Today, I'm sharing a snippet from Spread (Lust, Love and Darkness) which is nominated for book of the month at The TBR Pile (any votes much appreciated). I've been working on book 3 and I hope to have it finished soon. Madrid is on lockdown, but I'm working from home which is eating up a lot of my free time.
Stay safe and enjoy reading!

Hands trembling, she put on her headphones and opened the music app on her phone. The loud rock riffs surrounded her, obliterating every sound from the exterior but still incapable of shutting down the turmoil in her brain. She grabbed a handful of cereal and stuffed it into her mouth. The crunch mingled with the melody, but still she couldn’t keep him at bay. Antonio. His name flashed in her subconscious. Loud. Bold. Present when he should be gone. Her stomach clenched, and she belched, acid bile rising to the back of her throat. “Fuck.” She knew this would happen.

That’s the amount of time Betty has to hang on to her sanity. The time she needs until another of Antonio’s deathversaries rolls by. Four more days before the nightmares subside and the memories return to the past.
The problem is life around her doesn’t stop, and when she meets Rayden, long forgotten passion sparks to life. But can she move on with Antonio’s ghost looming over her?
Rayden hasn’t forgotten. Nor has he ever forgiven himself. When Betty comes into his tattoo parlor, he realizes who she is and even at the cost of his libido, he is determined to help her follow her dreams.
Time ticks fast and as their desire grows insatiably and the anniversary of Antonio’s death creeps closer, pleasure and pain blend into one.
Rayden doesn’t want to hurt her. But can he keep her from harming herself?

She's really struggling with his passing, but understandable.
ReplyDeleteHeart breaking. I've been there. You deal with this so well.
ReplyDeleteNothing says time to let it go like acid reflux. Our hero should calm those symptoms down.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back--and hooray for sisters. I just voted, dear girl, and you're 50/50 with Kingdom Cum.
ReplyDeleteNice job showing what we turn to in stress--food, loud music. It's all very believable. Easy to relate to.
You show her distress well. Glad you're staying safe. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteA vivid excerpt and I liked the way even the music couldn't quell her thoughts. Great imagery when she crunches on the cereal...I always enjoy your prose. Another terrific snippet!
