BLURB:

 

When hairdresser Tatum Fox takes part in a séance at a party, her only thought is of the attractive man sitting beside her, the mysterious Zack, who appears in her dreams that night and who she hopes to see again. However, when she begins to experience paranormal activity and finds herself confronted by an unnerving client at work, she discovers that the séance summoned a demon – and Zack may be the only person who can free her of him.

 

Zack reveals himself to be an angel, and shows Tatum that she also has the power to battle supernatural creatures – a power that is increased through sex with him. Their connection soon strengthens, but is Tatum strong enough to defeat the demon with Zack by her side – and can there be a future with an angel, or is their passion doomed to end?

Excerpt One:

 

“You’re not into this, are you?”

 

The voice, low and male, cut through Tatum’s thoughts. Automatically, she looked across the table at its owner, wondering at the same time how she had even heard him. He was on the other side of the table and conversation was going on all around them, yet she had heard him as clearly as if he had spoken directly into her ear.

 

She didn’t recognize him. His dark hair was slicked back, revealing high cheekbones and a chiseled jaw, a surprisingly modelesque face she was sure she would have remembered if she had seen him before. Ice blue eyes were focused on hers, a mysterious smile flickering on his lips.

 

“It’s not my thing, but I’ll go with it.”

 

“Mine neither.” His smile broadened just a little. “I’m Zack, by the way.”

 

“Tatum.”

 

His voice was still low, deep, and yet seemed to be cutting through the surrounding noise as though directly connected to her ear. Nobody else seemed to be paying attention.

 

“Ouija boards are an uncontrolled medium. Too many people, not enough care, not enough … respect.” Zack threw a glance at Nicole, who was swigging from a glass of punch. “Anything could go wrong.”

 

“So why are you doing it?” Tatum knew the question could have been directed equally at herself, but somehow she found herself wanting to know the answer.

 

Zack arched an eyebrow. “Somebody has to be in control.”

 

His eyes were still locked on hers, and Tatum felt a dark flush cover her face. To have somebody’s attention so tightly focused on her made something tingle low in her gut.

 A pivotal scene in my story and why it’s important

My heroine, Tatum, doesn’t know her own strength. As far as she’s concerned, she’s just a hairstylist aiming to become a colourist. But my hero, Zack, knows she has supernatural powers – and he also knows she’s in danger. Which leads to my favourite scene in the story; the scrying scene.

When Zack suggests Tatum and some others hold a séance at his place, Tatum’s main interest is in seeing his flat. She’s heard of scrying – looking into a mirror and trying to see a spirit looking back at you, essentially – but has never tried it, nor is she expecting much to happen. Until suddenly something does. Amongst her friends fooling around and saying “Candyman” as they look into their mirrors, Tatum sees something she wishes she hadn’t, and Zack immediately knows what she’s seen.

Tatum’s new client, Dante, appears in the mirror, appearing inhuman and terrifying.

Dante, you see, is a demon – and he has his sights set on Tatum. Zack knows she has supernatural abilities, but Tatum has no idea how to use them. It’s down to Zack and the connection they have to help Tatum defeat Dante once and for all.

This was one of the first scenes I planned and was one of the inspirations for the title. Tatum is fairly skeptical about the paranormal and when she initially meets Zack, at a séance held by another friend, she sees it as nothing but a good time. Zack is the only one who can show her that there are darker forces at play and Tatum will need all the strength she has, as well as Zack’s support, to fight them off.

I hope my readers enjoy reading the book as much as I enjoyed writing it!
