To save her, he must let go of everything he ever believed.

Upon returning to her hometown for her grandmother's funeral, Sage Matthews is terrorized by a series of strange events. She dismisses each eerie occurrence as a by-product of her overwrought emotional state, until it becomes chillingly clear that something not of this world is desperate to get a message-or is it a warning?-through to her…


Detective Sergeant Ethan Blade comes to Cryton, South Australia, to catch a serial killer. When Ethan meets Sage-the latest victim's beautiful granddaughter-his attraction to her is explosive and inconvenient. He knows she's not crazy, but Sage's theory about the murders is unbelievable.

With the handsome detective rejecting her ideas, Sage embarks on the supernatural journey that her grandmother started. What she discovers shatters everything Sage ever knew about herself-and who she really is.

Ethan's routine case quickly turns personal when he discovers Sage is the killer's next target. For her, he'll break all the rules and cross every line. But how can he protect Sage from an evil he cannot even conceive of?

"You look so sexy lying there with your shirt ripped open and your hair scattered across the pillow." His voice was deep, his focus intense. Her pulse tripped, skittering along in a new rhythm.

"Don't move," he ordered. He removed his gun and utility belt and placed them on the chair. Grabbing the neckline of his fitted gray T-shirt with one hand, he tugged it up and off in one swift movement. Sage knew she was staring. She couldn't help it; his body was even more perfect than she had imagined. Well-toned, but not bulky, his muscles rippling with his movements. A thin and sexy trail of hair started at his bellybutton and disappeared suggestively into the top of his jeans. She struggled to swallow, her mouth suddenly dry.

Not taking his eyes off her, he undid the top button of his jeans and positioned his body over hers, resting his weight on his arms. His mouth captured hers, the deep kiss reigniting the fire that had barely banked between them.

She ran her hands over the taught contours of his abdomen, marvelling at the way the individual muscles contracted beneath her fingertips. She played with that neat line of hair, and he sucked in a breath, catching her wrists as she tried to tug the denim down. Capturing both hands, he placed them above her head.

"Thought I told you not to move." His voice was barely recognizable, little more than a sexy rasp. He motioned to the chair where his utility belt lay. "Do I have to use my cuffs, or will you stay still?"

Cuffs? Oh hell, yes! An image of herself, restrained on the bed while Ethan teased and pleasured her needy flesh, flashed into her mind. The tender place between her legs throbbed its approval.

Virtual Tour: A Prince of a Guy by Eileen Dreyer @GoddessFish #Giveaway





A Prince of a Guy

by Eileen Dreyer

GENRE: Contemporary Romance



BLURB:

When New Yorker Casey Phillips visits the tiny country of Moritania, she simply wants to see where her ancestors came from. Instead, she's mistaken for a princess.

The real princess has been kidnapped, and Crown Prince Eric von Lieberhaven insists Casey—a dead ringer for the missing royal—step into the princess's shoes until she can be freed.

As Casey upends royal tradition, Eric finds himself hoping the cheeky American never returns home. But can a secretary from Brooklyn really find happiness with a prince?




EXCERPT:

Somewhere in the Alps, 1987


Twenty minutes later, Casey occupied a chair in the little booth at the edge of Moritania while two officers dressed like the Pope's Swiss Guards scuttled around trying to find new and different ways to make her more comfortable. She assured them that there was only so much comfort one could find at a border crossing. All she succeeded in doing was making them look more miserable. But when she asked whether the American consul was coming, or even a tow truck, all they did was exchange worried little glances.

"Soon now, my lady," the spokesman assured her, actually wringing his hands. "He promised."

Casey shrugged again, thinking that she was doing a lot of that, and crossed her legs, resettling her wide denim skirt around her legs. Not exactly climbing clothes. But then, Julie Andrews had done the Alps in a habit.

"This is real Sound of Music country," she said, not really expecting an answer by now. "Of course, you guys were probably raised on Wagner and Romberg."

No answer.

"Romberg," she repeated. "You know, Student Prince?"

"Cassandra, what on earth are you up to now?"

Casey lifted her head with a start at the sound of the new voice. Then her mouth dropped open and her brain stalled. Now how had he snuck up on her?

The guards were saluting now, and a new man stood in the doorway. Man? More like a miracle. He was breathtaking, the kind of man she was sure she had never in her life run into on the streets of Brooklyn. Clad in precisely pressed gray flannel slacks, a hunter's jacket of tweed and leather and a wool sweater over a snow-white shirt and navy blue tie, he looked more like an English lord gone to tour his estate.

Tall, maybe six feet, and slim. Athletic. Casey could imagine him on a polo pony or a yacht, the wind sweeping through his golden-brown hair. He had a face that would have made Cary Grant cry: long, with an aquiline nose, a strong chin and a well-bred brow. It was a cultured face with eyes the color of a summer sky, although right now that summer sky seemed a bit chilly. And it went with an actual English accent. In the Alps.

A most practical child, Casey had never been able to figure how Cinderella could have been swept off her feet within the space of one dance. If this guy had been the one wearing the tights, it would have made perfect sense. She was in love before she even knew his name.

He turned briefly and dispatched the guards with a gentle word. The relief on their features was palpable as they straightened and departed.

"How did you do that?" Casey asked, getting to her feet. "No matter what I did they kept checking out their toes. It's kind of unnerving after awhile, ya know?"

Her guest considered her with evident frustration. "When are you going to stop? You're not going to make them better subjects by playing games with them. And you're certainly playing havoc with my schedule."

"Thanks for the interest," Casey said, smiling dryly. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"And where in heaven's name did you pick up that atrocious accent?"

Casey was bristling now. "From my mother. She has one just like it. Listen, my car broke down and I need a tow. And I forgot my passport back at the hotel. Otherwise I wouldn't have had you paged. Are you with the American embassy?"

He straightened a little, his head tilted at an angle of inspection. "Cassandra..."

"Nobody's called me Cassandra since the nuns. Actually, they called me Mary Cassandra, but...” She blinked, taken aback. “Wait. How did you know my name?" She shook her head, the confusion mounting. "Listen, I'll tell you what. If you're not with the embassy, just call me a tow or whatever. If this is an example of Moritanian hospitality, I don't think I want to visit after all. I'd have more fun in the Bronx on a Saturday night."

Casey had more to say. Something about rudeness and insanity and lack of oxygen at high altitudes. She never quite got it out. As she was speaking, the gentleman's eyes widened with an incredulity that gave her pause. His mouth opened and he stepped up to her. When he laid a hand under her chin and lifted it, she fell mute.

His eyes caught hers and held them. His hand, graceful and strong, stilled her. With just that contact, Casey found herself suffused with a sweet hesitation she'd never known. A languid heat, as if his eyes were stealing her strength. She looked up at him and forgot what she'd been about to say and why it had been important. Hell, given a minute more and she'd forget her name and birthday.

"Bloody hell," he breathed, his gaze suddenly sharpening. His eyes swept her features, her attire, and then came back to rest on her face. "You're not like her at all, are you? Not at all."

Casey couldn't seem to drag her eyes away. "I... wouldn't know. Who?"

"Who are you?"

"Casey Phillips. Who are you?"

He actually opened his mouth and closed it once before answering. "Eric von Lieberhaven."

Their voices had grown soft somehow, intimate in the little room. It was Mr. Von Lieberhaven who broke the spell first, pulling his hand away as if he'd been scalded. Casey saw him rub it against his leg in what she was sure was an uncharacteristic gesture. She wasn't sure how she knew. She just did.

"But why did they call you?" she asked when he moved far enough away that she could breathe again. "You never told me. Do you work for the American embassy? Or the English embassy?"

The smile he gave her was a bright one, rueful and wry. He had beautiful white teeth and a pattern of crow's-feet from the sun and wind that imbued his smiles with an endearing warmth. Casey smiled back without knowing why.

"No," he assured her. "I am not with the embassy."

That fancy British accent again. Not the kind you heard on BBC. The real posh one, just a bit nasally. If he hadn't been standing right in front of her, Casey would have tried to mimic it. It was the closest she'd been to traveling to other countries before this.

What she really wanted, she realized, was to get to know Eric von Whatever better. Fat chance, from the looks of him. He looked as if he'd been afforded more in life than a flat and a high school education.

Outside the phone jangled, and one of the guards went to answer it.

"Your Highness?"

Eric turned to him.

Casey gaped. "Your what?"
