Welcome to the Favorite Heroine Giveaway Hop, hosted by Herding Cats & Burning Soup. We're sharing our favorite kickass heroines with you! So come join the fun, meet some awesome
ladies, and find out why they're the best of the best.
I have always been a huge fan of strong, kickass heroines, which is why you will find one in every novel or novella I write. As much as I love horror movies, those that feature women who trip over their own feet, then lie there and whimper as the murderer or monster slowly walks toward them always make me roll my eyes and sigh. Either that or shout, "Oh, come on! He's moving so slowly you can't even consider it a stroll! Get up and run already!" :-)
So today I thought I would introduce you to Alyssa, the heroine of A Sorceress of His Own, the first book in my new series The Gifted Ones. Alyssa is as tough as they come, even riding into battle alongside the hero. She will always be favorite of mine not just for this reason, but also because her book inspired my Immortal Guardians series and the kickass women those books feature. :-)
A USA TODAY Bestseller
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. When Dillon discovers that the wisewoman is far from
elderly, he is instantly entranced. And, as he and Alyssa work together
to defeat an enemy bent on destroying them both, Dillon will risk
anything—even the wrath of his king—to be with her.
