About Sarah Cass

Sarah Cass' world is regularly turned upside down by her three special needs

kids and loving mate, so she breaks genre barriers; dabbling in horror, straight

fiction and urban fantasy.  She loves historicals and romance, and characters

who are real and flawed, so she writes to understand what makes her fictional

people tick.  And she lives for a happy ending - eventually. And enough twists

to make it look like she enjoys her title of Queen of Trauma Drama a little too

much.

An ADD tendency leaves her with a variety of interests that include singing,

dancing, crafting, cooking, and being a photographer. She fights through the

struggles of the day, knowing the battles are her crucible; she may emerge

scarred, but always stronger.  The rhythms to her activities drive her words

forward, pushing her through the labyrinths of the heart and the nightmares of

the mind, driving her to find resolutions to her characters' problems.

While busy creating worlds and characters as real to her as her own family,

she leads an active online life with her blog, Redefining Perfect, which gives a

real and sometimes raw glimpse into her life and art.  You can most often find

her popping out her 140 characters in Twitter speak, and on Facebook.

I'm Leigh Stone, I live in Northern Ireland, just outside the capital city of Belfast, in a house I share with my teenage daughter, and our personal zoo (1 Labrador mix, 3 cats, and 2 rabbits!).

I'm first and foremost a reader, and a fast reader at that, often devouring books in a single sitting over a period of hours. I have always had aspirations to write and become a published author, but as a teenager I was encouraged to look for a different profession, as being an author "wouldn't pay the bills."

It was that reading that lead a friend of mine to suggest that I had read so many of those books that I could probably write my own! It seemed like a good idea, and I thought that I would give it a try :) a few months later Lex's Melody was well underway, and the rest as they say is history!

Prophet: Book One (Princes of Prophecy 1)

Book - Prophet: Book One (Princes of Prophecy 1) 

Author - L.Ann Marie

Blog Tour 

Hosted by Hooked on books & Cherry0Blossoms Promotions

Raised by a father who is somewhat reserved, Dakota Lightfoot finds a whole new world when he is patched in to the Princes of Prophecy. 

With his abilities and natural leadership, he quickly finds his home with this new Brotherhood. 

Jessie LaPonte-James has always known he would be part of a trio, much as his father, Danny, and Kate are, and always believed that Darren would be by his side with Jess Baxter. 

But what happens when one of the three isn’t as in-tune with the plan as the others? 

This is the story of Jess, Dakota and Jessie.

 <3 

L. Ann started with the Baxters and is working on her third series, The Princes of Prophecy MC. While her books feature ex-SEALs and Badass Bikers, L. Ann is writing about the strong women that these men need in their life to help right the worlds wrongs and help keep their small part of the world safe. The women are extraordinary, strong and determined to make a difference.

The men fight for right in every book. Yes they kill people. Yes they shoot at the bad guys feet to cause them pain. Yes they throw tampons at each other regularly.
That being said, they do these things while stopping human trafficking, bringing their Club into legitimate businesses, fight gangs to keep drugs away from their town and kids, keep women sheltered safely while trying to stop domestic abuse. These are men that don't leave a Brother behind. They don't treat women as possessions and they don't cheat. Respect takes on an honorable meaning. Women and kids are cherished. Everyone is looked out for.
L. Ann has made the perfect Club, tackled the taboo subjects and made it easy to imagine living in a world where your protection comes from the SEALS and Bikers.

With readers writing about rereading the series over and over, she feels like she's told her characters stories in a way that would make them proud.
Every book will make you laugh, every book will make you angry for the wrong that happens in the world. Every book will make you cry for the pain that a character feels.
Don't take my word for it. Pick one up and try it out. The Baxters book 1 is FREE. MC Book 1 is .99. Give them a shot and Happy Reading!

"How about twenty questions?" I ask.

"I hate twenty questions."

"How about five questions, then?"

He cracks a smile and lifts an eyebrow. "How about three?"

"Deal!"

"So, have I mentioned how much I fucking hate Tuesdays?" Brandi's voice cuts right between us. Xander

looks relieved.

Me? Not so much. "Damn it, Brandi!"

"What?"

"Oh nothing. Can you grab me Fireball though? Pretty please. Two of them." I look at Xander. "You're

taking one."

"Three. I am too, bitch! Fuck Tuesdays!" Brandi calls out from across the bar as she begins filling the shot

glasses from the Fireball chiller.

"Question one. You said you’ve been traveling for a while now, right? Do you ever get tired of it? Ever

feel like settling?”

"Damn. Starting out with the heavy hitters, huh?" He eyes the shot glasses as if hoping it will somehow

make them fill faster.

"Need me to go easier on you? Maybe a finger or two first before I go in with the whole fist?"

He looks at me in disbelief. "Did you really just say that?"

"Just answer the question, two fingers or three?"

Excerpt:

I pulled my car next to Dorian’s and turned off the engine. I couldn’t believe I’d

actually come here. I was scared shitless to let someone in, especially now when all

my attention needed to focus on one thing: my dad. Shaking my thoughts loose, I

grabbed my purse, exited the car, and made my way over to where Dorian was

waiting for me.

Stormy clouds drifted across the sky, hiding the moon and darkening the

neighborhood. Dorian stood at the base of a street lamp where it illuminated his

features, softening the rugged angles of his face. He was attractive in a rough-

around-the- edges kind of way, but now – as I let myself really look at him – I thought

he was the most beautiful thing I’d ever seen.

He left me breathless.

“We should go up,” he said. “It’s getting cold.”

He took my hand and led me in the direction of his home. God, his home. The place

where he lived. I was going to see where he slept, ate, and took showers.

Shut up… Don’t think about showers.

We took the stairs two floors up until we reached a wood door. After unlocking it, he

waited for me to go in before him. As I passed the threshold, he said in an awful

British accent, “Welcome to my humble abode.”

I looked back at him and grinned. I found myself loving playful Dorian. “Why thank

you.”

When he turned on the lights, I sucked in a breath. I was here, and there was no

turning back. I gave myself a moment to focus on the apartment. Floor to ceiling

windows consumed the entire back wall. The living area was an open concept,

providing a perfect view of the whole space. Dorian’s apartment was nothing I had

expected. A Victorian chandelier with a modern twist hung from the ceiling over a

rustic dining room table. And even though the space was open, it had a cozy feel. The

warm tones of dark blues and light creams contrasted together beautifully to make

the room feel inviting.

And beautiful.

“So, what do you think?” he asked hesitantly.

I eyed him as he looked everywhere but at me.

“I really like it.” Then I added, “I like it so much I’m afraid I might never leave.”

His eyes landed on mine in a flash and a smile spread across his full lips. “I’d love

that,” he whispered.

He took a step forward and I took a step back. I knew that if he caught me, it would

be the end of our friendship. I would cave. I would fall into his strong arms and never

let go. I wasn’t ready for him.

He approached me, his pace steady and his steps sure. His eyes were fixed on mine,

making it hard for me to breathe.

When I felt my back hit the wall behind me, I knew there was nowhere for me to go.

I drew in a sharp breath.

Game over.

Waves of heat washed over me when he placed his hands on the wall beside my

head. My tumultuous heart threatened to break out of my chest.

“Did you mean that?” he asked, his deep voice in my ear, rattling my thoughts.

My eyes fluttered closed. “M-mean what?”

“The song. Did you really mean that?”

His finger touched my chin and lifted my head. “Open your eyes.”

I shook my head. I wouldn’t be able to control what he would see reflected in them.

And I had a feeling my eyes would tell him everything my mouth was afraid to say

out loud.

That I was afraid.

That the world kept beating me down and there was nothing I could do to stop it.

That I didn’t know how to help my family.

That I wanted him. Wanted to be with him.

“Open your eyes, sweetheart.”

I gritted my teeth, refusing to give in.

Heart beats and erratic breaths were the only sounds in the room. Then I heard him

mumble, “Fuck it,” and without warning, Dorian’s lips crashed against mine. My eyes

flew open and then they fluttered closed again when my hands found their place on

his chest. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to push him away or pull him closer. He kissed me

deeply and with purpose, like he had been starving for it. Then his touch became

gentle. The pad of his finger ran along my cheek, and then I felt the brush of his lips

against mine as the kiss softened, caressing them lightly. When he bit my bottom lip,

I gasped. He soothed the stinging pain with his tongue, slowly grazing it until it

found its way back into my open mouth. His hand traveled to my thigh, lifting it up

and wrapped it around his waist. He pulled me closer, until I was glued to his hard

body. With my other leg, I had to stand on my tiptoes, because he was so damn tall. I

could feel his hardness on my stomach.

He was hard for me.

My mind awoke from its daze, and I began to realize what was happening. Even

though I loved the feel of his lips on mine, I was mad. How could he do that? How

could he kiss me without my permission, after he said he would only be my friend?

After he promised me we would take it slow.

Suddenly, I was furious.

I shoved him but he was a brick wall. He didn’t feel my pathetic attempts to push

him away, so I pushed him harder and punched him across the chest. He brought my

thigh down, grabbed my hands and pinned them to the wall above my head. He was

like a man possessed. It felt like nothing in this world would make him stop kissing

me.

Not even me.

An internal battle took place inside my head. I wanted to kick his ass, to punch him

in the face for taking what he wanted without asking. For making me give in, for

surrendering myself to the emotions that overwhelmed me. But even more than

that, I wanted to cling to him as my heart stepped up its pace while his tongue

circled around mine.

I needed more.

I lunged forward, but my captive hands prevented me from getting closer. I kissed

him back with eagerness, my tongue connecting with his. His hands let go of mine

and he cupped my face. We kissed as if we’d done this a million times before.

His fingers moved along my jaw, then up until they were buried in the roots of my

hair. He tightened his grip and pulled me even closer, swallowing me whole.

My hands were busy doing their own touching. I began at the base of his stomach,

feeling his abs flexing under my touch. My fingers rose until they reached his strong

and broad chest, up to his collarbone, until they touched the scar on his chin. I

traced its path, feeling the raw and carved place where smooth skin use to be. I tore

my mouth away and kissed the jagged lines. He needed to know that it was a part of

him and he was beautiful to me, scars and all.

His body stilled, but I carried on with my inspection. When I was satisfied I hadn’t

missed a spot, I looked up and found him watching me, his eyes wet with unshed

tears. They shined with sadness, acceptance, warmth, and affection.

I watched him intently as I braced myself to expose my soul to him. It was time. I

would not run away anymore.

I opened my mouth and said, “I meant every word.”

Author Info:

I am twenty-six years old and I live in a small town in Israel.

My family and I were going through some difficult times not too long ago and one

day I was confiding in my best-friend about everything. I didn’t know how to deal

with it all. Then she suggested I should write a book about it. I looked at her as if she

had grown another head and dismissed the idea on the spot. But the seed had been

planted, and day after day, little by little, without realizing it – I started writing.

That’s how Underwater was born.

I found writing to be cathartic, healing.  Something that helped my mind unwind and

put things in perspective. I discovered a magical world where I traveled between

imagination and reality. Writing became my home and I never wanted to leave.

I love to read, write, listen to music, edit videos, and play the guitar. I am always

looking for the next creative thing. I also like a good movie and a glass of wine.

Synopsis



He’s silent––but his touch speaks louder than words.



At first sight, Savannah is drawn to the harsh appeal of a man who refuses to

talk to her. Keenan’s hard stare is arrogant and unapologetic. The quirk of his

sensuous lips is cocky and in control.



But there’s more. There’s something deeper he’s trying to hide behind those

steely grey eyes––a slight hint of vulnerability which captures her intrigue.



She’d been warned, told that his silence hides a myriad of lies capable of

affecting her career and relationships with loved ones. Only she can't help

herself. Testing Keenan's defenses is an addiction she can't deny.



Falling in lust is easy. Learning his secrets comes with a price. The

cost? Her broken heart.
