Reluctant Revenge Excerpt
"I don't believe you."
"You don't believe what?" He made himself comfortable in the ratty looking seat and turned to her, his eyes already dismissive of anything she had to say.
"About the hunter thing. Why would you tell me that?"
"I don't lie, Sienna. Your family has been doing this for many years." He turned to look out of the windscreen. "Too many years. And they've hunted a lot of creatures." Nash turned to face her once more. "And even a human or two. Not that your family seems to have many qualms about that." His face had hardened, she noticed, lines appearing around his eyes as he glared at her.
Sienna looked at him hard before actually making herself jump when a gurgle of laughter erupted from her mouth. He frowned at her which made her laugh harder.
"I'm sorry, I really am. But I think you might have inhaled too much gun smoke." She wiped her right eye where a tear had started to form. "I appreciate the save earlier on and obviously we need to get to the bottom of why I was chased, but I really don't think it was ghosts that were behind it all."
Nash looked like he wanted to throttle her. It sobered her slightly but the mirth still hovered. This sexy man was seriously cuckoo. Why were all the pretty ones gay or nuts?
"Ghosts weren't behind it. I believe Strix were."
"And what are Strix, may I ask?"
He hesitated for only a moment before speaking again.
"Vampires who eat flesh with animal ferocity."
Now, that was what she needed to snap her out of her sense of humour. He was talking blood suckers now. Did the police force know he should be suspended on medical grounds? She thought about her dilemma. Here she was, stuck in the middle of nowhere with a cop who thought vampires were real. Although she was pretty sure he wouldn't hurt her – hell, he'd saved her from certain death earlier on – he was still a tad unpredictable. Maybe she could talk to him about it all? Make him think she believed him until he dropped her off at the nearest police station? Mind made up, Sienna smiled sweetly.
"Tell me about these vampires then. Are they like the ones in the movies?"
"They are much, much worse. Believe me." He smiled at her and if she didn't know better, he had figured out she was just humouring him.
"So... can I see one?"

Xandra James has always wanted to write
romance books. Even when she was sneaking peaks at the hot bits, too young to
fully appreciate them, she dreamt of writing her own.
Now, older and wiser, she's got the
opportunity to project her slightly dark and wacky, British sense of humor onto
others, whilst still writing the hot bits - bonus!
When not writing, Xandra is thinking
of excuses as to why she shouldn't be doing the housework, looking after a
husband and cats that refuse to pick up after themselves and climbing the
mountain in her house that's affectionately called her tbr pile.
She currently holds the crown for
Queen Procrastinator – something she's very proud of – so you can usually find
her online, somewhere, when she really should be writing.
