EXERPT:
He opened his eyes, knowing Violin Girl was
still staring. Still trying to piece him together. Slim and cool as an ice
pick, she seemed so apart from everything. She came into the room to do a job,
and just the job. The only emotion came out of her instrument, not a damn thing
showed on her face.
The need to show off overrode the nerves
that had been plaguing him. He somehow found a reservoir of talent that had
been absent and the reward of a quivering vibrato stirred her into action.
She lifted her violin and played her part
with the recording. He stood at the window, amazed at the difference between
this Margo and the one he was used to seeing in the studio. Her eyes closed.
The cool façade slipped away. And when she opened her eyes again and her gaze
collided with his, he looked down to see the doorknob in his hand.
He opened the door and the live music
drilled inside his chest. A humming high note lured him out for more, but he
stopped at the threshold. She was utterly lost in the sensual element of the
song. Her elegant fingers slipped up and down her fret board with a precision
that he’d never even hope to achieve. The notes were as fluid as a guitar, but
the lower registers added a full-bodied element that hadn’t been there before.
Margo was actually walking toward him,
breaching the doorway to his cell. Her eyes were huge and dark—he couldn’t tell
where pupil met iris. All he could do was drown as his voice lowered in
reaction. His cock curled in the confines of his jeans until it dug into his
thigh.
Ignoring the involuntary response to the
sexual undertones of the song, he paid attention to the way his voice molded
around the lyrics. The words tasted as smoky and biting as black
licorice—undeniably different and overwhelming on the tongue. She stopped a
heartbeat away and mouthed the words with him. Her honeysuckle scent rolled in
with the chest-thumping whine of strings under a bow instead of pick.
Her hand fell to her side, the bow and
lightweight violin clutched in the elegant fingers of one hand. He brushed the
backs of his knuckles down her cheek. Her pulse fluttered madly in her throat
as she swallowed. Taking the instrument from her, he set it in the corner of
the room and returned to her side.
He traced her jaw, following the line of
her throat, dipping his thumb into the half circle dent of her collarbone. A
tiny pearl hovered on a chain so fine it barely glittered in the dim light. He
spun the bead, then leaned in and tucked his tongue underneath to taste her
skin.
She shuddered, but didn’t step back.
Instead she tipped her chin back and gave him greater access. He tugged at the
pearl, feeling the sandy grit to the tiny treasure. Bumping his nose deeper
into the collar of her blouse, he reveled in the spice and flower scent he
found. Deeper and stronger at her pulse points.
God, he loved the rich flavor of her. He
needed to know if her tongue tasted just as spicy. If her lips were cool or
hot, wet or dry. He palmed the back of her head, knocking her clip to the floor
so her hair twined around his fingers and wrist.
His other hand slid along her hip, lining
her up and yet giving her more than enough time to back away. To walk away if
this wasn’t what she wanted. Her wide brown eyes weren’t so cool now. They were
curious. They remained open as he flicked his tongue along her full upper lip.
She rolled that full lip into her mouth with the tiniest flash of tongue, then
pressed her lips flat as if gauging his taste. He slid his thumb behind her
ear, tipping her face up as he went in for more. Her tongue tentatively slid
along his. Coffee and caramel warred with the coolness of her mouth.
When her breath mingled with his, he gave
up all pretense of letting her go.
He sealed his mouth over hers and demanded
her full participation. She moaned as their tongues twined and he stepped into
her space. She dug under his shirt into the skin along his back. When her nails
bit into the flesh of his ass, he scraped his way down her chin to her neck.
“This doesn’t stop with a kiss, Violin
Girl.”
“Margo,” she said on an uneven breath. “If
we do this, you better know my name.”
“Margo,” he agreed. No, he wouldn’t forget
her name. Ever. Then his mouth was on hers again. They both fought for
dominance, but he couldn’t settle back and let her take control. This wasn’t
his usual roll for fun and distraction. He couldn’t sit back and let whatever
happened happen.
Her taste infected him like a lyric that needed to be absorbed
and understood. A lyric that would burrow into his brain for years. Like “The
Becoming”, he needed to understand and devour her until everything was clear.

Book 1 in the NA rock star series, Lost in Oblivion

Coming in September
Onstage he’s Demon, the unsurpassable bassist.
Offstage he’s the Peacemaker, the mastermind who keeps his volatile band from imploding.
Opening for their idols on their first ever tour, Oblivion is living the dream. That dream becomes a nightmare when Oblivion draws more attention than the headliner and egos clash. Frustrated at being shoved out of his mediator role by their new manager, Deacon McCoy loses himself in brutal workouts only coming up for air long enough to refuel—and that means hunting down the catering truck at odd hours.
Especially the deliciously cute chef who excites his taste buds as much as his body.
The child of roadie parents, Harper Pruitt has heard every pickup line twice. To her, musicians are one step above the scraps on her cutting board. All she wants is to get enough experience to run her own catering company, but Deacon and his bottomless and surprisingly gourmet stomach is too tempting to resist. Before long, she finds herself wanting to experiment with him outside the kitchen.
When Harper sees that Deacon’s sense of responsibility is doing him serious damage, she realizes he’s far from the typical rock star. But as the band's fame grows, she wonders if she can love a man who doesn't know how to let anyone in—even her.
You met Deacon McCoy in SEDUCED, now you can watch just how far a big man can fall.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
BIO: Cari Quinn
USA Today bestselling author Cari Quinn wrote her first
story—a bible parable—in 2nd grade, much to the delight of the nuns at her
Catholic school. Once she saw the warm reception that first tale garnered, she
was hooked. Now she gets to pen
sexy romances for a living and routinely counts her lucky stars. When she’s not scribbling furiously,
she can usually be found watching men’s college basketball, playing her music
way too loud or causing trouble. Sometimes simultaneously.

BIO:
Taryn Elliott
I'm from the
great state of New York--upstate NY, thank you very much. My family consists of
a brother who takes care of keeping the snarky side of me alive and a dog that
is more spoiled child than mutt. My writer-friends are the glue that keeps my
crazy ideas more in the sane category, and my non-writerly friends are the
reason I'm not a complete hermit. I can't go a day without laughing and I truly
do fall in love with each and every one of my leading men as I write their
book. Music is life and every story has its own soundtrack.
