Erotic Paranormal Romance - Short Story
At first, Rayne
Gerard is annoyed when the strange man tries to persuade her away
from purchasing the diamond she's been bidding on. Yet when she
gets a better look at the well-built and stunningly handsome Dyson
Montgomery, Rayne is entranced. She tries to keep her focus on the
silent auction bids as she and Dyson talk about gemstones, but his
mention of The Emerald of the Evening – a legendary peridot – has
Rayne focusing on him completely. Legend claims that whoever
possesses The Emerald of the Evening has the ability to bestow
immortality on another person, and Rayne, better than anyone, knows
just how true that legend is. In fact, two hundred years ago,
Rayne's lover betrayed her when she refused to share the stone. Is
Dyson connected to the long-ago lover who will stop at nothing to
restore his immortality, or is he simply curious about the legend?
From the moment
he watched Rayne walk into the auction house, Dyson knows he wants
her. While the attraction is obviously mutual, he doesn't expect
anything to happen tonight. So when she suddenly invites him to her
home, Dyson knows that something more than mutual lust prompted her
actions. For the chance to get to know Rayne better, Dyson goes
along, and he plans to find out what's going on later. However,
nothing could have prepared him for what the future brings.
FOREVER IN HER
EYES is an intriguing erotic romance. Rayne has kept two secrets
for three hundred years; her immortality and the truth about The
Emerald of the Evening. The betrayal by the first person to show
her love has kept her from looking for it since, leading to a very
lonely two centuries. Dyson fires up her libido as no man has in
all that time, but his knowledge of a gem that nobody has talked of
in decades also rouses her suspicion. Is Dyson working with her
enemy, or possibly the only person who can stop him?
As in a lot of
short stories, the relationship moves quickly from strangers to
intimacy, but not unbelievably. Interesting characters with
undeniable chemistry and a few interesting plot twists make FOREVER
IN HER EYES a story that should not be missed.
