Excerpt
Everything is
bitter, the cold outside, the taste of blood in my mouth, and the sting of his
belt. My foster father screams at me as he chases me out the door and through
the blinding snow. The dark night doesn’t hide my tears for my ex-boyfriend
Ashe lying cold and stiff on the concrete of an abandoned building where I left
him alone.
I still can’t believe I just left him, but what was I supposed to do? The police would somehow blame me for Ashe’s death. I’ve already had a few scrapes with the law stealing food for me and my half-starved foster sister Mia. She’s only six, but so far, Schafe hasn’t laid a hand on her or the others, just me. The other foster kids fend for themselves and stay out of his way. I'm the only dumb one who provokes him. I can’t help it. He’s an asshole, and I’ll be damned if I’ll continuously allow him to treat me like shit.
She licks those luscious lips, slightly parting them. I want to taste them. I want to dive right in, even when I know it’s quicksand.
That same look of loneliness and pain open up to me. She blinks a few times and lures me into her with her expectant gaze. Her pull on me is strong. I close my eyes to resist, but her feminine scent overpowers me.
When I open my eyes, she chews on her lower lip, waiting on me to do something. I’ve been attracted to angels before but not like this. Ever since I first laid eyes on her, I haven’t really stopped thinking about River. My mind has worked over every word, every breath, and every curve of her body, committing them to memory. Last night, I used my hands to feel and carve her depth and shape her tragic beauty into stone.
I use my knee to spread her legs, cloaked in black stockings, and slip between them. Her skirt hitches up, and I know she’s receptive to me, even though she wore the skirt for Noah. I don’t like that she did that for him. I cannot lose her, and I can’t even explain why.
I tilt her chin back to expose the soft, creamy flesh of her neck. Her breathing increases, and I descend to those succulent lips. My tongue dives into her mouth, and she flicks hers against mine.

She moans and
returns my kiss, deep and filled with longing. God, I want her. No angel has
ever come onto me this strong, and I’ve never been with any woman who is younger
than me. I normally take my time, not only for me but mostly for them.
Diana loves
steamy sex that sizzles off the page but also well-developed characters and a
solid plot that keeps the readers guessing. Strong, masculine men with
endearing qualities and motivated, determined women always get to her. Diana's
work has earned several awards including first place Paul Gillette, Colorado
Gold finalist, and two semi-finalists in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award.
Diana loves to
travel and meet interesting people whose character traits often provide
important fodder to her stories. She loves reading and the outdoors, either
hiking among the aspens or relaxing on a remote beach with a good book.
