Blurb: Royanne longs to be free
of everyone's expectations. Meeting a mysterious stranger who she is
drawn to confuses her. He feeds her longing to be free and ignites a
fire inside of her. She is aroused by this tortured soul. When he
kidnaps her and reveals his plan, she is torn between loathing him
and wanting him.
Zachriel is under orders from the Dark
Master—kidnap Guardian demon Royanne. Only hiding away until the
coast is clear draws him closer to her, especially as she seems to
see the real man in him.
Rescued at last, Royanne feels
uncertain what to do. For Zachriel his past is revealed and he must
face the truth. This truth cuts to his very soul and makes him
question who he really is.
Now he must come to terms with the lie
that has been his life. Royanne fights her feelings for Zachriel. She
begins to see him as a kindred spirit. There is only one thing to do:
reveal her love for him. Can she convince him her feelings are real
and he is worth loving?

Excerpt:
"Oh, okay." Royanne seemed to
accept who he was. But then, he knew she would; being a demon with
the ability to possess minds, it was easy to mold her thoughts. She
stepped out of the doorway more into the alleyway.
That's good, feel comfortable with me.
"I saw you dancing, you move
well," he commented.
"Thank you. I am Royanne."
She offered her hand.
Yes, contact, that is what I need
again.
He took his hands out of his pocket and
reached out. His large, calloused hand enveloped hers, and her warmth
met his cold. She was soft, and he wondered if the rest of her was
the same.
"I'm Zach, good to meet you,"
Zach replied while inching closer. Touching her was enough to
establish a link to her mind. I have you now. She was still wary but
calm. Underneath the layers of her mind was something else. Need.
This I can work with.
"So, how you finding life at
base?" he asked, still holding her hand.
"Well, you know fun, fun, fun!"
she replied sarcastically.
He could feel she was unhappy.
"It all helps for the future, you
know." He sensed her need for freedom.
Royanne moved her hand away, but he
noticed she lingered at little as they released their grips. He had
her now; her mind was his, but he needed more. A taste of her, then
the link would be stronger. Damn, there were too many people passing
the entrance to the alleyway for him to make his move now. If he got
her wanting him enough to go to a hotel room, that would be perfect.
He could read strands of desire in her
mind. He planted more, he planted himself. This little Guardian was
proving easier to manipulate than he had first thought. But what did
they know of strength? All their kind was good for was the torture of
the young and weak. He was no longer young or weak. The Dark Master
had ensured they took care of him, nurtured, and trained to be a
warrior of worth. Zach reached out and touched her bare arm lightly.
With feather-like fingers, he stroked her skin. Royanne's gaze
drifted to his fingers playing on her skin. She had not recoiled,
which was good. He became bolder as he moved his hands to her
shoulder. Her skin was warm and smooth. Zach aintained eye contact,
knowing it would strengthen his bond with her. He caressed her cheek,
and he slid his other hand lower to hold her curved hip and then her
rounded ass. He massaged her ass cheek, and when no resistance was
apparent, he lowered to her pinky full lips that called to him to
kiss and claim. She seemed frozen to the spot. Yes, just as he liked
them, under his control, helpless. He had her mind.
Fire met ice. She kissed him back with
equal force, which surprised him. Does this Guardian actually want
me? Her hands drifted to his hips, and he felt her grip tighten, and
she brought him closer into her. Oh hell, she tastes so good. He let
his tongue play with her lips, then dart between them until she
parted those sweet lips. She was wet and warm just as he hoped she
would be when his cock entered her. He cupped her breast with one
hand and found her nipple taut. Kissing down her neck, he lowered her
strap down her shoulder to reveal a heavy breast waiting for him. He
played with her nipples with his fingers before his mouth took over.
He licked them all over, the tip of his tongue flicking backward and
forward.
"Oh yes," she groaned.
Then he took her wet nipple into his
mouth and sucked hard. Her hips moved with every suck. Zach wondered
how wet she was. He continued sucking but used one hand to lift her
dress up and brought the other hand straight to her panties. He was
delighted to find them getting damp. He pulled the seam aside, and he
discovered she was smooth.
"Oh, so wet for me, Royanne,"
he said as he kissed down her stomach. Her mind told him she wanted
his mouth where his fingers played. He tore the scrap of material
away and lifted her leg over his shoulder. He hungered for her, so he
went to work with his mouth and tongue. Licking around her swollen
lips, he sucked her clit before letting his tongue establish a
rhythm. Royanne moaned and grabbed his head, pushing her hips farther
into his face. The enemy tasted divine, sweet and musky. She was so
close, he could read her fully now.
But no! Control was important now. He
could not let her come here in this alleyway; he needed her alone to
complete his mission. He stopped and got to his feet. Her eyes were
dazed, and her mind was confused.
"Why did you stop?" she
questioned.
"Not here." He scanned the
alleyway. "I want you on a bed where I can enjoy you fully."
He knew she agreed.
"I'll get my purse and follow you
out," she said, straightening her dress.
My Question for Michaela
What
made you want to write erotic romance novels?
I am a
direct person. I can be subtle and very measured. I consider myself
to be a down to earth person. So why try to be different in my
writing? Could I do the sweet romance, holding hands and a few chaste
kisses? No. Writing erotic romance came naturally because it is
something I like to read. Sex is not dirty, to be hidden away behind
a closed door. It is passionate, fiery and freeing. For me writing is
about being free, doing what I want and in the way I want.
I know
that sounds selfish but as a parent, wife and employee I have lots of
time taken up with doing what other's need. So in my writing I do
what comes from within me. If that is erotic, sensual and passionate
then so be it.
You
have to be comfortable writing sex too. Each author has their own
boundaries – what feels right to them. Erotic Romance allows you to
do that. I also love establishing a strong emotional connection, that
deep bond that becomes stronger when the character's make love.
Also
erotic romance can come in all shapes and sizes. It can in suspense
or thrillers, embedded in a historical setting, featuring paranormal
creatures (a personal favourite) or in any genre you care to name.
What I am trying to say is that it is not just a genre but it allows
you to explore settings, places and people wherever you may care to.
However,
the story has to be central. Character's struggling to go forward,
dealing with the past or difficulties in the present. Chemistry that
cannot be denied- the sexual tension driving people on. Problems to
overcome, that mean some sort of struggle. I love the journey they
take and that ahhh at the end.
About The Author:
Michaela Rhua always dreamed of writing
but this never happened until she met the lovely group of ladies
known as UCW. Their passion for writing and encouragement inspired
her to see if she could do it too. Now she is multi published and
loves writing!
She has teenage children and a husband,
who also keep her busy. However, it is whilst travelling into work
that she has time to create her characters and imagine other places
in which they exist as her world skims by the window. Conversations
overheard often lead to the birth of new ideas that she scribbles
down in her trusty notebook.
