Ever Wonder...
Sometimes the weirdest thought pop into my head. Like why when I'm sitting in a room watching a training video do I fall asleep and yet when I'm in my room on my nice comfortable bed I can't tear my eyes away from the television set?
Why is it you can be dragging your ass all day, just ready to fall asleep. Barely managing to keep your eyes open, yet hte moment you walk through your front door you're wide awake?
LOL well I have no idea, but I'm sure it won't be the last time I wonder these things.

Will Mikael be able win over the one person that could help him attain his goals, or ruin the one chance he had at happiness?
Excerpt #2 : Unedited
Mikael’s free hand slid from her shoulder up her neck with a soft loving touch. His knuckles gently caressed her cheek, pulling a soft moan from her lips. “One word, Bella, that’s all it takes.”
If her voice had been working she would have told him yes in an instant. But she couldn’t speak, she could only feel, and she wanted more. She leaned into his touch, rubbing her cheek against his knuckles.
He growled and leaned in close to her ear. His hard muscled chest brushed up against her back. “Say it, Bella, just say the word. Say Yes!” His hot breath warmed her neck; his fangs lightly brushed her skin as he spoke.
“Yes.” She hissed on an exhaled breath, her body burning for more of his touch.
Mikael howled in triumph. The sound brought goose bumps breaking out over her entire body. Heat spread between her legs in anticipation of what he would do to her. Cold air suddenly touched her skin where he had just been. He’d stepped away from her and retreated to the door of the study. Disappointment overcame her as she realized his intentions. “No!”
“The sun rises, mi Bella. We will continue the dance this evening at sunset. Be here in the study when I wake, and I will fulfill all of your fantasies and mine.”
“And if I refuse to be your plaything, Mikael? You’ve been ignoring me for weeks.”
She shivered at the sound of his deep throaty laugh. “Then I will come to you. You’ve given me your assent, Annabella, you cannot rescind the offer now. You are mine forever. ‘Till tonight, beloved.”
Annabella watched transfixed as he left the room, anger welling up inside her. “How dare he play with me! He was aware of dawn approaching, I’m sure of it.” Fury overrode her common sense. “I’ll teach him to treat me like one of his common Caitiffs!”
Stacking her papers in a pile, she shoved them angrily into her briefcase. “I may as well go to the office and get some work done.” She stormed out of the study and headed for the front door.
Warm hands enveloped her from behind. Her hand fell away from the door handle and a sharp cry of fear rose in her throat. “Shhh, mi Bella, I just wished to leave you with a parting gift. Seal our bargain with a kiss, if you will.”
Warm lips traveled along her neck, up behind her ear. She felt his teeth gently nipping her skin, never once drawing blood. The sensations overwhelmed her and her body went limp in his arms. Her anger forgotten for the moment, she reveled in his touch. Annabella cursed in frustration and turned in his arms, her mouth searching for his. The desire to feel his lips against hers coursed through her like lightning. She could feel the moment Mikael gave in to her demanding kiss; his body shook with the effort of keeping his fangs retracted.
She pulled away from the kiss gasping for breath. Victory surged through her: she’d made him lose control. Her father had explained this feeling to her. He’d told her it was a once in a lifetime experience that would make all other triumphs pale in comparison, but would be well worth the victory. She knew what would happen next, or what should happen if Mikael was being truthful about what he wished from her.
His fangs extended, he exposed her neck and leaned in to seal the bargain. Warmth flooded through her as his fangs sank into her flesh. Desire, hot and untamed, raged through her body. He took only a sip and then his tongue gently licked the wounds closed, making her shiver with want for more. She knew in that instant that he had her. She would be waiting for him at sunset as he’d ordered.

Will Mikael be able win over the one person that could help him attain his goals, or ruin the one chance he had at happiness?
Excerpt : Unedited.
Forever was a lot longer than he thought it would be when his Sire had proposed the change. He had made it sound enticing. He’d said the days would be filled with adoration and the nigh with loving. He’d lied!
The first hundred years had been exciting and more enriching than anything he’d ever experienced. Taking beautiful young maidens full of life and ravishing them before feeding off their milky white throats. Always feeding off the Nobility’s daughters, payback for the way they shunned and mocked him when he’d still been alive. Now they came to him willingly, offering him what he could easily take by force. Pitiful creatures. He hated them.
Over the centuries he’d become more feared then Dracula himself, all because he wasn’t afraid to die. Despite everything he now had, the power, the fame and the money, he still lacked one thing. True Love. Five hundred years of searching, traveling the world over and finding nothing had left him jaded, cross and bored. Those emotions made him dangerous and deadly. He hadn’t earned the name Cerberus Gnosis, the knowledgeable dog of Hell by being nice.
Mikael De Wohlf was aware that he scared people. They weren’t sure what to make of him and therefore they were frightened of him. With a Russian father and a Greek mother, his blond haired, and teal colored eyes tended to get him all the female attention he wished. Any woman but her and she was the one he desired. The one he’d searched for all these years!
Annabella Micelli knew who he truly was. She was among the elite of the human race with the knowledge of his kind, the knowledge of the undead. Her acute awareness of his past actions, his reputations as a vile, ruthless demon without a conscience disgusted her. She didn’t approve of his tactics, or the fact that he used his vast knowledge, painfully gained throughout the centuries, to ascertain the downfall of his enemies and their progeny at any cost.
Yet he couldn’t kill her like he had all others who disapproved of him. Like he had his Sire for the lies he’d told him. She had a hold over him, over that thing that was once his heart. Her mere presence soothed him, her aura washed over him like a calming breeze. With her around many escaped his anger and their deaths. For that reason alone she willingly served as his secretary, nay personal assistant.
Mikael smiled, his fangs gleaming as he remembered her defiant stance the day he demanded she leave his office so he could deal with the traitor his own way. Her angry refusal, and narrowed eyes as she stood in his way, blocking the path to his victim. His desire for her body overwhelming his desire for blood was the only reason he agreed to allow the traitor to live in exchange for her services.
Bella glared at him, disgust filing her features at his request. He knew then, that he had her. He could take her body if he asked; she wouldn’t refuse him. It was there in her face, but he wanted more. He wanted her to come to him willingly. He wanted her to desire him as much as he desired her, if not more. He wanted her forever.
With a predatory grin, he let his fangs extend. His personal mark of truth and offered her the position of being his personal assistant. He offered her the responsibilities and authority of managing his companies while he slept. A great honor that until now had never been bestowed upon a female. Her surprised acceptance pleased him more than he was willing to admit. But damn the woman, she still refused his advances. “Soon my Bella, soon you’ll be mine.”

He hadn’t earned the name Cerberus Gnosis, the knowledgeable dog of Hell by being nice.
Mikael De Wohlf was aware that he scared people. They weren’t sure what to make of him and therefore they were frightened of him. With a Russian father and a Greek mother, his blond haired, and teal colored eyes tended to get him all the female attention he wished. Any woman but her and she was the one he desired. The one he’d searched for all these years!
Annabella Micelli knew who he truly was. She was among the elite of the human race with the knowledge of his kind, the knowledge of the undead. Her acute awareness of his past actions, his reputations as a vile, ruthless demon without a conscience disgusted her. She didn’t approve of his tactics, or the fact that he used his vast knowledge, painfully gained throughout the centuries, to ascertain the downfall of his enemies and their progeny at any cost.
Yet he couldn’t kill her like he had all others who disapproved of him. Like he had his Sire for the lies he’d told him. She had a hold over him, over that thing that was once his heart. Her mere presence soothed him, her aura washed over him like a calming breeze. With her around many escaped his anger and their deaths. For that reason alone she willingly served as his secretary, nay personal assistant.
Mikael smiled, his fangs gleaming as he remembered her defiant stance the day he demanded she leave his office so he could deal with the traitor his own way. Her angry refusal, and narrowed eyes as she stood in his way, blocking the path to his victim. His desire for her body overwhelming his desire for blood was the only reason he agreed to allow the traitor to live in exchange for her services.
Bella glared at him, disgust filing her features at his request. He knew then, that he had her. He could take her body if he asked; she wouldn’t refuse him. It was there in her face, but he wanted more. He wanted her to come to him willingly. He wanted her to desire him as much as he desired her, if not more. He wanted her forever.
With a predatory grin, he let his fangs extend. His personal mark of truth and offered her the position of being his personal assistant. He offered her the responsibilities and authority of managing his companies while he slept. A great honor that until now had never been bestowed upon a female. Her surprised acceptance pleased him more than he was willing to admit. But damn the woman, she still refused his advances. “Soon my Bella, soon you’ll be mine.”

Chronicles of the Cursed: Blood Red
By Aline de Chevigny
Coming October 19, 2007 from Aspen Mountain Press
Blurb
Mikael De Wohlf better known to his kind as Cerberus Gnosis, became the head of his clan with the simple act of killing his Sire. That act alone gained him the power and respect he needed to take control of all the ruling houses and reshape the clans to help them survive in this day and age. His reputation painted him as a ruthless killer and terrified everyone who knew him, everyone but her. Everyone but his Bella, his obsession.
Annabella Micelli knew exactly who he was and wasn’t afraid of him one bit. To her dismay she found herself attracted to him and couldn’t get him out of her mind. As keeper for his clan she had insights into the Vampire world that other humans would never have and could never know of.
Will Mikael be able win over the one person that could help him attain his goals, or ruin the one chance he had at happiness?
Excerpt #2 : Unedited
Mikael’s free hand slid from her shoulder up her neck with a soft loving touch. His knuckles gently caressed her cheek, pulling a soft moan from her lips. “One word, Bella, that’s all it takes.”
If her voice had been working she would have told him yes in an instant. But she couldn’t speak, she could only feel, and she wanted more. She leaned into his touch, rubbing her cheek against his knuckles.
He growled and leaned in close to her ear. His hard muscled chest brushed up against her back. “Say it, Bella, just say the word. Say Yes!” His hot breath warmed her neck; his fangs lightly brushed her skin as he spoke.
“Yes.” She hissed on an exhaled breath, her body burning for more of his touch.
Mikael howled in triumph. The sound brought goose bumps breaking out over her entire body. Heat spread between her legs in anticipation of what he would do to her. Cold air suddenly touched her skin where he had just been. He’d stepped away from her and retreated to the door of the study. Disappointment overcame her as she realized his intentions. “No!”
“The sun rises, mi Bella. We will continue the dance this evening at sunset. Be here in the study when I wake, and I will fulfill all of your fantasies and mine.”
“And if I refuse to be your plaything, Mikael? You’ve been ignoring me for weeks.”
She shivered at the sound of his deep throaty laugh. “Then I will come to you. You’ve given me your assent, Annabella, you cannot rescind the offer now. You are mine forever. ‘Till tonight, beloved.”
Annabella watched transfixed as he left the room, anger welling up inside her. “How dare he play with me! He was aware of dawn approaching, I’m sure of it.” Fury overrode her common sense. “I’ll teach him to treat me like one of his common Caitiffs!”
Stacking her papers in a pile, she shoved them angrily into her briefcase. “I may as well go to the office and get some work done.” She stormed out of the study and headed for the front door.
Warm hands enveloped her from behind. Her hand fell away from the door handle and a sharp cry of fear rose in her throat. “Shhh, mi Bella, I just wished to leave you with a parting gift. Seal our bargain with a kiss, if you will.”
Warm lips traveled along her neck, up behind her ear. She felt his teeth gently nipping her skin, never once drawing blood. The sensations overwhelmed her and her body went limp in his arms. Her anger forgotten for the moment, she reveled in his touch. Annabella cursed in frustration and turned in his arms, her mouth searching for his. The desire to feel his lips against hers coursed through her like lightning. She could feel the moment Mikael gave in to her demanding kiss; his body shook with the effort of keeping his fangs retracted.
She pulled away from the kiss gasping for breath. Victory surged through her: she’d made him lose control. Her father had explained this feeling to her. He’d told her it was a once in a lifetime experience that would make all other triumphs pale in comparison, but would be well worth the victory. She knew what would happen next, or what should happen if Mikael was being truthful about what he wished from her.
His fangs extended, he exposed her neck and leaned in to seal the bargain. Warmth flooded through her as his fangs sank into her flesh. Desire, hot and untamed, raged through her body. He took only a sip and then his tongue gently licked the wounds closed, making her shiver with want for more. She knew in that instant that he had her. She would be waiting for him at sunset as he’d ordered.

Merry Christmas to Me!
I wanted to show off my latest sale to Forbidden. Hope you enjoy the excerpt.
Aline
Merry Christmas to Me! by Aline de Chevigny
Blurb:
Jennifer was having the worst Christmas ever. She'd just quit her job, her ex had happily married some blonde Barbie doll and the man of her dreams didn't even know she was alive.
Franko was through with women, or so he thought until the hottest little spitfire he'd ever met walked into him and set him straight. He now had five days until she left the mine for good to convince her that he was the Christmas gift of her dreams.
Excerpt : Unedited.
She’d never felt so angry. How could they disappoint so many people, without even a second thought? They’d used some lame ass excuse, about the flight crew wishing to spend the holidays with their families. Well Duh! Who didn’t? Unfortunately for her and everyone else in her boat, they couldn’t leave site if the plane didn’t show. “Damn, stupid, inconsiderate…”
Her tirade was cut short by what felt like walking into a brick wall. Looking up…and up, she came face to…chest with the new hotty mechanic at camp. She knew it was Franko Chissolm, she recognized the shirt.
Taking the step back, she tilted her head further back to look at him in the face to apologize. Her mouth dried up at the sight of him. He was even more impressive to look at up close. His scar, that everyone was talking about, made him look distinguished and dangerous. She always did like dangerous. “Uhm…I…ahhh… damn…sorry about that.” His eyes narrowed quickly at her in anger, she didn’t understand.
“Listen lady, I may not be much to look at anymore, but you can stop starring at my scars right this second!”
Jennifer took another step back in surprise and frowned. Her bad mood had just gotten worse thanks to his obvious rudeness. “Listen, I already apologized for walking into you, and might I remind you I’m the one who got hurt here! You’re built like a freaking brick wall, where I…let’s just say I’m not. As for you’re scars, honey I have no idea who you’ve been listening to, but you are a serious babe and you’d better get used to tongue tied idiots like me acting like dolts around you. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go before I stick my foot any further into my mouth.”
Brushing past him, she fought to control the blushes she felt heating her cheeks. She really needed to learn to control her mouth when annoyed. Although, the look on his face when she called him a babe, was worth some embarrassment.
Reaching the door to her dorm residence, she couldn’t resist one last look back to see if he was still watching her.

Bare Bones has been Released.
In the mood for a little Halloween Romance? Then chekout my lattest book Bare Bones and get your Lycan fix.
Bare Bones by Aline de Chevigny
Avaialable at Red Rose Publications.
Blurb
On the run from the Lycan who turned him during the full moon on All Hallows Eve, Christian Clarke isn't happy when he finds Joanna wandering through the woods searching for him. His inner wolf refuses to leave her side, yet his inner man wishes to keep her at arm’s length for fear that he won't be able to control his inner demons.
Hearing her whispered profession of love, he reveals himself. Can he keep her safe from the pack that hunts him? Will Joanna love the beast he's become?
Excerpt:
The front door slammed, followed by sharp steps towards her room, and pausing just on the threshold. Her heart started beating painfully in her chest, wondering what would happen next.
“I promise I won’t hurt you, but you have to stay in there for a little longer. The forest is dangerous right now and I can’t let you get hurt.”
“Please, I promise not to tell anyone about any of this. I just want to go home…my boyfriend will start to worry if I don’t return soon.” Another blatant lie, she’d been doing a lot of that since Christian disappeared.
“This boyfriend, he has a name?”
The thick tone of jealousy she heard in the man’s voice surprised her. She’d never expected a reaction to her plea other than a rejection. “His name?”
“Yes, his name.”
“Christian… his name is Christian Clarke.” Silence greeted her lie. Christian had never been her boyfriend, but he was the only person she could think of and it didn’t hurt that she wished he had been.
“Christian Clarke? Isn’t he the Forester that went missing a year ago from this very same forest?”
Fresh tears ran down her cheeks at the blatant reminder. Could this man be the same one that took her Christian away? “Yes…”
“Get some sleep, I’ll bring you some food in the morning.”
“Wait, please… what happened to him? You know the truth, I can hear it in your voice.” She waited for at least an hour by the door, waiting for him to come back and answer her question but he never did. His voice though muffled sounded so familiar and soothing, leaving her feeling lost and confused about what was happening.

Because you know...
I can't resist showing off my new book covers. Especially when it's an awesome cover.
Bare Bones is schedualed for release October 6, 2007 from Red Rose Publications.
Blurb
On the run from the Lycan who turned him during the full moon on All Hallows Eve, Christian Clarke isn't happy when he finds Joanna wandering through the woods searching for him. His inner wolf refuses to leave her side, yet his inner man wishes to keep her at arm’s length for fear that he won't be able to control his inner demons.
Hearing her whispered profession of love, he reveals himself. Can he keep her safe from the pack that hunts him? Will Joanna love the beast he's become?
Unedited Excerpt
Throwing Joanna over his shoulder, he moved quickly and stealthily through the trees. It wasn’t hard avoiding Cain and his men. Despite his many years as a werewolf, the man still couldn’t walk through the forest when in human form without sounding like elephant in heat. Just because Cain had never added a woman to the pack, didn’t mean he never would and once he set eyes on Joanna it would be a fight to the death to keep her out of his hands. It still might…
Entering his cabin, he quickly bolted the door before taking Joanna into the back room and laying her on the bed. Standing back, he looked her over, running his eyes over every inch of her body like a man dying of thirst. She was still beautiful; nothing would ever change that. But she looked tired and worn. That wasn’t normal for her. Her long, raven colored tresses were tied loosely in a ponytail, strands escaping from the ribbon messily. She looked wild, free, and never more beautiful. Her skin was pale and she looked thinner than the last time he saw her. He hated seeing her this way; he liked her curves.
Joanna stirred as a shiver passed through her. Reacting instinctively, Christian fetched a blanket from the closet and gently covered her with it. “What do I do with you now, my dear Joanna? I can’t let you leave, not while Cain is out there hunting me. He’d take one look at your beauty and snatch you away for himself. Then I’d have to kill him for touching you.”
A barely legible murmur escaped her lips, pulling a smile from his lips. There were some advantages to be a Lycan. He heard every deliciously whispered word. No, he couldn’t let her leave; only now his reasons weren’t so unselfish. He wanted to keep her for himself, lose himself in her arms, and lips. Christian finally understood what his subconscious had been trying to tell him for the past year, that he needed her. She was his sanity, the thing that kept him holding on.

Hearing her whispered profession of love, he reveals himself. Can he keep her safe from the pack that hunts him? Will Joanna love the beast he's become?
Unedited Excerpt
Throwing Joanna over his shoulder, he moved quickly and stealthily through the trees. It wasn’t hard avoiding Cain and his men. Despite his many years as a werewolf, the man still couldn’t walk through the forest when in human form without sounding like elephant in heat. Just because Cain had never added a woman to the pack, didn’t mean he never would and once he set eyes on Joanna it would be a fight to the death to keep her out of his hands. It still might…
Entering his cabin, he quickly bolted the door before taking Joanna into the back room and laying her on the bed. Standing back, he looked her over, running his eyes over every inch of her body like a man dying of thirst. She was still beautiful; nothing would ever change that. But she looked tired and worn. That wasn’t normal for her. Her long, raven colored tresses were tied loosely in a ponytail, strands escaping from the ribbon messily. She looked wild, free, and never more beautiful. Her skin was pale and she looked thinner than the last time he saw her. He hated seeing her this way; he liked her curves.
Joanna stirred as a shiver passed through her. Reacting instinctively, Christian fetched a blanket from the closet and gently covered her with it. “What do I do with you now, my dear Joanna? I can’t let you leave, not while Cain is out there hunting me. He’d take one look at your beauty and snatch you away for himself. Then I’d have to kill him for touching you.”
A barely legible murmur escaped her lips, pulling a smile from his lips. There were some advantages to be a Lycan. He heard every deliciously whispered word. No, he couldn’t let her leave; only now his reasons weren’t so unselfish. He wanted to keep her for himself, lose himself in her arms, and lips. Christian finally understood what his subconscious had been trying to tell him for the past year, that he needed her. She was his sanity, the thing that kept him holding on.
