When we first met, he rarely met anyone\u2019s gaze.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201cHello, Cupid.\u201d I pause in front of him and he continues staring. His heartbeat quickens and there\u2019s something in his scent &#8212; something that mingles with his mint cologne and natural musk that takes me aback.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>That scent is familiar, but unwanted for our present situation. The last thing I need right now is complications from this beautiful boy. I can only hope that Lucas has trained him well enough to know his place.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>About Bloodbloom<\/p>\n<p>(M\/M Erotic Paranormal Romance)<\/p>\n<p>Lance Bloodbloom: For years I\u2019ve served as an agent for the Sovereign Vampire of the USA. Since the demon occupation, I\u2019ve fought on the side of the rebellion. Now I\u2019ve been reassigned to the Savage Sage Club, which is also a safe house for refugees. My dilemma is Cupid &#8212; a former prostitute who now runs the club. From the moment I freed him from a sadistic flesh peddler, he stole my heart, but in my line of work, one can\u2019t have a heart. Despite this, when I finally see Cupid again, I doubt I can control my passion for him.<\/p>\n<p>Cupid: The night Lance rescued me from the dungeon where I\u2019d been forcibly turned into a vampire and mercilessly used for blood and sex, I knew I would love him forever. He sent me away, though, to a place where I could recover and build a new life, and I have. I\u2019m no longer a prostitute, and I run a club that is also a haven for members of the rebellion. Lance Bloodbloom is back, and I want him more than ever, so I\u2019ll need to convince him that love is possible, even for a centuries-old warrior.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.changelingpress.com\/bloodbloom-confessions-2-b-3074\">Changeling Press<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read snippets from other authors in the Weekend Writing Warriors Blog hop <a href=\"http:\/\/wewriwa.blogspot.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&rsquo;s Sunday and the WeWriWa blog hop is here!
