Okay so I’m working on my new book. It’s the fourth for Avon and though it ties up some character arcs from the first three jaguar warrior books, it’s definitely heading in a different direction. It’s exciting…writing a new story arc and creating a different world for the continuation of this series.

But for now I get to play with Declan. He’s always been one of my favorite characters. He’s a smart ass with a heart of gold. And he’s loves a woman who doesn’t return his feelings. Or does she? LOL, you’ll have to stay tuned as to the fate of Declan and whomever woman he ends up with!

Here are a few of my fave lines so far:

Nico glanced his way and Declan winced at the fury that lay in his eyes. Shit here we go. With his newly shorn Mohawk the jaguar looked like a deranged serial killer. “One word,” the warrior hissed, “purgatory.”
Declan clenched his hands into fists, at the ready, just in case. He was never going to live down the Church of the Holy fiasco. “Look the whole purgatory thing was a mistake but can we please move on? How the hell was I supposed to know the ladies were pure? That they’d been chosen to serve?”
Nico was disgusted. “They were living in a fucking convent. That might have been your first clue.”

“Did you want more?” His voice was like silk and she could see the smirk that hugged the corner of his mouth. What the hell was wrong with her?
“No!” She protested much too quickly and as his smile deepened Ana fought the urge to slam her fist up the side of his head.
“The next time I put my mouth on your body I intend to take my time and indulge.”
Ana jumped off the counter. “There won’t be a next time. You’re not my type, remember?” Liar…everything about him is your type.
Declan was nearly out the door. “Yeah, and your eyes are not tattooed to my ass right now.”

So there you have it….oh and as an added bonus here are my visual inspiration!

So, what do you think? Do they look like the characters you pictured?
