Description:
Julie Hendricks is a thirty-year-old
workaholic who goes to her friend’s bar to meet him for a drink. It’s her first
night out in years, and she envisions a normal evening. Instead, she meets Sin,
a sexy karaoke DJ who’s not what he seems, and her idea of normal goes
completely out the window.
Sin is actually Taliesin, the Welsh god
of music and wisdom. For fun, he helps his old college football buddy at the
local bar, Out of Bounds. His buddy’s prim friend captures his attention, and
he soon reveals more of himself than he usually does.
Julie's attraction to Sin is immediate,
even though she doubts she could ever please a god. When her friend’s business
is threatened, Julie must help hunt down the enemy while resisting falling in
love with the dangerously intriguing Sin.

Short Excerpt
This was going to be fun.
The crowd must’ve realized what he was about to do because
it suddenly grew quiet, and all eyes turned toward him. Sin removed his earphones
and reached for the microphones. “I’ve had a request.”
A cacophony of whistles and shouts filled the air.
“About time!” one of the sorority girls shouted and was
echoed by the giggles of her friends.
Sin held up his hand for silence. “I’m going to need a
volunteer.”
At least fifty female hands shot into the air. Sin ignored
them all for the one hand that didn’t go up. As he had expected, Julie shrank
against the back of the couch when his eyes met hers.
Jumping off the dais, he weaved his way through the crowd
toward the back of the room. “Come here, Julie.”
Julie’s eyes widened, and she frantically shook her head.
Sin laughed into the microphone. “Don’t panic, Jules. I’m
not going to make you sing. Now get on up here.”
She continued to shake her head. “No, Sin.”
Sin decided the audience was going to have to help him. He
swept his arm out to gesture toward Julie and spoke into the microphone.
“Everyone welcome Jules. She’s a good friend of Hal’s, and this is her first
visit.”
If looks could kill and he was mortal, Sin would be a goner
from the look Julie gave him. He reached out and plucked her from her seat
before she could stop him. He wrapped an arm around her waist and propelled her
forward. “Don’t worry. All you have to do is stand there.”
Julie elbowed him in the ribs and spoke through clenched
teeth. “I don’t like being the center of attention, Sin.”
He twirled her in a small circle so that she faced the
crowd. “Lucky for you,” he paused to throw his arm out in a dramatic fashion to
gesture toward Hal. “I do.”
The music started, and he could tell the moment Julie
recognized the song. Her eyes grew wide with disbelief, and her face paled.
“You are going to pay for this,” she hissed in warning.
“Relax, Jules. It’ll be fun.”
Sin plopped the top hat Hal handed him on Julie’s head, and
the crowd went wild. The noise was deafening. For a moment, he thought she was
going to bolt. Instead Julie crossed her arms over her chest and glared at him.
“No funny business.”
Sin winked at her and turned back toward the audience as he
sang “You Can Leave Your Hat On.” For each item of clothing he mentioned, he
teasingly acted as if he was removing it from Jules.
In previous acts, his helper would sometimes become
overzealous and actually strip. Thankfully Jules didn’t show a similar
inclination. She merely alternated between glaring at the ceiling and at him.
Sin circled her and reached for the buttons of her jacket.
Julie tensed as he undid the top two buttons. His fingers brushed the lacy edge
of her camisole and desire shot through him. He wanted to have her.
But first he had to get through the next couple of hours.
“Don’t look so frightened, Jules. I’m not going any farther.”
“You’d better not unless you want two black eyes,” she
warned out of the side of her mouth.
The crowd hooted and yelled for more. Sin nuzzled the side
of her neck, enjoying the feel of her skin against his lips. “The crowd is wild
for you, Jules.”
“It is not me they want to see, Sin.”
“Maybe not the female half, but the men in the room can’t
take their eyes off of you.”
It was true. Sin sensed the envious looks he was being
given. He did not feel threatened by their interest. Julie would be his even
though she didn’t know it yet.
Sin undid the third button of her jacket, and then a fourth
when she didn’t argue. The lapels of her jacket parted and exposed her thin
camisole. Even the women hooted with delight as he ran his hands down the sides
of her waist.
No one was more surprised than he was when Jules turned and
yanked the mic from his hands.
She turned toward the crowd and lifted the microphone to her
mouth. “Ya’ll want to see more?”
The crowd went crazy. She turned back to him with a wicked
smile. Reaching up with one hand, she removed the hat.
She plopped the hat on his head at a crooked angle and
lifted an eyebrow in challenge. “Turnabout is fair play.”
