When Tasha Hinkey was younger her Grandmother told her she should believe at least one impossible thing per day. Lately it’s been five, before breakfast!
After shooting the man who killed her best friend, Tasha is on the run. She’d expected that. She also expected to be alone. But she certainly never included being followed by a sizzling hot vampire into her plans. Micah Dartrazinski insists they are destined to spend eternity together.
Eternity? Tasha just wants to get through the next couple of weeks!
Excerpt:
When he finally pulled off the road into a gas station, I climbed out of the car and rushed to the bathroom. Only to find, much to my consternation, the damn thing was out of order.
“What have I done to deserve this?” I whined and stomped back to my Stratus, which was really a feat since my bladder was about to burst.
I glared at Micah like it was his fault.
“Use some of your magic and fix the toilet. The damn thing is out of order.”
He just looked at me and shook his head.
“Then use the men’s room. I’m a vampire, not a plumber.”
“Look, Dr. McCoy, I have to take a piss.” I was deliberately crude because I knew he didn’t like it. “And if I don’t go soon, I’m going to spring a friggin’ leak!”
“The things I do for you,” Micah sighed and shook his head. He got out of the car, stalked to the ladies room and pushed the door open so forcefully, it banged against the wall.
The noise was so loud it drew the attention of the two old women at the gas pumps filling an old, baby blue Cadillac. They both watched him enter the women’s restroom and giggled behind their hands.
I fought the urge to glare at them and wondered if one of them was responsible for the condition of the toilet.
When I heard the sound of the toilet flushing, I hurried to the open door. Micah stepped out and walked toward the car. He did his best to look like a big, bad dude as he walked toward my Stratus. His dark sunglasses hid his eyes and his black leather pants hugged his rear. The man was six-foot-six of total male perfection. I had to admit he did look cool. I gave him a slow once over and grinned.
“Hey, honey?” I called after him.
He turned toward me all tall, dark, good looks and testosterone. “Yes?” He bit the word out, clearly peeved that I made him use his powers for something so nasty.
“Could you fill the car up while I’m in here?” I asked as I slowly backed away from him. I was in the restroom now, with the door almost closed.
He nodded once. “I intended to.” He turned and started to walk toward the car again.
“One other thing, honey,” I said, to draw his attention once again. When he turned, I was glad those dark glasses prevented me from seeing his eyes. Otherwise, I might not have had the nerve to go on.
“Yes?” He bit the word out from between clenched teeth.
I coughed. “You have toilet paper stuck to your shoe.” I slammed the door just as he looked down to discover the little rider he had attached to his boot and shook it off. His expression was priceless.
