  White Hot Kiss   
  
  ABOUT WHITE HOT KISS: 

One kiss could be the last. 

Seventeen-year-old Layla just wants to be normal. But with a kiss that kills anything with a soul, she's anything but normal. Half demon, half gargoyle, Layla has abilities no one else possesses. 

Raised among the Wardens—a race of gargoyles tasked with hunting demons and keeping humanity safe—Layla tries to fit in, but that means hiding her own dark side from those she loves the most. Especially Zayne, the swoon-worthy, incredibly gorgeous and completely off-limits Warden she's crushed on since forever. 

Then she meets Roth—a tattooed, sinfully hot demon who claims to know all her secrets. Layla knows she should stay away, but she's not sure she wants to—especially when that whole no-kissing thing isn't an issue, considering Roth has no soul. 

But when Layla discovers she's the reason for the violent demon uprising, trusting Roth could not only ruin her chances with Zayne…it could brand her a traitor to her family. Worse yet, it could become a one-way ticket to the end of the world.   

  EXCERPT: 

“I don’t think of Zayne that way!” 

She laughed. “What man-parts-loving female in this world doesn’t think of Zayne that way? I can barely keep myself breathing when I see him. All the guys in school have squishy waists. I can tell Zayne doesn’t. He’s the awesome sauce with extra sauce.” 

That he was and he so didn’t have a squishy waist, but I tuned Stacey out at that point. I really did need to cram for this test and I also didn’t want my fantasies involving Zayne to occupy my mind right now. Especially after I’d woken up this morning, carefully tucked under the covers. The bed had smelled like him: sandalwood and crisp linen. 

“Oh, sweet baby Jesus in a manger,” Stacey murmured. 

I clenched my jaw, cupping my hands over my ears.

She jabbed me in the side with her elbow. At this rate I’d be covered in bruises before lunchtime. “Our bio class just got a billion times more interesting. And hotter, lots and lots hotter. Holy mother, I want to have his babies. Not now of course, but definitely later. But I’d like to start practicing soon.” 

The cell wall is a thick and rigid layer covering the plasma something, something plant cells… 

Stacey stiffened all of a sudden. “Oh my God, he’s coming—” 

Composed of fat and sugar— 

Something slender and shiny fell from who knew where, landing in the middle of Sam’s notes. Blinking tightly, it took me a couple of seconds to recognize the faded and half peeled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles sticker covering the back of the silver cell phone. 

My heart slammed against my ribs. Gripping the edges of the notebook, I slowly lifted my gaze. Unnaturally beautiful golden eyes met mine. 

“You forgot this last night.”

  3. I love the title! I like the sound of this hot demon she could kiss while the warden with the soul she could probably kill. Great conflict.

    In other news, I'm in the middle of the third season of The Walking Dead. Does the show give you nightmares? Let me just tell you I don't think zombies heads are that squishy because in my nightmare I stabbed and stabbed the zombie (aiming for the temple of course) and the whole time I was shouting that the show was full of shit because it wasn't working! In my other nightmare I kept calling the funeral home to make sure my plot was dug out and ready to go! Maybe too much too soon? I hope you and the fam are on the other side of this flu.

    1. It's a searing kiss! White hot! Lava hot! LOL! Once in a while I have a nightmare or so. Nope, they wouldn't be that squishy, at least I don't think so. But you know, TV magic and all that. Maybe you ought to take it easy. I'm worried about what you'll dream up next. :)
