Of course, the client didn’t know about his special djinn abilities. He didn’t like working blind and he always stalked his prey. The kill, if needed, would take place in two days.
Yet, he’d been paid half the money up front, and asked to be in place and ready. No other details, except to say Rukh’s services would be used as a last resort. He’d sent the target’s name and a vague location: downtown Austin.
Being a half-breed djinn had some advantages, especially to one in the business of murder. He breathed easier now that he was dealing with the familiar, confident in his invisibility. The soft click-clack of fingers dancing on keys poured from them like a techno-lullaby. Most of the overhead fluorescent lights had been turned off, except for those in the corner where a handful of sports reporters and copy editors worked on late stories. Rukh shifted to a more comfortable position, glad for the shadows that hid him in the almost empty newsroom of the Austin American-Herald. What on earth? He wasn’t here for any of that. It’d been long, too long, since he’d savored a woman. What had begun as a spark, flared into a desperate ache. Desire clouded his mind obliterating all thought, save one. Warmth and need stirred inside him, started at his groin and spread. Woman, thy name should have been Temptation. Full, pouty lips, the deep red of a good Bordeaux wine. Sarah White was nothing like Rukh had expected.įor one thing, her name was too plain, too ill-fitting for someone who had corkscrew curls that shone with a copper glow and sinfully rich skin the color of caramel. But Rukh had been hired to kill her-and the only way to save her is to find out who wants her dead before someone else finishes the job… He can turn her on with a glance, and satisfies desires she didn’t even know she had.
Sarah shares the feeling of raw desire at Rukh’s touch. A glimpse of her bright aura reveals her gentle spirit, while her luscious beauty clouds his mind and makes him long for only one thing-to taste her. But his latest assignment, Sarah White, is nothing like he expected. Rukh O’Shay, half-djinn and assassin, is used to taking out the bad guys.
