Author: Jackson D'Lynne is the pseudonym for a hardworking wife and mother of four, transplanted from California and now stuck in small town Pennsylvania. Always an avid reader, she's been devouring books since middle school. Nowadays, when she's not reading, she's writing sweet historical romance as Lynn Winchester, sexy historical romance as Rosamund Winchester, and sexy contemporary romance as Eve Black. Basically, she writes whatever her muse commands. The Diva and the Duke Haven Edwards is a 21st century diva with an "exotic" career. Wanting nothing more than to move past her ugly divorce, she attends an adults only Carnal-val where she's compelled to steal a strangely glowing pocket watch. Overcome with its power, she winds it and thrown back in time to 1817 where she crashes into the life of the very proper, very sexy, Logan Dunham. A duke with a deep distrust of beautiful women, Logan can't understand his staggering desire for the woman with the quick wit, and jade green eyes--the woman who haunted his dreams long before they met. Haven is determined to find a way home, but she can't shake her hunger for the dark, brooding duke. He's a duke, he's out of her league, right? So why does her heart beat a little faster whenever he is near? Why does her mind conjure images of happily ever after? One touch, and they are consumed by their desire. But before they can untangle their feelings for one another, a sociopath with a god complex and a knife fetish sets his evil intents on Haven. In order to save her life, Logan must destroy the demons of his past, and learn to trust a power he doesn't understand. What happens when he arrives too late? Will the time-swept diva be lost forever, or will the diva get her duke?

Chapter 65

"When I am done with her, she will be a climax of my masterwork, a gift to the inferior human race from my Heavenly Sire." He flashed a smile of twisted beneficence, as though he bestowed grace on unworthy beings.

Swallowing passed the sick in his throat, Logan commanded, "I said let her go. You're done."

Looking to all the world as if he had just slandered his character, Angelous' expression seethed with dark intent. Wrath and malice poured from his body. "You would have me stop, to leave before my work is complete? You would take my Sire's approval from me? Nein! I will complete my commission, I will do as my Heavenly Sire has commanded. I will make this world perfect. I will make this masterpiece perfect." With his last word, he flew to the table where Haven lay, and thrust his knife into the flesh beneath her breast. She heaved upward, a scream tearing from her throat, and blood pouring from the wound.
