TUESDAY TEASER: ALEXIARES

This weeks teaser is from ALEXIARES, the second book in the Blackwell Brothers' Redmption series. KIERAN, book 3, is coming June 15th!

 

ALEXIARES

 Blackwell Brothers’ Redemption, Book 2

Some find redemption. Others land in it.

One moment, Alexiares Blackwell was reaping yet another human soul and gunning through New York City on his Harley. The next, he’s dropped into the path of an oncoming car in the small town of Redemption.

It turns out his dear old dad—the Grim Reaper himself—has decided that Alex needs a crash course in humanity. Literally. Now he’s stuck in a nowhere town with nothing but his motorcycle and some serious parent issues.

But no one messes with Death. Not even his sons.

Stripped of his powers, Alex is trying to figure out what his father wants from him—all while attempting to resist his increasingly complicated attraction to inn owner Cilla Wainwright. Alex can’t risk anything that resembles feelings…not even when she surprises him with a kiss that unravels him in ways he still can’t figure out.

Because Alex has a job to do.

And it’s starting to look a lot like the next soul he’s supposed to reap…is hers.

TEASER:

Kissing her wasn’t on his agenda. Then she’d looked at him with hunger and curiosity in her eyes. There was something about her that drew him in a way that defied logical explanation. It had to be because she was part of his assignment, nothing more.

He should have stopped the kiss before it started, should have stepped away, but had wanted to feel her lips beneath his, know the sweet taste of her. At least he’d had the presence of mind to keep his hands off her.

Cilla Wainwright packed a punch. She tasted like sunshine and honey, warm and sweet. The light fragrance of roses clung to her. Eight—he’d counted them—golden freckles were sprinkled over her smooth-as-cream skin. It was harder than it should have been to keep his hands off her.

There was a sense of innocence about her, which seemed odd considering he placed her in her late twenties. He barely knew her, but she’d proved calm in a crisis. She seemed to have a contentious relationship with her brother. There’d been no mention of parents, making him wonder about their status. Then there was the fact she was running this place.

There was much he didn’t know about her, but she wasn’t his priority. He was here to do a job—figure out whose soul he had to reap and complete the assignment. He couldn’t afford to get off task. The stakes were too high.

Seducing her would be a pleasant distraction, but it wasn’t on the agenda. His entire future hinged on getting this assignment right. The reminder doused his desire better than a cold shower.
