Book Description:
Raina loved performing upon the London stage, but one night she found herself dancing for only HIM. She froze, and looked to the balcony where the gaslights flickered dimly over his shadowy form. If only she had known that this beautiful monster would soon rip her away from everything in the world SHE EVER LOVED, perhaps she wouldn’t have lingered so long.
Marcus loved being a blood thirsty predator, but one night his gallivanting brought him to his knees in front of HER. If only he’d known what would happen when she danced, that she would remind him of someone who was everything in the world HE EVER LOVED, Perhaps he would’ve turned away.
As he drags her deeper and deeper into his depraved world of torture and violence, she begins fighting with her own darkness that threatens to consume her everyday. And oh, how it begs to be released. And though she knows it’s wrong, she desires her captor anyway.
Until she begins falling for someone else…
Meanwhile, prostitutes are being butchered in the streets and she begins to wonder: Is her dark lover, the one she is bound to, The Ripper?
With an accurate account of the creepy gaslit times of London and real Jack the Ripper crime scenes, Loved By A Killer is an exciting read from start to finish.
RACE UPSTAIRS
AND TURN THE GASLIGHT ON to its brightest setting and listen to every sound in
the house, for anything unusual and for Marcus’ return. My mind spins over this
turn of events. The mutilated girl in the picture. The monster that takes pleasure in her horrific murder. The kind of
monster that stole my mother away in the darkness leaving our lives wrecked.
But now I have power: speed, strength, senses that are out of this world, and
an affinity for the night. And somewhere, this monster lurks in the night- that
I
NOW OWN.
I’m going to destroy him. Jack
the Ripper, Marcus, whoever he is-
he’s dead. I don’t believe it will cost me what’s left of my humanity, but even
if my soul disintegrates to pieces, he must be stopped.
“Fascinated…captivated… Throw me
to the devil for I am painfully in love with you.” Marcus appears in the
doorway. His face gleams happily and he throws his hat onto the dresser.
I force a smile. “What have you
been up to?”
“Oh, baby, I have my own vampire things to tend to.” He extends his hand
toward my face and I flinch. “Have you eaten?” My muscles feel weak and my
chest burns a little. “No? Let me fix that. Tom!”
“Please don’t let me hurt him,” I say.
He nods. I drink from the young servant’s wrist as my mind swims with horrid
thoughts. After ten gulps, I force my mouth away and it doesn’t hurt as much,
being far more interested in Marcus’ bloody affairs. I pull up a sleeve to wipe
the blood away and Tom lies back on the bed.
“Guess what happened tonight?”
Marcus flings messy hair out of his face and plops down on the bed beside me.
“What happened?”
“There was another murder on the
East side.”
My breath catches. “And?” I
flutter my eyelids up at my beaming vampire. “How do you know that?”
“While I was… out, the town was
a-buzz with the sad murmurings of a new victim.”
“You seem so torn up.”
“Of course not. But she was.”
Tom’s hand lands on my leg. “Can
I be yours? Like, your personal blood boy?”
Marcus scoffs. “She’s likely to
kill you, chap.”
“Go ahead Marcus, tell me what
happened,” I say, unable to keep my voice steady.
“They say it was a bangtail
called Dark Annie. The doctor had to scoop her intestines and organs out of the
dirt and put them back into her stomach.”
“I see.” My mind unveils all the
mutilated women in the artwork I just discovered in Marcus’ study. What a
painting this new murder would make. “He’s not going to stop, is he?” I stare
pointedly into those dark pools of hypnotizing evil.
“Doubtful.” He cocks his head to
the side and grins.
Well, hell.
Intrigued? Well, hell yeah. We had a chance to have a chat with Charity and here's what we discovered:
SC: Tell us a little bit about the main character in your book.
SC: Tell us a little bit about the main character in your book.
CFR: .Raina Corliss
dances upon the London stage in a time when performing was frowned upon for
women. She becomes the fascination of an old and dangerous Vampire because
somehow, she looks exactly like his human love from so many years ago. He takes
her against her will and transforms her, because he wants so badly to have his
wife back again, and this time, protect her from a horrible death. But Raina
doesn’t want this, she doesn’t believe she is this other woman, and fears that
something else, something otherworldly is going on. Soon, she realizes her very
soul is in danger, and every day becomes pain as she fights to keep it.
SC:
She sounds like a very strong woman. Here at Supernatural Central, we're all
about the strange and wonderous. We're wondering if you've ever had any
supernatural experiences yourself?
CFR: My character,
Breanne, is a vengeful spirit who was killed horribly, and she finds her way
back to her dead body, possesses it, and digs her way out of the grave to get
revenge. Effectively a zombie. I love using ghosts in my work, and the second
of the series has tons of them. I myself have had some experience with the
supernatural. I lived in a hundred year old Victorian house in the Midwest and
it seemed like something else lived there with me. Footsteps through my room in
the dead silence of night, drawers pulled out in the bathroom, stuff like that.
SC:
Well then, you'll fit right in around here. What's up next for you?
CFR: Right now, even
though for months it made my stomach turn to even think about it, I’m working
on the second draft of “Loved by the First,” the second in the series. It feels
really good to be getting it done, and I’m so pleased with it! This time, Raina
has to leave the love she’s fought so hard for, because her Sire, the gorgeous
and wicked Marcus threatens him, as does her own very dark and dangerous
nature. She finds herself in a new world hunting another prolific killer, but
she can’t get away from Varo, the first and most formidable of all vampires. He
is terrifying and cold, and wants to punish Marcus through her, but somehow,
she manages to warm his hardened heart.
Thank you so much for
allowing me to share with you today!
Love,
Charity.
SC:
Feel free to drop by any time.
