Christmas Treats Giveaway Hop


Welcome to the Christmas Treats Giveaway Hop!  What are our favorite Christmas Treats? Books, of course! So each blog participating in the hop will be giving away fabulous book-related gifts for the Holidays!

When cold weather rolls in, there's nothing quite like toasting your toes in front of a crackling fire as you lose yourself in the pages of a great book.  Alas it will be too warm for a fire here.  BUT I still intend to get in some fun reading time.  :-)  In addition to reading back through my next release (Rendezvous With Yesterday), I'm looking forward to diving into lovely Laurann Dohner's new VLG series, the first book of which releases on December 22nd.  Woohoo!  Perfect timing!  (I love her New Species series).


My Giveaway



For my giveaway, I thought I would warm up your winter with signed paperback copies of my latest releases:  A Sorceress of His Own, The Gifted Ones Book 1 and Shadows Strike, Immortal Guardians Book 6 + a Swag Pack (2 postcards, 8 bookmarks, and 8 trading cards).  If you're new to my Immortal Guardians series, don't worry.  The books can all be read as standalones.


~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Since the day Lord Dillon earned his spurs, rumors of his savagery on the battlefield have preceded him into every room, stilling tongues and sparking fear. Weary of battle, he wishes only to find a woman he can wed who will approach him not with fear, but with the tenderness that has been absent from his life for so long. Yet only the wisewoman seems invariably at ease in his presence. Perhaps because she garners the same fear in others that he does himself.

For seven years, Alyssa has been by Lord Dillon's side, counseling him from the shadows, healing him with her hands, and staving off the worst of his loneliness while his fearsome reputation keeps others at bay. Blessed—or cursed—with gifts that label her a sorceress, she is forced to conceal her youth and the love she harbors for him beneath umbral robes that lead Dillon and his people to believe she is the same aged wisewoman who served his father.  All is revealed, however, and passions flare when an enemy threatens Dillon's life and Alyssa sacrifices everything to save him. 



U.S. law enforcement agent Heather Lane can read minds. But not the future. The dream of battle and blood that recurs every night must be a fluke, some obscure terror from her own mind. What its significance might be, she can't guess: an attack from seven psychotic vampires at once, only separated from nightmare by an eighth very different immortal. A handsome, brave man fighting at her side, a man she misses when she wakes.

Then the dream comes true. Heather is flung into a war between predators and protectors of humanity, the man from her dreams beside her again. Except now that she's awake, she isn't sure she can trust Ethan, or the shadow organization he represents. The U.S. military doesn't trust either of them. But against an onslaught of evil like the one that's coming, it will take everything they have just to survive...

  31. I am still catching up on the immortal guardians series. But I have just purchased shadow strike and will be reading that also. I read and critiqued sorceress of his own and fell in love with it. Bailey's and coffee snuggled on the couch with one or several of your books piled next to me. I am in heaven. donelgerrard@hotmail.com. or gerrarddonel@gmail.com

  32. I wish I had found you a few hundred books ago. It is sad how many mediocre authors you have to go through before you find the ones like you. The ones that have the rare ability to paint a 3D picture with the stroke of your pen, or click of your keyboard. The up side to all of that is I now have a months worth of reading to immerse myself in. Thank you for sharing your gift!
