From the Rooftops of New Orleans – Town of Psychics, Voodoo and Bloodlust...
SECRET LAVALLE SENSES A PARANORMAL PRESENCE

From the rooftops of New Orleans – town of psychics, voodoo and bloodlust – Kane Broussard descends to confront the Blood Drinker. Near the city, in the quiet Louisiana countryside, Secret Lavalle senses his presence. Will he be her protector? Or, is he after something more in the blood?

One night, as Kane traverses the inner city by rooftop, he encounters the Blood Drinker. A young boy, the serial killer has an unknowing thirst. Kane offers the youth guidance, initiating him into his true identity.

For Secret Lavalle, the travails of romance and crime are read daily in the palms of the unwitting who walk through the doors of her home. But these days, her mind is proving more mystifying than any other. She senses someone. Who is he, and why is he following her?

In New Orleans, life is simple, and Secret is a young woman who enjoys her bath, a cup of tea, and the solace of nature. But one night, a few blocks from Bourbon Street, she senses the presence of one Kane Broussard under the roof of the Le Peniche restaurant in the Marigny neighborhood. She hasn’t been with a man in ages and Kane, a seeming colleague in the paranormal, incites intrigue, fear, and a touch of excitement in Secret.

EXCERPT
Since he had already heard the scream, he knew what direction to take. It was, of course, too late to save the woman, but he could still catch the culprit and dispatch him in whatever way seemed appropriate.

Moving with his supernatural speed, he was at the murder site in seconds. As he had known, the victim was long past any help humans or his kind could offer to her. Sniffing the air, he caught the scent he needed and followed.

In no time, he spotted his prey. He stared at him in amazement.

No wonder he continues to collect victims so easily, Kane thought. He looks as though he’s no older than fifteen or sixteen years old, and has the face of an angel. Before the boy could move in on his next target, Kane swooped down on him and flushed him into a deserted alleyway.

Pushed up against the brick wall, the boy showed no fear until he got a good look at Kane’s face. Recognition, as well as terror, sank in rather quickly then. Even he knew who Kane was.

Sandra Ross

The moment Sandra Ross held her first romance novel when she was ten, she knew she was going to write romance. At thirty now, a prolific reader and a freelance writer, she's since then expanded her preferences from just romance to romance with a dash of now trending sub-genres—paranormal , fantasy, sci-fi even, and erotica. She loves challenging herself and would write on a dare. On a normal day, she would be found in her herb garden collecting spices for her kitchen or ingredients for her potions; in her huge eclectic Provencal kitchen with the big modern oven cooking pots and pans of food for her family of one husband and three kids (an ardent daughter and two boisterous sons) that'll probably last for weeks; in her library with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and an e-reader in her hands as she reads the latest erotic hit; or scribbling pages upon pages of different erotic lifestyles, searching for the one that feels like it was inspired by just the right mix of passion, story line, and sex. Aside from these activities, the rest of the time she'd be found in front of her laptop typing the latest Sandra Ross concoction for her readers.

CHAPTER ONE

LOOKING INTENSELY AT the spread of cards on the table in front of her, Secret Lavalle pondered what to say to her young client. There was no easy way to tell a girl in love that she was being cheated on by the object of her affections. She was stalling for time, but she knew it wouldn't make any difference in the end.

Ok, Sharla. Do you see these two cards right here? This is the Queen of Pentacles and here's the Three of Swords. In between these cards is the King of Wands. Now, remember, we said that the King of Wands represents Dion. The Queen of Pentacles is showing us a new woman that seems to be in Dion's life. The Three of Swords right here shows heartbreak and disappointment.

But what does that mean, Secret?

It means, sweetheart, that Dion is seeing another woman.

I knew it! Sharla yelped as she slammed her hand down on the table. That bastard has been lying to me for months! I could feel it, Secret! It's just that I didn't want to believe it, you know? But he's gonna get what's coming to him now!

I know it's hard when men do these things, Secret said, trying to offer comfort where there wasn't any to actually be had. But let's look at this to see what's ahead for you after you get rid of this worthless piece of waste.

I don't care what's ahead! I don't want any other man ever! This is it for me!

Shaking her head, Secret waited for Sharla to calm down. It was rarely ever the end for a 19-year-old woman. Sure, Sharla was hurt and angry now, but once she was able to get Dion out of her life, there would be another man. Apparently, there would be more than just one other man coming up in Sharla's future.

Oh well, Secret sighed. No matter what I say, these girls never listen.

Sharla, you're going to make it through this. It's pretty clear that you and Dion aren't meant to be together, but there will be someone else for you in the future. However, if you stay stuck in this situation, you'll just delay finding that man.

I don't care about finding any other man! Sharla's big brown eyes got even wider as she shook her head full of long, curly, dark hair in denial. Dion has proved to me that no man's worth it.

Sharla, you're going to be fine, sweetheart, Secret said calmly. There is someone else for you. It doesn't matter if you believe me or not. He's there and he's waiting for you. You're going to deal with this Dion mess, grieve a little because of the time you wasted with him, and then you're going to move on. Your heart will heal. I promise.

Sharla was still glaring at the cards as if she could make them change their meanings if she just got mad enough. Secret hoped that her anger would hold for a little while. It would sustain her and keep her from feeling all of the pain that was also in her very near future.

I should have known,
