<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Chago
walked across the open Montana field toward the broken fence in the distance.
He lugged the heavy toolbox one-handed and glanced sideways to see his herd
while they grazed on the nearby plain. A small calf trotted in his direction
and nuzzled his hand, searching for its daily treat.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Hola,
Ernie.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out an apple. The calf chomped
his prize and cantered away. Chago shook his head at the tiny cow’s retreating
waddle and pushed the rim of his Stetson a tad higher before he continued on
his way. After a short trek, he reached the broken section of fence and knelt
to examine the damage. Hammer in hand, he squinted into the bright light of the
rising sun, placed the first spike, and pounded away.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Domesticated
wasn’t a word most people would use to describe him. Most said he possessed
more brawn than sophistication, more muscle than grace. Chago had learned long
ago to use his bodybuilder physique and unsettling manner to his advantage. Few
knew the true extent of his intelligence or the depths of his emotions and he
intended to keep his brawn-over-brains persona intact.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The
ranch’s open expanses and fresh air suited him in a way no other place had in
eons and reminded him of his human childhood in the Pyrenees. He planned to
retire here as soon as he could figure out a way to convince Divinity. A
millennia as the Scion combat expert had taken their toll.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Finished
with his repairs, he climbed through the slats to view the other side of the
fence and stopped short. A familiar burn ignited around the sigil on his lower
abdomen. Duty called. He glanced toward the sky with exasperation. “Really?”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">One
second he was standing in the field, flies buzzing around his head. The next he
was the star attraction in a white marble room. The only other occupant of the
grand hall stood dead center. Her sharp gaze assessed him from top to toe.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Chago.”
The older woman’s expression held a hint of humor before she hid it behind a
mask of calm.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Divinity.”
He bowed in deference and caught a whiff of fresh cow patty. Fantastic. He
spied a telltale clump on the side of his well-worn boots and an image of</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">the small calf flashed into his

<b>Love, like War, will always find a way…</b></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
War has shaped every aspect of Irena Soldan’s
life—her childhood, her work, her DNA. Unaware she is the genetic host of the
second Seal of the Apocalypse, Irena battles for those who cannot fight for
themselves. As a top human-rights operative for The Omega Consortium, her
company provides both the financial backing required to undertake her task and
a charismatic, publicity-loving boss to promote her cause. Life proceeds on
plan for Irena until a mysterious, sexy stranger arrives claiming to be her
guardian and Irena’s path takes a sudden, inauspicious turn for both the erotic
and the lethal. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Chago has always been the quiet one amongst his
warrior Scion brethren—the brooding, Spanish combat expert with a hidden soft
side.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A member of Divinity’s covert
special forces, he’s protected humanity for more than a millennium. Still, his
greatest joy comes not from the battlefield, but from tending the cattle herd
on his remote Montana ranch.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Irena’s new assignment takes her straight to the
heart of a bloody civil conflict in Sub-Saharan Africa and Chago’s mission
demands he follow. Expecting a seething cauldron of female whoop-ass, he
instead discovers a harbinger of peace amidst a world of ever-increasing
violence. The explosively tense situation is further magnified by the cunning
Omega Consortium leader, his ambiguous personal agenda, and an ancient foe
whose audacious rise to power threatens the world’s very existence. </div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">

dropped her gaze and took a sudden interest in her shoes. Funny. She’d been
asking herself the same question all night. “And Drake is not my boyfriend.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“He
is not my sex buddy!” Her sexual affairs were none of this man’s damn business
anyway. Why should he care who she slept with? Still, she couldn’t seem to stop
the excuses. “He was ... available.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Cringe.
Her overloud pronouncement echoed through the vacant lobby. The words sounded
crass, cheap. Things she’d never meant to imply. How could she tell a man she’d
met only hours before about the terror of the bombing raids? About the deep,
gnawing loss she’d experienced when the Burmese school had been struck by mortar
fire. About the unquenchable need to reaffirm life. Those were things he
couldn’t possibly comprehend.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The
elevator arrived and they both hustled inside. Chago reached to push the button
then returned to his corner, his arms crossed and gaze averted. Irena shuffled
uncomfortably in her own space and tried to pretend his presence didn’t disturb
the hell out of her.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Look,
I’m not easy with my affections, okay?” Shit. There went her mouth again. She
didn’t owe this man any explanation for her behavior. So why couldn’t she stop
talking? “When you’ve seen the things I have, you need some kind of life
affirmation to keep going.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Hmmm.
Is that what they’re calling it these days?” Irena glanced up to find him
focused on the ceiling. She returned to studying the</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">carpet. “Look. I’m a man of war.
I understand the need to affirm life.” Chago sighed,</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">stepping closer to rest his hand
on the wall beside her head. “But what occurred in that office was not
affirming anything except the fact Drake Benedict is a supreme ... douchebag.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Her
bottled-up stress erupted into a catharsis of giggles. To hear such an
intimidating guy call her boss a douchebag had been the highlight of Irena’s
disastrous evening. His poleaxed expression only made Irena laugh harder. Soon
helpless tears streamed down her cheeks. “I—I’m sorry. I can’t stop thinking
about the look on Drake’s face when you came out of the closet. Priceless!”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He
studied her for several moments before cracking a smile of his own. “You really
do have shitty taste in men.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Beware,
mister.” She chucked him on the arm, her giggles subsiding. “For a minute
downstairs, I thought you were pretty hot too.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">His
gaze narrowed. “Hot?” “Don’t worry. The minute has now passed.” “Maybe your
taste is improving, querida.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>

pulse raced and her throat went arid. The scent of his aftershave, cassis and
vanilla, surrounded her. He hovered, allowing her an opportunity to break free.
When she didn’t move, Chago closed the miniscule gap between them and his lips
brushed softly over hers.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Something
rustled in the nearby bushes, commanding Chago’s attention. “Show yourself!”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">A
figure broke through the brush, looming just beyond of reach of the torch.
Chago inched closer and leaned into the blackness.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Inhuman
snarls shredded the silence. Decay and moist earth reeked from the unwelcome
intruder. Torchlight glinted off rows of impossibly long teeth shoved sardine-
tight into a gaping, circular mouth reminiscent of a pool drain. Archon.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Chago
focused on the abomination before him and struggled to keep his tone calm.
“Innocent, get everyone together and leave.”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Goddammit.
He stepped closer and speared his host a furious glare, his patience at an end.
He’d not allow Archon anywhere near Irena. “Now!”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Innocent
handed over the shotgun and rushed inside to herd the others out the backdoor.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Equipped
with a weapon in each hand and an endless supply of vengeance, Chago stepped
off the porch. “C’mon, you sack of shit! Fight me!”</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Archon
swung at him and Chago took a reflexive step back. Fangs were the only sharp
feature on his opponent’s face. The rest of the bastard’s mug resembled a crazy
quilt of purplish-gray scars and bulging yellow eyes. Whatever other terrors
Lucifer fashioned, his son was a whole mess of ugly. Killing him would be an
act of mercy.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">He
raised the shotgun and fired. The bullet ricocheted off Archon’s thick hide,
ineffective. Aimed for the head and tried again. This time, Chago clipped what
appeared to be an already mangled ear. Smelly, greenish slime oozed forth.
Archon grunted but continued advancing.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Shit.
He tossed the gun aside and sliced ahead with his dagger. Archon parried with
razor-sharp claws. Together, they circled in a macabre recital of the death
ballet. A</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">mottled hand
swung close and Chago ducked then thrust his blade up toward what he hoped was
his opponent’s chest. Missed. Fuck. He’s miscalculated Archon. Again.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Archon’s
massive arm struck Chago on the side of the head and knocked him to the ground.
Pain exploded through his nervous system as a scalpel-sharp claw cleaved across
his thigh. Archon roared, his breath a putrid cocktail of human waste.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Santo
Cristo. He struggled against his opponent’s overwhelming grip. Numerous
assaults slashed his chest, his neck and soon the blood loss made him easy
quarry. Death called to Chago for the second time in twenty-four hours and once
again it promised to hurt like hell.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Into
the silent pause before his demise came a soft echo of reprieve—the snick of a
cocked gun.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“Move
away or I’ll blow your head off, asshole!” Irena’s ironclad tone carried across
the humid air.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Archon
turned and she shot. Green slime splattered, falling from his wounded mouth as
he stumbled, tripping in his rush to escape. He gave a final shout of defiance
before disappearing into the brush.</span><span style="font-family: "Times","serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Times;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-autospace: none;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Through
a pain-induced haze, Chago marveled at the precision of Irena’s strike. She’d
hit the abomination square in its soft spot. Maybe he’d underestimated her.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Mandy Malone ditches her
pharmaceutical convention and the married male colleagues hitting on her to

forces her off the road and into a deserted rest stop. When she meets another
road refugee, their attraction is immediate and molten hot. Suddenly, getting
stranded doesn’t seem like such bad luck after all. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Although totally unprepared
for Mandy’s unvarnished proposition, Jack is intrigued by the erotic offer of a
promising night of no-questions-asked sex. But when he notices the wedding band
on Mandy’s finger, will he forego the lure of a torrid clandestine affair, or
give in to the fantasy of blazing hot sex on a wintry night?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Taryn Kincaid lives in
scenic Serendipity-By-the-Sea. (Go ahead. Try to find it on a map. If you do,
Taryn will send you a smooch. Also a Nutter Butter.) She is an Olympic caliber athlete in egg
rolling contests and spends a great deal of her time petitioning the U.S.O.C.
to introduce fantail shrimp competition. When she's not bungee jumping off the Palisades or parasailing up and down the Hudson River, she devotes her time to caring for her aging pet
walrus, arranging her voodoo doll-pin
collection and practicing rhythmic chants.
At this moment, she is busy picking up loose wholewheat spaghetti sticks
that spilled out of the cupboard and onto her kitchen floor. Wait. Is that
something…sparkly?</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Blu Tara stared her sister in the face. ‘Let me tell you
what you don't know about love, Gamma. It is a curse. You will scoop out your
core and abandon it just to have the Being that you love. You will steal
another person's life force if it makes it easier to get it. You will abandon
the world you have been cradled in, betray everything and everyone you care
for. You’ll give up your name for it.’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Blu Tara's voice went soft and dreamy. ‘You will gladly
close your eyes and embrace the world of darkness. You will kill or die for it.
And you will hate yourself for the weakness that it brings on you. So don’t
talk to me about love.’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gamma shook her head. ‘You're not making sense,’ Blu Tara.
‘You talk as if... I’m the one who should be upset about all this.’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Blu Tara lifted her hand dismissively. She pointed a hot
finger at Gamma. ‘Anyway don’t forget what we are.’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'And what are we?’ Gamma glared at her..</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
'Different. Strange. Something to be frightened of. Two
Beings that can fuse and burn everything to ashes. That's the way they all see
us down there. That's what the Stardog wants from you - the powers you possess.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
‘I hate them all. With their suspicious, shiny faces and
their empty games. I hate that Voice which drones on and on at us in the
Learning Dome as soon as we've finished resting.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Innoverans! All those perfect, pretty Beings; they remember
nothing — it’s the curse of this shallow, shining world. Tell me, Gamma - what
do you remember of the world we come from before your Odors Apeno dumped us
here?’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gamma swung around to face her sister fully. ‘Blu Tara!
What's got into you? Where’s all that coming from? I've never heard you speak
like that before. This is about Krave and I- not you!’</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Krave and you - don't make me laugh. And, oh! Here’s a big
difference — between you and I this time, Twin Sister. It’s the answer to your
question that you brought me up here to ask.’ Blu Tara mimicked Gamma's soft
and musical voice, Why do you want to kill Krave?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here's the answer, Gamma. I will do whatever I have to do to
save myself. I'm the half of you that's not like you. I don't have a weeping
heart. Now I'm out of here. I need my Rest. </div>

didn't have an ordinary upbringing. Raised in what most would call a
hippy commune, but what is actually a powerful coven of witches, she
never questions the life fate chose for her. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Until she meets Derek O'Conner. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Derek challenges
everything Rose believes and forces her to see the secrets hidden
beneath the whitewashed walls of her idyllic country life. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Rose knows she
should walk away, that the sexy martial arts instructor is bad news bred
to create discord in her tight community… but the animal magnetism
between them is impossible to fight. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Caught between
the passion of first love, and the steady beat of the life she's always
known, Rose must choose between the innocence of her youth or the
pleasures of womanhood—but lost innocence comes at a price, and Rose
harbors a dark secret that could destroy everyone she loves—including
Derek.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>Submit to the Seduced Saga as Derek and Rose face their future while unraveling the mysteries of their past.</b>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Charismatic
and powerful Lyceum Wolves’ Alpha, Tristan Livingston, is out for
revenge after a devastating attack on his pack. Not only did he survive a
building collapse, he orchestrated the rebuild of his chic,
state-of-the-art nightclub within a week. Determined to mete out
justice, he rescues a beautiful witness who may be the key to helping
him find the perpetrators.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Dr.
Kalli Williams, dedicated veterinarian, is hiding a secret that
endangers not only her own life but the lives of wolves across the
country. After being tortured by a savage vampire, she’s reluctantly
agrees to help the sexy Alpha in his quest to identify suspects; ones
who’d kill her on the spot if they knew she existed. As Kalli places
herself in the hands of the dominant wolf, she soon finds she wants
nothing more than to submit.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Tristan,
committed to ruling his pack as a lone wolf, is inexplicably drawn to
the mysterious and enticing woman, who seems more than human, but not
quite supernatural. As he discovers her secret, he teaches her the
meaning of trust, helping her learn how to be true to her nature. After
living a lifetime alone, will he succumb to the visceral need to claim
her, acknowledging the soul binding connection between an Alpha and his
mate? And will he prevail against the menacing enemy who threatens to
destroy Lyceum Wolves?</span></span><br />

<b><i>I loved it. Tristan is very hot and who doesn't like smart along with it. He is a very strong Alpha but he still has an open mind and always acts in the best interest of his pack. </i></b><b><i>I really enjoyed the interaction between him and Logan. Kalli is tough, she's had to be, and getting her to trust him isn't easy. I like that she stands up for herself but isn't so thick headed that she's afraid to ask for help when she needs it. It's a joy to watch her develop from a suspect in the attacks on the pack, to the treasure of Tristan's life.</i></b><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">It hadn't seemed possible
that a president whose policies had impoverished millions could be reelected.
It was the waning years of the American empire and the liberties represented in
the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were a fading memory. The government
monitored every aspect of American life, and the drones buzzing overhead served
as a constant reminder, but it was the governments reckless spending that
brought the nation to its knees. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Now, the economy is in ruin,
and the president's European style welfare state stands at the brink of
collapse. The </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">United States</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> is unable to repay its debts. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">China</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> has come seeking payment in real assets, and they
mean business. Chaos reigns; power has been cut; select cities have been
decimated by nuclear bombs; and burned out houses occupy neighborhoods like
rotting teeth in the mouth of a crack addict. What was new is now old and what
was old is now new again. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Cliffson Lang's son attempts
to escape the fires and mobs overrunning the city of </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">Seattle</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">. When Cliffson is called away to help, his other son
is kidnapped by occupying forces and placed in a work camp. Truth's Blood is
the Lang family's story of survival at a time when government dependency must
be replaced by self-reliance. As the </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">United States</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> experiences the disintegration of society and
foreign occupation, their challenge verges on the impossible.</span></div>

Excerpt:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /><strong>A couple blocks into town Dustin spotted an old greasy spoon
diner tucked in next to a boarded up gas station. The rundown relic
from the past had somehow managed to stay in business long after fast
food became the rage. The parking lot was empty except for an old, lime
green, Volkswagen van. </strong><br />
<strong>
“Hey Dustin, get a load of this, see that bumper sticker?” Chris said. <br />
“Ass, Gas or Grass, no one rides for free.” Dustin read aloud. “My Dad’s told me about those. It’s from the ‘70s.” <br />
“Trippin’ dude. Now let’s go eat.” <br />
Chris led the way up a couple decaying cement steps stained with the
remnants of a reminder they’d once blushed bright red, pulled open a
creaky screen door, and headed for a booth with a red and white
checkered table cloth on the left side of the room. Chipped and worn
tiles paved a floor that was probably once cream colored. The air was
heavy with the smell of fried food and salted with a double measure of
cigarette smoke. A couple of round tables in the middle of the room
were home to napkin dispensers and salt and pepper shakers. Booth
seating along dingy windows on both sides of the room completed the
ensemble. <br />
The kitchen was in back where a balding, pot bellied cook in a dingy
wife-beater undershirt and an apron that looked as if you could have
rung gravy from it, peered out from behind beady eyes. He appeared
nervous and ran his hands through the few greasy strands of dark hair
that fell from the back of his head. Gruffly he called for his
waitress. <br />
“Betty, customers.” <br />
The back door slammed, Betty strolled in and pulled the last drag
from her cigarette. She wore white shoes, the kind you often see nurses
wearing and looked to be about sixty years old, but her face wore a
look that said she’d spent a hundred years on her feet. <br />
</strong><strong>At their table her course smoker’s voice rose up
through the gravel bed in her throat and asked, “What can I get you boys
today?” </strong></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpFirst" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: 14.0pt;">Excerpt:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">Cassionetta Ceobbinn sat in her old Subaru and
rested her forehead against its steering wheel. Her electronic design work had
ground to a halt an hour earlier and a headache pounded behind one eye. The
garage of the Capitol Hill mansion rose around her, silent as a crypt. Her
mother’s Aston Martin sat off to one side, gleaming white against the
semi-darkness. Cassie girded herself to open her car door, grab her things, and
go inside. “It’s my house, goddammit,” she muttered to boost her courage. “So
what if he sent me a text message not to come home.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">The garage lights came on, blinding her. The
door leading into the house crashed against the wall. Before the ringing in her
ears subsided, her live-in boyfriend stomped to her car. Well, the live-in part
was still accurate. The boyfriend part seemed to have evaporated like so much
smoke.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">“You weren’t supposed to come home tonight,” he
growled. “I texted you hours ago. You can just turn that piece of shit you
drive around and go stay at your mother’s office.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">Fury boiled up from her guts. She took aim and
opened the car door hard into his midsection, hoping she could clip a ball for
good measure.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">“Oooph. You little bitch.” He jumped back
rubbing his hip.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;">You bet I
am.</span></i><span style="color: black;"> High heels slapping the concrete
floor, she jumped out of her car and stood eyeball to eyeball with him. “This
is my mother’s house, Tyler MacKenzie. I live here. Or have you forgotten?”
Cassie yanked her shoulder bag and computer case off the passenger side of the
front seat and stormed past him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">He grabbed her arm before she made the steps
leading into the kitchen. “I have people over. It’s the full moon. I’m leading
a séance. Your presence would disturb the energy.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">She twirled to face him, breaking his grip.
“You mean you have mother’s clients over. Where is she, by the way?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">He shrugged. “Don’t know. Haven’t seen her.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">Cassie turned away from him. He closed his hand
over her arm again, hard enough to make her squeal. “If you don’t let me go,”
she snarled through clenched teeth, “I will call the police.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">His fingers loosened marginally. “But,
sweetie…”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">She heard compulsion beneath his words. Cassie
didn’t have any magic of her own, but she recognized it in others. When Tyler
wanted her to fall in love with him, he’d used honeyed words all the time. They’d
only stopped once she let him move in.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">“Can it.” She twisted her head so she could
lock gazes with him. “Let me go. Now.” His hand fell away. “I want you out of
here tomorrow—”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">His eyes narrowed. He shoved long, red-gold
hair out of his face and sneered at her. “Fat fucking chance of that. We’ve had
this conversation one too many times for my liking. I’m here, and I intend to
stay. There’s nothing you can do about it. Unless you want to meet with an
unfortunate accident.” A nasty laugh bubbled past lips she’d actually thought
were full and sensual. “Of course something like that could happen anyway. If I
were you, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">sweetie</i>, I’d watch my
back.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">Cassie shuddered. She swallowed, but her mouth
was dry. Maybe she’d underestimated Tyler. Once they’d stopped getting along,
she’d seen him as an inconvenience, not a menace. He’d never sounded quite like
this before though. There’d been threats, but they’d been subtle, veiled in
double entendre.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">She squared her shoulders and turned to face
him. It was the kiss of death to let bullies know they were getting to you.
“I’m done with your crap.” She infused as much venom as she could into her
voice. “I will call the police. You threatened me.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">He snorted. “I’d just deny it. They’ll believe
we had a lover’s spat. Women are so <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">emotional</i>.”
His blue eyes gleamed with an unnatural light.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">She blinked. For a moment, he looked like a
demon one of her mother’s psychic friends had raised by accident. Cassie knew
enough about them—interdimensional beings that traveled from world to world
wreaking havoc—to scare the shit out of her.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Don’t be
ridiculous.</span></i><span style="color: black;"> Ridiculous, ridiculous echoed
in her head. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I’m seeing things.</i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">Her heartbeat sounded loud in her ears; her
hands fisted at her sides. “You’d better get back to your séance. Wouldn’t want
any of those high rollers to get away.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">Her face twisted into a grimace. Thank Christ
he spun on his heel and trotted smartly back into the house. Tyler cut an
elegant figure with his richly-embroidered gypsy cape, broad shoulders, and
classically handsome Nordic features. Flowing ruby silk pants rode low on his
slim hips. No wonder she’d been taken in by him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">Fuming—and scared half to death—she followed
him into the house, but turned a hard left before she hit the kitchen and took
what had once been the servants’ staircase. It had been stupid to fall for
Tyler, one of the dumbest things she’d ever done, but there was no going back.
She couldn’t unravel time and choose not to tumble into his arms and his bed.
That part was a done deal. If she listened to him, his residency at chéz
Eleanora was a done deal as well.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black;">Shit!</span></i><span style="color: black;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">Worry for her mother filled her, obliterating
her fears for her own safety. Eleanora Ceobbinn was—or had been—a well-known
psychic, but she’d apparently made one too many trips to the far side of the
veil. She was still alive, but she hadn’t spoken a word in nearly a year,
rattling around their old house like a ghost.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">Eleanora had come from money—and made plenty on
her own—so at least that wasn’t a problem, but her mother was definitely
fading. It was almost as if someone—Tyler?—were feeding off what little energy
she had left. Unable to shake her earlier sense of foreboding, Cassie shivered.
If she hadn’t been holding onto her purse and computer bag, she would have
wrapped her arms around herself.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">Maybe because she was thinking about her
mother—and the house had a mind of its own—she wasn’t surprised to find herself
beneath a full-sized oil painting of Eleanora. Lush dark hair ended at knee
level and her haunting violet eyes seemed alive. People had told Cassie she
looked like her mom, but she’d never thought so. Eleanora was beautiful—and
ageless. Cassie had the hair and the eyes and the striking six foot height, but
the effect wasn’t nearly the same.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">She still had no idea what had gone wrong the
day her mother checked out. She’d come home from work to find Eleanora sprawled
face down on the Oriental carpet in the séance room, candles smoking black
gouts of greasy flame. If there’d been clients, they were nowhere to be found.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">Her mother had regained consciousness, but that
had been about all. Cassie had known better than to lug her around to a bunch
of other doctors with their uncomfortable questions and pained silences after
the first one had asked, “Your mother does <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">what</i>
for a living?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-indent: .3in;">
<span style="color: black;">Cassie dragged herself away from the portrait.
When she was a little girl, she’d believed her mother’s painted eyes were the
gateway to a magical world. She’d asked Eleanora and her mother had smiled
shrewdly. “Stranger things have happened, child,” she’d said. “It’s best not to
test this one.”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ann Gimpel
is a mountaineer at heart. Recently retired from a long career as a
psychologist, she remembers many hours at her desk where her body may
have been stuck inside four walls, but her soul was planning yet one
more trip to the backcountry. Around the turn of the last century (that
would be 2000, not 1900!), she managed to finagle moving to the Eastern
Sierra, a mecca for those in love with the mountains. It was during long
backcountry treks that Ann’s writing evolved. Unlike some who see the
backcountry as an excuse to drag friends and relatives along, Ann
prefers her solitude. Stories always ran around in her head on those
journeys, sometimes as a hedge against abject terror when challenging
conditions made her fear for her life, sometimes for company.
Eventually, she returned from a trip and sat down at the computer. Three
months later, a five hundred page novel emerged. Oh, it wasn’t very
good, but it was a beginning. And, she learned a lot between writing
that novel and its sequel.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Around that
time, a friend of hers suggested she try her hand at short stories. It
didn’t take long before that first story found its way into print and
they’ve been accepted pretty regularly since then. One of Ann’s passions
has always been ecology, so her tales often have a green twist.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="margin-bottom: 10.0pt; mso-add-space: auto;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">In addition
to writing, Ann enjoys wilderness photography. She lugs pounds of camera
equipment in her backpack to distant locales every year. A standing
joke is that over ten percent of her pack weight is camera gear which
means someone else has to carry the food! That someone is her husband.
They’ve shared a life together for a very long time. Children,
grandchildren and three wolf hybrids round out their family.</span><br />

living beings have experience of pleasure and pain, and we are among
them. What makes human beings different is that we have a powerful
intelligence and a much greater ability to achieve happiness and avoid
suffering. Real happiness and friendship come not from money or even
knowledge, but from warm-heartedness. Once we recognise this we will be
more inclined to cultivate it.</span></div>

Romantic vs. Erotic Sex</h1>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
I’ve
mentioned before that I grew up reading romance novels. When I was younger, it
was Harlequin and other serial type of lines. As I matured, my reading material
matured as well—I started reading authors such as Jane Feather, Bertrice Small,
Virginia Henley. Eventually, I found authors such as Emma Holly and Karen
Tabke.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
I
think I can safely say this progression in my reading materials is how I
discovered the different kinds of sex.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
I’m
not saying “different kinds” as in heterosexual vs. homosexual, vanilla vs.
kinky and so on and so forth. I mean romantic sex as opposed to erotic sex. And
yes—there is a difference.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
A lot
of that difference comes from language. Romantic sex tends to rely on euphemisms—<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">manhood, quivering flesh, wet heat</i>.
There’s a conscious effort to hide the more graphic details of the basic act of
sex, as if the people reading the words are going to be shocked and appalled.
And while you may find it silly that someone would be appalled by the language
of sex, it’s not too far-flung a thought. Throughout history, language has been
something that has torn people and countries apart as often as it drew them
together.<a href="http://www.blogger.com/null" name="_GoBack"></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
I
remember the first time I read the word <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cunt</i>
in a book. I don’t think I dropped it in surprise but I’m pretty sure I did
stare at it in shock. Like most people, I’d been taught that “the c-word” was
not one used in polite conversation. It definitely wasn’t used in proper books.
And yet—there it was. Just sitting on the page, mocking me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
And
you know what? It was probably one of the hottest sex scenes I’d read—at least
at that point In my life.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Since
that, I’ve read plenty of other works with words that aren’t supposed to be
used in polite conversation—<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">pussy, cock,
dick</i>… I trust you’re getting the point. There’s an honesty in those words
that somehow ramps up the heat factor. At least for me.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
I
don’t want you to think I’m advocating one type of book over the other. I’m
not, not by any means. As much as I love reading erotic sex, I find it
difficult to write. Even the most graphic of my works, TAKEN: A FRANKIE POST
NOVEL, still falls back on the occasional euphemism. Some of that is simply
keeping in line with character voice. Some of that is the simple fact I’m too
embarrassed to write it. Blame it on my sheltered upbringing or my own
religious background but there’s the simple truth.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
As
long as you’re enjoying yourself, there is no wrong kind of sex.</div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in;">
Even
if it makes you blush.</div>

and powerful Lyceum Wolves’ Alpha, Tristan Livingston, is out for
revenge after a devastating attack on his pack. Not only did he survive a

herself in the hands of the dominant wolf, she soon finds she wants
nothing more than to submit.</span></span></div>

The Trimarks are planning an invasion. And the only thing
standing in their way is Allie and the moonstone . All Allie wants is a normal
life - friends, boys, school dances. Right. Like that's going to happen.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In two weeks, during the summer solstice, Allie's going to
face the biggest challenge of her life, fighting against time to save the world
from a Trimark invasion. You'd think the world of weird might leave her alone
to plan how she's going to survive. But nothing in Allie's world is simple or
easy, especially when she's attacked by Trimarks trying to steal the moonstone.
Then Sammie disappears into the faery world of Boundless, and Allie must follow
and bring her home, only to find the fairy queen, Luminata, isn't about to let
Allie leave. So, what's a girl with magical powers supposed to do?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fortunately, she has a team to help her, a team with special
talents of their own.<br />

<i><b>I had a lot of fun reading this book. The only problem is I liked it so much that I have to go back and read all of them now. :) The characters are real and have real life things to do and real life problems to deal with, along with saving the world. As if a girl didn't have enough to do in one day. I also really liked the humor and exchanges between them. Silly things happen in life and they do in this book too. </b></i><i><b>This is the last book in the series and I will be reading all of them. </b></i><br />
<i><b>5 stars for me </b></i></div>

</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-language: EN-US;">Sammie and I climbed
out of the car. I looked back and forth between Teagan and Ryker. Which faery
should I talk to first? It was such a strange thought I almost laughed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-language: EN-US;">Sammie had no such
problem. She headed straight for Ryker. I trailed behind. We edged around the
Escalade. The tinted windows were shut tight. The motor was running. I heard
the air conditioning running. Geez, if whoever was inside was fae, it seemed
like he/she/it could figure out a way to stay cool using magic instead of
gasoline. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-language: EN-US;">As we passed by,
Teagan saluted and flashed his jagged, toothy grin. “Little miss and wee faery.
Brian Cassidy requests the pleasure of your company.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-language: EN-US;">Sammie said, “Tell him
to take a number,” and walked right past him.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-language: EN-US;">I paused. “Who’s Brian
Cassidy?” </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-language: EN-US;">Teagan scowled. “Your
uncle, that’s who, older brother to your grandfather, Kyle Cassidy. He needs to
speak to you about an important matter.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-language: EN-US;">“Older brother to my
grandfather?” I repeated. “Wow, he must be at least a hundred years old.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-language: EN-US;">Teagan smirked, “You
are mistaken by several hundred years, but no matter.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>“We’ll be back in a minute,” I said, hurrying
after Sammie. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-language: EN-US;">Maybe it wasn’t such a
dilemma after all. Think about it. The choice was between my decrepit faery
uncle with an agenda, and a hot-looking faery dude, also with an agenda. The
only problem was, they were probably at odds with each other and I was the
common denominator. I reminded myself to proceed with caution. Faeries were
tricky. They promised you the moon and stars, but it could cost you an arm and
a leg. Really. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-language: EN-US;">Ryker tucked the hawk
feather behind one ear and sprang to his feet. His pale blue gaze swept over
Sammie and then lingered on me. He reached out a hand. “Princess Avalon. It’s
been too long. Boundless is not the same without you.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-bidi-language: EN-US;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In Boundless, I’m called Princess Avalon. It’s
something to do with the moonstone, the prophecy and the magical Isle of
Avalon. Avalon means apple and I live smack dab in the middle of an apple
orchard. It all makes sense in a weird, convoluted way.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Vampire prince, Severian
Pearce, fears the revelation of the immortal clans to humankind should King
Henry fall from power. While in pursuit of Henry’s enemies, Severian comes to
the aid of Meridian Neville, a human woman he craves—and not for the scent of
her blood … Meridian is torn between honoring her father’s dying wish and
her unexplainable yearning for Lord Severian. But as Severian and Meridian work together to protect a relic hunted by mortals and immortals alike,
the red veil descends over them. This all-consuming attraction can drive
immortals to the brink of madness. Will the existence of this powerful bond
between a human and a vampire be enough to unite the immortal clans or is the
red veil a scourge set on destroying any chance they might have of happiness?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1990, Cardiff, Wales. Vampire
prince, Sebastian Pearce, has waited six-hundred years for the right human
mate. His own beloved mother was a mortal capable of carrying immortal
offspring. While vampires no longer require live donors for sustenance, Mother
Nature has played a cruel trick on them making breeders a rare commodity. As
numbers in Sebastian’s Imperial House continue to dwindle, his virgin bride
eludes him. That is, until he happens upon a young woman searching for
information about a sacred vampire text, the Book of Descent. Sebastian’s
desire for her is more potent than anything he’s felt for another woman, but
Everleigh Marbut isn’t innocent. She’s an American with a mind of her own, and
worst of all, she’s already carrying an immortal being. As Sebastian and
Everleigh fight their attraction to each other, they don’t realize they’re
being lured into a battle pitting medieval myth against the power of modern
science to recreate life until it’s too late. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: Arial;">Book Description: </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Half-demon Taeg is desperate
to free his pregnant sister-in-law, who is spellbound to an indestructible book
that will create an army of the undead. He is convinced that an ancient sword
can destroy the book and the spell forever, but this relic has been hidden for
a millennia by a powerful glamour. The clock begins to run out on his search
when an old rival goes after the book and Taeg’s family in his quest for
revenge.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Librarian Maya Flores has a
secret: she’s immune to magic and is well aware of the supernatural beings
prowling the streets of </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">New York City</span><span style="font-family: Arial;">. Haunted by a brutal demon attack that took her family, she is on a
one-woman mission to destroy the evil demons who did it—and any others who get
in her way.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Maya is Taeg’s best hope for
uncovering the sword. Unfortunately, she wants nothing more than to kill him.
As he fights for her trust and to save his family, she is forced to face the
truth that not all demons are evil. And the worst part? She might be falling in
love with one, too.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><i><b>Mark of the Sylph is the second in the Demons OF Inrernum series, but works really well as a stand alone book. I loved the strong characters and the sarcastic humor. Maya isn't the typical heroin sitting around waiting to be rescued. In fact she's a totally kick ass, angry woman and she isn't afraid to let everyone around her know it. Taeg is just plain hot. Having a deep sense of honor and a whole lot of sass, you can't help but love him. I can't wait for the next installment. </b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"><i><b>A 5 star read all the way </b></i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"><i><b> </b></i></span><b>Rosalie
Lario</b> is the award-winning, paranormal romance author of the Demons of
Infernum and the Fallen Warriors series. Rosalie double majored in
Anthropology and Classics as an undergraduate student, and briefly
considered becoming an archaeologist before realizing they don't
actually live the life of Indiana Jones. So what was a classical geek
armed with a lot of useless knowledge to do? Become a lawyer, of course!<br />
<div class="artistCentralBio_biographyBody" id="artistCentralBio_officialFullBioContent">
After
attending law school in Florida, she practiced real estate law for
several years before finally admitting to herself that negotiating
contracts wasn't nearly as fun as dreaming up stories. She never
imagined all the mythology she'd learned throughout her undergraduate
education might actually come in handy, but it makes perfect fodder for
the paranormal romance stories she now dreams up.<br />
When not
writing, she enjoys spending time with her husband and two young
children in their home state of Florida.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Amaranta Costa uses her
Kanima as an avoidance tactic, until the one person she cherishes most is taken
from her. When Gavin Ford enters the fray uninvited, she’s forced to accept the
help of his pack to find her mate.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Trusting others isn’t her
forte. Though her inner jaguar accepts him hands down, the woman in her fights
his dominating, take-control nature. Unlike Marisol’s soft personality, Gavin’s
wolf challenges her at every turn. She can find no escape. His abrasiveness both
sets her on edge and pleases her. She finds being in Marisol’s arms isn’t
enough; the all-consuming need to be his burns to her core. There’s no denying
the chemical attraction arcing among the three of them.</span></div>

<br />
<strong><i>I found this story gripping right from the start. I totally identified with </i></strong><strong><i>Amara. Trusting isn't easy and excepting that you don't have to be in control all the time is harder. Facing the part of you that wants to give up control is the hardest yet. A great story, with really hot sex. I can't wait to read more. I would love to see another with these characters. </i></strong><br />
<strong><i>5 Stars for me. </i> </strong><br />
<br />
<strong>Excerpt</strong><br />
The raucous wails intensified and the crunch of tires entering her
private drive grew louder. Amara pressed on, breaking through the
foliage into her large back yard to see uniformed officers walking the
perimeter of her house.<br />
“Excuse me?” Amara padded across her back yard, aware of her nudity
and one enforcement officer leering at her. The other looked
uncomfortable. <b><i>Humans. Why do they find nudity unacceptable, since
everyone born into the world came without clothes? How she hated the
restricting fibers and longed to live in nothing but her skin. Maybe a
blanket for times when the cold bit into her, chilling her to the bone.</i></b><br />
“Ma’am, your alarm system activated. We called and no one answered. Are you harmed?”<br />
“No, not at all.” She crossed her arms under her breasts. Their eyes
roved over her and the one speaking seemed to lose his voice. They
appeared confused as to why she paraded around like she did.<br />
“Sir, the house is clear.”<br />
“I’m sure it was just a false alarm.” Amara whipped her head to the
left, addressing the female officer entering through her veranda doors.<br />
“Are you certain? We found your front door wide open when we pulled
up the drive. The perpetrator may still be in the area. Ma’am, would you
mind putting on some clothes?”<br />
Of course there wasn’t an intruder in the house; she’d feel the
presence. She weighed the probability of Mari forgetting to lock up
behind herself. No other lingering scents clung in the air. No dark
aura. Seething in anger at her girlfriend’s lack of awareness, she
stalked to her door, leaving the officers to follow her indoors. “I do
mind dressing on my own property. I like being naked—”<br />
“Still, ma’am…talking to you’d be a lot easier if you wore clothing.”<br />
“For fuck’s sake.” Amara glared at the unwanted guests.<br />
“She’ll put on some clothes if I have to drag her to her room myself
and dress her.” Gavin’s authoritative voice entered into the standoff.<br />
“I will not. This is my place. If they don’t like my appearance they
can leave.” Amara whipped around and stared down Gavin’s steel wall of
unwanted authority. “What are you doing here?” She’d never seen the man
anywhere but at The Delightful Kitty. In his cargo pants and T-shirt, he
looked damn good standing in her house.<br />
“Heard the call on my scanner. Wanted to check on you and Mari. Go put on some clothes, babe. I’ll keep the five-oh company.”<br />
Amara opened her mouth to speak and switched outlets.<br />
<b><i>How do you know where I live?</i></b><br />
<b>
</b><b><i>Drake told me. Now go put on some clothes. Though I don’t mind staring at you, not one bit.</i></b><br />

great sense of humor comes easily for Mahalia Levey. An avid reader of books,
she found herself enchanted with disappearing completely into the worlds
authors created. One day she vowed to herself she'd be one of them. Then family
life came, and college right after. Swayed from her childhood course of action,
it took many years for her to get back to that place she held dear as a child.
Now she is running full steam ahead to keep up with the many ideas flowing
freely. She plans on taking her work to higher levels and expanding her genres.
Her main focus is giving her readers variety. Her works in progress include
paranormal, fantasy and mainstream romance. Taking characters and watching them
grow past what she’s imagined is her true passion.</span></div>
