Blurb:
Grayson “Gypsy” Gabor loves the ladies. As a matter of fact,
the more the merrier. Life is good. That is until a mishap with a sexy-as-hell
redhead leaves them mated. The eldest of vampires, Vlad Tepes, gives him a
choice: Keep her or give her up for all eternity to his one-time best friend,
Anton.
Tamera Cantrell sets her sights on the Vice President of the
Sons of Sangue, Gypsy. But after a night gone wrong, she finds herself caught
between one vampire who hates her and one who adores her. Now Tamera’s only got
three short months to prove to the one who despises her that he can’t live
without her.
Add in one Mexican Cartel, a vindictive primordial vampire,
and a rival MC out for blood, and Gypsy has his hands full with club business.
When Tamera’s life becomes endangered, Gypsy must act quick or chance losing
her forever.
EXCLUSIVE excerpt from Sons of Sangue: Gypsy:
Tamera let out a sigh and prepared for battle. It always was
with Grayson. “What do you want, Gypsy?”
“Now that’s no way to treat your mate.”
“Then maybe you need to act like one.”
His nostrils flared, his obsidian gaze traveling the length
of her.
“Don’t tempt me.”
Tamera laughed, feeling none of the humor. “That’s rich,
Gypsy. I could strip naked and lay in that bed and you still wouldn’t act like
a mate. So what is your real reason for being here?”
“Blondy.”
“What about him?”
“Stay the fuck away from him.”
“Are you serious? You don’t want me. You’ve made that
perfectly clear.” Tamera’s voice trembled in her rising ire. “Vlad isn’t giving
me much of a choice here. It’s you or Blondy. And you have made it perfectly
clear you don’t want in on that equation.”
“You are still my mate until I say otherwise.”
“Since when have I been anything other than a thorn in your
side?”
“E così vero, it is so true, il mio dolce rossa.”
Tamera hated when he called her my sweet red. It was a
wasted term of endearment. His gaze traveled about the room, no doubt seeing
little change. Tamera had been careful not to put her stamp on the place. She
wanted Grayson to be able to move back in without his room being a constant
reminder of her as the previous occupant should she be given to Anton. He
shouldn’t have to suffer for her actions. Even though she wished Grayson would
pick her, she certainly couldn’t fault him if he didn’t. That didn’t mean she
would make his decision easy for him. Hell no, she would fight him every step of
the way.
His black eyes landed on the unmade bed and stayed a long
moment before glancing back at her. “You haven’t taken communion.”
It wasn’t a question, it was an accusation. She crossed her
arms over her breasts, trying damn hard to ignore the fact his desire had
kicked up when he had taken in the satin sheets. The scent of human blood all
over him overshadowed that of his rising lust. He hadn’t bothered cleaning up
before entering his old domain. Normally, he wouldn’t have come near his old
room while she occupied it. Why now?
“Like you care.”
“I’m not heartless, il mio dolce rossa.”
Tamera let out a harrumph. “You could’ve fooled me.”
“Never doubt that I desire you. That has never been an
issue.” He took the last few steps separating them, leaving only a hand’s width
between them. He leaned down, close enough his breath fanned her cheeks. “Trust
me, il mio dolce rossa, I would much rather fuck you than stand here arguing
with you.”
Tears welled in her eyes. “You’re quite the romantic. You sure
know how to woo a woman.”
“There is nothing romantic about my intentions where you’re
concerned.”
Grayson’s lips were but a breath away from touching hers,
and God help her, she wanted to taste him, no matter how crude he treated her.
And damn if she didn’t hate herself for it.
“Then why not take what you want?” Tamera fisted her hands
at her sides to keep from reaching out and touching him. “You and I both know I
would never deny you. I’m already yours.”
The infuriating vampire growled, but instead took a step
back. She felt the separation like a bucket of ice water. “Don’t mistake my
desire for anything other than it is, Tamera. No matter what my dick wants, my
heart still hates you.”
She couldn’t have stopped the tears from falling if she tried.
The last thing she wanted was to give Grayson her dignity, and yet she had just
handed it to him. Her heart ached at his beauty, beauty which would always be
denied her. He really was a son of a bitch. She wanted to hate him, return his
scorn. Yet, she only felt the heartache.
Another knock sounded on the door. Grayson’s gaze stayed
focused on hers. “Come in,” he growled his response.
A young female donor walked into the room. Too cute for
Tamera’s liking. She grit her aching teeth as she watched Grayson’s eyes roam
over the petite young blonde, the complete opposite of her. Bastard. Tamera
thought he meant to feed from the woman, right there in front of her, but
instead he walked beyond the donor and said over his shoulder, “Eat,” before he
quit the room.
Tamera collapsed to the bed, no longer having the energy to
stand. But before she could succumb to tears, the young donor walked over,
knelt between her spread knees and tilted her head to the side, offering Tamera
her artery. She could no longer deny herself. Grasping the woman’s neck in one
hand, Tamera sank her fangs into the donor’s flesh and drew in deep, mimicking
the donor’s moan at the first taste of the woman’s blood.
