
crackled over their heads. By the time dawn painted the sky, she’d turned him
into a mere shadow of his former self. Literally.
And briefly
knocked out cell phone service in the lower Hudson Valley, as well.
She’d sworn
off humans ever since. Instead, she pulled all-nighter after all-nighter to
evade the dreams in which men called to her—and to avoid the university dating
scene that inevitably led to frequent and addicting sex.
Mortals. Bleh.
