You can buy a copy HERE.

Amazon Product Description:
Bloom the weed of temptation and expire the great garden of life. Bloom the flower of sacrifice and sustain the great garden in strife. The boy who follows death meets the girl who could cause the apocalypse. Krishani thinks he's doomed until he meets Kaliel, the one girl on the island of Avristar who isn't afraid of him. She's unlike the other girls, she swims with merfolk, talks to trees and blooms flowers with her touch. What he doesn't know is that she's a flame, one of nine individually hand crafted weapons, hidden in the body of a seemingly harmless girl. Nobody has fallen in love with a flame until now. She becomes Krishani's refuge from the dreams of death and the weather abilities he can't control. Striking down thousand-year-old trees with lightning isn't something he tries to do, it just happens. When the Ferryman dies, Krishani knows he's the next and a lifetime of following death is his destiny. And Kaliel can't come with him. The Valtanyana are hunting the flames, the safest place for her is Avristar. Krishani can't bear to leave her, and one innocent mistake grants the Valtanyana access to their mystical island. They're coming for Kaliel, and they won't stop until every last living creature on Avristar is dead. She has to choose--hide, face them, or awaken the flame and potentially destroy herself.

Farsighted by Emlyn Chand
Alex Kosmitoras’s life has never been easy. The only other student who will talk to him is the school bully, his parents are dead-broke and insanely overprotective, and to complicate matters even more, he’s blind. Just when he thinks he’ll never have a shot at a normal life, a new girl from India moves into town. Simmi is smart, nice, and actually wants to be friends with Alex. Plus she smells like an Almond Joy bar. Yes, sophomore year might not be so bad after all.
Unfortunately, Alex is in store for another new arrival—an unexpected and often embarrassing ability to “see” the future. Try as he may, Alex is unable to ignore his visions, especially when they begin to suggest that Simmi is in danger. With the help of the mysterious psychic next door and new friends who come bearing gifts of their own, Alex must embark on a journey to change his future.

Kiss and Tell Blog Tour: Marilu Mann

This 9 day, 9 author virtual book tour is presented by Bewitching Book Tours.

You can see the tour schedule by clicking HERE.

Welcome to The Wormhole and the Kiss and Tell Tour.

I am pleased to bring you Marilu Mann.

Marilu Mann brings the steaminess of the Louisiana bayous to her books and she doesn't stop there. Marilu's willing to travel to the frozen tundra of Wisconsin to heat up those northern nights and melt a little snow.

She'll also circle the world to Wales, Ireland, Scotland and back just to bring you books that make you sweat.

Currently residing in Texas, Marilu is an avid armchair traveler. Her sexy shifters will set your blood to boiling in no time. Owned by one Diva Teen and various animals, Marilu keeps busy writing the novels her readers beg for.  Marilu Mann is a team of two authors. :)

Changing Focus by Marilu Mann

Reluctant to be a Pack Alpha, Micah Keeps Vigil has no hesitation about what he wants in a mate. A strong, intelligent, passionate and, most importantly, shifter female. He’s found her in photojournalist Olivia. She’s come to Micah’s lodge to write about winter sports.

Olivia isn’t expecting a gorgeous man who encourages her wilder nature with a sizzling erotic encounter in her room. Nor does she anticipate the amount of steam they generate in the sauna. With Micah’s hot body and Olivia’s innate sensuality they generate enough heat to melt the snow around the lodge.

One problem—Olivia isn’t aware she’s a shifter. She believes her vivid dreams are just that—dreams—and that her blackouts can be controlled with medication. There’s no way she’s been running through the woods on four feet! Micah has to convince Olivia to accept herself—paws and all—or lose her forever.

...read on for a little taste of what you'll find in this book...

“What size are you?”

“Excuse me?” She bristled immediately. He moved closer, touching her shoulder.

“You’ll need warmer clothes, specifically long underwear. I keep a stock here for all my guests, there’s a closet full on the second floor. You’ll need to find your size and dress in layers. It’s the key to keeping your body temperature regulated in extremely cold weather.”

“Oh.” Smiling sheepishly, she met his eyes again. “A medium¬—unless they run big. Then I take a small.”

“I’ll let you decide.” He slid his hand down her arm, squeezed her hand then released her to lead the way out of the kitchen and up the main staircase. Olivia couldn’t help but watch him move. He was the most graceful man she’d ever seen in her life. And the way his jeans hugged his butt had to be nearly criminal.

“Here’s the closet.” He opened a door and stepped aside. She moved forward into the walk–in closet and laughed. It looked as though it held every possible color and size of long underwear. Each shelf was neatly labeled with the sizes it contained.

She glanced to the other side and laughed again. Those shelves held bathrobes and bathing suits. Men’s, women’s and even a few children’s sizes graced the shelves here. Vibrant colors and enough variety of styles to satisfy even the most hard–to–please customer.

“Bathing suits?” She tipped her head back at him.

Micah nodded. “Some people don’t realize we have a sauna and whirlpool. When they come for the winter, they’re pleasantly surprised, but usually unprepared. Of course, I have no objection to nudity in the sauna. It just depends on who else is here at the time and what their feelings are. I’m sure you’d look good in nothing.”

Olivia’s breath jumped out on a gasp. Had he really said that? He reached around her and pulled a couple of neatly packaged sets of long underwear off the shelf. “Try these. Just leave the ones that don’t fit in your room and I’ll take care of them later.”

Leading the way back out of the closet and down the hall toward her room, he spoke over his shoulder to her. “I’m going to go upstairs and finish dressing. I’ll meet you in the main room in thirty minutes.”

“Micah?” When he turned, she smiled. “Thank you.”

“My pleasure. Remember, layers. The long underwear, cotton, wool or flannel shirt and pants if you have them, at least two pair of socks, wool is best. I have hats, gloves and scarves downstairs in another closet.”

“You really are prepared, aren’t you?”

“I try to be.” He nodded at her again then turned and moved quickly up the stairs leading to the third floor. Olivia entered her room, the packages of long underwear clasped to her chest.

Romance in the Wintertime

By Laura Kaye

Thanks for having me here today! I’m one of nine authors celebrating their books as part of the Kiss and Tell Tour. Today, I’m celebrating my November release, North of Need, a fantasy romance based on Greek Mythology, by talking about wintertime romance.

If North of Need hero Owen Winters taught me anything, it was that wintertime can be filled with romance. Owen builds heroine Megan Snow an igloo, has picnics with her inside it, takes her on a playful date to a ski resort where they race one another and warm each other up all day long, and most romantically, shares his elemental power with her when he transforms her into the wind with him and takes her flying. Now, some of that us human types can’t do on our own *grins*, but, still, Owen inspired me think about how to make winter romantic. Here’s what I came up with:

An overnight date or weekend away at a cabin. Nothing says romantic winter getaway like a cabin in the mountains. Fire roaring, bottle of wine, cuddling and snuggling against the cold, snowy weather outdoors. That’s definitely romantic.

Christmas movie marathon. Share a blanket and a bowl of popcorn, or make smores over a living room fire, and snuggle up together on the couch to watch classics like Miracle on 34^th Street, It’s a Wonderful Life, or A Christmas Story. Who can say what will happen under that blanket? *winks*

Go iceskating. Even if you’re not good at it, it’ll have you laughing, hanging on one another, and needing someone to warm up with later. If you fall, you’ll likely fall on each other, and what better way to arrange a little public canoodling?

Go to a tree-lighting ceremony. Little is more magical in the wintertime than the lighting of a Christmas tree. Warm your hands over a toasty bonfire, enjoy the Christmas carols, and snuggle into the arms of the one you love all while taking in the wonderful, heartwarming spirit of the season.

Get dressed up for New Years Eve. Even if you stay at home, you can dance in the privacy of your living room, share a special dinner, and ring in midnight…together. If you go out on the town, dinner, dancing, champagne, and festivities will make for a romantic night you can finish off at home or in a hotel room.

Be kids together. Build a snowman, have a snowball fight, make snow angels, go sledding, or go for a walk on a snowy day. Bringing out your inner child can lead to special memories that can’t help but be filled with winter romance.

Get a massage together. What better way to relax and warm up together than with a couple’s massage? It’s the perfect winter treat!

Take a sleigh ride. Not every community has these of course, but if you do, they make you feel like you’ve stepped back in time as you cuddle under a blanket together, take in the winter sights, and enjoy the jingle of sleigh bells.

What’s your favorite winter date or way to keep warm with the one you love when it’s cold outside?

Thanks for reading! And happy holidays!

Laura Kaye

North of Need by Laura Kaye

Her tears called a powerful snow god to life, but only her love can grant the humanity he craves...

Desperate to escape agonizing memories of Christmas past, twenty-nine-year-old widow Megan Snow builds a snow family outside the mountain cabin she once shared with her husband, realizing too late that she's recreated the very thing she'll never have.

Called to life by Megan's tears, snow god Owen Winters appears unconscious on her doorstep in the midst of a raging blizzard. As she nurses him to health, Owen finds unexpected solace in her company and unimagined pleasure in the warmth of her body, and vows to win her heart for a chance at humanity.

Megan is drawn to Owen's mismatched eyes, otherworldly masculinity, and enthusiasm for the littlest things. But this Christmas miracle comes with an expiration--before the snow melts and the temperature rises, Megan must let go of her widow's grief and learn to trust love again, or she'll lose Owen forever.

Review: Deceive Her with Desire by Nina Pierce

Deceive Her with Desire by Nina Pierce

Book Blurb:

A woman determined to protect her heart…

 Landscaping in Delmont, Maine hasn’t been DEIRDRE TILLING’s only passion. Up until two months ago, it had included a live-in lover. Jilted for the third time in as many years, Deirdre’s decided to give up on love. But a one night stand with a dark haired stranger she met at her new employer’s party may very well thrust her into a world filled with danger and dark secrets.

An agent hell bent on proving himself…

 DEA agent, AYDEN SCOTT, has a lot to prove after a disastrous drug bust in Miami three years earlier that left a member of his team dead. Working undercover as lead investigator, he’s determined to bring down an elusive drug cartel smuggling heroin into central Maine. He’ll use any means necessary to complete his objective, including sleeping with the suspected drug Lord’s landscaper, Deirdre. He just hadn’t expected the feisty redhead to be so much more than long legs and dangerous curves.

One night that will change their lives forever…

 Deirdre and Ayden both thought one sexually explosive romp in the sack would be the end of their relationship. But Deirdre’s arrest for heroin possession and her father’s near-fatal heart attack prompts Ayden to confess his true identity. When Deirdre is kidnapped by the drug cartel and used as a pawn, Ayden is forced to choose between his heart and his mission. The question is…who will survive his decision?

My Thoughts:
Fantastic story! I fell in love with the characters.  Ayden is fabulous, Deirdre is amazing.  I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this one, but I was pulled in and couldn't put it down.  It's a love story, but so much more than that.  It tells a tale of love and loss, deceit and trust, faith and friendship.  It questions what a person is willing to do for someone they love.  I wasn't expecting the twist at the end.  I'm usually good at picking how the plot will play out, but I was so caught up in the romance and the relationships that I wasn't looking for the end to come.  
Well written, edgy and romantic.  I went and bought books 1 and 3 as soon as I read the last page of Deceive Her with Desire ~ can't wait to have time to read them too!

Welcome to The Wormhole and my day on the tour!

It is my great pleasure to feature Nina Pierce!

Award-winning romance author, Nina Pierce, grew up in a house full of readers. So becoming enamored with books was only natural. She discovered romance stories in her early teens, falling hopelessly in love with knights in shining armor and the damsels who saved them.

Eventually, reading about alpha males and the journey to find their happy-ever-after endings wasn’t enough. She needed to pen her own stories of fated loves and soul mates. Nina’s discovered the passionate side of romance with her sexy stories. For her, it’s all about the sweet scent of seduction mixed with the heart warming aroma of romance.

Nina resides in southern New England with her high school sweetheart and soul mate of twenty-seven years, their three grown children and several very spoiled cats who consider her “staff”.

Guest post from Nina Pierce:

I Just Can’t Let Go

Okay, I’m going to admit it … I’m a sloooow writer. Stories don’t just fly from my fingertips. Characters don’t scream their dialogue in my head. I rip every word from my brain, painstakingly getting the scenes on paper. I bribe my muse to stay focused while we wrangle another elusive plot point into submission. To top it off, I’m a pantzer. I’ve tried plotting books, but it just doesn’t work for me. This means it can take a couple of false starts before I understand where my characters intend to go and can interpret exactly what they intend to do when they get there.

By the time I finish a book from the very first action scene to the final “happy-ever-after” my characters have kept me up late, caused me to burn dinner and they always, without any exception, ruin a relaxing shower. But in the months it takes me to write a story we’ve spent so much intimate time together I just can’t seem to let them go. I’ve fallen in love with them even as they’ve fallen in love with each other.

I sit down at the beginning of every book and explain to my new characters that they get only one story. They are not, under any circumstances, allowed to drag me into something that requires more than one book. *sigh* But I’ve never been any good at the tough love thing. Every book I’ve written, with the exception of one novella has prodded me to find the forever loves for the secondary characters and voila! a series is born.

So it shouldn’t have surprised me when three sisters showed up with my muse one day and not only told me they wanted to each be featured in a story, but they wanted their stories to all meld together with a mystery that isn’t complete until the final book is finished.

Wai…what?

A series with each book standing alone and yet … a story that arcs through all of them? Wow! I knew it was going to be a challenge, but these characters wouldn’t let me walk away. The result (besides many sleepless nights) is The Tilling Passions Series.

The second book in this sexy romantic suspense series, DECEIVE HER WITH DESIRE, is now available in most digital formats.
