Teaser Tuesday!

 

It's a new week and I've got a stack on my TBR list. 

I had a few adventures this morning and picked up a new book at the store. Den of Vipers by K.A. Knight has been on my TBR list for a while. So when I saw this beautiful edition I couldn't pass it up. 

I also picked up Carrot Cake donuts at the cute little orchard just down the street from my house. They are the best carrot cake donuts. The munchkin I think was a little bummed that I didn't wake her up but it's nice to run and get things done just me. 

I'm starting off my morning enjoying my tasty vanilla latte with my carrot cake donut. 

I'm listening To the Great Zoo of China by Matthew Reilly it's a re-read for me but it's been a few year. I read and loved it in 2015 so it's a perfect choice for my bingo challenge. 

I'm reading Finding the Forward Part Two by Jane Handler and loving it.

“Absolutely. We’re going to compare kofta Recipes,” I told her, as I got into the front seat of the SUV. 

“Oooh, A cook-off? I’m in. Especially if you’re making grandpa’s recipe.” Mercy was a great sous chef, and decent in the kitchen herself. 

“Oh, I am,” I replied. Baba’s omega dad had taught me to make it when I was little.

“If you really want to thank me, you’ll take Krav Maga lessons.” Alex arched an eyebrow, and I laughed softly, grateful for the small break. It’d been a heavy night

“Okay, but you have to sit for a portrait with me.”

The idea came to me as a whim, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized I’d never wanted to photograph someone as much as I wanted to photograph Alex. I wanted to peel back those layers and reveal the fire I knew beat within that cold, beautiful chest.

Alex’s nostrals flared. “You’re negotiating with me.”

“Yes.” I held my breath, hoping, praying…

“Fine. One session.”

I couldn’t hold back my smile.

He’s no fairy tale king.

Levi

Here, little princess. I'm your king.

You have three rules.

Bow. Break. Bend the knee.

Meanwhile, his best friend is the surly new equipment manager always riding my case. Worst of all, I’ve got an uncooperative goalie who thinks I can’t tell he’s hiding an injury!

This is my chance to prove myself, and I’m not risking it for anything. But with one unexpected night, one secret revealed, these men are ready to test all my limits. I can’t fall for a player…let alone three. But if love is a game, these guys are playing to win.

My brain won’t let me sleep. It churns through what I witnessed tonight over and over, replaying Helix’s words in my head like an endless refrain.

Synopsis

She's been a bad girl...

They’ve been summoned for a reckoning.

Queen Lauriel hoards wealth and persecutes anyone with magic. She even cancels the Midwinter Glee festival, claiming that it wastes the Crown's money. But one cold night, the Wild Hunt rides across the sky, led by three majestic Fae. They've been called to teach the Queen a lesson, and if she can't learn it by their deadline, her throne won't be the only thing she'll lose.

For the three riders, visiting the Queen is a welcome reprieve from their existence as bodiless spirits. But if they fail in their task, their place in the Wild Hunt is at risk, and the alternative is a far worse fate.

Three ghost riders...

One chance to change.

This book is a standalone spinoff of the Wicked Darlings series. It's a spicy fantasy-romance retelling of "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, with a female main character and three hunky Fae spirits.

Trigger/content warnings will be available in the front matter of the book and on the author's website.
