Val

When I need to get away from the heat in Los Angeles, I head to a friend’s house in Vancouver, Canada. I just need to hide out. Oh, and that cute redhead? A mighty fine way to pass the time. Will this fling become something more by the time things cool down?

Seamus

When I’m invited to my boss’s house for a party, I’m thrilled. And nervous. Then I meet a guy who helps me relax. Even when I find out who he is, I keep coming back for more. Only it turns out I might be way over my head. Can I get out before I fall for him?

Book Blurb

Traumatized by horrors witnessed during the N**i invasion of France, a young woman retreats to the dense Breton woods where she becomes a member of the clandestine French Resistance. When she finds a critically injured American paratrooper whose plane was shot down, she shelters the wounded soldier in her secluded cottage, determined to heal him despite the enormous risk.

Ostracized by villagers who have labeled her a witch, she is betrayed by an informant who reports to the Butcher—the monstrous leader of the local paramilitary organization that collaborates with the Germans. As the enemy closes in, she must elude the Gestapo while helping the Resistance reunite the American with his regiment and join the Allied Forces in the Battle of Brittany.

Excerpt:

The Wounded Soldier

Low, agonized moaning interrupted Yvette’s nightmarish reverie.

That’s a man’s voice. And it’s coming from over there.

She followed the deep groans through a copse of trees to find an American soldier impossibly tangled in a nylon parachute. Suspended from a high branch of a massive oak tree, he was dangling upside down, hanging by an obviously broken leg. A sharp bone protruded from the torn, blood-soaked pants of his khaki uniform, and dried blood—which must have leaked from under his helmet-- covered half of his contorted face. His pitiful wails pierced her heart.

I can’t lower him to the ground by myself. He’s twice my weight. And if I cut the ropes, he’ll plummet headfirst. He already has a head injury, judging from the gore all over his forehead. Please, God, let him hang on until I get back.

“I’ll go get help. I promise to come back soon.” She called up to him, hopeful that he could hear her.

And that he understood French.

The age old adage of opposites attract might not necessarily be true, but in the case of Vicki Templeton and Blake Callahan it applies from the moment they first meet. But that attraction isn't based on common goals or similar life styles. Due to the tragic death of his six-year-old son, Blake no longer believes in the future. Every day must be lived as if it was the last. No one is guaranteed a tomorrow.

Vicki, on the other hand, has learned what she believes is a valuable lesson from her childhood. The only purpose for today is to plan for the future. They are about as opposite as you can get. Yet the attraction between them can't be denied.

But what will happen when summer is over and it's time to return to reality? When she finds out that Blake isn't the carefree beach bum with no ambition that she believed him to be? Will either of them be able to change their philosophy on life?

Title Stone of Fear
Author Margaret Izard
Genre Paranormal Romance
Publisher The Wild Rose Press

Book Blurb

She’d give everything to keep his love. He’d chase her through time to save her soul.
Marie Murray, a spunky expert on spiritual buildings, jumps at the opportunity to renovate the chapel mosaic floor at Dunstaffnage Castle, where she falls hard for the dashing John MacArthur. From their first kiss, sparks fly.

Believing her religious renovation creates magic, a fanatical priest kidnaps Marie. Obsessed with obtaining a powerful magic Stone of Iona, he drags her to 15th-century Scotland.

With his love kidnapped, John must tackle his hereditary duty and locate a magic Fae stone while chasing his love across time. Her memories of their passion keep her sane. His fuel his will to find her.

Will John get to Marie in time to save her soul?

Excerpt

Hands closed over her eyes and startled her. At first, she grew concerned, but the familiar scent of clean male musk with an undercurrent of light aftershave wafted to her, and she recognized who held her.

A breath blew gently against her ear as he whispered, “How do ye get a geologist girlfriend?”

Marie giggled and shrugged as she leaned back against John’s muscular chest. Her head fit perfectly under his chin. John removed his hands, but she kept her eyes closed as he turned her in his arms, then kissed her lips. She returned his kiss and rose on her toes as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

He lifted his head. “Well, how do ye get a geologist girlfriend?”

Another of John’s corny rock jokes, she opened her eyes to his expectant stare. “I don’t know. How?”

He smiled and replied. “Ye best esker out!” He paused. “Get it? Esker is a long, winding ridge of stratified sand and gravel…”

She giggled and kissed him quickly as she stopped his speech. “Are ye asking me to be yer girlfriend or asking me out?”

John hugged her and replied, “Both, be my girlfriend and have lunch later today. But first, I need to exercise.”

John took her hand as they strolled toward the Chapel in the Woods. “Woman of the rocks, were ye examining the excavation site ye and Bree believed to be a small village during the eighteenth century? Yer project starts today, right?”

She smiled at his endearment. He called her “Woman of the rocks” in their emails and phone conversations when they first spoke about Bree’s chapel renovation project, over a year ago.

At the stroke of midnight, Hattie Smith, that’s me, turns the big four-oh. To celebrate—a taste of Italy. An e-bike tour of Sorrento— a little pasta, a little wine, a little history. And a delicious surprise—Matteo DeLuca. The s*xy man behind the counter cranked up the heat, stoking my appetite—for him. And the forehead kisses? Hot damn. Now, that’s what I'm talking about. It’s true what they say—this is the land of love.

The gods play tricks with everyone, and today they set their sights on me, Matteo DeLuca. When Hattie Smith walked into my shop, my mind dove into an erotic haze. Cupid’s arrow struck deep, piercing my heart—an open wound that bleeds for this woman. La mia anima brucia per questa donna. Desire. Lust. Needs—dead until now. Losing her is not an option. Everything about her is, how you say? Deliziosa. What I need most? What I don’t have? Time.

Can Allison and her friends save the world without becoming monsters?

Allison hoped her life would be free of torment after escaping the faeries. No sooner than Allison and her friends return home, the government imprisons Bria and Haji on a military base where scientists experiment on them. Allison’s plan to rescue them backfires when she reveals Bria’s location to the faeries, who mount a raid to capture the faery child. With Bria’s blood, they can create more enthralled super magicians to wage war against humanity. The attack on the military base is just the beginning. When an electromagnetic pulse knocks out the power for the west coast of the United States, it is clear more powerful foes than the faeries are invading Earth.

The Wrath of Monsters is the third installment in the award-winning series The Allison Lee Chronicles. With a bit of good fortune, the fourth and final volume in the series will be available in the summer of 2025.

Hello! I’m Evelyn and I write s*xy q***r vampires and witches. My drive is to write fun, beautiful, (semi) realistic q***r and polyamorous relationships, but to make them all vampires and witches because I love fangs and magic. Also s*x and blood.

But, I want more than mindless s*x and blood. Perhaps more than anything else, my love is worldbuilding. A complete and thoroughly built world gives birth to such wonderful characters, and I love molding my world into something you can believe, drawing on countless hours of research into history and mythology. In particular, I love featuring snippets of the cultures that make up my heritage, especially Jewish, Celtic, and French for my series, The Bloodline Chronicles. (I also research the steamy parts. Thoroughly.)

Now, six years later, Jasper finally has the chance to make things right. But the sweet, dorky kid he remembers is now one of the sports gods of the school, with a girlfriend on his arm and a crowd of friends whose chief hobbies are soccer and homophobia.

Reaching the boy he once knew won’t be easy, but with the help of the nicest guy he's ever met, Jasper hatches a plan to remind Felix of everything they used to share. When Operation Felix goes a little too well, Jasper is faced with a choice—embrace the lost love he’s been pining for all these years, or explore the new love that’s been growing right under his nose.
