Embrace The Mystery-Caris Roane #giveaway

COVER BLURB: Mastyr Quinlan pursues the artist, Batya, with only one thing in mind but soon discovers that his desire for her is just the beginning of an earth-shattering affair… He doesn’t want a woman in his life… Quinlan must keep Grochaire Realm safe from the enemy at all costs.  As ruler of his realm, a woman has no permanent place in his day-to-day existence. But when his lust takes him to Batya’s bedroom, he soon discovers he’s deep into a powerful experience that threatens to blow his life apart.  He wants Batya with a feverish desire that makes no sense in his logical, warrior world.  But when an ancient fae attacks Batya’s gallery, he launches into protector mode and soon finds himself embroiled -- body, soul, and fangs -- with a woman he’d only meant to bed a couple of times.   She has no desire to get involved with a mastyr vampire… Batya’s intense desire for Mastyr Quinlan stuns and baffles her.  She doesn’t want to be involved with the vampire on any level.  His sole focus of ruling Grochaire Realm has kept him from staying with one woman longer than the proud length of his fangs.  Besides, she’s built a life for herself in Lebanon, Tennessee as an artist and healer to the realm ex-patriot community. But when the ancient fae attacks Quinlan at her gallery, then attempts to kidnap her assistant, Batya finds herself catapulted into an astonishing adventure.  Even so, she works steadily to get back to her free-clinic and her painting, but how can she leave Quinlan behind when he’s commanded her like no other man ever has?

BIO: I confess I've had a love affaire with vampires for several years now, especially warrior vampires, the kind found in the books of Sherrilyn Kenyon, Lara Adrian and JR Ward. Though I've been published in Regency Romance under the pseudonym Valerie King--and yes one of my Regency Novellas features a vampire--one day I woke up knowing I had to create my own contemporary world of the warrior vampire. For some mystical, magical reason, early in the process, my vampires appeared with enormous beautiful wings and it has been the most amazing experience to include flight in my novels, in both battle scenes and scenes involving spectacle. My special vampire world, published by St. Martin's Press, is introduced in the first book called, ASCENSION (12-28-2010). The second book, BURNING SKIES (May of 2011), opens up the world a little bit more. And even as I write this, I'm on the final draft of my third novel, WINGS OF FIRE (September of 2011). What a thrill it has been to live with my ascended vampires through the creation of this extraordinary, multi-dimensional world! For more information about my unique take on the vampire mythos, check out my website at carisroane.com and my book release video on YouTube by putting in the search phrase, Caris Roane Ascension.

Batya helps him out… Quinlan showered, washing out the mass of his hair twice then applying Batya’s crème rinse until he’d have a half-way decent shot at getting the snarls out with a brush. Using her blow dryer, he scowled as he watched his damn hair fly around. Why couldn’t a vampire, especially a Guardsman, have some kind of preternatural power to remove snarls and dry his hair without electricity? “Want some coffee with your ‘shits’ and ‘damn-all-the-elf-lords-to-hell-and-back’?” He met Batya’s reflection in the mirror, and saw a mug extended in his direction. He shut the dryer off, turned around, and took the cup. “That bad, huh?” Batya chuckled. She had dimples, two of them. Not deep, but they were definitely there, beside her mouth. He’d never noticed before, but then most of his seduction work had taken place at a distance. “Turn around. I’ll work the back section.” He didn’t hesitate, something that resonated deep in his brain as a serious warning of some kind, but he wasn’t sure in what way.  She picked up the brush he’d been using and started at the tips. He couldn’t even feel the tugs so he drank his coffee and released a sigh.  His thoughts turned to Grochaire, the realm he ruled. “I need to get word to my Guard, to warn them about what they’re up against. But my telepathy isn’t working through your shield and my phone got blasted by one of those wraith-pairs.” “You can try my phone, but I can’t guarantee you’ll get through, not with the shield I have in place. Sorry, but staying alive has a priority here.” He smiled because he couldn’t have agreed with her more. She brushed through a long length, hit a snag and started working it. He could see her in the mirror, brow furrowed. He’d seen that look already, more than once just conversing with her. She had a seriousness about her that he approved of, maybe because it matched his own.  He sipped some more and watched her. She was a beautiful woman and tall, maybe just under six feet. He wouldn’t have to lean too far down to pull her into his arms and kiss her. She wore her hair loose with clips holding it away from her face.  She had strong cheekbones and a straight nose. Her chin was definitely fae, more pointed than a human’s would be, but exquisite.    He knew her ancestry, half-fae, half-troll, her genetics having fallen on the fae side. Realm-DNA did that when the species mixed. The offspring landed one way or another, the same if more than two lines made up the code. Genetics always picked a lane. He realized that he liked her looks, really liked them. “Have you ever done a self-portrait?” She picked up another long hunk of his hair and once more started at the tips, working swiftly. “I don’t really do faces. I’ve always been into landscapes and the occasional still-life if the objects intrigue me enough.” “Do you go out, snap photos of woodlands, that kind of thing?” “Sometimes.” She stopped brushing and scratched her cheek with her thumb. “But more often than not I’ll get these rich images in my head and that’s what I’ll paint.” “Sounds fae.”  She started brushing again, making quick work as he sipped his coffee. “Maybe. Probably. I don’t think about it. I just paint and let the spirit move me.” He smiled. “The spirit, huh?” “It’s a good earth-saying, don’t you think?” “I suppose it is. So you like being here on human earth?” “I do. In fact, I love it. I didn’t know what happiness or freedom was until I moved here.” She met his gaze in the mirror. “And I don’t plan on ever returning to the Nine Realms. The day that we made our treaties with the US, turned out to be the best day of my life…”

Sentenced to spend the rest of his three remaining lifetimes in Nil, Amon Kalins is freed with the help of his Sidhe servant, Gethen, but now he must accept his life is never to be his again as the Council won't rest until he's safely back imprisoned within Nil's cold walls.

Blood Craving #CoverReveal #PNR

Today is all Blood Craving, the 5th novel in the Sons of Navarus series coming later this year. Thanks to CBLS for hosting this cover reveal and thank you to all the great blogs who have joined with me to introduce Sion's story to the world.

So without further ado, here's the blurb for Blood Craving:

I am everything you hunger for. I am vampire.

For Sion, reason and logic are his only solace. Since becoming vampire in the 1940s, he has shunned feelings, morphing into a being more machine than man. As a Son, he keeps his distance from the others, allowing only one soul in the world to stir his icy heart.

A vampire turned in ancient Greece, Kali is the only hope the Sons and the Order of Macaria have to decipher the prophecy now that Thane is gone. But her past hides a dark secret that has finally caught up with her. Demons she only barely controlled now threaten her very life and the safety of all dear to her.

The one vampire who can help her knows nothing of how to reach another's heart, but without him, they both may be lost.

Blood Prophecy (Sons of Navarus #4) Available Now! #PNR #newrelease

A day or so early, Blood Prophecy, the fourth novel in the Sons of Navarus series is now available at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Kobo. Here's the blurb:

From this point on, nothing will ever be the same...

I am everything you fear. I am vampire.

As the two Sons chosen to decipher the Prophecy of Idolas, Ramiel and Thane journey to find the key to defeating the Archons. Together with Noele, a born vampire, they confront their fates as they fulfill their duty to their world. Along the way, they'll find love, but death and betrayal lurk in the shadows, threatening everything dear to them.

Descended from the gods and warriors all, each Son's loyalty will be tested. Every action has consequences, and the choices they make now seal their fates. Alliances as old as the vampire world itself are reforged, and the Sons' duty is clear. Stop the Archons. Or die trying.

Includes the additional Sons of Navarus short stories His Love and Forbidden Fruit

I'm very proud of this book. It took a long time to write and even longer in edits because of some of the plot points. It's definitely more urban fantasy than some of my other books, and the story is getting pretty dark now. To say Blood Prophecy is a turning point in the series is an understatement.

I think readers who've read the earlier Sons books will enjoy this book. And there are two extra series short stories with the ebook, including a short about Saint and Solenne that give readers a little more about the couple that will be seen a whole lot more in the next book, Blood Craving. Happy reading!

Find Out More About The #SonsofNavarus #PNR

Happy Tuesday, everyone! It's a dreary day in PA, made more dreary by the fact that I'm laid up with a back injury. If I'm not in pain, I'm sleeping the day away from the pain killers. Oh, well. This too shall pass.

This week I begin visiting blogs to talk about the Sons of Navarus series in preparation for the springtime release of Blood Prophecy, Book 4 in the series. Much longer than the first three books, it's a real turning point in the story.

Today I'm at Bitten By Paranormal Romance talking about what the series is like, so stop over and take a look. On Wednesday (2-20), I'll be at the Book Lovin' Mamas talking about what makes the Sons series different from others in the genre. Then on Thursday (2-21), I'll be at Awesomesauce Book Club chatting about the four Sons who've already had their stories told. And on Friday (2-22), I'll be at GraveTells talking about the newest book, Blood Prophecy.

I hope you'll stop by each of these wonderful blogs and find out more about the series readers are calling "different from anything else in the vampire genre."

There's also something else new over at my website. Stop over to the Sons Character Profile page to see pics of the heroes and heroines of the series (I'll be adding villains later) and find out more about them.

I'll be back with more dates for the upcoming weeks, so don't miss it! I'll be giving away swag, some of those gorgeous Sons book thongs, and giving peeks into Blood Prophecy. Hope to see you there!

Blood Spirit's Blog Barrage #PNR #UF

Happy Wednesday! It's all Blood Spirit this week with its blog barrage happening today and tomorrow. Blood Spirit, Terek, and Ilona will be featured at 20 blogs on these days, so stop by to check out the excerpts (some pretty steamy) and book trailer, in addition to the $5 Amazon GC and Sons of Navarus swag giveaway.
