Because I’m feeling a little lazy today, I’m posting a random excerpt. Keep in mind, it’s unedited, so any typos or poor word choices are entirely my fault! And because it’s sexy, you better be old enough to read it! š
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The meager light from the dash didnāt pierce the intimate silence that settled inside the cab of Justinās truck. Dani snuggled close to Justin all the way to Roweās ranch. His hand smoothed along her side, sliding under her arm to cup her breast and squeeze. She lifted her arm to give him access. Then his hand glided down, right between her legs, and she eased her thighs apart.
āShould have worn a damn skirt,ā he grumbled.
She laughed and unbuckled her belt, opened her pants and eased back, giving him room to sneak his hand inside.

This morning, I opened my mail to a wonderful surprise. I found another great review for Lockdown, this time from Romance Readers Connection.
“…Ms. Devlin weaves a tale that is raw, erotic, and imaginative. The sexual aspect of this story is phenomenal, both in the sheer eroticism and in its creativeness. The investigation side of the story has just the right amount of intrigue. It was a pleasure to read and I will definitely recommend this fantastic read!”
What’s cool is that I’m managing not to be too predictable. I’ve been at this a while. Sometimes writers retread an old tire because they know it has sold for them in the past, but I just can’t. I have to be excited about what I write, and I always hope that readers will be excited too.
I hope you’ve all bought your copy of Stone’s Embrace. I know you will love it too! It starts in the Louisiana bayou, but heads quickly to Hell. Hades, the ferryman, and The Fates are as real as the girl at the checkout stand. Tell me what you think when you’re done. I’d like to know if I finally jumped off the ledge with this one! 
In the meantime, I’m working on revisions of a cowboy mĆ©nage. Something sexy, but that will also make you squirm because one of the characters is acting like a jerk. I’m doing my best to figure out exactly what his problem is so he’ll cooperate and let me get this story right!

Lust trapped them in darknessā¦only love can free themā¦
From Fallen Angels Reviews: “…STONE’S EMBRACE is a wonderfully descriptive story that draws you right into the heart of the action. The mix of Greek mythology with Christian elements is intriguing and adds to the subtle layering of eroticism and exoticism…Delilah Devlin shows her considerable talent for world-building as well as for creating raunchy sex scenes that’ll leave you sweating…this story is fantastic and a super-hot read!”
From Just Erotic Romance: “…The sex in the book was off the charts hot! There was sex with a statue, and a mĆ©nage with a god. It will definitely leave you breathless. I really enjoyed Stone’s Embrace. It was a wonderfully different story with a strong characters and a fun plot that left this reviewer breathless!”

If you haven’t read the excerpts, do! I know you won’t be disappointed with this story. It has it all. A rugged, sexy hero, a damsel in distress who rescues the hero while he sacrifices himself…
Well, you just have to read it. š

No kidding this time, I have a winner—but you have to wait to see who until the end of this post!
So, I think you know quite a bit about the book by now. You know it’s sexy as HELL. You know the hero is a powerful gargoyle come to life at the touch of my gifted (or cursed, depending on your point of view) heroine.
Maybe you don’t know the kind of research I did for this story. Or that I have a love of mythology and folklore that feeds my imagination. In this case, I decided to visit old friends.
When I was a third grader and very bored with the pace of my schooling, I had a teacher whose bookshelf wasn’t limited to children’s books. Every day when I’d dashed through the reading lesson, she allowed me to take down her copy of Bullfinch’s Mythology, and I’d get lost inside fantastic tales about Pandora and her endless curiosity, proud Achilles and his fatal flaw, but especially, the original bad boy, Hades.
Even then, I’d read the story of his abduction of Persephone and wonder why the girl didn’t grow up and let go of her mother’s apron strings to appreciate her man’s single-minded devotion.
Yeah, I know. Can’t you just see a skinny, straggly-haired little blonde with her nose forever in that book? I hated moving up in grade because I had to leave my own special dog-earred copy of Bullfinch, but by then, I’d discovered the joys of the library and continued to feed my addiction.
So keep in mind when you read Stone’s Embrace that I had fun re-envisioning Hades and his Underworld.This won’t be the last you’ll see of him.
Here’s a little peek at mighty Hades…
Petra followed Octavius’s footsteps, through a long stone tunnel in unrelieved darkness, only the crunch of his feet on the uneven floor to guide her.
A reddish glow grew brighter at the end of the tunnel, welcoming them into a room that seemed crudely fashioned for a creature that was viewed as a god, perhaps even the Satan of Christian lore.
A large fire pit dominated the center of the room. Small boulders formed a ring around it with metal fittings in the ceiling above and sunk into rocks ringing the pit. It was a crude smelter of sorts, she guessed, from the number of implements resting in the hot fire.

News about yesterday’s winner is at the bottom of this posting!
Book Three

The last book in the series is Vivi Anna’s Demon Dreamer. Take a look at the excerpt, and then try to tell me that all three of these stories don’t intrigue the hell out of you!
Submission is the only path to his salvationā¦
Born a seer, Kiara Brodie has always been feared for her power to see othersā fantasies. Sheās fine with thatāit keeps the men of her Irish Gypsy caravan at bay. She wants more than this transient life. A letter from her estranged father, summoning her to Louisiana, could be her long-awaited chance to put down roots.
She finds two half-sisters she never knew she had, and an old mansion haunted by a darkly sexy demon who inhabits her dreams. At night he whispers to her of carnal delight, enticing her on a journey of extreme pleasureāand pain.
Malvo knows just what to do with the curious woman who wandered into his lair behind the library bookcaseālock the door behind her and make her a lustful proposition she canāt refuse. He seeks to temporarily ease his lonely torment, but Kiaraās willing and wanton response opens his eyes to the possibility that she is his path to his own salvation.
If only she is willing to remain captive to his every sinful desireāforeverā¦
Warning: Contains every sinful fantasy you have ever secretly entertainedāincluding some of the deadly ones. Being bad was never oh, so good!
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Excerpt
The demon, with the dark sinuous markings across his back and around both powerful arms, tried to buck off the man clinging to his back. But the man held tight to the demonās neck, squeezing, pouring every ounce of energy into his hands. He mumbled an incantation under his breath, the words foreign and unrecognizable.
Its face grimaced in pain as it continued to twist and writhe, swirling the man back and forth like a great bull bucking its rider. Bloodied tears trickled from the corners of its closed eyes.

I have yesterday’s winner, but you’ll have to work your way to the bottom of this post to find out who won Kimberly Kaye Terry’s SCREAM MY NAME. Today’s prize will be an autographed copy of DARKNESS BURNING!
Like I said yesterday, each of these stories is standalone, but if you want to enjoy the full series, there is an order to the books. I’ve included two excerpts. The first you may already have seen. The second, sexier excerpt is one I’ve never shared.
Book Two

Lust trapped them in darknessā¦only love can free themā¦
Petra Pedersen has lived as a recluse all her life thanks to a genetic double whammyāa strange deformity and a shameful power inherited from the father she will never know. The power to incite lust in men and women with just a touch.
Exploring the garden of the mansion sheās just inherited, she comes across a fascinating stone gargoyle whose raw, passionate expression draws her to caress its broad chest. Her imagination follows her fluttering fingers. As she closes her eyes and gives herself up to the arousal, something shifts beneath her touch.
Long ago, failure to stop a demon battle trapped Octavius in a prison of stone. Freed by the womanās incendiary touch, he doesnāt hesitate to unleash his pent-up rage and desire in a blistering fury. Yet once the haze of lust clears, he discovers he isnāt really free after all.
They are both trapped in another realm where he must choose between his last chance for redemption or returning Petra homeā¦
Warning: Sex with inanimate objects, lusty m/m/f mĆ©nages with godsā¦itās all good when the reward is freedom.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Excerpt #1
Louisiana 1909
Octavius rammed his shoulder against the heavy oak door. The lock and hinges gave and the door crashed backward with a satisfying thud, raising dust that sifted through the air like silver-gilt fireflies in the moonlight. Wary, he stepped across the threshold. Inside, the house was dark, the air thickātoo heavy to be natural.
He knew, without reeling in the psychic tether that kept him chained to the Grigori, that Bacclum was here. That the bastard had found the demon. He prayed he wasnāt too late to save Bacclum from his own insatiable lust for power. The consequences of his failure would mean his own end.
