GENRE:
Urban Fantasy Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bridesmaids
meets Buffy.
The
ago-old story of what happens when a foul-mouthed, romance impaired
heroine with no edit button and a predilection for hot sex is faced
with her worst nightmare–a purpose.
Ari
Katz is intelligent, driven, and will make an excellent demon hunter
once initiated into the Brotherhood of David. However, this book is
about his twin Nava: a smart-ass, self-cultivated hot mess, who is
thrilled her brother is stuck with all the chosen one crap.
When
Nava half-drunkenly interrupts Ari’s induction ceremony, she
expects to be chastised. What she doesn’t expect is to take her
brother’s place among the–until now–all-male demon hunters.
Even worse? Her infuriating leader is former rock star Rohan Mitra,
whose sudden retirement in his early twenties now seems a lot less
mysterious.
Convinced
that her twin still has a shot at his destiny, Nava hatches a plan to
convince the Brotherhood to bring the other Katz sibling into the
fold. It’s too bad Rohan’s guarding her so closely that she might
not be able to put it into action.
And
it’s really too bad Rohan’s exactly what Nava’s always wanted:
the perfect bad boy fling with no strings attached, because he may
also be the one to bring down her carefully erected emotional
shields. That’s as dangerous as all the evil fiends vying for the
bragging rights of killing the only female ever chosen for Demon
Club–or the one demon in particular out for payback.
Odds
of survival: eh.
Odds
of having a very good time with Rohan before she bites it: much
better.

Excerpt:
The
maybe-demon from Josh’s alleyway was back, having stopped about
five feet away and triggering the motion sensor. What with Josh’s
sister trying to kill me and all, he’d fallen off my radar.
Aloe
gooped over my fingers, having clutched the frond hard enough to
break it, and my terror and an intense curiosity resurfaced. There
was no denying his compelling presence. Plus, he had those long
lashes that were my Kryptonite. I opened my mouth to scream. Or
drool.
He held
a finger up to his delectable lips to keep me quiet, circling me with
lazy strides, checking me out.
I’d
have been offended by the blatant appraisal except under his intense
scrutiny, I lit up with an electric zing. I found myself stroking the
aloe stalks in an obscene manner. Even knowing he couldn’t see my
blush since I was in the shadows didn’t kill my utter mortification
at jerking off plant life in not-so-subtextual yearning.
He
stalked toward me, his leather jacket rustling with each step.
I held
up a hand to stop him, the faintest electric crackle pulsing off my
skin.
He
didn’t stop, didn’t slow. In fact, he kept up his steady approach
until his hand covered mine. My magic shocked us both at his touch. I
gasped and shivered as pleasure, not pain, rumbled through me.
Hand
still clasped in his, he stared at me suspiciously, instead of in
fear, but had I wanted, I could have broken his hold. Not a demon,
then? He fingered the thin silver necklace I wore with surprising
gentleness, toying with the cute floral pendant dangling off it that
read “I will kick you in the balls if I have to.”
“Should
I be scared?” Given how he sounded like sex, sin, and
salaciousness–the true definition of a triple threat–I decided
that yes, he was most definitely a demon.
I met
his mocking gaze, my rooted stance and beating heart placing me
somewhere between morbid fascination and noping the hell out at warp
speed.

A global
wanderer, hopeless romantic, and total cynic with a broken edit
button, Deborah writes adult urban fantasy to satisfy her love of
smexy romances and tales of chicks who kick ass. She is all about the
happily-ever-after, with a huge dose of hilarity along the way. “It
takes a bad girl to fight evil. Go Wilde.”
