Devil vs. Angel

Have you met Alvin?

March 19, 2019 by Mary

Alvin Stone from Devil vs. Angel

Seven questions with Alvin Stone…

Name: Alvin Stone
Age: 38
Occupation: Bartender

What was your first tattoo?

Alvin: The band on my bicep. It reminded me I’m strong.

We can all tell you’re strong by looking at you. What would you say is your biggest strength?

A: Knowing when people need to talk. It’s a skill you pick up being behind the bar.

Do you have any weaknesses?

A: (Laughs) Absolutely. My biggest one is my friend’s kid, David. He’s an awesome little dude.

You said he’s your biggest one. Do you have more?

A: Definitely. A curvy woman will always bring me to my knees. Especially if she has a smart mouth and a killer smile.

Do you know any like that?

A: Nope.

Sounds like there’s more to that one, but we’ll ask a different question. What do you avoid more than anything in the world?

A: A second date.

Really? Why is that?

A: Is that question seven? (Smirks)

Uh, no. It’s a continuation of question six.

A: Trying to sneak an extra one in. I’ll allow it. Women get attached. I’m not built for forever. Not with a woman. I love kids, but having one means having his mother around, and I know better than to think I could deal with that forever.

If the right woman came along, would you want a family?

A: (Nods) Yeah. I’ve always wanted a family, but it’s not in the cards for me. It sucks, but what can you do.

There’s someone out there for you. You’ll find her.

A: (Smiles) Maybe. She’s gotta be pretty damn special to put up with me, though.

Devil vs. Angel is here!

March 5, 2019 by Mary

There are some books I write that I love. That from the very first word, I knew it was a book that was going to grab me and pull me along. Devil vs. Angel was not that book!

That’s not what you want to hear, but I’m all about telling the truth here, so I’m admitting it. I never really hit a stretch of time with this book where I could sit down and sink my teeth into it. Through writing and editing, I was pulled in so many different directions, I barely knew which way was up. I’d prefer to write a book, then go back and edit it later. That definitely didn’t happen the way I hoped!

In the end, I love this book. It was one I had to fight for, to make it something I was proud of, and I am. Alvin and Briella were sweet, and Kyle was so much fun to write. I guess all those snow days my kids had paid off with a little inspiration coming out on the page!

Sometimes I think these books are better, because I had to work for them. I had to analyze every word and think about every page. I hate it when I’m going through it, but once it’s over, I know it’s a damn good book because I worked hard to make sure it is. I hope you agree!

Excerpt from Devil vs. Angel

“Alvin,” she breathed, her eyes going wide as her chest rose and fell rapidly. 

I skimmed my hand up and down her back and turned her so she was shielded from the road if anyone drove by. I settled my hand on the small of her back and pressed her closer, letting her feel exactly how much I wanted her. 

With our gazes locked, I leaned in slowly, savoring every flutter of her breath, every hitch in her chest, every pulse of her need. Her eyelids eased shut, then blinked open. She wanted to watch this as much as I did. 

Our lips finally brushed. Still, we watched each other. Her eyes were bright and beautiful, staring into mine as I licked my way into her mouth. Her hands slid up my chest and found their way around my neck. She opened for me, her tentative tongue stroking alongside mine. 

I stepped closer, unable to resist pressing against her. She sucked in a sharp breath and her eyes fluttered closed once more. She pried them open, catching my gaze again. I pulsed my tongue into her mouth, then swept it around and stroked slowly against hers. Her entire body trembled. 

Her nails sank into my shoulders, urging me on. I had to touch her. To feel her soft skin under my fingertips. I was still cognizant of where we were, but there was a part of me that didn’t give a shit. This woman made me lose my mind. I had a singular purpose, and it centered around what she needed.

Sweet and Tempting

February 19, 2019 by Mary

When I first planned out the Opposites Attract series, I imagined Alvin with someone else. I’m not sure who, but that wasn’t the way things were supposed to go. But when I met Briella, I knew those two were going to end up together.

He’s always loved kids, but he has a big issue with their moms. Alvin’s the kind of guy who doesn’t want to be told what to do, ever. But Briella isn’t that woman. She’s the kind of woman who makes him laugh and forget that she’s someone he shouldn’t be interested in.

Briella’s had more than her share of disappointments in life. On the heels on her divorce, she has no interest in getting involved with a new guy. She has her guy. He’s seven and the most important man in her life.

Somewhere along the line, they become friends, but it isn’t enough. Of course, before we get there, things get a little tempting.

Excerpt from Devil vs. Angel

Briella had her back to me, but Kyle was smiling up at me. I high-fived him and invited him in, then caught Bri’s eye. Her brown eyes were wary as they took me in. She scanned me head to toe, making me stand up straighter in an effort to pass whatever test I was taking. 

While she looked, I did, too. She wore tan shorts that ended just above her knees. Tan sandals tied up her ankles and did crazy things to her legs, which I was picturing around my waist again. Her soft pink top made her olive skin glow. It hugged her breasts, and I was done for. 

Jesus. I’d never had that kind of reaction to Briella. I’d known her forever, but all of a sudden, she wasn’t Ada’s friend. She was just Briella. All grown up and sexy. And I was in trouble because she was also still broken from her marriage ending. 

I had to get my shit in line. This was about Kyle, and making both their lives easier, not me getting laid. 

“Can I come in, too?” she asked softly. 

I shook my head to clear it and stepped back. “Of course. Sorry.” 

She stepped inside, and that was when I realized she was carrying something. It smelled sweet and almost as tempting as her.
