Raze and Slake must navigate a dangerous world to be together. What he doesn’t count on is being caught himself by a web of lies-and his attraction to Raze. All he has to do is capture a runaway succubus named Fayle and hand her over to her family. But he also wants to earn back the soul he sold when he was a much different demon. Slake is an assassin used to getting what he wants, and what he wants is Raze. But his carefully structured world turns upside down when he meets a mysterious male who makes him want what he can never have. He finds some solace in his work as a medic at Thirst, a vampire club known for its rough clientele. Thankfully, he and his best friend, Fayle, have an arrangement that keeps him alive. The problem is that he doesn’t desire females, and it’s physically impossible for him to be with males. May every sacrifice be worthwhile!īlurb: As a Seminus demon, Raze’s life literally depends on having sex with females. So here’s to love and the costs involved. In Base Instincts, our medic hero, Raze, is forced to make a painful choice in order to be with the male he loves, and Slake, our other hero, must risk his very life and soul. Now, granted, relationships in fiction can come with much more dramatic and dangerous risks. Then there are all of the family issues involved in a relationship – what if your parents and/or siblings don’t approve of your partner? What if you have to sacrifice the relationship with your family in order to be with the partner you love? Marrying him meant that we would be moving every 1-3 years and that my career would, basically, be over.įor his part, he knew that for much of our marriage, he’d be gone and I’d be left alone at home while he was out to sea. When we met, I had a great job with the National Weather Service, and he was serving in the U.S. I know that in my own relationship with my husband, we both made sacrifices in order to be together. It made me think…do all relationships require sacrifice? They face violence, betrayal, and even death to be with each other. entries.Īnd please don’t forget your email address in your comment so Riptide Publishing can contact you if you win!Īs a very observant person pointed out, the heroes of my newest Demonica book, Base Instincts, embark on a dangerous journey on their way to true love.
