Dark Kisses provides a bit of suspense, and a whole lot of romance between Carrie and Ty, two people who have had opposite pasts. Carrie has always played by the rules, and her life appears all set until the day she meets Ty. He’s the antithesis of her. He’s rarely settled in one place for long and thinks nothing of bending the rules to achieve his goals. Carrie is his lightness against his darkness.

Although a good roll in the sack might temporarily scratch the itch, both soon find that they’re addicted to each other. Alas, the ending of his assignment means the wanderlust filled Ty must move on, but can he leave Carrie behind? Or, will Carrie decide to leave her roots and share a life with him far from Peking? Rachel Carrington has written a mesmerizing tale that will leave readers guessing as to which way the lovers will decide. Their fiery romance is the main focus of DARK KISSES, but the secondary story, and Ty’s reasons for being in Peking, shapes it into a well-rounded story.

An enjoyable romance combined with a fascinating plot is the order of the day in DARK KISSES. Don’t miss this beguiling story from Rachel Carrington.

Carrie pressed her mud-covered face against the thick terry cloth towel, breathing in the fresh scent. Curling her arms behind her head, she stretched out on her back atop the massage table, her toes furling upwards in sheer ecstasy. She couldn't remember the last time she=d been so pampered and she was enjoying every minute of this mini-vacation.

Ms. Winslow? The deep voice brought her upright with a start. She whirled around on the table, her slippery skin causing her to slide dangerously close to the edge. Her hands reached out, grasping for a hold, something to keep her in one place.

A strong hand closed around her wrist and hauled her upright, saving her from landing face forward on the carpeted floor. AI apologize for startling you.  The voice was laced with amusement and an accent that Carrie couldn't place.

Sitting lotus style, Carrie glared at her visitor while trying not to notice the bulging biceps and impressive chest. She didn't know the man, had never seen him before, that she knew for sure. His face captured her attention. Mocha-colored skin, startling hazel eyes, high cheekbones and full, sensuous lips that begged immediate attention riveted her and almost elicited a soft sound of appreciation until Carrie squelched it. It was a face that could only be described as beautiful, classic and surrounded by thick, long braids that fell well below his shoulders, it was a face that demanded awareness. Irritated with herself, she said, If you could read, the sign on the door says do not disturb, Mr..." She paused to let him fill in his name.

Ty reached for a nearby towel and handed it to her. Hamilton. My name is Ty Hamilton, and if you wouldn't  mind covering up while we continue this conversation, I'm sure we'd both be more comfortable.

Carrie's eyes dropped to her naked breasts and with a low sound of disgust, she yanked the towel from the stranger's hand and tucked it around her slim figure. Well, I'm sorry if I offended you, Mr. Hamilton, but I wasn't  expecting visitors. Her nipples had puckered, either from the cold air or the man's nearness and when had she become so short of breath. The hairs on the back of her neck were standing aright and there was a strange warmth between her thighs. She cleared her throat and busied her hands with tightening the towel.

I need to speak with you. The man's cultured voice flowed over her, like a thick, rich ribbon of pure honey. Good God, who was he?

You are speaking with me...in a very awkward situation, I might add. She continued to glare up at him, taking note of the fact that her neck was beginning to ache, but she wasn't  about to invite him to have a seat.

AI=d like a more private conversation area, if that would be possible. Ty didn't  move, effectively barring any possible exit to the door that she might be contemplating.

Making sure the towel was securely in place, Carrie slid to the floor, pushing the terry cloth down over her toned thighs. Then I would suggest you make an appointment.
