"What Tastes Better Than the Forbidden?" by Regan Summers

Thank you so much for having me, Lori. I’ve discovered so many wonderful authors and stories from your blog, and am honored to be here.

I thought I’d share a couple of excerpts from Don’t Bite the Messenger. This story started as an urban fantasy, but once Malcolm Kelly stepped onto the page – with his quick smile and wicked mouth – it expanded to include a solid romantic thread. Yes, sometimes I do write stories just to get my fictional characters’ clothes off.

Malcolm isn’t your typical alpha male. He’s a little too shifty for that, and prefers to work behind the scenes rather than directing. But he has a great sense of human, is surprisingly considerate and undeniably hot. He’s also firmly off-limits to Sydney Kildare, our heroine.

“He was like the drunken midnight-sun skydives I used to do: a bold, beautiful, very bad idea. It had been so long since I’d done anything fun.”

Syd’s a recovering wild child, and while she’s trying to be good, Malcolm appeals to instincts she’s been holding back for years. He doesn’t even have to speak to make a case for himself.

“He moved behind me, so close I could feel the warmth of his body. He traced the underside of my arms, pausing on a jagged scar on my left forearm before catching my elbows and pressing upward until I stretched my arms over my head. His hands ran down my sides, fingers gentle over my ribs and tickling light against my stomach. I opened my mouth to take in air and tasted the tropical night. I knew for a fact that it tasted nothing like him. It was raw where he was smooth, sweet where he was smoky.”

I hope that you enjoy reading about Sydney and Malcolm as much as I enjoyed getting them together.

Don't Bite the Messenger by Regan Summers 

Anchorage, Alaska

The vampire population may have created an economic boom in Alaska, but their altered energy field fries most technology. They rely on hard-living—and short-lived—couriers to get business done…couriers like Sydney Kildare.

Sydney has survived to the ripe old age of twenty-six by being careful. She’s careful when navigating her tempestuous clients, outrunning hijackers and avoiding anyone who might distract her from her plan of retiring young to a tropical, vampire-free island.

Her attitude—and immunity to vampires’ allure—have made her the target of a faction of vampires trying to reclaim their territory. Her only ally is Malcolm Kelly, a secretive charmer with the uncanny habit of showing up whenever she’s in trouble. Caught in the middle of a vampire turf war, Sydney has to count on Malcolm to help her survive, or the only place she’ll retire is her grave…
