She can heal the dying… Two men—enemies of her people—will stop at nothing to have her gift, her desire and her love.
The Prophecy, Book 1
Trapped in a blood feud, Liz uses her healing power to bring Zeke Neekoma from the brink of death so her clan can exploit his prophecies. During the ceremony, she drapes her nudity over his, experiencing his building strength, the stunning pleasure of his caress as he takes her without warning, using her as he wills.
His hunger for a woman he's supposed to hate isn't what Zeke expected, nor does he intend to deny himself. Kidnapping Liz, he's resolved that she heal his brother Jacob ambushed by her people. At his stronghold, Zeke keeps Liz captive to his and Jacob's desires. The brothers pleasure her without restraint and in ways she's never known. Before, her life was filled with loneliness and wanting. Now…
Used by two powerful men, threatened by her clan's determination to get her back, Liz risks all as she surrenders to Zeke's and Jacob's lust, the ecstasy of their touch and her most traitorous needs.
Excerpt from Come Fill Me
He lay in the center of the king-sized bed. His breaths were quiet, his eyes closed, legs sprawled, one arm draped over his head as though he was sleeping.
The bullet holes in his muscular left pec contradicted that notion.
Forcing down a swallow, Liz pulled her attention from his wounds—three perfect black circles—to his face.
Her lips parted on a quiet sigh. Rarely had she seen a man wear such a look of serenity. So unlike the terror she'd witnessed on Carreon's features or those of his men when they'd been so close to death.
Zeke Neekoma was different. The words boyish and innocent came to mind, which Liz dismissed quickly.
Looking to be in his early thirties, he was no boy. Nor was he innocent. His size, surely six-three, his sharp, masculine features and powerful form were perfect for battle against men and pleasure with women.
Heat suffused Liz, making her limbs feel heavy and weak. She recalled what Carreon and his men had told her about Zeke, no doubt a mixture of truth and lies. Not knowing which was which, she moved deeper into the dimly lit room. Spanish-style lamps created pools of honeyed light, giving the space a sacred feel one might experience in a church. The cherry-wood four-poster dominated the sparsely furnished chamber, while a series of leather wing chairs—reserved for observers—circled the bed.
The man who'd been guarding Zeke left the room. Carreon and his men went to their seats, their weight causing the chairs' legs to scrape against the polished hardwood floor.
For one foolish moment, Liz thought the intrusive noise would cause Zeke to open his eyes and lose his blissful expression. That he'd ask why they'd pulled him from such blessed rest and what appeared to be happiness.
This man didn't want to be healed. Liz knew it in her soul; saw it in the upward curve of his beautiful mouth. Was he the same as her father, tired of fighting? Or was he welcoming the end so he could reunite with someone he'd loved?
His parents and siblings, perhaps…or a wife.
A new rush of warmth stung Liz's chest.
Disturbed by the sensation and her aching loneliness—the need for a powerful yet good man at her side—Liz recalled what Carreon's lieutenants had claimed the first night she'd come here.
"He'll murder our women and children so our line dies out, just as his kind have always wanted."
If that was the truth, then Zeke was no different from Carreon, who hunted the weakest, eliminating them first. Once more, she examined Zeke's face, lingering on his mouth. Instead of a sneer or a smirk, she imagined him smiling at her, his grin honest, reaching his eyes, his wanting of her obvious and—
Stop it.
What was the matter with her, indulging in a romantic fantasy when she was well aware of their people's conflict and unending hatred for each other? Even if Zeke wasn't a murdering psychopath, he wasn't likely to be stirred by a woman from an enemy clan. So why was he affecting her like this? Was it a power he had…or something else. Perhaps the truth as to who he really was?
Ignoring her persistent longing, Liz replaced it with a healthy dose of distrust. "This is Zeke Neekoma?"
"You sound surprised," Carreon said. "Why?"
