I invited Tamara Hughes, a fellow Soul Mate Publishing
author, to stop by and share her new book with my readers. Take it away,
Tamara!
Released just a few months ago, Bewitching The Beast is a
paranormal romance about a man possessed by a dragon spirit that is taking over
his body and mind. Time is running out when he meets an untrained witch who has
power over the beast within him. Unfortunately, she has no idea she comes from
a line of witches and has no experience with spirits and possessions. The two
of them band together in the hope she can find a way to free him before it’s
too late, and of course, they find love in the process.
Book Blurb:
Ethan Lockwood hates what he’s become—a slave to a parasitic
monster whose victim’s names pepper the obituaries. He’s possessed by The
Beast, a dragon who feeds off human spiritual energy. After a year of fighting
The Beast’s demands, Ethan is losing the battle. The creature is taking over
his mind, body, and soul. When he spies Tess, he can relate to her weary look
and the sadness in her eyes, but her aura shines like a beacon, attracting The
Beast. Ethan is forced to drain her energy, but for a split second, she subdues the creature inside him, compelling the
spirit to slumber. How? Can she somehow free him from The Beast? Ethan chases
after her. He can’t afford to let Tess die.
Since her fiancé’s
death, Tess Edwards struggles to find new meaning in life. She doesn’t expect
that new meaning to involve a sexy photographer who says he’s possessed by an
energy-stealing beast. He claims she’s in danger and that he’s the only one who
can save her. Great. He’s a nut job—cute, but delusional. She doesn’t believe
in dragon spirits and magic, not until she finds her grandmother’s Book of
Shadows. She’s descended from witches, and the book warns her of her fate.
Although the beast inside Ethan needs her alive, he isn’t the only one of his
kind. There’s another, and he wants Tess dead.
Excerpt from Bewitching The Beast
Tess
knew guilt. As a former Catholic schoolgirl, sometimes she felt like she had a
sign on her back that read “Guilt trips work here.” What else would explain why
she’d let Holly talk her into coming here tonight? When Holly had found out her
boyfriend, Wade, had invited his bro Jay out for New Year’s Eve, she’d begged,
“Tess, I’m going to end up being the third wheel. Please come out with us. Save
me.”
Blind
dates sucked, and this one wasn’t going to be any different.
Flashing
strobe lights distorted the movements on the dance floor, while a pulsing beat
rattled the glasses on the tall table in front of Tess and reverberated through
her chest.
The
Mood on New Year’s Eve. Big whoop.
She
downed the last of her champagne and set the flute on the table, then turned
from the dance floor to the seating behind her. Couches and plush chairs were
grouped together toward the back of the club, each seating arrangement dimly
lit by hanging cone-shaped lamps. A group of five women sat huddled together, deep
in conversation. They whispered and chatted before twisting in their chairs to
ogle someone seated along the opposite wall. Tess followed their stares to an
ungodly handsome man—gorgeous in a model-meets-biker sort of way. His wavy,
dark hair brushed the tops of his shoulders, framing his angular jaw and
piercing eyes. A black leather jacket hugged his broad shoulders, while snug
jeans emphasized his lean build.
His
gaze edged her way, and their eyes met and held.
Her
heart jumped, then skipped in a circle. Without thinking, she smoothed her
dress. Everything seemed to be in order—no toilet paper hanging, all the
important parts covered. His look captivated, mesmerized. Her skin tingled as
if he’d touched her, like the brush of his fingertip along her thigh. An
intoxicating thrill raced through her body, something that hadn’t happened in a
very long time.
