Today I want to welcome, Author, Rebecca Besser, to my blog. She has a new book out this week, titled, Nurse Blood that we would like to share with you.
Rebecca
Besser resides in Ohio with her wonderful husband and amazing son.
They've come to accept her quirks as normal while she writes anything
and everything that makes her inner demons squeal with delight. She's
best known for her work in adult horror, but has been published in
fiction, nonfiction, and poetry for a variety of age groups and
genres. She's entirely too cute to be scary in person, so she turns
to the page to instill fear into the hearts of the masses.
Nurse
Blood Summary (Limitless Publishing):
Sonya
Garret roams the bar scene hoping to steal the heart of an
unsuspecting victim—literally…
Sonya,
better known as Nurse Blood, is part of a team of lethal organ
harvesters who seek out the weak to seduce, kill, and part out for
profit on the black market. When Sonya meets Daniel McCoy, a young
man recovering from a broken engagement, he’s just another kill to
line her pockets with quick cash.
Agent
David McCoy vows to find out how and why his twin brother Daniel
disappeared…
Daniel’s
body hasn’t been found, and the leads are slim to none, but it
won’t stop David from dedicating his life to solving his brother’s
case. When the evidence finally uncovers the shocking truth that
Daniel’s disappearance is linked to organ harvesters, David knows
his brother is most likely dead. But he’s determined to stop the
villains’ killing spree before they strike again.
One
last harvest is all Sonya and her team need to put their murderous
past behind them…
A
family with the rarest blood type in the world is the only thing
standing between Sonya and retirement. David McCoy and the FBI are
hot on their trail, though, and multiple targets make this the most
complicated harvest yet. Will David unravel Sonya’s wicked plans in
time to avenge his brother and save an innocent family? Or will Sonya
cash in her final kill and escape for good?
Murder
for profit stops for no man when you’re Nurse Blood.
Nurse
Blood Excerpt:
Prologue:
The
air inside the nightclub was hazy from smoke machines. Flashes of
colored light cut through the swirls in beat with the pulsing music
that shook the walls and the floor. The atmosphere was alive with
movement―a mass of hot, swaying bodies bent on enjoying the moment.
A monster waited in the depths of the darkness to bat her pretty eyes
at someone and make them her prey.
The
door of the establishment swung open to give way to three eager young
men looking to have a good time and celebrate. The trio was instantly
surrounded by dancing women. They made their way through the press of
bodies to reach the bar.
Daniel
forced himself not to scan the crowd for his ex-fiancée, April. But
she was the least of his worries, as the real danger was a face he
wouldn’t recognize.
Roy
got their drinks while Hank and Daniel stood at a balcony that
overlooked an even larger dance floor below. The smoke was thicker
down there, and there were more lights. The dancers looked like they
were paying sensual homage to their deity. The air was tainted with
the aroma of perfume and alcohol; it burned the men’s nostrils and
fueled their excitement for the revelry to come.
Daniel
took a moment to text his twin brother, David, to let him know where
they would be celebrating their shared birthday. He received a text
back from David saying he was still an hour away.
Roy
joined them with three shots and three cold bottles of beer, passing
one of each to his friends. They downed the shots in one swallow
before turning their attention to their beers.
“Dave
will be here in an hour or so,” Daniel announced after downing his
shot.
“Awesome—we’re
gonna have a great time!” Hank yelled over the music.
As
Roy took a drink of his beer, a petite, slim blonde grabbed his waist
from behind. He jumped in surprise and turned, recognizing the young
woman.
She
tucked a finger into the front of his jeans, smiled at him, and
tugged him away from his friends toward a table with another girl.
Roy
looked back over his shoulder at his friends and shrugged.
“That’s
Lynn,” Hank yelled to Daniel. “They’ve been seeing each other
for a while. And that’s her cousin Trisha—you don’t want to go
there.”
Daniel
nodded and looked around. The warming effect of the shot was
spreading through his body, relaxing him. He felt less paranoid about
running into April.
While
he was looking over the crowd, a woman caught his eye. She was a
tall, slim brunette, and she was beautiful. She was standing alone at
the end of the bar. He watched her for a few moments, and when she
looked around, their eyes met.
He
smiled and looked away.
Hank
noticed Daniel’s mild interest. He knew what his friend had been
through recently and why he was gun-shy with women.
“Go
for it!” he yelled, nudging Daniel. “Have some fun!”
Daniel
looked at his friend, took another swallow of beer, glanced at the
woman—noticing she was still alone—and shrugged.
Hank
laughed and gave Daniel a shove toward the bar, causing him to slam
into two people who happened to be walking past. When he turned to
them to apologize, he came face to face with
the very woman he was hoping not to run into: April. The man she was
with was leaning on her with all his weight while she struggled to
hold him up.
Daniel’s
heart clenched in his chest and his lungs seized up for a moment. He
felt his hand tighten around the neck of his beer bottle. He wanted
to slam it over the other man’s head, but he managed to restrain
himself. He didn’t want her to know how much the sight of her with
another man hurt him, so he put on a brave front.
“Excuse
the fuck out of me,” he said with a sadistic smile, raised the
bottle in the air like he was toasting them, and then took a big swig
of the brew. He was pleased with the shocked expression that spread
across April’s face at his harsh greeting.
They
didn’t say anything to Daniel, but focused back on each other and
moved around him and deeper into the establishment.
Daniel
glanced over to Hank, who was grinning from ear to ear.
He
smiled at his friend, nodded, and forced himself to put one foot in
front of the other until he made it over to the woman at the bar.
While he walked he pretended not to notice that April had glanced
back at him several times as she guided her drunken man to a table
where he could sit down. He was determined to show April she wasn’t
the only woman in the world. He was going to prove to himself and her
that he was over the breakup.
“Hi,
I’m Daniel!” he yelled when he reached the woman, leaning toward
her a little so she could hear him as a new song started to play.
“Grace!”
she yelled back.
They
smiled at each other.
The
couple chatted for a while about nothing important, since it was too
loud to carry on a serious conversation, and ordered drink after
drink as they stood at the bar. Daniel’s emotional tension eased
little by little with every drink. He became more and more relaxed,
and friendlier and friendlier with Grace. Before he knew what was
happening, they were pressed up against each other while they
conversed so they could hear each other better.
“Let’s
get out of here,” Grace said. She kissed him and reached down
between them to rub his crotch.
Normally
Daniel would be shocked and uneasy by such a gesture so soon after
meeting a woman, but he’d had enough drinks not to care about how
respectable she was or wasn’t being.
He
nodded in agreement and looked around for his friends, frowning.
“I
have to tell my friends I’m leaving,” he said, taking a step away
from Grace.
“Oh,
don’t worry about it,” Grace said, rubbing his crotch again.
“They’ll figure it out. Besides, you can call them later and they
can pick you up from my place.”
That
sounded reasonable so he followed her out to the parking lot. The
night was clear and felt cool after the heat from the population of
patrons inside the nightclub.
They
stumbled together through the parking lot and paused to make out,
pressed against the side of her car for a couple minutes before they
finally separated their bodies to get in.
Daniel
had the passenger’s side door open and was about to climb inside
when his cell phone beeped, notifying him of a text. He stopped,
stood up straight beside the car, and pulled his wallet out of his
back pocket by mistake. He reached into his other back pocket and
extracted his cell phone. He frowned and squinted to focus on the
tiny, bright screen that said David was only a block away.
“What
are you doing?” Grace asked.
“I
can’t go with you,” he said with a sigh. “Sorry. I—”
He
felt a sharp pain in the side of his neck. He reached up to figure
out what had hurt him and spun around at the same time, dropping his
cell phone and wallet to the asphalt parking lot.
Grace
was standing behind him holding an empty syringe.
“I’m
sorry,” she said, “but you have to come with me.”
He
tried to shove her away, but his limbs wouldn’t do what he wanted
them to. His legs gave out from beneath him as the world blurred into
a black blob of nothing.
***
Grace
shoved Daniel’s tall frame into the passenger seat when he started
to fall, smacking his head on the door frame. She quickly picked his
feet up from the ground and spun him so she could get him all the way
into the car.
She
heard laughing as a couple made their way through the parking lot a
few rows over, so she didn’t take the time to pick up what Daniel
had dropped.
Grace
shut the passenger door and ran around to the driver’s side of her
car. She scanned the parking lot as she pulled out, not seeing anyone
close-by. She’d been careful, watching for people as they’d
headed outside, but the distant couple had snuck up on them. Luckily
they hadn’t come close enough to see what she was up to. She tensed
slightly when she had to pass another vehicle as she pulled from the
lot out onto the street, but the man was looking in the opposite
direction and didn’t even glance their way.
Once
she was out of the parking lot and a couple blocks away, she pulled
out her cell phone and called Roger.
“Hey,”
she said into the phone. “I have fresh meat…”
