Lovesick Gods
by Amanda
Meuwissen
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Gay Paranormal Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
The
elements touch everyone on Earth—Fire, Water, even Light—but every so often
someone becomes more attuned to their elemental leaning and develops true
power. When an evil Elemental known as Thanatos arrived in Olympus City, it saw
the rise of its first hero—Zeus. But the death toll caused by defeating
Thanatos changed Zeus, who by day is young detective Danny Grant.
It’s
been six months since Thanatos terrorized the city at the start of Lovesick
Gods. Danny should be used to his duty behind the mask, but the recent past
haunts him. His girlfriend left him, he snaps at the barest provocation, his
life feels empty—he needs an outlet, any outlet to pull him out of his
depression.
Enter
notorious thief Malcolm Cho, the Ice Elemental Prometheus. There was a time
when Danny welcomed a fight with Cho, filled with colorful banter and casual
flirtations that were a relief compared to Thanatos. Even as a criminal, Cho
had recognized the threat Thanatos posed and promised to help Danny stop him,
but the day Danny needed Cho, he never showed. Cho was the reason so many
people died that day—including Danny’s mother.
Danny
decides to teach the man a lesson and fan the fire of their attraction into
something more. At worst, he’ll get some no-strings-attached sex out of the
deal and finally blow off steam; at best, he’ll get Cho to fall in love with
him and then break his heart to spite him. Danny doesn’t expect to fall for Cho
in the process, and he certainly can’t predict the much darker threat on the horizon.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:
Mal
and Dom would do this same surveillance next week, then the day right before
the heist. It was a peaceful sort of monotony Mal shared with her only, never
Lucy. Lucy would have gotten bored. Talked too much. Distracted him. With Dom,
they might make a change of plans after watching for a while, especially if
they saw anything out of the ordinary, but small talk was rare. They'd known
each other too long to ever ask how the other was ‘doing’, at least not in
blatant terms. That only came up if something seemed off.
Today,
the tell came from Mal. He really should have noticed it himself before it
became obvious—the tap of his finger on the side of his coffee cup, his other
hand drawing patterns on the vent beneath him. He had the view so committed to
memory he might have been able to walk right in through the front door of the
museum from his current location blindfolded. So he let his mind wander. To
Danny. To last night. To tomorrow night and what wonders it might bring…
“What’s
got yer panties twisted?”
Mal
pulled his stray hand up to join the other around his coffee cup. “Don’t know
what you mean.”
Dom
huffed. “That’s not yer nerves before a heist kinda twitchin’, Frosty. That’s
yer sorry case ‘a blue balls face, up in yer head thinkin’ about some hot piece
‘a ass that got away.”
Damn
Dom for knowing Mal so well. He could deny it, and they’d volley back and forth
a while longer, but that would only aggravate them both and accomplish nothing;
once Dom had her mind set on something, she wouldn’t let it drop. “Fine, you
got me. Think I feel like doing kiss and tell about an almost, Dom? Had the
start of a good time last night, got interrupted, and likely won’t see him 'til
tomorrow.”
“So
there’s a next time planned, huh? That’s new. Who with?”
It
never failed to amaze Mal how much Dom and Lucy could have in common despite
their varied personalities—like nosing into his love life. He weighed his
options, but he didn’t see a point in hiding this development from his friend
like he planned to avoid it with his sister.
“Zeus,”
he said and took another sip from his coffee, wishing it was the same drink
Danny had ordered him yesterday, which had tasted almost as delicious as the
man himself.
“Bullshit,”
Dom said, causing Mal to tilt his head at her.
“His
idea.”
“Damn.
You don’t think that’s gonna bite you in the ass?”
“If
I’m lucky.”
Dom
snorted. She sipped her own coffee as she turned back to the museum. “You have
yer fun, pal, but once we pull this heist, he’s gonna be pissed.”
“More
than likely. But it’ll be a fun ride along the way.”

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the stop! It's been a great experience for a book I'm really excited to share. Today's excerpt gets at more of the behind the scenes of planning a heist for the 'nemesis' character in this hero and villain romance, and one of the many friendships that stand out as well. I hope everyone enjoys and continues to follow the tour. Thanks again!
