Here is a short sample from the book:
From the story Moonbeam by Sienna Saint-Cyr
“What do you want with me?” My question was more accusatory than curious.
“Just your company.” He smiled. “You’re not like the others.”
“The other what?”
“Humans.”
I took a deep breath and stopped walking. Ray jumped when I spun around to face him,
but then relaxed his shoulders. His pale face made my insides stir, making me equally as angry as I was turned on.
“And just what the hell is that supposed to mean?” I narrowed my eyes.
“You’re feisty,” he announced, somewhat nonchalant. “I like that. You’re pretty too.
Nice arms, tone thighs, petite face, and you don’t need to wear makeup, honestly. You’re perfect without it.”
“Heh…” I didn’t even know what to say to him. Flattery, no matter how much I hated it,
seemed to be proving more successful when it came to him. If that wasn’t irritating enough, he still hadn’t answered my question. I crossed my arms, refusing to move until he told me more.
Ray shimmied to the side of the trail, shaking his head. “Are you not afraid of me?”
“I am,” I admitted, “but I’m not stupid. You’re using some kind of weird emotion control
on me, and it’s making me less afraid. Even though it should be making me more afraid. I just want to know what you want from me. Why did you promise the mayor you’d tell him anything he wanted to know when your true intent is to flee?”
His grin grew to the width of his face. The emerald eyes I’d already come to hate, also
made my breath catch. Ray reached for my hand, and suddenly, I found myself incapable of moving.
“I’m not what you think I am, Mina.” He lifted my hand to his face, and kissed the back
of it.
Shivers ran down my spine, rushing straight between my legs again. I could hardly
breathe. My eyes began to shut at his touch, as if he had the ability to control my every move. Just as I was about to fall into him, collapsing under his embrace, he withdrew, and I was able to regain my composure.
I felt my lashes fluttering like a silly schoolgirl. I was thirty. No man should ever have
that kind of control over a woman. This one seemed to, though.I pulled the blonde wisps of hair from my face and stared at him.
“What are you, then?”

First of Spring by Kelsey Jordan
Caution: The Gardinian World Novels are a trip into a paranormal world where the gods of Gardas are real, the sex can be downright raunchy, and more than a few four letter words litter the page.
Forged from a childhood filled with bloodshed and death, Trent had been raised with a blade in his hands. He lives the life of a warrior and carves through his enemies as if seeking redemption for his mother’s ultimate sacrifice. As the acting Mikko of the Order of Rockys, Trent leads the most dominant Lycans in the world. For that reason alone, he has no use or understanding for those who wallow in their vulnerabilities, rather than exercise their power over their own destiny.
Aryana doesn’t dream of everlasting love. Her life is ruled by a song that echoes from the halls of Oblivia, a fate that came to her under the thundering hooves of the Mares of Night. She is going to die, but with no clue as to when or why, Aryana is forced to do everything she can to negate the haunting words of fate,
“Weakness dies and you are weak.”
But the gods are merciless in their meddling in the lives of powerful mortals and the ones they love. How far will Trent have to fall for the weak female who steps in his life and claims his soul?

Sunspots by Karen S. Bell @KarenSueBell
Sunspots follows the healing journey of a young woman thrown into the horror of losing a spouse. It is a story of loss and redemption and the ghosts that haunt our lives and our houses. A love story, a romance, and a mystery of sorts, Sunspots, is above all an exploration into the psyche and emotional arc of the MC and it follows no formula.
Snapshot:
“One can never be, and should never be, smug about life,” says Aurora Goldberg. An aspiring New York actress who has never realized her dreams, Aurora keeps herself afloat by doing odd temp jobs where her rich fantasy life helps her get through the day. Aurora sees the world through the lens of characters in literature and film and these fictionalizations are woven into her interpretation of reality. On one of her temp assignments she meets Jake Stein, a man who could “charm the skin off a snake” and she decides to follow her destiny as his wife in Austin, Texas. But Jake’s sudden death after two short years disintegrates her world and Aurora must reevaluate her life and let go of a love that has become an obsession.
Sunspots takes the reader on a journey of high emotion as Aurora uncovers Jake’s secret life and her own internal conflicts as she matures to self-awareness. Narrated by Aurora, the novel’s tone vacillates from irreverent humor to solemnity as she relates her previous life with Jake and her present challenges. The title refers to the solar maximum which became the backdrop for Aurora’s conception when her hippy parents went to Canada to observe the Aurora Borealis. In name and in spirit, Aurora is connected to the observable and unobservable energy around us.
With the help of friends, family, and the ghost of Viola Parker (her home’s original owner), Aurora accepts her fate and the secrets revealed about Jake’s true character. She realizes that in this life she will finally break the cycle of pain caused by her love for this man, Jake Stein, through the centuries.
Embedded in the novel is the question of the afterlife and paranormal events abound. The incidents are left vague enough so the reader is not certain if they are external events witnessed by Aurora or exist only in her own mind. My approach to the extraordinary has always been with keen interest and skepticism. Just as we cannot see unaided that at the quantum level solid objects consist of vast spaces and swirling particles, so too, we define our human existence with only our limited five senses, three dimensional orientation, and our perceived space/time continuum. So then, what can one say with any certainty is reality?
