This week I’m sharing another excerpt from my latest release The Blood Doctor. In this scene, Dulcie brings Matthew to a family gathering for the first time. It’s also the first time he’s ever been around a group of other vampires.
Don’t forget to stop by the Weekend Writing Warriors Blog for more excerpts!
Excerpt:
When they returned to the fire, the others had gathered to eat salad, fruit and rare meat. The delicious scent of it cooking over the flames wafted on the air. Dulcie filled a cup with cranberry-colored punch, sipped from it, and passed it to Matthew.
At the first taste, his gaze met hers in question.
She smiled mischievously.
Raising an eyebrow, he asked, “Is that what I think it is?”
She nodded.
“Where do you get it?”
“My mother makes it. Don’t worry.” Dulcie ran her thumb across his lower lip.

Dr. Matthew Winter and artist Dulcie Evans are opposites on the surface, but she’s exactly what he needs to explore the vampiric nature he has fought all his life to restrain. They’re meant for each other, but Dulcie’s jealous ex-lover will stop at nothing to reclaim her. To protect himself and his beloved, Matthew must fully unleash the vampire inside him.

I’m going to take it that the cranberry colored punch isn’t red from cranberries. This scene is such a tease! I want to know more about this gathering and what exactly they’re eating and drinking! Tweeted.
LOL! Ocean Spray? I think not.
Cranberries, I think not. Intriguing snippet. Great writing.
