On the ninth day of pre-release the author gave to me…
…a sexy bucket list.
Most people think at some point or another about what they’d
do if they knew they had a finite amount of time left. Some say they’d go
skydiving or travel to that one special place they’ve always wanted to see. For
the heroine of my upcoming release Jaguar in the Sun, book four in the Unveiled
Seductions series, she’s drawn to have one day of passion with the man
she’s been attracted to for ages:
The elevator doors opened and she
stepped into the sleek, leather-lined interior to admire, as she always did,
the murals stamped into the skins. Done in a primitive, Mesolithic style and
colored with a variety of bright dyes, they were a feast for the eyes. Unable
to resist, she traced the figure directly before her, a half-man, half-jaguar
she always assumed to be Xbal. Her finger trembled as it struck her she may
very soon be touching the real thing, discovering and exploring what she’d only
dreamed of up to this point. The lurch of her stomach had nothing to do with
riding the elevator to the tenth floor but made the breath catch in her throat
and a shiver course over her back and shoulders.
As the lift came to a smooth halt,
she let her hand drop back to her side and took a deep breath, trying to put it
all back into perspective. In a little while she may or may not be sleeping
with a man she found entirely enthralling. In a short time she’d know whether
or not this particular long-held dream would come true or not. Yet, as much as
anticipation and trepidation crackled under her skin, and as exciting as the
prospect of fucking Xbal was, it wouldn’t be a life-changing moment.
Strange how knowing the end of your
existence was imminent gave one the kind of cutting clarity that would be
beneficial if you had more time to make use of it.
Oh, Cassie, if only you knew. Perhaps if she’d thought about
it a little more, she’d realize people don’t put something like this on a
bucket list unless it has deep, deep meaning to them. She’s opening Pandora’s
box by propositioning Xbal, and what lies ahead will indeed be that
life-changing moment she so easily dismissed!

Book four in the Unveiled
Seductions series.
Cassandra Solinar has a bucket list and jaguar god Xbal Montegro
is on it. About to undergo an essential rite she won’t survive, she wants to
wring every ounce of pleasure out of the time left. Including discovering if
Xbal’s sex magic technique is as good as rumored.
It’s no hardship for Xbal to accept Cassandra’s invitation for one
erotic encounter, but far more difficult to let her go once he gets a taste of
the explosive passion between them. Now he’s determined to hold on to her, no
matter what.
Cassie can’t tell Xbal the truth about what she’s about to do.
It’s illegal, but without her death the entire world will perish. It’s a job
she’s been preparing for from birth, but the loss will be greater now. For in
Xbal she finds a soul-deep connection she doesn’t want to lose, and the one
thing she made a point of not putting
on her bucket list—love.
