author Cynthia Eden spins a hot new paranormal Purgatory story
with…DEAL WITH THE DEVIL.
Eric
Pate is used to making his own rules—as the director of the PARA
Unit, he is the boss. Everyone rushes to obey his commands, and no
one knows his secrets. No one ever gets too close to him. But then he
meets her.
Ella
Lancaster is tired of being a prisoner. She escaped one hell just to
find herself in another, but Eric doesn’t consider her containment
with his agents as punishment. He actually thinks it is a form of
protection. But Eric is so very wrong. Ella doesn’t need
protecting, not for anyone or anything.
But
when the PARA Unit comes under attack, Ella and Eric both find
themselves battling a supernatural beast that they never expected.
Forced to join forces, to make a deal, Ella and Eric are soon
fighting side-by-side, and their attraction for each other can’t be
contained or controlled. Hot. Wild. Consuming. Ella’s deal with her
devil is soon taking over her life.
And as
Eric falls deeper and deeper under the mysterious Ella’s spell, his
legendary control begins to crack. The beast that he has kept chained
so carefully inside rises to the surface. Unfortunately, when the
devil loses his control…there is real hell to pay.
Excerpt
“Have
you looked long enough?” he asked. His voice was a deep, dark
rumble. Sexy.
She
didn’t want to find anything about her jailer to be sexy. This
attraction she had to him—it was odd. Unwanted.
But…there.
Instinctive. Primal. Even her heart was already beating faster,
and not just because she thought escape was at hand. Because he was
close, and he stirred her.
Ella
lowered her hand away from the glass. She was going to try logic
with him first. She’d plead her case. Perhaps that tactic would
work.
And
perhaps not.
“You’ve
had plenty of time to look
at me,” Ella murmured.
“I suppose I thought it was only fair for me to have the same
opportunity.”
His
jaw hardened. Just a small movement, but she saw it and Ella liked
that she’d gotten to him.
“Did
you think I didn’t know? I could feel it when you were close.”
She motioned toward the mirror, then toward the video camera mounted
near the ceiling. “I think this was all a bit…much, don’t you?
I mean, I’m locked in. It’s not as if I can plot some terrible
wickedness here.”
“You
can plot it,” he allowed, “you just can’t carry it out.”
Ella
took a step closer to him.
He
offered her his hand. “It’s time we were officially introduced.
My name is Eric Pate, and I’m in charge of the FBI’s Para Unit.”
She
stared at his hand.
The
Para Unit. There had been
whispers about that group for years. Government agents who policed
the creatures that went bump in the night. According to the gossip
she’d heard, if a supernatural got on the wrong side of the Para
Unit, well, that supernatural found his—or her—butt tossed into
Purgatory.
Is
Purgatory real?
Ella
was very much afraid that it was.
“I
don’t bite,” Eric murmured. His hand was still offered toward
her.
“No.”
Ella cleared her throat. “I think that’s my deal.” Because she
didn’t want to show him her fear, she put her hand in his.
Heat.
Her
breath caught in her throat. And, yes, she still breathed. Her heart
still beat, she could still feel pain and pleasure. Despite the tales
heard by so many, paranormals were still alive. They could hurt,
they could feel…just like humans.
Ella
had thought that the man before her was cold. Emotionless. After
all, a darkness seemed to cling to him like a shroud, but when they
touched—fire seemed to ignite in her hand. Her heart beat even
faster, nearly racing out of control. Her breasts ached, as if
wanting, needing a lover’s touch. And—
She
tried to pull away.
But
his hand tightened around hers. She could feel the strength in that
hand.
“Is
something wrong?”
Yes,
you’re what’s wrong! The
man before her was far from human, no matter what he wanted to
pretend. And she should not
be reacting to him that
way. His scent wasn’t human. It was just slightly…off.
Everything about him was, yet she was still feeling that pull between
them.
