This Blog is right up my alley! Not only do I read and write Paranormal Romance's but I love wine. I think being raised in a French family and living near a winery in California has a lot to do with that. I dearly love my hometown winery Corbet Canyon Vineyard located on the Central Coast of California. If you are not sure where the Central Coast is it's about an hour north of Santa Barbara. It's truly a beautiful area and if you ever get the chance I strongly encourage anyone to visit.
Now, to the good stuff. I'm giving away a copy of my newest release. The second novel in the Dark Breed Series, Passion's Flight. All you need to do is leave me a comment on this blog. I will be picking the winner on Saturday 4/28 through Random Number. Org and my contest is open to US, Canada and Internationally too!
Good Luck and now, here is a little about the book.
Good Luck and now, here is a little about the book.
BLURB:
Tegan Murin has his hands full these
days. Feral attacks are increasing, targeting humans, and now he is ordered to
find and destroy a deadly artifact known as Oman’s Seal, deal with his
estranged step-father and find a missing archaeologist. He’s a bit irritable.
Add into the mix a recurring dream of one sexy seductress leading him to his
death… well, you get one very pissed off were-panther.
Kyra Navarone is more than what she
seems. Escaping from the Ferals who captured her, she ends up running into a brooding,
irritating man who makes her blood run hot just with one look. Her life depends
on the betrayal of this compelling man, but how can she live with herself
afterward?
More than their lives hang in the
balance. In order to survive they must learn to trust one another before the
world they know and the one hidden beneath the waves are destroyed forever.
His gaze caught once again on her face as
she stopped at arm’s length away from him. Her eyes, he noted slanted up at an
exotic angle enhancing a heart shaped face. Her nose was small, straight with a
small upturn at the tip and her lips, Gods those lips were made for a man to
kiss! Full and pale pink, he had the sudden urge to see if they were as soft
and lush as they looked.
“You are different
from the others,” she stated it as fact in a husky voice, filling his mind with
all kinds of lecherous ideas.
“Yeah, I’ve been
accused of that before,” he replied giving her a slow smile.
Her arched brows
angled down in a frown. “No, I mean I think you are here for me.”
“Any other time,
sweetheart, but this is hardly the place for a conversation. We need to get out
of here fast before some real bad guys come back here.”
“Yes, it is not safe
here. You must go,” she agreed turning to head back into the forest.
He quickly grabbed
her arm turning her to face him. “Whoa there, no way am I leaving you alone,
lady. Come on. Let’s get out of here.”
She pulled back from
him. Her voice brushed over him like velvet, yet her words rang with steel. “I
am quite capable of taking care of myself. Just get out of here now. I will not
be the cause of more deaths.”
“I know how to handle
myself, so don’t worry your pretty little head about it,” he purred, giving her
his best seductive smile.
He watched those
gorgeous eyes narrow with irritation at him. “My pretty little head? You just
didn’t say that to me did you? Of course you didn’t. Because if you did that
would mean I was dealing with a real imbecile. No, I take that back. I would be
talking to a chauvinistic, egomaniacal jerk who had the IQ of a rock.”
“Wow, a rock huh?”
His eyes narrowed, all thoughts sexual dissolving in an instant, “Who the hell
are you, lady?” He felt his temper rise, never a good sign when his cat prowled
just under his skin.. “I’ve been called worse things in my life, and though I
would love to stand here and argue with you, I just don’t have that kind of time,
so if you don’t mind, move your ass.”
“I have never met a
more disagreeable person in all of my life,” she huffed.
“That life will be
very short and painful if we don’t get the hell out of her. Now!”
“I just so happen to
know this area very well and I don’t need to be saved,” she snapped back at his
abruptness. Moving swiftly away from the burning bodies and out to the main
path. They walked for some time in a strained silence stretching between them,
tension spiking between them until she blurted out the first thing that came to
mind. “Are you always this… exasperating?”
“Baby, that’s my
middle name,” he drawled. “Now get that pretty little ass moving.”
“Do you have to use
such base language? Honestly, it shows a lack of intelligence.” she grumbled as
he marched her out of the settlement to a small overgrown trail.
“Didn’t your mama
ever tell you it’s dangerous to judge a book by its cover? It may just take
your head off,” he advised dryly picking up the pace. “By the way, do you have
a name or should I just call you pain in the ass?”
“Anyone ever tell you
you’re a jerk?”
“Every minute of
every day.” He chuckled. “Your name?”
She huffed out an
irritated breath. “I am Doctor Navarone,
Kyra to my friends, which by the way you
are not.”
