My Swoon for this week comes from a short novel I found while browsing the Apple iTunes Bookstore.


 

Before The Moon Rises

by

Catherine Bybee

The Blurb:

 

After a twelve-hour shift in a busy emergency room, Janet O’Brien is beat. Her last patient arrives unconscious and naked. She’s lead to believe he’s a psyche patient off his meds. However, once he awakens, Janet is charmed by his million-dollar smile and agrees to give him a ride home.


Werewolf, Max Ritter notices the sassy nurse when he wakes after a night under the full moon. Unfortunately, his archrival is drawn to Janet as well. In order to keep her out of harm's way, he opts to keep her close. When the chemistry between them sparks, Max discovers a completely new reason to keep Janet safe.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Swoon:

She turned around and peeled the sunglasses off her face. Her smirk told him she knew he wasn't talking about the view.

With her eyes glued to his, Max moved closer and stepped into her personal space. Janet's gaze moved to his lips, she sucked in a small breath.

Max placed one hand to each side of her, boxing her in. Brave, she didn't move away. His breath mingled with hers, he spoke against her lips in a whisper, "Your mouth is so full, so moist. It screams to be kissed."

Her tongue darted out. Her teeth caught it before it disappeared inside. The thought of her catching something else in those teeth made his blood boil. She lifted her chin in invitation. Max wasn't about to ask twice.

He lowered his lips to hers. She tasted sweet with a hint of spice. Her lips were pliable, a gentle nudge, and they opened for his tongue to explore. He kept his hands on the rail and pushed his body against hers. Static electricity surged through him, more than that, his body heated, shuddered. Her scent filled his mind and erased all rational thought.
