A Bite in Time by Viki Lyn and Vina Grey
A dangerous
secret, a vampire, plus one sexy cop is a recipe for trouble.
JOHN REEDER has
accepted his love for VINCENT KAMATEROS, but he doesn’t know his lover is a
vampire. When aderanged vampire targets Vincent, John has to deal with
uncovered secrets that blow his life apart.
Will Vincent
reveal his true nature to protect the cop who has come to mean more than his
own life? In doing so, he might ruin his only chance for a ‘happy ever after’
with John.
Teaser Excerpt:
“Euro
for your thoughts?” Vincent teased as he kissed John’s neck.
“Maybe
a dollar. At least I can spend it at home.” John touched Vincent’s face. “I wish
we had another day, that’s all.”
Vincent
kissed him and John’s cock nudged forward.
John
pulled away. “We better get going. Shower first.”
“Good
idea.” Vincent charming smile hinted of mischief.
Warmth
spread across John’s chest. Shit. He was officially a sap reacting so easily to
Vincent’s charm.
Biting
his lip, he stood and pressed one hand on Vincent’s shoulder, stopping him from
rising. “Alone.” How to explain the need to build back his defenses, so once
they returned to Arizona, his
relationship with Vincent existed, once again, in the privacy of their homes.
“We’re
leaving in an hour,” John added, putting an end to fooling around.
Vincent
leaned back on his elbows, his legs stretched out giving John an eye full of
what he’d miss showering alone. John ran his hand across his scalp, ogling but
not caring.
“More
reason for me to shower with you,” Vincent said. “Once we’re home, you’ll stuff
me back into the closet.”
The
hairs on John’s nape stood as a flint of anger lit in him. Vincent read his
thoughts and it was goddamn irritating. Then his shoulders slumped. Jesus. A
big, bad cop scared of coming out. It had been a few months since he committed
to making their relationship work. He was beginning to trust Vincent
completely, and planned to make headway, but damn if he hated Vincent baiting
him about coming out.
Didn’t
Vincent get it? He didn’t like being pushed against the wall. And yet he had
made a promise he would make the attempt. That he wouldn’t let his attitude
come in the way of a relationship. To be fair, Vincent held back his
impatience, most of the time.
“This
has been great,” John waved his hand to take in the room. “But it’s a far cry
from Arizona. Julie
knows, and I’m going to tell Free, but I’m not ready to tell my peers or my
parents.”
No
matter how much he craved for an open relationship, once back in Arizona, he’d be
Detective John Reeder, straight son of Irish Catholic parents. Sure he’d made
slight progress, telling his sister he was gay. But from asimple thing like telling
his sister who’d already guessed to coming out to his parents was a long
fucking way. Yet, guilt overwhelmed John every time he pulled back from
Vincent’s touch in public, the hurt in his lover’s eyes eating at him.
Vincent
slipped on his robe, his good-natured teasing vanished. “John, when will you
face who you are? A gay man with a boyfriend who loves you. I refuse to be
treated as a shameful secret.”
Love?
Did he say love? Oh fuck.
About the Authors:
Viki Lyn:
What inspires me - the
reality that romance between lovers is a hope more than a guarantee. My stories
are an eclectic mix of contemporary and paranormal, but it is always romance that
drives the story to its final happily-ever-after. There's nothing better than
reading a good book over an espresso, watching a movie or trying out a new
restaurant. I'm the author of several gay romances, including Last Chance,
Rainbow Award winner for the Best Gay Paranormal/Horror. Viki’s website is

Vina Grey:
Vina Grey loves writing
about romance. Two people finding each other, the two-step before they get
together and the happily ever after, have to be the best story ever. Throw in
some paranormal elements and she's in heaven. Vampires and cops, anyone? She
loves to jabber away with anyone about books, so drop her a line at

Hi Dawn, Thanks for hosting us today! Vina and I have been asking the question - who floats your boat, John (blue eye all american detective) or Vince (dark haired vamp)? The book covers were created by the talented Lex at Winterheart Design. And we can't wait to reveal the third cover in Love's Last Bite, the final arc in John and Vince's story.
HI Dawn, Thanks for hosting us.
Cheers, Vina
Interesting bios
