Borrowed Ember - Excerpt

Ari scrambled to her feet, trying to gain some equilibrium, but the room was so full of tension it almost shoved her back down. “Why would I tell you anything?”

He moved so fast.

One moment he’d been lounging like an indolent lord and the next her head almost brushed his chest as he towered over her by at least a foot. His gaze was soft on her, and he was careful as he reached down to curl a strand of hair behind her ear.

Ari shivered.

And then immediately blanched, thinking of Jai. Taking a step back, she shook her head. “Are you trying to seduce the information out of me now, Asmodeus?”

That glimmer from earlier shone from the depths of his dark gaze. “You are a curious thing. You are nothing like her. But before… I could have sworn I saw her. It’s not possible.”

“What are you talking about?”

He shook his head. “Nothing. I am just musing aloud that is all.”

“You should really leave, Asmodeus.”

“Why? Afraid you might succumb to my charms and betray your young Mr. Bitar the way you betrayed the sorcerer?”

A bolt of pure dislike for him shot through her, and he must have seen it in her expression for his own clouded over, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

“Why would I betray someone as good and kind and loyal as Jai Bitar for someone as soulless and empty as you?”

Pain lanced through Ari’s head as Asmodeus’ hand shot out, clutching her hair and yanking it back as he pulled her body into his. “Be careful,” he whispered across her lips, his breath sweet and at odds with his words. “I told you I bore easily and when I’m bored I like to toy with people. Try not to upset me.” He pulled back to stroke her cheek almost tenderly. “Or I might decide you and your Ginnaye make pretty little toys.”

And then he was gone in a blur of black, the door to her room slamming in his wake.

Ari sagged, falling to the bed, her legs trembling. She felt as though she’d just escaped being eaten by a jungle cat.



Now that you read the excerpt, look at what Samantha will be awarding 3 readers. One winner to win a signed paperback of Borrowed Ember plus swag (pen, poster, bookmarks, keyring and a magnet) and two runners up to win a paperback copy from amazon.
