“You’re worth it.” Cupping her face in his hands, he pressed a tender kiss to her lips. “I would do anything for you, Lisette.” He kissed her again. “If you told me tomorrow that Tracy had inadvertently thrown away your favorite throwing star, I would fly to the nearest landfill and comb through the mountains of reeking, dripping garbage until I found it.” He thought about it for a moment. “Actually that would probably be a lot less irritating than dealing with your immortal brethren has been for the past forty-eight hours.”
She laughed. “Poor baby. You’re just not a people person, are you?”
“Not by any stretch of the imagination.”You'll see quite a bit of Zach and Lisette in Shadows Strike. :-)
Have a wonderful weekend!

Favorite Quote Friday #155
Happy Friday!! I've been working hard, editing Shadows Strike, Immortal Guardians Book 6, which tells Ethan and Heather's story. I'll turn it in to my editor next week, so you might want to visit my Facebook page to see if I'll celebrate with a Flash Giveaway. :-)
I've been getting a lot of emails, messages, and comments, asking who the hero of Phantom Embrace, the novella I've written for the On the Hunt anthology, will be. Now that I've turned it in, I'm ready to announce that the hero of Phantom Embrace will be . . . Yuri. :-)
His heroine has been on my radar for a long time. I'm glad Yuri finally found her. ;-)
Today is the last day you can enter to win an Immortal Guardians Kindle or Nook ebook (winners choice of books already released) or one of two Immortal Guardians swag packs. You can find the details and enter HERE.

Night Unbound received a fantastic 5-star review from Bears Read, Too, which declared it "Freakin' Phenomenal!" Here's a snippet:
"There are so many things I love about this book and series!
- The characters (especially the grumpy ones!)
- The relationships and unbreakable friendships
- The family dynamic
- The plot and style of writing
- The dialogue is hilarious!
- The fact that the writing and pace is so good that each chapter flows with perfect ups and downs making it impossible to stop reading and the pages pretty much turn all of their own volition!
- … and certainly not least but the hot & sexy romances"
You can read the full, fabulous review HERE.

It's time once more for Favorite Quote Friday! For today's selection, I thought I'd give you a narrative quote taken from Night Unbound, Immortal Guardians Book 5, which tells Zach and Lisette's story.
Though shadows had been Zach’s friend for thousands of years, he found no comfort in them now. He had not slept in two days, thanks to Seth’s precious Immortal Guardians. Nor had he made love to Lisette.
The last irritated him far more than the first, of course. Zach craved her touch like a cat craved catnip. His existence had always been so bereft of affection and passion and tenderness that—now that Lisette had given him a taste of it—he constantly wanted to drink more in, to bathe in it and relish every kiss and touch and gasp of ecstasy.
Have a wonderful weekend!

I have a cover and blurb for Shadows Strike, Immortal Guardians Book 6!!
The Immortal Guardians protect the innocent in secret. Sometimes the secret gets out...
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...
