Love’s Deception by DC Renee Genre: Contemporary Romance

For someone who wasn’t the “dating kind,” he had certainly done a bang-up job of wooing me. Dating, marriage … the whole nine yards. I’d fallen hard. I couldn’t help it. Nolan Corrington was gorgeous, charming, sweet, and he loved me with a passion I’d never felt before. It was inevitable on my end. He tried to fight his love for me. I was the first girl he ever let in because he’d vowed never to love. He didn’t want the fallout a heartbreak would create. But he said dating me, marrying me, loving me … the whole nine yards was inevitable for him too. With a love like that, there could be no room for heartbreak, right? Well, see … that’s the thing about loving someone so hard. You don’t always share everything about yourself, at least not until it’s too late … until the person is so deep inside you that you hope they won’t want to leave. That’s what I like to call love’s deception. And that’s what Nolan counted on. What could go wrong? Oh, only everything … only the one thing he feared in the first place … heartbreak. Too bad it wasn’t just a matter of walking away … it was more, a lot more. It was life, death, and everything in between. It was love, and it was deception. Goodreads * Buy Link

Curiosity won. “What were you denying?”
“That I love you,” he said point-blank, his heart on his sleeve, his
words sincere, his eyes penetrating. “I love you,” he repeated, a little
louder and a little clearer.
“I-I …” I stuttered, caught completely off guard.
“I’m not telling you because I expect you to love me in return. I
just … all my life, I knew I’d never love anyone. Not because I wasn’t
capable, but because I saw what the pain of losing my mom did to
my dad. I told you before what he said to me—to never love—and I
took that to heart. I never dated, so I couldn’t get close enough to
anyone to fall in love. But you obliterated all that. You came into my
life, and it was inevitable that I was going to fall for you. I knew it was
a possibility when I pursued you, when we started dating, and I told
myself I was okay with that. But when faced with the actual feelings …
it’s hard to disassociate from a belief you’ve had all your life. I realized
I loved you, and I wasn’t even sure when it happened. But I knew that
if I lost you like my father lost my mom, I’d be shattered. So I tried
to run away while it was still fresh, thinking that it would somehow
lessen the blow. That maybe if I lost you now, it wouldn’t hurt as badly

as losing you later in life. I was wrong. I. Was. Wrong,” he repeated,
telling me without telling me the depth of his love for me.
If his actions were the hammer to my heart, his words were the
glue that could put the jagged pieces back together.

Excerpt 2, Keeping Secrets
Dear God, he wanted to know if she had betrayed him as he feared.
But he did not ask. Instead, he grabbed her neck and yanked her forward. He sank his lips onto hers.
She pushed at him. She tried to twist her head to the side.
He held her tight. He worked his mouth over hers, up and down, back and forth.
And then, she reached around his shoulders. He slid his hands to her waist, wrapped them to her back, and
tightened his hold.
She pressed herself against him.
His lungs collapsed under the strain. He tore his mouth from hers. “For God’s sake, Mary.” His chest heaved for
more air. “Why can you not tell me what happened?”
A bolt of fire shot from her eyes. She loosened her arms from his neck. She tightened her mouth, swung her arm
to the right, and slammed her palm against his face. His head stirred only slightly from the blow, but the sting burned
nonetheless.
She ran from the barn.
Amon picked up the rake and slung it against the far wall. Tines broke and rained downward.
He had never intended to kiss her, but he had wanted to for so long he could hold out no longer. It had taken all
his willpower to pull back, especially since she had relaxed beneath the onslaught.
Why can you not tell me what happened?
The words had rushed past his teeth before he had a chance to stop them. And now, she would assume he had
taken advantage of her when nothing was further from the truth.
He had thought he was playing with fire when he left, but this was far worse.
This was a conflagration.

He regarded her with a curious expression, and suddenly she realized he’d
dropped his guard. If she lunged for his sword and used it on him before he had a chance
to react…
But that wouldn’t work. If she managed to defeat him, she would still be trapped
in these chains… Or would she?
The chance to attack came and went as he took a step away from her, resting his
palm defensively on the pommel of his sword, more for the werewolf than for her, she
Assumed.
“How does a vampire turn someone?” he asked.
She recognized the question from his field journal, which made much more sense
now that she understood the context spurring his curiosity regarding vampires. “Why do
you want to know?”
“Because…I have been both bitten and scratched, yet nothing has happened to
me. I don’t…understand.”

“You assume I’m more loyal to you than to my kind?” she asked, drumming her
fingers against her folded arms, regarding the blood hunter coolly. “Some might call
giving such information an act of betrayal. I would rather see your eyes turn red because
of the mess you found yourself in by capturing me. Now that would be an interesting turn
of events.”
He sighed, weariness showing in his eyes she hadn’t seen there before. “Just tell
Me.”
“How about something better? I can show you,” she said, smiling evilly as she
sprouted her fangs from where they hid in her gums. She approached him slowly until she
backed him against the wall of the cave. Delicious fear lived in his eyes despite his brave
front. However, before she could get any closer, he lifted his sword between them, the
point an inch away from cutting into her dress.

“Oi! The Watch, run!”
Kaidyn’s ears had caught it, too—the clinking of steel as a patrol wandered nearby, perhaps attracted
by the sounds of their struggle. No others could walk the city streets openly armed, even by day. Not that
Kaidyn wanted to stick around any longer than his attackers. He had no wish to be locked up for the
night either.
The man directly in front of him seized him by the collar of his shirt. “Something to remember me by,”
he muttered, and Kaidyn knew his mouth was open but couldn’t hear his own gasp as he was dealt a
final blow. The hit wasn’t in his stomach again, as he’d been expecting, but at the side of his head. It felt
like an object struck him, not merely a fist, but something blunt and hard. He felt the blood begin to drip
from the base of his skull and trickle down his neck. The world wavered around him as the last of the
men ran off. Cowards, all.
Kaidyn took an uneven step, then several more. He tilted toward the ground but did not fall. Luck.
Where is Luck? I have to find him, before…
He was still so angry, but his thoughts were leaking out of him along with the blood, the dizziness
beginning to con-sume them. If I don’t hurry…
The stars were wheeling somewhere above him. When did I fall to the ground? He tried to search for
a familiar landmark, but his sight was failing him. Kaidyn had either drank too much or been hit too hard.
“Oh!” Kaidyn heard a gasp, but it had not come from him. It wasn’t Luck, either. He tried to get up, to
defend himself once more, but his hands met only empty air.
“I’m not going to hurt you, I promise—”
Kaidyn growled, his tone low and furious.
“All right, all right,” the voice soothed him. “I’ll just wait until you’re ready to walk again, shall I?” The
unknown per-son sounded sympathetic. Gentle, even, and impossibly, unbearably kind. But that must
have been in his head, because surely nobody who saw Kaidyn in his current state could be anything but
disappointed, disgusted, or a combination of the two.
“It’s going to be all right,” the voice continued, and to Kaidyn’s astonishment he felt a cool hand
touching his brow, brushing wisps of hair from his forehead. He could not remember the last time he had
been touched with such tenderness. “I have you. You’re safe now. I won’t leave you alone here.”
Kaidyn shook his head, forcing his sight to clear. A pair of eyes stared anxiously back down at him
and drew him in, as though calling him on from somewhere. But from where? Where…
Kai!
He had definitely imagined that part, because this stranger, whoever he was, could not have known
his name, much less the one reserved for his closest friends.
Kai!
But he could not think any longer, he was falling, falling… and running again, running away from the
pain and the bile rising in his throat, escaping everything but the darkness that finally overtook him to
swallow him whole.
