Book Description:
“He’s destroying me—us. I need him like my next
breath, yet I’m suffocating.”
An
unrequited love that has ripped her to pieces.
Delara has
loved Waleron for over a century. Their intense chemistry is sensual, gripping,
irresistible. But tragedy struck, and after sixty-one years of believing he was
dead, Waleron returns a tortured man. He claims the man she loves is dead, yet
the undeniable sexual tension still pulls them together.
“I am no longer the man you love, maitagarri. I
am incapable of it.”
Waleron
has given his oath to protect the Senses. He will sacrifice everything for
them. But there is one Senses he has vowed to protect more than any
other—Delara. He will do anything to make certain she is safe, even if it means
he must deny her the love they once shared.
She is the
hunted.
Delara’s
life is in jeopardy and Waleron will do anything to protect her. But he never
suspected that Xamien, the man he brings to help protect her is way more
important to her than he ever knew.
Torn
between two men and hunted by another, Delara must fight her hardest
battle—herself.
About the Author:
I am Xamien’s secret lover. Well, in my head I am
and since I’m single this is completely allowed. Some of you may ask, who is
Xamien, don’t worry you will meet him soon enough, but no falling in love with
him. He is all mine.
Writing books is a fantastic way to have
adventures that are impossible to have otherwise. I mean do you really want to
fall in love with Waleron? He is so unstable and would never pick up after your
dogs or clean the litter box. Not to mention the fact that he is always out
killing disgusting grave robbing bug people.
Curling up with a good book and losing yourself to
another time and place is the greatest reward. Being able to feel a character’s
emotions, their fears, pain and love. Now that is incredible. I relish in the
books that stay with me long after they have ended. This is what I strive for
in my writing. To give the readers, and myself, an escape into another world,
my world.
I have been writing since I was twelve. My
parents, sorry mom and dad, would send me to my room for an hour every night to
do homework, and instead I wrote stories. Oops, guess that is why I did so bad
in math.
I have never stopped writing since then and never
will. It’s like an addiction, but a good one. I adore stepping into the shoes
of a character and deciding their fate. The characters are why I write. I want
to fall in love with them (even the bad ones), so that I care about what
happens to them in a story. If I can’t care about the characters then why
bother with the story.
I live in Toronto with a menagerie of pets that
keep me on my toes.

Guest Post
I asked the author about a playlist for when she's writing certain scenes, etc. I know we as readers often have songs in our heads as we're reading, but I love knowing what the authors are "hearing" as they write! So...take it away Cindy Paterson!
Music Playlist
Hey Tiffany, Cindy Paterson here!
I love my music big time. I also can’t
write without something in the background and whatever is playing has to
coincide with what I’m writing. I have playlists for the different scenes and I
like to change them up every so often so they don’t become dull.
Action Scenes
He smashed his fist through the glass French door and blood
dripped from the cuts in his skin. He didn’t appear to notice. “He’s dead.
Dead, damn it.” The glass crunched beneath his feet as he came towards her. He
grabbed her by the shoulders, fingers digging into her flesh.

Emotional Scenes
“He promised,” she whispered. “I can’t let him...” The
sobs overtook her and she dug at the gravel, pawing like a wild animal trapped
in hell, the stones tearing at her skin, imbedding beneath her fingernails. “We
were going to—to go away. I love him. Please, I love him. I can’t lose him.”

His finger
hooked the silk black material of her panties and he heard her sharp intake of
breath. She placed her hands on his belt, released the leather from its loop
and then undid the buckle. He swore he was going to come right then and there
as her knuckles nudged his erection.

EXCERPT
I also have an excerpt for you, my dear blog readers! And a giveaway!
“Eavesdropping?” Before he could
defend, or more than likely not bother, she continued, “Why didn’t you say
something? You said you’d tell him.”
He raised both hands in the air as if to ward of any further assault. “I
did, Kitten. He refused.” The conversation had been simple—Xamien volunteered
to stay and help protect Delara and hunt Tarek in order for her to stay here.
Waleron’s answer was no and he hung up on him. Xamien seriously was beginning
to not like the guy.
Her eyes narrowed. “Well you’re a Taldeburu, Trace to the Realm and tell
the Wraiths.”
“A bit dramatic, don’t you think? Besides, it’s his decision,” Xamien
replied. “You’re part of his Talde, not mine. I can offer suggestions, but
nothing more. Ultimately, you should listen to him.”
“He doesn’t own me.” Her hair was up in a wide clip with a few tendrils
wet and hanging down the back of her black V-neck shirt. Her feet were bare and
there were still droplets of water clinging to her skin. Sexy. And off limits
while he was here.
Waleron did own her in a way. He was her boss and he held her heart, so
yeah, whether she wanted to believe it or not Waleron did own her, at least
partially. But it wasn’t enough to stop her from sleeping with whoever she
chose or from disappearing on occasion.
Xamien casually leaned up against the wall, ankles crossed, arms
matching. “We could be spending our time better than this, Kitten. If you come
to Spain, I promise to make you scream at least three times a day.”
She huffed, blowing air from her mouth and her jagged strands billowing
away from her face. God, he adored the way her upper lip quivered when she was
angry. He wondered if she knew she did that. Probably not. He was an observer
of people and often noticed the smallest of motions. Even her baby toes failed
to touch the ground when she stood, small and delicate keeping the sensitive
skin off the cold ceramic tiles.
Finding her irresistible, he pushed away from the wall and approached
her, his stance casual to avoid adding to the tension she already held within
her muscles. She backed away until her hips hit the narrow hallway table that
held a single stainless steel bowl. The jarring tipped over the bowl and it
clanged loudly.
“Xamien. Don’t you dare. Not here.”
“I can’t help myself, Kitten.” Before she escaped, which was viable
considering the word run pounded in
her head, he grabbed her around the waist and dragged her against him. The feel
of her body was delectable and it took everything in him to abstain from taking
her right there in the foyer. “Damn woman, I can’t be in the same room as you
without wanting to fuck you.”
She was tracking scents in the house, her head shifting in each direction
while at the same time pushing at his chest. “Seriously Xamien, this isn’t
funny. Let me go.”
“A kiss.” No way was he going to survive longer than one more night
without taking her to his bed. Without waiting for her reply, he grabbed the
back of her head and met her mouth with flurry, tasting the sweetness and spice
as his lips roamed over the luscious warmth. There was no urging required,
Delara sunk into him within seconds, the desire flooding them as everything
around them was forgotten.
