Today, I have pleasure in hosting Madeline Pryce and her book, Dark Cravings. Please make her feel very welcome by reading the excerpt and entering the giveaway (don't forget to comment!) at the bottom of the post. Thank you!
SYNOPSIS:
As a half-breed vampire, Ella Grey’s life sucks. She does her best to
pass the time killing demons and secretly admiring her Shadow Hunter partner,
Micah. He’s hot, dangerous and knows it. He’d be just Ella’s type if he weren’t
likely to kill her the moment she put a toe out of line.
A chance encounter with a succubus changes everything. From the second
the succubus’s spell washes over them, Ella and Micah are helpless to keep
their hands off one another. The sex, when it’s not leaving them on the verge
of death, is earth shattering and for the first time in ages Ella is connected
with someone on a level she’d feared lost forever. But a dangerous prophecy has
been set into motion, and if Ella’s not careful it’ll pull her straight from
Micah’s arms and into the deepest bowels of the underworld.
A Romantica® Paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave
Publisher’s Note: This book was
previously published under the title Blood Lust Rising. It has been revised and
expanded for EC.

EXCERPT #1:
Micah turned, looked at me. I took an involuntary step back when his gaze
hammered into mine. I sucked in a breath. Roy
said something, ‘bad plan,’ maybe? I couldn’t hear over the drumming beat of my
blood, or Micah’s matching rhythm. The room narrowed until the only thing I saw
was the way Micah ripped out his IV. Blood ran from his arm, dripped onto the
sheet underneath him.
He jumped out of bed and the moment his bare feet hit the linoleum floor
the lights began to flicker. Dazed, I stepped back. My heart was in my throat.
My stomach was in a knot. Micah looked…hungry.
“Mine,” he hissed.
The room went black and engulfed the hospital in a pandemonium of beeping
alarms and scampering feet. Micah grabbed me around the waist and pulled me
into the bathroom. The door slammed shut behind us. Micah’s mouth closed over
mine. His kiss was brutal, punishing and decadent.
“You shouldn’t have come. I knew the moment you stepped into the hospital
I wouldn’t be able to control it. Something is still inside my head,
whispering, taunting…it told me you’d come.”
Hard, pressing, he pinned me against the closed bathroom door. Someone
pounded on the other side and each blow vibrated against my spine. That small sensation
was nothing compared to the hammering beat of Micah’s heart. Sandwiched between
the door and his hard body, the only sensations I registered were heat and
want.
Mine.
Micah reached down, twisted the lock on the door. The warmth of his
breath painted my cheek, but the only thing I cared about was his cock against
my stomach. His erection was thick and long. I rolled my hips against the bulge
and heard his breath stutter.
The lights flickered on. Despite the brightness, the only thing I saw was
the possession in his eyes.
“I need you,” he whispered against the shell of my ear before he sucked
the lobe into his mouth.
Micah drew his lips down my neck, licked. He used his teeth and scraped them
along my flesh. Desperation filled me. I needed him. This. Needed his passion
more than breath…more than blood. A deep, throaty moan escaped me when he
trailed his hand up my stomach, under my sweater. He closed his hand over one
swollen breast. I grabbed his hips, pulled him between my thighs and molded our
bodies together. I met his hungry gaze and the intense attraction between us
exploded. This was bad.
Threading his fingers through the tangle of my hair, he tugged my head
back. My whimper encouraged him to pull harder. He drew in a deep breath and I
watched him tremble.
Hot and demanding, he pressed his open mouth along my throat, over my
chin. He slanted his lips over mine and slid his tongue into my mouth with an
urgency that stole my breath and my heart.
Madeline Pryce wrote her first novel when she was ten, penned with
neon-pink ink in a loose-leaf binder. Captivated by romantic literature, yet
intrigued by the paranormal, she continues to develop her own voice, writing
the kinds of stories that inspired her as a teen.
Thank you Lynn for hosting me today! <3
