The seven Sinster
sisters are entwined in a legacy originating back
from the time of the Italian Wars in the 1500s. One by one, they’ll find their
mates from the immortal Valendite Breeds and secure their place in history.
After escaping a
kidnapping, Sadie returns to her carefree life as a dancer,
turning away once again from the realities of her destiny as a Sinster sister.
This time, she takes a job in Vegas to hide away. Burdened by the soul sin of
Sloth, Sadie can’t seem to care about the prophecy that consumes her family.
Granger, on assignment with TEU, heads to Vegas to protect her. Everything
is going as planned until he discovers Sadie is his mate and then all bets are
off. Now his mission is not only to protect Sadie until the prophecy is
fulfilled and the danger abated but he must also
convince her that accepting their destiny will make her stronger. He doesn’t
have much time because as they hide out in the city of sin, her sisters await
her to join their circle and forge a magic stronger than steel.
Sadie is about to find
out that she holds the final key to saving her race.

Excerpt
The mission was simple and
he got the added reward of coming to Vegas. He’d scored at a few blackjack
tables while he waited for the club to open and, with some luck, maybe he’d
score tonight with one of these near-naked waitresses coming by.
The shadowed worry that had
been following him over the past few months hadn’t yet gone away. Granger
couldn’t seem to shake the feeling that trouble was on its way and now sitting
in this club, the shadow clinging to him with a deeper fervor, he knew it could
all come back to Sadie. After all, it had all started with her. This feeling
began the day he’d rescued her.
Granger adjusted himself
and got comfortable in the plush booth, ready for the sweetest surveillance
he’d ever done. If Sadie were here, he’d find her. There was no missing the
hellfire with flaming red curls. He’d seen her through his scope when doing
parameter watches during her sister’s Pronouncements, but had never seen her as
up close and personal until the day of her rescue. Only then, she’d been a
mess. He suspected she’d be more presentable in this little club tonight.
Madden gave him strict
mission orders though. Hands off the merchandise. Granger was to inform Sadie
of the latest risks and do what it took to bring her back to the compound. That
man was no fun since he was mated.
The music stopped and the
stage lights went on. Granger watched as at least a dozen women filed out onto
the stage in tight corsets and tiny panties accented by heavy snow boots,
fingerless mittens, and fuzzy hats. Apparently, someone had the wrong idea
about winter apparel, but who was he to complain when the view was this
spectacular? Granger surveyed the line of women on stage. His eyes moved back
and forth twice before they locked on those blue eyes he remembered. Instead of
sallow and tired, they were vibrant and bright. Her skin that had been caked
with mud and grime was now like porcelain, so clear she could’ve been a
mannequin. He blinked and looked away as a rush of that same anxiousness washed
through him. What the fuck?
When Granger looked back at
the stage, Sadie was in the front line coming down the stairs. He was certain
music was playing and that these women were dancing, but he’d developed tunnel
vision. All he saw was his mate—without any doubt, it was his mate—with her
bright flaming red hair now fringing her face, the hat she once wore on the
floor, and the scarf no longer hiding her breasts. She stood before him in a
shiny silver shelf bra that left nothing to the imagination of these men
sitting around him.
Hell, no, his mate wasn’t
going to parade around like that for all these men to see. His muscles shifted,
his adrenaline surged as he determined the best course of action. He knew he
shouldn’t cause a disruption. He needed to approach this as he would a mission.
Yet every nerve in his body screamed at him to get up, grab his mate, throw her
over his shoulder, and get the hell out of there.
A growl escaped his throat
as he watched Sadie, his eyes never leaving her. Then despite the fact he was
hidden away in a corner booth, her rich ocean blue eyes landed on him. They
grew wide and he saw her breath catch. Oh yes, she recognized him as her mate
too. That’s right, beautiful, you are all mine, Grander thought as he adjusted
himself again. Damn jeans weren’t giving him any room for comfort now.
Sadie spun in rhythm with
the other dancers, her tiny hips gyrating to the music just as she’d be doing
to him as soon as he could get them the fuck out of here. She drifted across
the room in erotically choreographed movements that would’ve been fantastic if
it wasn’t that his mate was dancing in nearly nothing in a room full of men.
When the waitress came over
with his drink, Granger asked how long the performance lasted and was relieved
to hear there would be an intermission after only a half hour. He could wait
that long. Then he’d take her and split. They had something to take care of
before he brought her back to the compound. He took sips of his bourbon and
then more deep breaths to calm his nerves. His hands itched to touch her, to
feel those springy curls in his fingers as he kissed her lush pink lips. Well
shit, this line of thinking wasn’t doing him any good. Maybe he should shoot
TEU a text to check in and let them know he’d located her.
Found her. In my sights. Everything good. Complication
though.
He’d no sooner sent the
message than the response came.
She’s your mate.
Fuck, how did they know? He
shook his head, feeling like he’d just been set up.
You knew?
The text took longer this
time.
Suspected. Stay in reserved suite until ready for return. No
hurry.
Granger was closing his
phone, shaking his head, when he looked up again to see Sadie standing right in
front of his table, her hips swaying side to side with her torso bent back. She
wasn’t watching him, but she most certainly had to know what she was doing to
him. The damn woman before him now was nothing like the woman he’d rescued, nor
did she look like the simple beauty he’d seen through his scope on a few
occasions. Didn’t her file say her soul sin was sloth?
This Sadie, the dancer, was
stunning.

Excerpt
Sadie rubbed the full
length of her body against him even as he felt the unmistakable link solidify
between them. His cock lengthened and tightened the pants he desperately needed
to get out of. Enough was enough. Why was he holding back? This was fate. What
would happen next was inevitable.
“Bed. Now. Before I take
you standing up.” Granger’s husky words pushed abruptly through his gritted
teeth.
Sadie paused a moment too
long before moving so Granger swung her into his arms and stomped to the
bedroom at the other end of the suite. Dropping her on the bed, he removed his
clothes with a single thought.
“I need to be naked. I need
my flesh to touch your flesh, with no barriers,” he explained. The blush on her
cheeks was absolutely delightful.
Granger leaned over and
took one of her legs into his hand and kissed each tiny, delicate painted toe.
She gasped when he sucked on her big toe, pulling into his mouth just as he
planned to do to her nipples. Releasing it, he gave the same treatment to her
other foot, her other toes. By the time he worked his way up her thighs, Sadie
was flushed and heavy-lidded with desire. She was putty in his hands.
With his mate lying naked
below him, Granger drank in the sight. He leaned down, kneeling over the edge
of the bed, and breathed in her scent. It was musky, but held the subtle
undertone of something sweet. Clean-shaven and with just a mere scrap along her
center, he could see the pink, swollen folds as they grew wet. He blew out a
breath and watched her muscles tense and relax. Then when he’d had enough, or
when he needed more, he bit down into the fabric of her panties and pulled
until he heard the threads snap.
With a clear view, Granger
separated Sadie’s legs further and ran his nose along her core. He inhaled her
scent and knew it would forever be his undoing. Then he tasted. With a single
lick from back to front, he scooped up the moisture and drank it in. It was a
feast for his soul as he felt something inside him shift. What the fuck?
Shaking off the
distraction, he drew himself deeper into her, curling his tongue and using it
to feel along her opening and inside the channel he’d soon fill. He lapped over
and over until her folds were puffy and dark pink. Then he honed in on her
clit, the tiny bundle of nerves protruding from the small hood at the top of
her core.
Sucking the bundle into his
mouth, Granger heard Sadie grow louder, heard her praying to the Goddess, but
he wouldn’t let anything distract him. He was a man on a mission and he planned
to have blast off any second now. Suck. Pull. Nibble. Moving his tongue and
lips until he felt the tightening of her thighs and heard the scream she could
no longer hold back.
Then, satisfied that he’d
pleased her, Granger moved above Sadie to kiss her. They shared the flavor of
her satisfaction on his tongue and lips. She eagerly lapped up the juices
remaining on his face and despite believing his cock couldn’t get harder, it
did.
“Porca
l'oca! I am crazy for this. Ho un
debole per te.” Granger panted out the words as he flipped Sadie onto her
stomach, lifted her ass in the air, and pressed his swollen cockhead against
her moist folds.
She was ready, prepared,
and there was no hope of delaying any further. Once he felt her relax into the
feel of him so close to her, her back bow under his touch, Granger pushed
forward. Slowly, ever-so-damn-slowly, he entered his mate. Each and every
ripple, soft tissue, hard muscle, heated cream—Granger felt everything. It
burned him, not just his dick, but something inside of him warmed. He felt
tight, as if his skin was suddenly shrunk and too small to fit his body. He strained
against the sensation and felt as if he’d burst. Holding still, fully seated
inside Sadie, Granger’s arms held him completely above her so he could feel his
chest on her back.
“Granger, don’t go slow,
please.” Sadie’s plea snapped every synapse in Granger’s body to attention.
Shifting his weight, he
pivoted his hips. Fast and furious, Granger took his mate. The heat and slide,
the sounds of their cores connecting with each thrust, propelled him. He wasn’t
being gentle. And while he hoped he was giving, right now his only thoughts
were on taking. Taking his mate. Making his claim.
