10 reasons you'll love REVELATION
Romance readers are busy people.
Books to devour, chocolate to consume, hungry families to ignore while we fall
in love with another strong, gorgeous, to-die-for hero and his amazing heroine.
Talk to the hand, real life. We don't have all day.
So. Want the quick-and-dirty on
REVELATION, my dark paranormal romance? First in the Seven Signs series? In
paperback and ebook from Berkley Sensation? Sure you do. Here are ten reasons
you'll love REVELATION, in sixty seconds or less. Ready, steady, go!
1.
The Apocalypse. Y'know, with seven signs. Complete with
a zombie invasion of New York City and an ocean of blood. And we've only just
begun.
2.
A posse of hot supernatural warriors. C'mon, every
paranormal series needs one. These guys (and girls!) are called the Tainted
Host, a bunch of angels thrown out of heaven for their sins. They roam the
earth. They kick butt. They party hard.
3.
A smokin' hot fallen angel hero. Big muscles, cool
magical powers, a wicked sense of humor. Luniel is a tough alpha warrior with a
big flaming sword (ahem) and a tortured past. Oh, and velvety black feathers.
You know you want one.
4.
A gutsy, modern heroine. Morgan is a pathologist, who
does autopsies for a living, and she doesn't believe in all this
angel-demon-end-of-the-world nonsense. Until a totally scrumptious one lands in
her lap, that is. Oh, and when the zombies arrive? She kicks butt.
5.
Cool demons. Not wussy ones, who only pretend to be evil while they're
swanning about managing nightclubs or whatever. My demons are snarky, cunning
psychopaths who screw you over with the small print and munch your pathetic
soul into hamburger. They like pain and death and destruction. And they really enjoy making angels miserable.
6.
The archangel Michael. He's bold, he's gorgeous, he's
twisted as hell. You've never seen him like this. Trust me.
7.
The demon king, Azaroth, ice prince extraordinaire.
Satan's chilly lieutenant, intent on busting his boss out of the pit and
creating hell on earth. He appears as wind, as darkness, as icy drips on your
window. Be very afraid.
8.
This amazing cover. Nom nom. Is this gentleman
delicious, or what? With special bonus taut man-midriff. Buy a copy just for
that, if you want. I won't complain.
9.
This series is guaranteed to feature absolutely zero
virginal interns, job interviews or billionaires who need therapy. Just for a
change. There may be a small tying-up scene. Or not. You'll see…
10. We
all hate waiting, right? So in case you just can't get enough? Book 2 is nearly
upon us! REDEMPTION hits shelves on 5 March. Check out those hot golden
feathers. Enough said. This Apocalypse is far from over…
Bzzt! Time's up. Thanks for having me, and I hope you enjoy
REVELATION.

Description:
A fallen angel with a mission and a medical
examiner who's lost her faith are fighting for their souls in a glittering,
near-future Manhattan
Blind faith is for fools. That's what Dr. Morgan
Sterling believes. And she's going to prove it by curing the zombie plague
ravaging her city's slums. She's certain it's not a sign of the End of Days,
but a nasty disease—until an angel appears in her morgue in a flash of glory.
Luniel is not just a fallen angel. He's a powerful
warrior sworn to fight evil in hopes of a chance at redemption. He's after the
demon princes who are stealing the seven vials of holy wrath which, when
perverted, will unleash eternal hell on earth.
To stop the plague, Luniel needs Morgan's help, and
her faith. But Morgan believes science is their salvation. If the zombie plague
is a demonic curse—and if Luniel is true—he’ll have to prove it. Even if he
loses his heart to true love or his soul to Hell...
Excerpt:
White light
erupted, brighter than any flashbulb.
She gasped,
dazzled. Breeze ruffled her hair. Her elbow hit the trolley, and the camera
jolted from her fingers.
A hand
gripped her arm, steadying her. A man’s voice, deep and unfamiliar. “Sorry,
lady. I didn’t think anyone would be here. Are you—oh, shit.”
Her vision
cleared, and she scrabbled on the floor for her camera. “Jesus, you scared the
hell outta . . . oh!” She looked up, and fell right back onto
her ass, her nerves in disarray.
Whoa. Not
just tall, or big. More, in every way compared
to . . . well, compared to a normal man.
This guy
wasn’t normal.
Black hair,
blacker than soot and wilder than music. Blue eyes, hotter and deeper than
summer sky, luminous pale skin, long dark lashes any woman would kill for. Arms
thicker than her thighs in a dark shirt with no sleeves, strong wrists that
made her weak, hands that could crush rocks. And his thighs in those
jeans . . . long, powerful, rippling as he moved.
His face
was familiar, she realized. Those carved cheekbones and, umm, luscious lips.
The bird man. Only Birdy was blond, and this guy was dark
and . . . tasty.
His gaze
lasered onto hers, relentless, and she shivered. He looked dangerous. Driven.
Not a patient man.
Morgan
scrambled up, struggling to keep her mind on the issues. This was Babylon, the
psycho-killer capital. Well-adjusted guys didn’t break into morgues
after-hours. But how Mr. Huge-dark-and-oh-by-the-way-totally-hot had gotten in
here was beside the point. So was how easy it’d be for a guy his size to tear
her limb from limb, or worse.
He’d seen
Birdy’s body. She couldn’t call security. Not yet. Not before she’d preserved
the evidence.
She licked
her lips. “Um. Hi. I was just . . .”
He strode
up to the trolley, and his fingers clenched the edge, hard enough to dent the
steel. On drugs. That explained the crazy swirl in his eyes. “You found my
brother,” he said stiffly. “I guess asking how he died is redundant.”
