He shoved his hands inside his jeans. âSince Iâm here, and your mom promised me a pie, I should get to work.â
I ran my fingers through my hair, moving it away from my face. âYou donât have to stay, Nate. I mean, I appreciate you wanting to help my mom.â
He ignored me. âLetâs start with the box youâre holding.â He came toward me.
If I had handed it to him, everything would have been just fine. Instead, I backed away, tripped over a box full of books, and stumbled backward on top of my bed. The box in my hand went flying onto the floor.
Being a gentleman, Nate reached down to help me clean up the mess. Instead of putting things back into the box, he sifted through them.
âYou still have these?â he asked, holding up a photo of us at a Valentineâs dinner. After he placed it down, he picked up a smaller box and opened it. It held the crystal bracelet he had given to me the last Christmas we spent together. It had been a while since Iâd worn it. Iâd thought about wearing it again, but not in front of him just yet.
I got off the bed reluctantly, wishing I could hide under the covers instead. Scattered about the carpet were more photos of us and some cards he had given me for my birthday, Christmas, and Valentineâs Day. Nate always got me a card. He was sentimental that way.
He slowly peered upward at me with an expression I didnât understand. Was he mad? Then, with a hint of a smile, he quickly placed everything inside the box, closed the lid, and handed it to me. After I took it from his hand, he stood up, facing me.
âI never threw anything you gave me away,â I said, looking down at the box. In the silence that followed, I wondered what he thought.
He heaved a long sigh. âYou kept everything but me.â His words came out soft but harsh, and they were loud as thunder in my mind.
Hurt swam in his eyes. What do I say after that? He was so right. Before I had the chance to speak, he turned and walked out of my room, shattering my heart into pieces. I wanted to cry. I was reliving that night again, the very night I wanted to redo.

After years of struggling to maintain the pace her publisher, agent and the world expects, she needs a break. Enrolling as a student at Columbia University is step one to finding herself again.

Arsen Daniel, along with his best friend, built an empire in the form of an exclusive, psychology-based dating service. When an old friend invites him to teach a course at Columbia, he accepts. The course? The Psychology of Love. Sounds simple enough and the publicity alone will make it worth his time.
Arsen didnât expect to meet his match in the form of a sarcastic blonde, hell bent on holding to her belief that true love doesnât actually exist. After all, what woman, especially a world-renowned romance writer, doesnât believe in happily ever after?
Something in Alexandriaâs eyes tortures him. She reminds him of someone from his past and that is a very bad thing.

âDo you want to grab a seat for a few minutes?â he asked.
I looked around and the place was mostly deserted. âSure.â We settled in two comfortable padded chairs. âFor the record, I donât want to do any of the things Jillian has planned.â
He smiled. âHow else do you plan to prove your point?â
âMy point will be easily proven. Love doesnât exist.â I stared at his lips. The bottom was slightly plumper than the top. His blue dress shirt was rolled to the elbows. And his forearms were toned. Damn it. Why should men have forearms like that? Why? They flexed when he raised his cup to his lips, and then flexed again when he sat it back onto the table.
âWhy would any woman want that to be true?â he challenged, one brow arching up.
âI donât want it to be true, it just is.â
His eyes narrowed and he crossed his arms over his chest. âHow do you know? Forget the assignment, forget proving a hypothesis and this damn paper. How do you know? Why do you think that?â
I swallowed. âBecause if Iâve ever felt it, I donât remember it.â His brows furrowed and he parted his lips to say something, but never did. What could anyone say to that?

Despite his grim exterior, he makes her feel safe, something she desperately needs in the real world as she fights off the advances of a man who will not take no for an answer. But Trenzent isn't the only Kadothian warrior who believes Paige is his bondmate. An old political enemy of Tren's, Rell Thantos, also believes the sweet and shy young Earth woman holds the missing part of his soul. He will do whatever it takes to win her heart, even if it means becoming bloodbrothers with a man he hates. The men will have to find a way to get past their anger and work together to protect Paige against an unknown enemy who is determined to keep the women of Earth out of the Bel’Tan Galaxy forever. Warning- This story is set in the Bel'Tan galaxy where polyamorous relationships are the norm and love in all of its forms is accepted including M/M, M/M/F, M/M/M/F sexual situations.

About Ann Mayburn
With over forty published books, Ann is Queen of the Castle to her husband and three sons in the mountains of West Virginia. In her past lives she's been an Import Broker, a Communications Specialist, a US Navy Civilian Contractor, a Bartender/Waitress, and an actor at the Michigan Renaissance Festival. She also spent a summer touring with the Grateful Dead-though she will deny to her children that it ever happened. From a young Ann has had a love affair with books would read everything she could get her hands on. As Ann grew older, and her hormones kicked in, she discovered bodice ripping Fabio-esque romance novels. They were great at first, but she soon grew tired of the endless stories with a big wonderful emotional buildup to really short and crappy sex. Never a big fan of purple prose, throbbing spears of fleshy pleasure and wet honey pots make her giggle, she sought out books that gave the sex scenes in the story just as much detail and plot as everything else-without using cringe worthy euphemisms. This led her to the wonderful world of Erotic Romance, and she's never looked back. Now Ann spends her days trying to tune out cartoons playing in the background to get into her 'sexy space' and has accepted that her Muse has a severe case of ADD. Ann loves to talk with her fans, as long as they realize she's weird, and that sarcasm doesn't translate well via text.

Sebastian hated this part; walking into the ICU from the waiting room. The beeps, bells, and whirring of the machinery, which kept the occupants of the ICU alive, upset him. They were alien noises that grated against his nerves.
He did his best to not let the sounds get to him, but as he went to his motherâs room, he felt his skin prickle with that well-ingrained fear of hospitals. The result of a precocious childhood.
When he reached his motherâs doorway, he spotted the pretty nurse, the one who insisted on being called Sam and not Samantha. His eyes drifted from the nurse to his mother in the bed. Her color was better, but she was still hooked up to the ventilator. Shit!
Falling at her home, she had hit her head and been knocked unconscious. The surgery to relieve the bleeding in her skull had been successfulâor so the doctor insistedâbut she was still not awake.
âSheâs doing better today, Mr. Reinhardt,â the attractive brunette nurse with the long ponytail said to him.
How many times had he told her that his last name was Dane, not Reinhardt? Still, she called him by his stepfatherâs name. His palms itched to correct her, but he refrained.
âHas she woken up at all?â
âYes, she opens her eyes now and then, which is a very good sign. We should have her off that breathing tube in a day or two.â
He followed the nurseâs perfect profile. Sebastian thought her almost doll-like. Even down to her porcelain skin and petite, almost little girl figure, everything about her reminded him of a doll.
âThank you, Sam. Youâve been so encouraging these past few days. I thought for a while she wouldnât make it.â
âI told you she would make it.â Sam stretched her pouty lips into an attractive smile. âI have a sense about these things.â As if hearing something in the outer hallway, she raised her uncanny eyes to the door. âIâll be back.â
She was gone before he could ask any more questions. Sam always did that.
It was as if she looked through him, and not at him, whenever he came to visit his mother. What he wouldnât give to have her see him, to have the little nurse with those amazing eyes see him for what he really was. Ah, but that was for another time and place.
He walked closer to the bed and held his motherâs hand. Still warm and soft the way he remembered it as a child. With the ugly purple bruise on the right side of her face and the thick white bandage on her head, she didnât resemble the mother he had known. Gone were her fancy rings, diamond bracelets, and designer clothes. The blue hospital gown made her look paler than usual, and without her always fastidiously applied makeup, she appeared older, much older than her sixty-five years.
âIâm here, Mother. Youâre doing better. Much better.â
He felt the slightest pressure on his hand, as if she had heard him.
âThatâs it, squeeze my hand. Let me know you can hear me.â
This time, her grasp was stronger and more deliberate.
His heart soared with relief. It was a small step, but it was progress.
âLooks like sheâs coming out of it,â Sam surmised, entering the room. She pulled a penlight from her white jacket pocket and flashed the light in his motherâs eyes.
His mother frowned.
âDid you see that?â he demanded. âShe frowned when you shined the light in her eyes.â
Sam shrugged her shoulders, not seeming very impressed. âLike I said, Mr. Reinhardt, sheâs waking up.â
Her dismissive tone made that certain itch come alive in Sebastian. The one he always got when he discovered a new ⦠project.
Sam went back to her table outside the room door and made some notes on his motherâs chart.
Giving his mother a kiss on the cheek, Sebastian whispered, âIâll be back tomorrow.â Exiting the room, he stopped by Samâs table. âThank you for taking such good care of her.â
Sam never looked up from her notes. âIâm glad sheâs doing better.â
âWill you be here tomorrow?â
Sam shook her head and became distracted by a patient in the room next door to his motherâs. âIâm off for a few days, Mr. Reinhardt. Iâm sure your mother will be gone by the time I get back.â
He never got to ask her anything else. She ducked into the other patientâs room and went to the monitor above the bed.
Sebastian grinned. He would see the pretty little Sam Woods again. He wasnât going to let this one get away.

Becca
Meggie and I almost started crying during the pre-game shot, toast. Her parents decided to pull her out of summer classes. This is her last weekend before she has to return home. I donât know what Iâm going to do without her. She almost said the exact same thing during her toast, but we quickly chased it down with some humor. I mean, after all, weâll be apart for barely two months.
When you spend every single day together, two months feels like an eternity. Tonight is going to be a good night. Just my best friend and me â we promised each other a girlâs night. For the first time in my life, I was totally lying.
There are a ton of bars on The Ave. We could have gone to any number of them, and probably should have⦠but truthfully, I wanted him to see me. Meggie and I saunter up to the bouncer on the patio stairs in our heels and he automatically waves us in. After sharing a glance, we giggle before walking into the flap of the tented patio. The white material billows up into two points above the patio and the light filters through, casting an eerie ambiance. My eyes scan the crowd.
Meggie catches my eye. âI donât see him, Bee.â
I look away. âI donât know who youâre talking about.â
She smiles. âYou know exactly who I am talk about.â She guides me across the patio to the outside bar, conveniently squeezing in between a pair of guys, and places our drink order.
âOh, excuse me, boys.â Meggie is the queen of striking up conversation. The bartender places the drinks on the bar top and I happen to notice one of the guys reaching for his wallet.
âLet me get those for you, doll,â he offers.
âOh, I couldnât possiblyâ¦â Meggie starts and I roll my eyes. She definitely could possibly, and he is totally being played.
They exchange a few words before she passes me one of the drinks. She waves to them as we walk away arm in arm.
âI donât know how you do it.â I giggle in her ear.
âMen are suckers.â She wiggles her fingers at a bouncer in the doorway to the back entrance of the club and we slip inside. âItâs almost like they deserve it. You see, Becca, you can let them play youâOr you can play them first.â
âThatâs no way to be, Meggie.â
âThatâs the only way to be.â She lifts her drink to her lips and swallows a gulp.
My head nods before glancing around, just one more time. John is stationed in his usual spot against the far wall, overlooking the dance floor. His stern glare surveys the area as groups of girls gravitate to the dance floor in front of him. He has a vibe about him that begs to be enjoyed. Tonight, I want to give in. I crave spontaneity and adventure the way a college girl should. But most of all, I want to be that way with him.

“Ok, Yazy, take off that jacket and walk into the shower stall. The water should be nice and warm. You’ll love it!”
Samyaza raises his eyebrows, looking at the water spraying from the shower head. He looks at the steam swirling around. “Ah…yeah.” He shrugs his shoulders and the jacket falls off his shoulders and slides down his wounds. He winces and closes his eyes. He takes in a sharp breath. “What’s wrong?” Crystal quickly steps around him to look at his back. She gasps, outraged, and her color drains from her face. “Omg! What did they do to you! Your flesh is totally shredded. How in the world have you been able to tolerate the pain?” Samyaza clenches his jaw and turns around to look at her. He narrows his eyes and nods. “Sweet Crystal, I’ll be much better as soon as I eat a meal. I would heal quicker if I have more blood.” He watches her closely, watching her pale complexion. “Yazy, are you serious! Look at your back!” She points to the mirror, frowning, and turns him around. Samyaza turns around and looks into the large bathroom mirror. He frowns, and nods. He closes his eyes. Yes, that’s what flogging does to you but I’ll be ok. I understand why she’s so upset. I need to convince her that I’m going to be ok. He opens his eyes and gazes into her eyes. He raises both hands and rests them on her trembling shoulders. “Sweet Crystal, please believe in what I’m going to tell you. Remember that I’m an angel. Well, a fallen angel, and most important immortal. That means that I usually regenerate but I was without sustenance for such a long time that my energy is depleted. I need nourishment or blood to boost my energy. My body will regenerate soon as I have the power that I need.” He looks deeply into her beautiful hazel eyes, reaching her soul. She blinks rapidly and her tears fall down her face. She shakes her head, trying to understand what he told her. “Yazy, I don’t understand how someone could hurt you so. It’s too painful to see. I hurt for you.” Her tears continue to fall down her face and he pulls her into his arms. “My sweet Crystal, please don’t shed your tears for me. I don’t deserve your tears. I promise you that I’m going to be ok.” She buries her face into his sculpted chest. She rests her hands on his waist, sobbing. A few seconds later she pulls back to look up at him and blinks rapidly. “Yazy, take more of my blood. I don’t mind. Please.” Samyaza raises his black eyebrow and his violet eyes glow. “Sweetness, are you sure? I don’t want to hurt or scare you.”

REVIEW BY APRIL EPLEY
This is a book that is definitely for the 18+ audience. It is filled with sexy naughtiness, fallen angels, demons, hell and much more. This is not for the folks that want the sexy scenes glossed over. PT Macias goes into great detail in this story. This is the story of Samyaza and the chaos of hell he has endured. Read through his journey as he tries to escape his bonds and find his soulmate. Evil is threatening the life of everyone and it is up to the Watchers to save them. Will they be able to accomplish their tasks? Will the Watchers be able to survive the punishments they have endured? PT Macias takes you on the journey in unique fashion. Make sure you have some free time so you are not disturbed once you start. I am giving this book a Hot 4 stars! Thank you PT Macias for your story.

Wind rattled the wooden shutter on the open window, banging it against the home. An annoying sound, and no one came to close it. Why? The bang echoed through the silent forest. Where were the owls, or even a wolf? Uneasiness filled each of my steps as we slowly walked to the door. I expected an arrow to come flying my way. Two strangers knocking on the door of a secluded cabin in the middle of the night ⦠how could we not get an arrow in the face?
Raven stayed behind me, her hands resting on the hilts of her daggers. My palms sweat and my mouth went dry. I wanted my sword in my hands, but if I approached while holding a weapon, they might attack. Holding my breath, I knocked on the door, and it swayed open beneath my touch. A stringent odor wafted out from the cabin and I covered my nose.

EXCERPT
Isabelle sighed. No wingman or cavalry coming to his aid. He needed help but it wasn’t forthcoming. This was not going to resolve in the next thirty seconds and that was all she was willing to wait. Besides, she couldn’t leave a person alone to face odds like these. She’d been on her own in these situations plenty of times and it’d never been fun. “Gentlemen, get out of my way.” Humor and interest sparked in the Asian man’s eyes. He understood English, apparently. Seattle being a major city for travelers, it was always good to note rather than assume a listener could understand the conversation. Especially if she might have to advise him to take action. The hulking goon who’d originally spoken to her turned then. “What did you say?” Maybe the English language, or conversation in general, wasn’t goon number one’s strong point. “Get. Out. Of. My. Way.” She put some steel into her voice this time. No need to increase volume when intensity works better. Beady eyes narrowed at her as goon number one flexed his thick fingers into a meaty fist and released them. Threat clear. Ah, well. Intonation could work on people with more neurons firing inside their heads. She might not have a whole lot of stature going on at five foot four, but her new friend should’ve at least spared a moment to ponder that maybe a woman in a black suit with white dress shirt and an earbud hanging over her collar from a wire might mean something. He was a thug dressed in a monkey suit. She was a much higher pay grade.

Something in Alexandriaâs eyes tortures him. She reminds him of someone from his past and that is a very bad thing.

âI canât hit on my professor! Wait â do I call him my professor? Is that what he is?â And how hot was hot? There were various levels: warm, steamy, uber, and lava.
âIâd let him call me anything he wanted. Itâs kind of kinky. Call him âprofessorâ and see if he likes it.â
âAva!â
She giggled and leaned her head onto the rest. âSpank me, professor!â she moaned loudly. She was completely entitled to the slap I gave her arm. âOuch! Damn it, Lexie!â
âYou asked for a spanking.â
A middle-aged man with peppered hair and a beer belly shifted in his seat across the aisle. âYou can spank me if you want.â
âNegatory on that,â I replied, looking to Ava for help. She pursed her lips to contain the laughter dancing in her eyes. Benedict Arnold. I needed a new wing woman.

The cylinder, a device that travels through time and space, opens a portal and leads Jade and her new sexy friend to a prison colony on his home planet of Adair, where spankings are a regular occurrence and age regression is a requirement for jailed women to rehabilitate within the system.

Meeting the elusive and handsome Charles Hayward proves troubling as she learns that she’d stolen from him and will be expected to pay him back her debt. Charles runs a strict household and expects constant obedience. Discovering true submission and his desire to discipline, Delia finds her bottom bared far more than she’d like.

It’s that time of year again. Alyssa Blakely is busy writing in her fantasy diary, filling it with all her forbidden, sexual fantasies. The star: her very sexy boss, Devin Jordan. Too bad for her, he’s never given her a second glance. Or so she thought… After a steamy kiss under the mistletoe and a night of wild sex, Alyssa has the bite to prove just how wrong she was. Devin Jordan has found his mate. The only problem: she’s human. He’s not. Can he prove to her that his inner beast can be both naughty and nice? Or will her fear of the unknown and a threat neither of them saw coming keep him from claiming her?

Alyssa was off limits. Even if she were single and interested in him, he still couldn’t have her. It was too risky. She made him feel things he wasn’t used to. He didn’t know if he could handle touching her without hurting her. Hurting Alyssa was something he would never do. He would just have to endure her presence. He would take pleasure in the shy smiles she cast his way every now and again. He would enjoy the laughs they shared while working late some evenings. He would maintain the professional relationship they had, even though he yearned for a taste of her. Devin turned and placed his back against the window. He stared at the door that separated him from the woman he desired. A piece of metal and space was all that separated his body from hers. It would only take a couple of strides for him to reach the door. One pull on the door knob and he could send it flying across the room. Then he would be face to face with the one woman in this world that made him wish he wasn’t a beast with a conscience. If he had no conscience, he would take her, now, against his desk, against her desk, against the wall, on every damn hard surface in this building. He would make sure she enjoyed it. He would make sure he pleased her so thoroughly that she wouldn’t even think of leaving him, even when she found out that he was not the man he pretended to be. Devin sighed, but that would never happen. Because though he was a beast, he did indeed have a conscience That conscience kept her safe from him… for now. 2: She sat down and stared into her plate, refusing to look anywhere else. She needed to wrap her mind around what was happening. Devin Jordan had just licked her down there. Wow! Not once since she’d been working for him had she thought he would ever behave like this… with her. She was thankful when Devin got up with his plate. She hoped he would empty it then head into the living room to start on the Christmas tree. She was surprised when he sat down in the chair right next to her, and continued eating his breakfast. Alyssa was too nervous to eat. She picked over her food with her fork. “Is me sitting by you a problem?” He asked between bites. “Of course not, why would it be?” “You’re not eating. Would you like for me to feed you?” “Um, I’m not very hungry.” Alyssa bit into a piece of bacon and forced herself to swallow. “You taste better than this food does,” he told her. Alyssa coughed, nearly choking on the bacon she’d forced herself to eat. Devin patted her on the back. How embarrassing. “Open your mouth,” Devin said. AUTHOR BIO Hi, my name is Siren Allen. I’m a writer and lover of all things erotic and romantic. I reside in southern Mississippi where I write steamy romances that are guaranteed to make you blush. When I’m not listening to the characters in my head and jotting down their adventures, I am busy working as a Clinical Laboratory Technician. I love to travel, preferably with my husband, so he can do all of the driving. I enjoy time with my family, who are just as silly as I am. I have no children… yet, wish me luck! My hobbies are reading, writing and shopping, though I hate trying on clothing. If I wasn’t a writer or a Laboratory Professional, I would probably be a Secret Agent. But that’s the beauty of being a writer, you can create your own world and be whoever you want to be. In my imaginary world, I am Queen and my siblings are my minions. I write books for all paranormal romance lovers. It doesn’t matter if you’re white, black, brown, male, female or a zombie…. yes I do have a friend that’s a zombie. Bottom line is, my characters reflect everyday people and everyday people love reading about love. Throw in some awesome sex and you have the perfect recipe. Enjoy!

Is it better to be safe or loved?
Title: Can’t Forget Series: Solum Series #2 Author: Colleen S. Myers Publisher: Champagne Books Genre: Sci-Fi/Fantasy Romance Release Date: June 6, 2016 Blurb: Is it better to be safe or loved? Four months have passed since the E’mani destroyed the Earth and scooped up the remains. Elizabeth “Beta” Camden was one of those taken. With the help of their enemies, the Fost, she escapes and confronts her prior captors successfully. Though she knows she should remain vigilant toward the E’mani, she follows her heart instead and falls in love with Marin, the sexy Fost warrior. She should have trusted her first instinct. This time the E’mani don’t come in force--they slip in silently. And any hope Beta had of a peaceful life is lost. She leaves in the dead of night to find the E’mani stronghold and end them once and for all. But love is a tricky bitch. It takes a threat to Marin’s safety to make Beta realize, if she can’t forget her past, she won’t have a future. About Colleen S. Myers: Colleen S.

I stumbled forward from the force of the blow. The flakes created a halo of white powder around my head in the cool, crisp air then settled all over my face and neck. What the…oh no he didn’t. A growl rose in my throat. I turned to confront my foe. I creased my eyebrows and I glared at him, mean-like. With a smug expression on his face, Marin stared back, tossing another snowball between his hands. “Elizabeth, you appeared distracted. I wanted to help.” His voice was smooth, deep like aged rum, and echoed in the unique way of his people, the Fost, almost like he was being dubbed. The sound got me every time causing me to shiver, or maybe it was the snow dripping down my back. “That was helping?” My ass. “Yes, you were about to walk into a tree,” he said dryly, dropping his ammunition. I whipped around. Sure enough, a tree loomed in front of me. Dark-gray bark, feathery fronds interspersed with lethal spikes, blue moss climbing its trunk. Yep, that was a tree. Well for here anyway, not like on Earth. I glanced back at Marin, who stood so trustingly under the boughs of another nearby tree laden with snow. A smile tugged at the corner of my mouth. See, I could help too. He looked hot, literally and figuratively. “Okay, thanks.” With a thought, my power twisted deep inside, and I sent out a burst of air through the branches. They shuddered in response and unloaded their cold, wet contents on Marin’s head with nary a sound.

It’s simple—steal the magic, don’t get killed. FireSouls like her are perfect for magic treasure hunting. Their dragon soul helps them find treasure, their wicked powers help them steal it. But there’s a big freaking downside—FireSouls are hunted. If either of the magical governments figures out what she is, she can kiss her life goodbye. When the Alpha Council comes to her with a special job, it’s a no-brainer to turn it down, no matter how much money they’re offering. Shifters who can sniff out her weird magic are the last supernaturals she needs to be around. Worse? They have a history of hunting FireSouls. But when Cass learns that a little girl’s life is at stake and Cass is her last hope, she doesn’t have a choice. With her sisters and Aidan Merrick at her back, she’s got a chance at saving the girl and keeping her deadly secret—until she learns there’s far more to this kidnapping than meets the eye. It’s far too similar to what happened to her as a child, and everything new that she learns scares her even more. About the Author Before becoming a writer, Linsey was an archaeologist who studied shipwrecks in all kinds of water, from the tropics to muddy rivers (and she has a distinct preference for one over the other). After a decade of tromping around in search of old bits of stuff, she settled down to started penning her own adventure novels and is freaking delighted that people seem to like them. Since life is better with a little (or a lot of) magic, she writes urban fantasy and paranormal romance. REVIEW
Mirror Mage -Book 2: Dragon's Gift series Written By: Linsey Hall Reviewed By: April Epley This is the second book in The Dragon’s Gift Series by Linsey Hall. This book picks up quickly right where Book 1, Ancient Magic, leaves off. There is enough background information to where you can read this book without reading Book 1 and not be lost. I would urge all readers to read the first book beforehand just because it was a great story also. I am giving this book 5 stars. My only wish was that it would not have ended. Now I have to wait for the next book and I am pretty impatient. Cass, The Huntress (tomb raider- treasure hunter), makes a very good team with her ‘sisters’ Nix, the protector, who ran their shop and Del, the bounty hunter/ Seeker, who also identified the magic items they wanted to sell in the shop. These three have been together ever since they woke up in a field with no memories and just their magic when they were 15. It has only been a short time that they met Aiden, The Origin, and Cass is falling for him. So they think things are going to relax a touch as they just got back from their last job when they are asked for help from the Alpha Council. Will this be safe or will it blow the secret the girls have? It could cost them their lives, on the other hand having the Alpha Council on their side ‘just in case’ could be a great thing. You will have to read the book to see all the chaos and the parts of their past that are starting to reveal themselves. Thank you Linsey Hall for writing this story and making it come alive in my head. I am looking forward to the next book!!!

I felt feverish, and I couldn't move. I tried to open my eyes, but something heavy weighed on my eyelids.
Although I couldn't see or move, I heard voices around me. The first one was female, and she had an English accent like Sheriff Gray. "She's still got a fever."
Then, I heard a male voice. "What if she doesn't wake up?" He had the same accent, but he wasnât the sheriff.
At that moment, I realized they were talking about me. "Don't worry...she will."
"It's my fault. Dadâs going to bloody kill me."
"It's not your fault. Stop saying that. Sheâll be okay, and Dad will understand."
"I shouldn't have brought her here."
"You did the right thing by bringing her here. I can take care of her."
There was a momentary pause. "What if she finds out?"
"That's for Dad to decide."
The voices faded in and out. Sleep bore down on me, but the last words I heard from the man stuck in my head. "I'll watch over her."
A severely dry mouth and splitting headache interrupted my peaceful sleep. I couldnât hear the two voices, but I heard breathing in my left ear like someone was sleeping next to me. I tried to open my eyes so that I could ask them for water and medicine for my headache. The weight on my eyes was gone, so I tried to open them, but they felt sticky this time. I struggled to peel them open, blinking rapidly to loosen my eyelashes.
When I finally opened my eyes, they felt swollen. The pain in my head spread throughout my entire body. Dim light surrounded me in this strange room. I lay on a bed and looked up at the ceiling. I tried to speak, but my throat was dry. Only a quiet wheeze escaped. A low groan followed as my headache pounded against my temples. I still felt hot and sweaty. Layers of blankets covered me, and I wanted to yank them off. When I touched my abdomen, I wore nothing but my bra and panties.
My eyes darted around the unfamiliar room. On the wall, I noticed a shadow of something next to me. What the hell is that? I turned my head and saw a candle in the window, but what cast the shadow scared me to death. A large, white wolf lay on the floor beside me. There was no mistaking it for a dog. The bed was low to the floor, and its head was close to mine. I opened my mouth wide, prepared to scream, but wheezes and weak gasps escaped, instead. I thrashed my head against the pillow, as if the motions would turn up the volume in my voice. Finally, a shriek pushed through my sandpaper throat. It was a high-pitched squeal at first, but then, it burst forth and filled the room. I sat up quickly. Aching pain tore through my body, and I heard my bones crack.
The wolf awoke with a start. It jerked its head up, and glowing, yellow eyes blinked until they settled on me. I shrank away from it, nearly falling off the bed, screaming until I went hoarse and gasped for breath. The wolf stood on all fours, its size definitely that of a Great Dane. Our gazes locked for a brief moment before the animal ran out the room. I sat against the headboard, clutching the blankets against my chest. I was alone and terrified. Within seconds, tears trickled down my cheeks.

On the surface, the perks are sweet—she has the power to find and steal any type of magical treasure, including the powers of other supernaturals.

Several days have gone by, and Jim and Martin have been keeping Julie heavily sedated and in bed in preparation for her cryopreservation. Due to the heavy sedation, Julie can barely move although she struggles with whatever little strength she still has. Martin and Jim walk into the bedroom where Julie is being kept.
âGet away from me, Martin,â Julie screams. âLeave me alone. Why are you doing this to me?â She rips off her blankets and tries to get up from the bed.
âIâm sorry, Julie, but Jim and I will have to restrain you. It is essential that you remain calm if you are to heal.â
Julie continues to struggle. She tries to scratch Martinâs face. Martin grabs Julieâs arms and pins her down. He sits on her legs to keep her from moving. Being so weak, Julie is no match for Martinâs strength. She cries out.
âJim, please get the restraints,â exclaimed Martin as he continued to hold Julie down. âWe need to restrain Julie.â
Jim brings in the restraints and they strap Julie in by her wrists and ankles. Julie trashes around and pushes against the restraints, but her efforts are no match for the strength of the two men and the restraints. Julie lets out a weak scream.
âShush, shush, Julie. We are doing this for your own good. You are going to go to sleep now and when you wake up you will be fully healed just like my little monkey, Gita. Donât worry. You wonât feel a thing. Martin, start the IV.â
Martin attaches a bag of saline to the IV stand. A feeling of dread overcomes Julie and she shudders. She is suddenly aware that Martin and Jim are planning to freeze her alive just like they did with little Gita. She struggles against the restraints, but Martin holds her down and is able to insert the IV infusion tubing into the port attached to her body that had been used for the chemotherapy sessions. Mixed in the saline solution is Midazolam, a strong tranquilizer. The drug quickly takes effect, and Julie stops struggling.
âMartin, start the propofol.â
Martin hooks up a bottle of propofol to the IV drip. He quickly intubates Julie and hooks her up to a ventilator so that she will have plenty of oxygen going into her cells. He attaches monitoring equipment to check on Julieâs vital signs. He gives Julie an injection of Fentanyl to enhance the anesthesia effect and make sure that she will not experience any pain.
âJim, help me move Julie into the bathtub. Weâll have to go slowly so that we can take the IV stand and monitoring equipment into the bathroom.â
Martin and Jim place Julie into the bathtub and manage to move the IV stand and the monitoring equipment at the same time. They plan to ice Julieâs body and bring down her temperature before placing her into the liquid nitrogen Dewar. They remove her clothing. A rectal probe is placed in Julie in order to monitor her core body temperature.
âJim, bring up two bags of ice. Weâll place them carefully around her body. After we do that, Iâll get two more bags of ice to place around her body.â
Jim returns with two bags full of ice. The two scientists place ice all around Julieâs body as she lays unconscious in the bathtub. Martin goes down to the cellar and returns with two additional bags of ice. They cover Julie with the additional ice and then place a Mylar blanket over her to help maintain the cold temperature. They later add dry ice to bring her temperature down even further. When she is sufficiently cooled down, they will transfer her into the liquid nitrogen bath.
âMartin, how do her vital signs look?â
âShe is doing fine. Her blood pressure and heart rate are going down and her respiration has slowed. Her body temperature is coming down.â
âGood. We will soon be able to transfer her to the liquid nitrogen.â
âWeâll have to move her into the laboratory. We can temporarily unhook the monitoring and IV equipment, but we will have to be quick so that we can re-establish anesthesia and monitoring of her vital signs. Jim, keep the Mylar blanket wrapped around her. Weâll continue to ice her once we go downstairs.â
Jim and Martin carry Julie downstairs to the laboratory where the Dewar of liquid nitrogen is waiting for her. Because Julie has lost so much weight due to cachexia from the cancer, she only weighs ninety-six pounds and the two scientists have no trouble carrying her. When they reach the laboratory, they place Julie on a laboratory table and surround her with towels. They re-attach the monitoring equipment to check on Julieâs vital signs. They re-establish the IV connection so that they can maintain anesthesia and analgesia. They continue to ice Julieâs body to slow down her bodily functions and metabolism still further.
âMartin, has Julieâs core temperature been sufficiently reduced for us to begin withdrawing some of her blood?â
âYes, I believe that we are ready. We can store several quarts of her blood in our refrigerator.â
âWhat if we have an electrical failure?â
âThat is exactly why we bought the extra generator. Besides we will analyze her blood so that we have a complete blood profile and blood type.â
The scientists withdraw and collect six quarts of Julieâs blood while they continue to keep her on ice. They replace the IV bag of saline solution with the vitrification solution that worked so well on Gita. This will keep Julieâs body from forming destructive ice crystals that could damage her cells. They add some glucose to the IV. They stop the Propofol and Fentanyl as they are no longer needed for anesthesia. Julieâs bodily functions have slowed down so much that she can no longer feel any pain, and she remains unconscious. Once she is placed in the liquid nitrogen her heart and breathing will stop, and she will be in suspended animation until she can be reanimated.
âJim, is the liquid nitrogen Dewar ready for Julie?â
âYes, weâre ready to go. Letâs put on our protective gloves and carefully lower Julie into the liquid nitrogen.â
The two scientists put on their gloves and then gently lower Julieâs body upside down into the Dewar of liquid nitrogen. After they finish placing Julie into the liquid nitrogen, they high five and congratulate each other. After assuring that all the dials on the Dewar are perfectly set, they go upstairs for some lunch. A few hours later they go downstairs to check on Julie.
âMartin, do you think that we did the right thing by cryopreserving Julie Miller. I am having second thoughts.â
âJim, it is way too late for second thoughts. Besides, it would only be a few weeks before Julie would have died anyway even with the best of conventional medicine. You know what harm chemotherapy and radiation can do to the body. Julie is now perfectly preserved in suspended animation, and her body will be in good condition when we reanimate her once a cure for her cancer is found.â
âMartin, we should look for another volunteer.â
âYes, Iâll troll the cancer forums and start to look for a suitable candidate.â
âI think that we should start to think of moving our operation. As much as I like it here, the authorities will eventually come looking for Julie and link her disappearance to us. If they canât find us, they will probably find Pete and Liz. Weâll need to find a location that even Pete and Liz wonât know about.â
âYouâre right as always, Jim. But right now letâs go upstairs and celebrate our first cryopreserved human patient.â

Blurb: 17-year old November Lonergan spent her whole life feeling like an outsider, like she was different. She was right. She is a reaper like her mother; like her two cousins, Kai and Tristin. The supernatural world believes they are part of a prophecy to save them from an evil power known as the Grove. Ember just wants to survive high school and fix the fallout from bringing back Quinn. And there is a lot of fallout. Mace and Allister are missing, her uncle Alex is dead and Quinn seems to disappear a little more every day.
Now, a group of demonic hunters known as the Legionaries has resurfaced, threatening the reapers and anybody who stands with them. They are making good on their threats too; killing those closest to the pack and almost exposing the supernatural world to the humans in the process. Their only hope of defeating the Legionaries involves trusting a stranger to perform a dangerous spell to advance Ember and her cousinâs powers. But Ember has a secret; a secret she canât tell the pack. When Mace left, so did her magic and without it all of their planning means nothing.
An attack on pack allies leaves Donovan missing along with a mysterious girl named Evangeline who may play a bigger part in this than any of them realize. As the Legionaries are closing in, the pack must trust their enemies, enter hostile territories, and play a dangerous game of cat and mouse with the psychopath holding Mace. Their entire plan lynches on rescuing Mace and restoring Emberâs magic, but rescuing Mace could mean losing one member of the group in his placeâ¦possibly forever.
Martina McAtee lives in Jupiter, Florida with her teenage daughter, her best friend, two attack chihuahua's and two shady looking cats.

Chapter 1
Ember
âIt would appear you owe me a new body, Luv.â
November Lonergan stared at the ghost of her dead pseudo-boyfriend and contemplated how truly screwed up her life had become. Despite everything that happened that night, Mace was there, standing in her window, fading in and out, image static. She sighed from her toes, not sure how she felt about the situation. Of course he was there.
He flickered, image strengthening as she got closer. There was still blood on his torn t-shirt but his silver hair looked cleaner than the last time sheâd seen him. The symbols sheâd painted on his skin were gone but the of scars layered across his torso remained. His dark brows were smudges over luminous silver eyes. He was beautiful even in death.
She opened her mouth to say something but realized there was nothing at all suitable for this occasion. Sheâd already endured a blood ritual, two deaths, a knife fight and a resurrection; she didnât know if she could handle anything else today. Her magic didnât agree, it stretched and purred at Maceâs presence, reaching out for his power. Even death hadnât severed their magicâs connection it seemed. She didnât give in to the temptation to move closer.
The heat of her magic and a bone deep exhaustion had her swaying on her feet. He moved towards her before seeming to remember he was of little use in his present condition. âYou donât look very well. Maybe you should sit down.â
Ember nodded, not so much sitting as collapsing onto her pale pink bedspread. âOr you could lie down.â She heard Mace mutter. She yawned so hard her jaw cracked. She was still fully clothed but undressing seemed as impossible as climbing a mountain. She wiggled her toes. She needed to take her shoes off. She made a halfhearted attempt. âWhen did my feet get so far away?â
He glanced at her feet. âThey appear to be in the same place as always.â He walked back towards the window. âWhile youâre just lying about perhaps you could enlighten me on how exactly you plan to fix this disaster?â
Ember blinked up at him. Funny how quickly his affections turned. âAn hour ago it was âdo what you have to do, Luv. I could have loved youâ now itâs hurry up and fix this?â
He chuckled at her terrible impression of his accent. âI was trying to be noble and romantic in my final moments of existence. Now that I still exist, I think weâve wasted enough time on sentiment.â
âHaving your soul back obviously hasnât made you a better person.â
âDid you think it would? I told you not to romanticize me. My soul was tarnished long before I gave it away.â Even as a glitchy apparition, she could see the moment her words sunk in. âDid you say my soul?â
He hadnât realized what him appearing in her room meant. âDidnât you wonder why youâre still here?â
âCertainly, but that wasnât the answer I expected. How?â
Ember yawned again, eyelids drooping. âCanât we talk about it tomorrow? Iâm so tired.â
He gaped at her. âSeriously? You tell me I have a soul and now you want to go to sleep?â
âYes. Iâm tired. Iâve had a rather rough day.â
âReally? Did a witch force you to cut open your own stomach and create a mural with your own entrails? No? Then I win.â
Ember was too tired to play. âDrama queen.â
There was a long pause before he said. âYou might consider a shower. You are still covered in blood. My blood specifically. Quite a lot actually.â
Ember groaned, looking down at herself with effort. She was pretty gross. She was so tired though. âIf you werenât a ghost Iâd force you to carry me.â
There was a low chuckle. âInviting me to shower with you? Iâm sure that would go over quite well with the little alpha.â
Ember thought about the alpha werewolf currently downstairs cleaning the kitchen. After the night theyâd all had, she doubted Isa would be concerning herself with such mundane things as teenage hormones. Could the wolves hear her talking to Mace? Could they hear Mace? See him? Did they think she was in here talking to herself? Could she only see him because she was a reaper? She had so many questions.
She rolled to her feet, grabbing her things and keeping her thoughts to herself. She hurried to the bathroom and locked the door. She caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror and froze. He wasnât lying. She was covered in blood, and not just his blood. Her bright orange curls were a tangled sweaty mess matted together with blood and who knows what else. There were dark smudges under her eyes, making her already pale skin look chalky under the soft white lights. Her violet eyes glowed--actually, glowed--like the wolves did mid shift. That was new. Had they been glowing since the ritual or was Maceâs presence sending her magic into hyper-drive?
She flipped the water on and stripped down, not even waiting for the water to heat up before stepping beneath the spray. She realized almost immediately her mistake. She muffled a scream, bouncing from one foot to the other under the frigid water, relaxing only when steam finally began to rise.
âSo, tell me; how did I get back my soul?â
Ember gasped, slipping and yelping as her back hit the cold tiles. She stuck her head around the curtain. âThere is a reason these doors lock.â
His smile was disarming. âThere isnât a lock in the world that would keep me away from you, Luv.â
She rolled her eyes, righting the navy and white shower curtain, absently wondering how much he could see in those white stripes. âThat is like the most stalkery thing youâve ever said to me and you rank really high on the creepy-lurker-stalker-guy meter.â
There was another throaty laugh. âI am starting to think this power has gone to your head. Five hours ago you were weeping at my side like a war widow.â
Her mouth fell open. She yanked the curtain back enough to level a glare at him. âFive hours ago, I thought Iâd never see you again. Five hours ago, I thought I needed you. Five hours ago, I hadnât known youâd been playing me the entire time. Remember? Youâre the parasite and Iâm the host. You needed me. You lied to me this whole time.â
He shrugged, incredulous. âOf course, I lied. I could hardly tell you the truth. You would have booted me into the abyss, which you ended up doing anyway, I might add.â
She made a noise of disgust. This was Mace with a soul. âIâm such an idiot.â She said, more to herself than him. He tilted his head, a hint of something behind his eyes, regret maybe? She didnât give in, letting the curtain drop back into place, determined to ignore him.
She scrubbed herself quickly, alarmed at how little it bothered her to have this conversation with him while she was naked.
âI didnât lie about my feelings for you, Luv; if that means anything?â âHah.â Like she was going to believe anything he said now.
âIâm serious. If you believe nothing else. Believe I meant what I said.â
âYou said you could love me. If youâd been capable. Well, apparently you were capable this whole time. So I donât even know what to do with your half-assed confession of love.â
Why was she even talking about this? Maybe it was the shower curtain. It was like a confessional. It was so much easier to talk to somebody when you didnât have to look at them.
âHalf-assed?â He said, âI sacrificed myself so that our dear friend, Quinn, could have my body.â
Ember choked on her laugh. âOh, please. You were kidnapped and tied to a chair with a gaping abdominal wound. Itâs not like you volunteered for the job.â Emberâs eyes dropped to her feet, shuddering at the blood spiraling towards the drain.
Mace wasnât done being offended. âWell, that hardly matters. Quinnâs soul is safely housed in my body and Iâmâ¦here? So you could at least tell me how this all came to be.â
Ember rolled her eyes. He was impossible. âNot that you deserve any sort of explanation but Ms. Josephine says I restored your soul the night we met in the cemetery.â
He was quiet for so long she caved and, yet again, pulled the curtain back enough to ensure he was still there. He stared at nothing, jaw slack. âIâve had my soul the whole time?â
âYep.â She couldnât help but feel a bit smug about how wrecked he looked.
âYouâre sure?â
She slathered conditioner into her hair. âThatâs what Josephine thinks.â
âThe swamp witch?â
âOh, thatâs right. You were dead. Josephine the swamp witch isnât a witch at all. Well, maybe sheâs a witch but sheâs also an Oracle, because those are apparently a thing too. Oh, and Miller, my boss from the funeral home is actually Josephineâs brother and sheâs had him, like, watching me this whole time and Donovan is her grandson.â
He sounded awed as he said, âGood Lord, how long have I been dead? Iâve clearly missed a lot.â
âYou have no idea. Allister tried to kill me but Quinn saved me by stabbing Allister but as Allister was dying he forced Quinn to absorb his magic.â
âThe human killed his own father to save you? I didnât think he had it in him.â
âFormer human.â She corrected. "Besides, Allister isn't dead."
"What? What do you mean? You just said Quinn killed him."
She hesitated before saying, "I revived him."
"Revived or resurrected?" Mace asked, leery.
"What's the difference?" Ember asked, deliberately avoiding answering.
"Reviving is CPR, resurrecting is bringing a soul back across the veil. Stop being evasive, Luv."
"Fine, I resurrected him."
"With a spell?"
"No" she said, tone casual. "With my hands."
She could hear his forced exhalation. âThis is all very astonishing, even in our circle.â
Her heart did a strange skip at the word âourâ. She was pathetic. She snagged the towel and wrapped it around herself.
âWhy would they go to all this trouble to orchestrate this elaborate plan?â
She yanked the curtain open and stared at him. His eyes roamed her body, starting at her toes and working their way up. He grinned at her petulant expression. âSorry, Luv. Iâm dead, not blind. Iâve never been so jealous of a piece of cotton.â
She rolled her eyes. âMove, please.â
âWhy? You can just walk right through me.â He wiggled his eyebrows. âI encourage it, in fact.â
When she didnât take the bait he moved, following her back into her bedroom. âYou didnât answer my questions. So, what are you to two witches? Or a witch and an oracle?â
âThey have a crazy theory.â
âWhich isâ¦?â he prompted in exasperation.
âThey believe that Tristin, Kai and I are descendants of some ancient triple goddess.â
âThe Morrigan?â Mace said, sounding like the breath had been punched from his lungs.
Ember narrowed her eyes. âYes, exactly. They say there is some sort of prophecy. Itâs insane. They are both insane.â
He watched her for a moment as she wriggled into her t-shirt and sleep shorts without revealing anything. She towel-dried her curls.
âI suppose it makes sense.â
âNothing about this situation makes sense.â She told him, slipping between the sheets with a moan that bordered on obscene. She didnât know what sex felt like but she bet it wasnât as good as cold Egyptian cotton with a 700 thread count. She flipped her light off, amused as his spirit gave off a faint glow allowing her to see his annoyed expression.
âWhat are you doing?â He asked.
âWeâve had this conversation. Going to sleep.â
âYou canât. We have to figure this out.â
âTomorrow.â
âWhat if Iâm not here tomorrow?â He asked quietly.
Emberâs eyes jerked open, pulse tripping. She hadnât thought about that. Could he cross over?
Would he want that? Heâd been immortal for a very long time. âYou mean what if you cross over? Could you? Is that something youâd want?â
He sounded sick when he said, âTo be tortured for all eternity in the pits of hell? No, Luv, Iâll pass, thank you. Besides, soul or no, sluagh canât cross over into the spirit world.â
âSo why do you look so worried?â
âBecause there are things far worse.â
âWorse than hell?â
âAye. I told you before, nobody gets away with the things I did.â
âWeâll figure something out.â She said without thinking. Why was she still trying to help him? He really wasnât her problem. All those squishy sad feelings sheâd had after he was gone were quickly turning to something else. She didnât know what to call it but it felt like it was burning a hole through her chest.
She reached out; her hand brushing his. Her magic shocked through her, causing them both to suck in a breath.
Again, that same spooked look. It made her shiver. What the hell could scare Mace?
âBut we have to figure this out tonight.â
She wanted to tell him not to worry but she felt drugged, eyelids so heavy. âTomorrow. I promise.â
âEmber.â Her name sounded like a plea but she was too far gone.
âTomorrow.â She mumbled, already falling into sleep.

I grew up in a small northern Minnesotan town married my high school sweetheart, had two beautiful children and as soon as we could we moved to a warmer climate. I have worked with my husband building and decorating custom homes for years. After loving every kind of vampire book, movie and series I decided that I wanted to know more. I can write a book I thought, how hard can that be? Well.... But I stuck to it and finished my first book Royal Blood Chronicles Book One in August 2009. I now have six books in the series and am about to release book two of my new series Phantom Lives. My parents always told me that I could do anything that I wanted, work hard, study and do it right. I believe that and live that way every day.

Raised by nuns in the English countryside, she leads a quiet life until she’s whisked away to the Island of Cats and a grandmother she never knew. But before they can get to know each other, her grandmother dies. All that Trinity has left is a mysterious eye-shaped ring. And a thousand grieving cats. As Trinity tries to solve the enigma of the torn papyrus, she discovers a world of bloody sacrifices and evil curses, and a prophecy that points to her and her new feline abilities. Unwilling to believe that any of the Egyptian gods could still be alive, Trinity turns to eighteen-year-old Seth and is instantly pulled into a vortex of sensations that forces her to confront her true self—and a horrifying destiny.

The pleasure of writing and sharing her fantasy worlds has stayed with her, so now she wants to pass her stories to you with no secrecy—but with lots of mystery… A daughter of adventurous expats, she’s had the good fortune of living on 3 continents, learning 4 languages, and experiencing a multicultural life. Currently, she’s working on a Master’s degree in Comparative Literature, which she balances between writing, taking care of her clowder of cats, and searching for the perfect bottle of pinot noir.

I enjoyed reading about Trinity and all the Chaos that is surrounding her and why. There are enough twists and turns in this story to keep you very interested. I am looking forward to the next book to answer some of my lingering questions! I cannot wait!! Trinity grows up in an Orphanage run by Nuns. She has her best friend that helps her get through. Being abandoned at birth sure has questions of its own but not near as many as Trinity has when all of a sudden she finds out she has a very well to do grandmother that has been looking for her. Being wisked away to the Island of Cats sure comes as a surprise to her senses. Throw in a family curse, some history that dates back to Egyptian Goddesses, and a handsome young man named Seth, and you have a page turner for sure! I am giving this book 5 stars! It kept me very interested right up through the last pages. It stayed with me anytime I had to put it down and kept me up way past my bedtime. I will be keeping my eye out for more by this Author. I will definitely want to know when book 2 will be arriving!!! Thank you for a great start to what looks like a wonderful series!!! |
