Devil Torments is a vampire living in a world where one manβs weakness paves the way for another manβs gain. When a gambling addict offers his daughter as payment for his debt, Devil accepts. Sex without strings is exactly the way he likes it. Love is a concept for fools, the ultimate weakness. Little does he know, heβs about to meet his mateβ¦
In order to protect her best friend, nurse Gabby Winters must bow to her abusive fatherβs demands and offer her innocence to a stranger. She never expected to feel anything, let alone find herself irrevocably tied to the man. But can Gabby learn to accept that Devilβs scars run deep, and the love sheβs spent her life secretly yearning for is forever out of reach?
If Devil thought that keeping Gabby at armβs length would keep either of them safe, he was dead wrong. When danger lands at Gabbyβs feet, itβs up to Devil to pick up the pieces. Will he come to realize that love isnβt a weakness and Gabby is his greatest strength, before itβs too late? Or will he lose the most precious gift of all?
Excerpt:
βWhat the fuck!β Devil shouted once the woman had left the office. To say he was furious would have been an understatement. Murderous thoughts ran wild through his mind.
βWho the hell told you she was a call girl?β
βIβll give you one guess.β
βThat asshole Harrison.β
Devil picked up the photo Jeffrey Harrison had given him. Only this time, his eyes saw something they had failed to earlier. The picture depicted the same woman from tonight minus the makeup. Her beauty and innocence shone through. How could he have missed it?
Β His murderous thoughts changed slightly. Instead of just killing Jeffrey Harrison, he planned on torturing the asshole first. What kind of father would sell their innocent daughter to pay off his gambling debts? No matter what sins he had committed, and the list was long, Devil knew that he would never contemplate such a thing. Yes, Jeffrey Harrison would pay for his crimes, and Devil would be the judge, jury, and executioner.
Though Devil had to concede that Jeffrey Harrison wasnβt the only one responsible for what had happened tonight. Devil had been just as responsible. He had been so wound up lately, that he hadnβt taken the time to appreciate this beautiful woman for what she was. Had he done so, he no doubt would have recognized the signs of inexperience and sent her away before he ruined her. Or at least recognized what she wasnβt, a call girl. He too needed to make amends, only it was for his stupidity and impatience.
As soon as he had seen the woman, he had become hard. It had been a long time since his cock had appreciated a woman so instantly. Her curves were on display in that tight little dress she wore. Heβd dragged her into his hotel room, desperate to hide her amazing body from passersby. He wanted to be the only one to view such a delicious sight. She reminded him of the women from his youth. They enjoyed their food too much to worry about what they looked like. He rued the day that body image became an important factor in a womanβs life. Now, the first woman to pique his interest in a long time, and look at the way he had treated her. It was an error he would make amends for, but first he needed more information.
βI say you get that fucker on the phone and letβs hear what he has to say for himself,β Viper said, his fae yellow eyes coming to the forefront, highlighting what his body language failed to. He was pissed. He was known as Viper because he struck his prey hard and fast; they never knew what hit them until it was too late.
Devil followed Viperβs advice, and a few seconds later a ringing tone could be heard through the phoneβs speaker. βHello,β came the wary greeting.
βHarrison.β
βUm, yes, Mr. Torments. Was there a problem with Gabriella?β The manβs question had Devil emitting a low, menacing growl.
βYes thereβs a problem. Sheβs not a call girl like you insinuated.β
βUm, yes, well,β the man muttered down the phone.
βWhat did you tell her to get her here?β Devil demanded.
βThe truth! Itβs not like sheβs innocent,β the man scoffed.
βWhat the hell did she ever do to you to gain such disregard?β Devil asked, furious at this manβs attitude toward Gabriella.
βShe existed,β the man replied with venom in his voice. βDo you have any idea how difficult she made my life once my wife found out about her? Her presence all but killed my wife.β
Hearing enough of this manβs viciousness, Devil stated, in a voice that left no room for argument, βTell me everything you know about her! Then you will stay out of her life. You will have to clear your debt with us without using your daughter any further. Do I make myself understood?β
The truth was, the money meant very little to him at the moment. Revenge was the only course of action in Devilβs mind. By the end of the phone call, he had this guyβs slow death all planned out. But first he needed to make things right with Gabriella. She deserved nothing less, and so much more.Β

About the Author:
One day my prince charming came along. He just took a wrong turn, got lost, and was too stubborn to ask for directions. Well that was how my first date ended up with a special man, who is now my husband. Yes, you read correctly, I married him and havenβt regretted a minute. Thirteen years later, I have two wonderful boys (three if you include hubby, which I often do) and Iβm following my dreams of writing romance books with HEAs, thanks to my supportive family.
I started writing several years ago. Mainly childrenβs books for my boys. Those will probably never get published. Then to quote Martin Luther King, βI had a dream!β As a rule I never remember my dreams, but this one I did, and I wrote it down. And the rest as they say is history. I currently have five books published and another due out in the next couple of weeks. At this stage they are all paranormal. What can I say? I love the big predatory mythological creatures so to offer them their own happy ever after was the least I can do.
