We’re happy to celebrate the release day party
for “The Promise” today, a steamy
paranormal romance novel by author Kim Carmichael.
Read an Excerpt!
He tilted his head. "You look
older."
She forced herself to blink and to remember
her goal. "Then I assume I am at last old enough to be a fit for a
demon." She stepped forward, stopping less than a foot away from him. The
back of her throat dried out, and she swallowed.
He put his hand to his chin, his gaze taking
her in. "This old song and dance. When will you use the brains you have
and leave it alone?"
His words hit her, but rather than retreating,
she moved closer. The energy, the tingle, the wafts of spice encompassed her
and lured her toward him. "Never."
"You were smart last time. Why don't you
release me so I can do what I came here for." He glanced down at her and
then shifted his focus beyond her. "I have needs as well."
"Tonight I am the one you came here
for." The mention of his last visit stung, but she willed herself to keep
going. She ran her fingers up the buttons of his shirt. "You always told
me to take control."
He shook his head. "A lesson you learned
well."
She reached up and clenched his collar in her
fist. "I let you go last time, but tonight I am the one you need."
He grabbed her wrist. "I spared you
before. Never forget that."
She stared right into his eyes. No weakness
was allowed tonight. "It's me, Dolan. Me, or you can be celibate until the
decade I do you the favor of dying. I don't care about your pain." She
tensed, preparing herself for his retaliation.
"I thought I taught you better than to
make demands of a demon." He pressed his palm to the side of her face.
Heat radiated through her body, sending a
warning to every one of her nerve endings. "A demon who comforts a child
is a failure of a demon in my book."
His jaw tightened. "That was a mistake.
An oversight."
About The Promise
Title:
The Promise
Author:
Kim Carmichael
Genre:
Paranormal Romance
Demon Dolan Ciar
exists on three simple words: desire, denial, and destruction. Every four
years, he is allowed one night of earthly passion to punish a deserving female.
By the time he is finished, his victims are left as willing receptacles for
demons yet to come.
Since she
was four, a demon has been the only constant in Leora Desmond's life. He taught
her how to seize control, to never give up, and to take whatever she wanted. At
twenty-four, her self-centered existence is focused on one thing. She wants
Dolan, and she won't be dissuaded.
A mistake
brought Dolan to Leora. A promise bound him to her. Returning once again to ask
for his freedom, he is faced with Leora demanding to be his next conquest. The
ultimate retribution would be to take from her the ultimate symbol of her
selfishness.
Now, Dolan
must decide if he can doom her to life in living hell or face his own set of
unearthly consequences, while Leora must choose between her pleasure and her
heart.
The
Promise blurs the line between good and evil, desire and love, and promises
and commitment.
