sss 23 -- dracula?


Compelled by curiosity, she peeled back her veil and squinted to study the darkness. A stunning image rewarded her instincts when Dracula stepped from the shadows. Dracula? Had Nick spiked her drink? Top hat, rounded glasses, and dark piercing eyes glared at her. He tipped his hat before curving his mouth into a subtle, sexy smile with pointed canines that glistened in the dark. -- (c) JoAnne Kenrick. All rights reserved.

I'm back...after a two week break! Did you miss me? Probably not, but I missed you. And my goodness, it's fantastic to be back. I do hope you enjoyed my offering for this weeks SSS.
Oh, and don't you just love my sparkly new cover? I think this is my favorite cover yet.
