Hi
and thanks for hosting me today! I’m Jennifer James. Today I want to introduce
you to my newest release, COVERT CRAVING. It’s book one in a series I’m calling
Project Genesis. Unlike my other series books, this series I’m actually
planning on containing to a trilogy. (Although I’m holding on to the right to
change my mind about that.) This book follows Chloe Saunders and Jacob Greiff,
two people who are a little . . . different. *grin* Check out the blurb and
excerpt to learn more about these two characters.
BLURB:
She
just stripped in front of an NYPD detective...
The glow-in-the-dark water at
Camp Sunny Woods left Chloe Sanders with the ability to disappear from sight.
Thirteen years later, she uses
her “gift” to take out criminals when she can. If she’s got to be part of a
freak show, she’s going to do some good while in the buff.
And
he’s enjoying studying every luscious curve…
Color blind detective Jacob
Greiff smokes to weaken the overwhelming messages his nose sends him. One
summer camp trip was enough for him. His priority right now is busting the
vigilante leaving burglars tied up with panty hose and women’s scarves.
He thinks he’s hallucinating
when he sees a petite, bare foot brunette in an enormous trench coat at his
crime scenes because for the first time in years, he’s seeing someone in full
color.
He’s
not sure he’s buying it, but Chloe sure looks great when she’s “invisible.”
Despite his own supernatural
abilities and the raging lust between them, Greiff wonders if Chloe isn’t some
kind of nut who gets off on public nudity. She insists she can disappear from
view when naked, that he’s the only one who can see her when she’s in the buff.
Their shared past comes to a
treacherous intersection when a man shows up at Chloe’s apartment and informs
them at gun point it’s time to report for duty—or else.
EXCERPT:
Chloe looked the detective over and
rolled her eyes. She paused at her apartment long enough to chuck her purse
inside. He followed her back to the elevator and she wished she’d put on a
different outfit. One with underwear and a bra. The man was so hot most of her
thoughts were consumed with taking clothes off, not keeping them on. And he
kept looking down her top at her boobs. Part of her, the perverse part, wanted
to yank up the tank top and flash him to see his reaction. She’d been naked
loads of times in front of people, but they didn’t know she was there. It made
the whole nudity thing seem mundane.
Except for where he was concerned.
Every time she felt his gaze moving over her butt or breasts, hell, even the
back of her neck, arousal curled in her belly and set goose bumps marching over
her skin.
“So, what else do you have to get for
your neighbor?”
“A pigeon and a cheesecake.” She
glanced at him from beneath her eyelashes and caught him staring. He chuckled
and shrugged. “You can buy the cheesecake as well, since I’m providing you with
a peep show.”
“Can’t help myself.”
“Right. Look, if you keep doing that
I’m going to have to insist on tit for tat.” They continued down the hallway,
he with both hands shoved in his pockets, Chloe with her arms swinging freely.
“And what would that imply?” His voice
dropped an octave, bringing the damned goose bumps out in force.
“Simple. I show you mine, you show me
yours. Although, you’re in the red right now, since the subway incident.” The
words thrilled her. She’d never had the opportunity to engage in this kind of banter.
She should be on the road and headed for a new town and existence. Instead she
was here, defying protocol, flirting with a hot-ass cop, and outright
challenging him to a sex game.
“I disagree. If I accept your
challenge, it starts now. We’d have to start over again, so technically I
haven’t seen any naked body parts.” He pressed the button on the wall to call
the elevator.
She glared down her nose at him and
crossed her arms over her breasts. The effect didn’t work too well, since he
was much taller, but she gave it her best impervious-haughty-queen bee try. His
lips twitched and he stepped closer. She narrowed her eyes, fighting the jumble
of excitement and nerves in her belly before taking a step of her own forward.
The front of her flip flops bumped into his dress shoes.
“I think you’re trying to work the
system here.” The heat of his body and the tingle of sexual arousal had brought
her closer than she realized, and their chests collided.
“Maybe. I’m attracted to you.” He put
his left hand on the wall next to her head. “I want to kiss you.”
“Yeah?” She ran one finger down his
tie, tracing the pattern. The elevator bell chimed and the door slid open. A
few steps to the right and she could be inside. The intensity in his eyes held
her still.
“Yeah.” He brought his right hand out
as well and stroked the exposed skin at her waist between tank top and pants
with his thumb. “May I?”
