Protected by Stone by Cynthia Brint

From New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Cynthia Brint:

Farra’s life is in shambles. She’s lost her parents, lost her job and she’s about to lose her apartment. So when Grault, the sharp featured dark-eyed stranger who shows up on her doorstep in the middle of the night, informs her she just inherited a house from a grandmother she never knew, she thinks her prayers are answered.

Little does ordinary Farra know that her grandmother was a witch and her house was really a hotel for strange, ethereal creatures. Headstrong and practical, she dives in and runs the place her own way — much to the concern of Grault, who knows that secrets breed in the very shadows of the living, breathing house. With his own secrets to hide, can he protect this stubborn, beautiful, frustrating human that he’s falling in love with?

Protected by Stone is 295 pages of whimsical, urban fantasy mixed up in the shadowy embrace of steamy romance.

Contains content for ages 17+

What inspired you to write your book?

Movies in the style of Miyazaki. I love slice of life, small town feel kind of stories!

Here is a short sample from the book:

The burst of heat on my face was surprising. I’d exploded out of the hall and into a wide room lush with greenery.
Falling to my knees, I hung my head under my curtain of hair. It’d come loose in my escape, dark strands tickling my cheeks. Through confused eyes that ached from sweat and strain, I looked up. To my amazement, I saw a giant emerald dome arching above.
‘I’m in a greenhouse.’
How had I stumbled upon such a beautiful place? It WAS beautiful, though the more I looked, the overgrowth and wildness became clear. It was a garden run amok, untended for what felt to be years.
I didn’t stand yet, but I sat up enough to gaze around easier. I could see roses, crawling vines, and the ground under me was grass thick as cotton candy. In the middle, I spotted a tiny bridge of faded red. It crossed a long stream clogged with moss.
That was where I spotted him.
Still as a statue, his skin glistened, ashen marble in the green light. Broad shoulders that displayed their strength, a curving spine digging through rows of muscle.
He was bare from the waist up, perched on the end of the bridge furthest from me and facing away. On his shoulder blades, I spotted what had to be the most elaborate winged tattoos ever.
Dark as coal, they reminded me of a bat’s. They went all the way down to his lower back, partially brushing his ribs, and certainly brushing my blood enough to make it flare.
Grault.
Grault, as still as ever, but more exposed than I would have imagined on my own. I didn’t need to see his face to know it was him. That flesh, his hair, I was sure.
But what was he doing?
He must have sensed me, maybe my breathing was audible in my rush of confusing emotions. From panicked to dazzled, thinking was a chore.
Turning his head fast enough I worried about whiplash, Grault stared at me with disbelief. “Miss Blooms? What are you doing here?”

    One taste is never enough…

    Spencer Waller’s main purpose in life is to protect and serve. After spending years in the military, he gets a coveted spot on the Secret Service detail protecting the president. Spence doesn’t have time for women or all the work having a relationship with one requires. But just because he isn’t looking for a lady doesn’t mean he can’t appreciate a beautiful one when he sees her.

    And he makes it a point to see one in particular every single day.

    Elle Bond has literally chopped and fried her way to the top of the food chain. Earning a coveted position in the White House as the president’s personal chef, she figures her professional life can only get better. Her personal life, on the other hand, could use a little bit of an overhaul, and because of that, she tries to ignore the charm-dripping cookie thief every time he comes into her kitchen. After all, she knows better than anyone that just one taste of something good is never enough.

    One night after work, Elle is assaulted, threatened, and given an ultimatum. She can’t go to the police, and she sure as hell can’t do what she was ordered.

    But she has to. Or else.

    Pale, shaken, and scared to death, Elle confides in Spence, and his protective instincts take over. Together, Elle and Spencer have to uncover a sinister plot and stop it before someone ends up dead.

  • Reverb by J. Cafesin

    0 out of 5

    James Whren is brilliant, beautiful, rich, and taken—with his genius for creating music. Desired by many, he commits to no one but his muse. On the eve of his brother’s funeral his father shatters his life, and James is left abandoned in hell with no one real to save him.

    Until Elisabeth, and her son, Cameron.

    Reverb is a love story, a psychological thriller paced with romantic suspense. Spun from The Magus (John Fowles), also about a man who learns to love someone other than himself, and way beyond 50 Shades of Gray (E.L. James), Reverb is told like Crime and Punishment, modern, tight, dark, edgy verging on sharp. It’s like nothing you’ve read, guaranteed.

    5/5 Stars / Top Pick! “This is one of those stories that pulls you in immediately and has you frantically turning the pages to see what happens next.”–Diana Coyle, Night Owl Reviews
