It is the spookiest month of the year, and today I share a scary excerpt from my debut novel, Love Hurts (A Redcliffe Novel). There is nothing gentle in my books. You have been warned!

Excerpt

Suddenly he was on his feet, so fast I didn’t see. He lunged at me and I screamed, jumping back as he grabbed for my neck. He fell to the floor and I backed up, finding myself pressed against the wall, staring at him in horror. He had tried to bite me! He wasn’t human. I couldn’t move; my body was frozen in fear as I watched Jack gather himself and stand up slowly. It wasn’t Jack that looked at me from those beautiful blue eyes. It was the monster from my dreams, and I screamed as he lunged at me again. I called his name, trying desperately to bring him back.

In a blur of movement someone pushed me away from Jack and put himself between us. It was Marcus. His eyes were glowing silver, his face white, and then he turned to Jack, restraining him, whispering to him. Jack went still in his arms and Marcus turned his head to me, looking very human again. 

“Are you alright, Jessica?” he asked gently.
