"You'll never be alone. I will love you forever."

Sunrise filtered in through the mosquito netting, crept across the bed, and onto Rhea's pillow. With a reluctant groan she slowly opened her eyes, blinking several times in rebellion as she adjusted to the blinding rays. She let out a long, open-mouthed yawn and reached her arms above her head and her toes toward the footboard in a spine-straightening stretch.
Then she rolled over and started to pull herself up when an arm snaked around her waist from behind and hauled her backward. “Where do you think you're going?"
Rhea giggled, then pressed herself even farther against his warm body. “Apparently, nowhere.” Something hard bumped her bottom. She wiggled against it, nudging it down between her cheeks.
"Shall we have breakfast in bed?” he asked with a suggestive purr.
"Hmm ... let's do,” she agreed. “Maybe lunch and dinner as well."
Valos kissed the sensitive skin at the nape of her neck. “As you wish, my love. As you wish."
Shannon Leigh
Shannon Leigh is a practicing registered nurse who graduated with a BSN, RN from the Indiana University School of nursing in May of 1996. She is happily married and lives in Indiana with her husband, four sons, two cats, and a spoiled chow chow named Aysia. When she's not chasing after her four rambunctious boys, Shannon enjoys tole painting, drawing, reading, writing, and watching vampire flicks. Coincidentally, one of her favorite movies, Dracula 2000, which stars Gerard Butler, was released on her birthday, December 22.
Shannon tries to dedicate a couple of hours every day to writing and finds that the best time for her is usually sometime between the hours of 9 p.m. and 3 a.m., after everyone else is in bed. Her favorite time to write is when the house is pitch black, lighted only by her laptop screen, and she can curl up on the couch with a cup of tea and become engrossed in her characters.
Along with other romance genres, Shannon enjoys reading suspense, fantasy and horror, but paranormal fiction remains her favorite. Her second novel, More Than Prophecy, is a paranormal romance involving interplanetary travel to a world known as Zandar, and was released from Amber Quill Press in January 2005. She's currently working on the sequel, When Destiny Summons, and hopes to have it ready for editing soon.
