As I'm taking part at the last minute - I literally found out about this fest an hour ago - here's a thrilling little excerpt from my current paranormal romance WiP. Enjoy!
"A thrill of excitement shot up my spine when I realised, just a few steps ahead of me was Pierre Beaufort, the male model sensation and face of the newly launched Farley Cosmetics masculine range. The ad campaign featured him in nothing but tight black boxers and I almost didn't recognise him with his clothes on, but I’d remember those piercing blue eyes and luscious blond hair anywhere."
Very well done, for a rushed entry Clare!
