Curvaceous Condemnation
Series: The Endurers
Book 2
The Endurers - Immortal, alpha warriors chosen to fight the evil that
stalks humanity. Major players in the upcoming Armageddon. Single and
sexy as hell.
Death. Pain. Tragedy....
For Endurer Vincent Chavalerio, immortality has brought nothing but
torment and misery. Cursed to forever watch anyone he loves die, one
night it becomes too much. In a moment of devastation, Vincent makes a
decision that will alter his life forever.
Plus-sized Scarlett Hamilton is desperate to learn how to live again
after the death of her fiance, Niles. She's sent to list a historic
mansion in New Orleans, but she ends up buying it for herself. Little
does she know, there is already someone living within the walls and a
gateway to Hell in the backyard.
Scarlett believes she is haunted by a gorgeous ghost, but his reaction
to her body comes from a 100% red-blooded male. After being asleep for
two hundred years, he's desperate to seduce her. Scarlett soon discovers
an erotic passion in the immortal's arms, but he's still determined to
let her go. Will he move past his grief and indifference enough to
recognize what's waiting right in front of him?
The demon that cursed him won't release Vincent, even if it means the
destruction of New Orleans. One night, a devastating tragedy occurs.
Hell fulfills an accepted bargain, condemning the city in the process.
Time has ran out. Vincent has to see the truth. If not, he will lose
Scarlett, and his own destiny, forever.
Excerpt:
“Veronique? They have names?”
“Yes, but don’t ever use their names. Ever. When a human uses their
name, it makes them more powerful. It’s almost like worship to them, and
worship gives them strength. An Endurer has protection against this, but
you don’t. Never speak it, even if you know it.”
“Okay,” she replied. “You won’t have to tell me twice. How do you know
her name?”
It was a question he had no intention of answering, at least not now.
He wanted to bed her, badly. The last thing he needed to mention was
women had died because of him. Somehow, he didn’t think that would help
his cause. “It doesn’t matter. What does matter is freeing you from the
curse.”
She remembered her parents and gasped, eyes widening with horror. “My
mom and dad are coming for an overnight visit Saturday. What am I going
to do?”
“Try to cancel. If you can’t, we’ll work around it. Who knows? Maybe we
will have the curse broke by then.” He doubted it, but kept his doubts
to himself. Where was Arch when you really needed him?
“I’m going to call a priest in to bless the house. Maybe he can shed
some light on the situation,” Vincent continued gruffly. He was going to
keep a better eye on her from here on out, no more midnight raids on her
refrigerator unless she was with him.
His stomach rumbled at the thought of her cooking. The woman could cook
like nobody’s business, and the leftovers were heavenly. His metabolism
was extremely high due to the constant renewing of his body, and it gave
him an extraordinarily high appetite.
The sound drew her attention, and she stared at him, as he blushed in
embarrassment. “Nice to know you really are human,” she said with a
small smile. “At least now I know what’s been happening to my
leftovers.”
“Sorry,” he replied sheepishly. “They were delicious.”
She felt strangely pleased that he liked her cooking. It was
flattering. She was sure in his lifetime he’d had all types of food, but
he enjoyed hers. “Well then, I guess I’ll be going to the store more
often,” she said smiling, feeling the blush spreading across her cheeks.
Her arms began to ache, and she looked down to see what was wrong. In
the light, she could see the dark purple bruises marring the paleness of
her skin. They seemed to worsen by the minute.
He saw them too and growled. Moving quickly, he knelt in the floor in
front of her, noting each and every purple spot. “The demon hurt you,”
he said softly, but she could hear the anger in his tone. “For that, he
will painfully die.”
Suddenly his mood changed. Slowly, he raised his head, his heated eyes
meeting her dazed ones. He held her gaze for a moment before leaning
forward and kissing each bruise.
He took his slow, sweet time, his firm lips highly erotic against her
skin. She groaned softly at the tantalizing sweep of his tongue against
each one. Her nipples beaded underneath the thin material of her
nightgown in reaction.
His eyes glittered when he saw the visible response of her body to his
mouth. The very air was charged with an erotic energy that singed both
of them with its intensity. Her body grew hot with a burning need that
demanded to be fulfilled.
He could sense it with his supernatural senses. He gave her a smile
full of sexual promise. “I want to make love with you, Scarlett. Will
you allow me?”

FAIRY THOUGHTS
Favorite Line(s) “You haven't seen anything yet,” he told the other man. “Wait until you see the Internet.”
“She couldn't take it. It would seem you've already given it away, and to the right side I might add. Thank God you did.”
“Soul mates were the most precious gift that could ever be bestowed upon a immortal person that lived to battle true and ancient evil”
“They were only one of two couples, though, much more were needed. The Endurers were a stubborn bunch, resistant to love. Silly immortals. Love was what made the world go round. Without love, his people stood no chance at surviving Armageddon. There was enough hate as it was.”
Yummy!
Man, I love these Endurers! They are amazing men! In this story Vincent has been in stasis for over 100 yrs because he was cursed by a demon to lose his soul mates! He has lost two and Arch was scared he would kill himself to get away from the pain! When he wakes up he is kinda mad because he had planned on dying and Arch only put him in stasis! He's also confused he's in his hidden room in hid house and there is a woman who is living there.
Scarlett is a recent widower she moved to New Orleans to try and move on with life but, what she doesn't know is the same demon who cursed Vincent has also cursed Scarlett!
