Vampires for Valentines Giveaway Hop

Welcome to the Vampires for Valentines Giveaway Hop, hosted by Felicity Heaton, Caris Roane and H. D. Thomson!  We're celebrating Valentine's Day by celebrating the vampires we love . . . or love to hate!  ;-)

As an avid reader, I have been a big fan of vampires since before they first appeared in my beloved paranormal romance genre.  Heinous undead creatures that crept forth from the pages of horror novels.  Villains in movies and on television shows.  Tortured heroes.  Tragic heroes.  Cocky heroes.  I've loved them all.  So, of course, as an author, I had to write about them.

For those of you who aren't familiar with my Immortal Guardians series, I have decided to return vampires to their villainous roots.  That's right.  Vampires aren't the heroes in my series.  They also aren't undead.  They're infected with a rare virus that gives them incredible strength, speed, and regenerative capabilities coupled with a need for blood.  It also causes brain damage and a descent into madness.  So my Immortal Guardians — powerful warriors infected with the same virus, but protected from the madness by extremely advanced DNA— hunt vampires to prevent them from preying upon humans.

And every Immortal Guardian, whether he knows it or not, needs a strong heroine to fight by his side.  :-)

My Prize

There are many vampire-related prizes up for grabs in the hop.  Mine is the winner's choice of one of the first three book in my series + Immortal Guardians swag.

Immortal Guardians Book 1

"A thrilling and chilling new paranormal series.  Fantastic!"

4.5 stars, RT Book Reviews

Once, Sarah Bingham's biggest challenge was making her students pay attention in class. Now, after rescuing a wounded stranger, she's landed in the middle of a battle between corrupt vampires and powerful immortals who also need blood to survive. Roland Warbrook is the most compelling man Sarah has ever laid hands on. But his desire for her is mingled with a hunger he can barely control . . .

In his nine centuries of immortal existence, no woman has tempted Roland as much as Sarah. But asking her to love him is impossible -- when it mean forfeiting the world she's always known, and the life he would do anything to protect.

Immortal Guardians Book 2

"This blend of kick-butt action, intriguing plot twists and heartfelt passion is utterly addictive!"

4.5 stars, RT Book Reviews

Ami isn't much for trusting strangers.  She has a hard time trusting anyone.  But she's no coward, and she's no pushover in the protection department either.  So when she comes across a mysterious warrior taking on eight deranged vampires on his own, she doesn't hesitate to save his bacon.  Of course, that was before she realized what one little rescue would get her into . . .

Marcus Grayden has been an immortal protector of humanity for eight hundred years, and at the moment he's not interested in backup.  From the moment Ami arrives in his life, he can't deny that she's strong, smart, and extremely skilled at watching his back.  But she's also destroying his protective solitude and stirring desires he can't bear to awaken.  After all, whatever her secrets -- how can she defeat death itself?

Immortal Guardians Book 3

"With this excellent entry, rising star Duvall is fast proving to be a major player in paranormal romance!"

4.5 stars, RT Book Reviews

Dr. Melanie Lipton is no stranger to the supernatural.  She knows immortals better than they know themselves, right down to their stubborn little genes.  So although a handsome rogue immortal seems suspicious to her colleagues, Sebastien Newcombe intrigues Melanie.  His history is checkered, his scars are impressive, and his ideas are daring.  But it's not his ideas that have Melanie fighting off surges of desire . . .

Bastien is used to being the bad guy.  In fact, he can't remember the last time he had an ally he could trust.  But Melanie is different - and under her calm, professional exterior he senses a passion beyond anything in his centuries of experience.  Giving in to temptation is out of the question - he can't put her in danger.  But she isn't asking him . . .
