Excerpt TWISTED EMOTIONS!

1 Day!
Only one day until TWISTED EMOTIONS!!! I'm so excited!


I have another snippet for you:

Dilated pupils, accelerated breathing, racing pulse, trembling, Kiara had the telltale signs of terror. I kept my thumb on her pulse point as I regarded her. She finally raised her gaze to mine, and her pulse sped up further. Her body’s reactions could have been a sign for arousal as well, but I knew they weren’t. 
“So you didn’t agree to marry me,” I pointed out.
Her cheeks flushed, and her gaze returned to my chin. “I did agree when Luca asked me, but my uncle never asked when he made the offer.”
“Why did you agree when Luca asked, then?”
Her brows drew together. “Because it wasn’t really a choice; it was disguised as one. In this life women aren’t given choices.”
I regarded her for a few moments. She seemed angry. Her anger suited me better than the submissive terror she’d displayed before. I lifted her hand, and she tensed again as if she’d forgotten about my touch. Her pulse raced against my fingertips. I showed her the ring. “I won’t tell you that you have a choice to accept this or not. We both know you will accept it like you will say yes in two days.”
She blanched and gave a small nod. “Otherwise there won’t be peace.”
“Indeed.” 
Her fingers shook as I put the engagement ring on. The jeweler had recommended it after I told her money wasn’t an issue. A simple gold band with a big diamond in the middle. I never understood the reason for engagement rings. She swallowed again, and I realized it was to contain some of her terror. “You realize this isn’t a death sentence.”
Dark brown eyes rose to meet mine. “Death isn’t the worst that can happen.”
“You will be my wife,” I told her. Whatever she’d heard about my brothers and me, and what was going on in Vegas, she didn’t have to fear that kind of thing.

Luca's POV!

A while back I had a contest where you could "win" a few scenes from Bound By Honor in Luca's POV. Since I get many messages asking for it, I've decided to extend this offer.

Review Appreciation Contest: Get Luca's POV!

As you probably all know, reviews are very important for an author. That's why I thought it was time to show my appreciation for those who have already left a review for Bound By Honor, and entice the rest of you to follow suit! :) I know many of you have been asking for Luca's point of view, so I thought why not write a couple of chapters from his perspective (I don't have time to write more right now) and send it to reviewers as a thank-you gift. You probably want to know what to do. Here's the deal: Write a review for Bound By Honor (at least three sentences, pretty please.) and post it on Amazon, or Barnes&Noble, or Kobo. Of course I'll love you eternally if you post on all three sites, but for the purpose of this "contest" it's enough if you leave a review on one of them. After you've done that, send me a link of your review to this email: reilly.cora@rocketmail.com If you have already posted a review, of course that counts as well. Ju...
