Her Own Revolution, Book 2 of Château de Verzat

A Woman Fights for Her Legacy as the French Revolution Erupts

Determined to inherit her family’s vineyard, Countess Joliette de Verzat defies society’s rules, only to learn of her illegitimate half-brother, the rightful heir.

A Woman Forges a Treacherous Path to Save Hundreds from the Guillotine

If Geneviève Fouquier-Tinville had the same rights as a man, she wouldn’t have to dress like one. A suspenseful page-turner led by a renegade heroine whose compassion for innocent people leads to both loss and love.

Excerpt

Her Own Revolution, Paris, July 30, 1794

Geneviève attempts to escape arrest

At dawn, I brushed the white dust from my skirts and peeked out from the cellar. I ran through alleys to the back entrance of the Châtelet, crept up the servants’ steps, crossed the hall to the clerk chamber, and stopped to gather my wits. Please, God, help me find the papers I copied. If I could present them to the Tribunal, they would be forced to release Papa.

I edged myself around the doorway and stepped back to see the clerks already at work. Instead of copying, they were sorting documents into piles lining a table before the fireplace where Imberton stood, straight as a pike.

Armand held up a paper. “Roland?” He lifted another. “And Delignon?”

Imberton indicated two piles. Armand deposited the papers and returned to his desk where a stack of documents teetered. I wished Armand had already sailed for America.

Denis, holding folders, called out, “Widow Capet.” Imberton pointed at the tallest pile. Denis deposited the folders and hurried to my father’s office. Denis’s twins were four now, and his wife with child. I hoped he would be safe.

Imberton noticed me. His face reddened as he pointed and shouted, “Guards! Arrest her!

My heartbeat thundered.

“Guards!” Imberton shouted.

I ran for the servants’ stairs. My legs shook so hard, I careened off the walls as I clambered down the steps. Where could I go that was safe? The château, but I’d be stopped at the city barrier. I could no longer use my father’s name—the day I’d dreaded since the first time I used it as protection had arrived. The only way past the barriers was through the tunnels. My skin felt too tight, like it was suffocating me.

I stood panting at the side door. Once I opened it, I’d be exposed. But if I went through the side exit, I could make it to the square and blend in with the market people. I would have to walk past the morgue. The tunnel was dark, lit only by holes in the ceiling protected by metal grates embedded in the streets above, which I had stepped over a hundred times. I’d never traveled the passage, but I’d no better choice.

I wrapped my shawl around my face, took a deep breath, and ran. The moans from prisoners in the dungeon echoed along the stone passage. The air was thick with the stench of blood and death. I shoved open the wooden door, not caring who was on the other side. Stopping in the alley scattered with rags stained with blood, I wrapped my shawl around my shoulders and forced myself to walk calmly. I peered around the corner.

The square wasn’t much longer than the copying room. I inhaled, stood tall, and headed for the biggest knot in the crowd.

Rioters swarmed the arched entrance, raising pikes and screaming. Men and women wearing red caps charged across the square. A woman pounded the closed main doors. “Give me back my husband!”

I tottered and pressed my feet to the cobbles.

“Join your victims, you man-eater!” yelled a man, wielding a sword.

A rotund man, his beard and hair wiry and disheveled, bellowed, “Send Tinville to hell! Let him wallow in the blood he has shed!”

I fell back. They were screaming revenge against my father. I bent over, nauseated and dizzy. Clutching the building, I forced myself to stand straight.

A guard came out of the entryway and yelled, “He’s at la Conciergerie!”

The crowd of red-capped sans-culottes turned and flowed like a stream of blood across the square and over the bridge toward the prison. I could get Papa out, like LaGarde. I just needed men’s clothing, a place to hide, and a plan.

I forced myself to breathe calmly, descend the steps, and intermingle with the crowd, while trying to remember the tunnel entrance nearest the prison. The flower seller stood at the edge of the market. I headed straight for her and hoped I could make it without anyone recognizing me.

A powerful hand grabbed my arm, pulled me to the bulk of a man, his warmth penetrating my sleeve. I opened my mouth, but his other hand covered it. The square spun around me.

BOOK TOUR & GIVEAWAY: Out of Bounds by Tam DeRudder Jackson

She thought the game ended in the first quarter, but I play to the final whistle.

Out of Bounds

Game Time Series Book 2

by Tam DeRudder Jackson

Genre: Contemporary Sports Romance

There is only one truth: guard your heart.

All I want is a quiet drink. Guess it is too much to ask. Especially for my ex who will not take a hint when I tell him the seat beside me is taken—by my purse. My gaze snags on the super-hot guy in the reflection behind the bar, the one whose knowing wink should put me off. But my attention keeps straying to him. When football standout Wyatt “Bax” Baxter makes his move, steals the barstool from my purse, and sends my ex on his way, I can’t decide if I’m irritated or intrigued. After I caught my ex cheating, I know better than to trust a man with my heart. Yet when one thing leads to another, Bax becomes the only thing on my mind.

It was supposed to stop at a one-night stand.

Bax is unexpected. I don’t usually date football players. The fact that he listens when I talk is as big a turn-on as his broad shoulders stretching his T-shirt. When we hook up, he rocks my world. But my terrible history with men stops me from giving him my number. One and done, moving on is my motto these days. Though Bax lets me walk away, he refuses to let me go. He finds a way to live rent-free in my head, and to my everlasting shock, I keep seeking him out. Our backgrounds are wildly different. We make no sense together, but I can’t stay away.

She’s out of my league—like that ever stopped me.

Piper Maxwell is the whole sexy package—smart, independent, and the best time I ever had. When I wow the crowd with a pick-six during a big rivalry game, I know exactly where to point the ball—at a purple-haired hottie cheering in the student section. She insists on keeping it casual, but she is too special to let get away. I’m known for my tenacity on the field, something Piper is about to find out extends off the field too.

She thought the game ended in the first quarter, but I play to the final whistle.

Hot and Cold

A Lesson in Love Novella
#3

by Tara September

Genre: New Adult Sports
Hockey Romance

In the game of love, who will melt first?

LUKE:
No one seems to comprehend the pressures of playing
for an NCAA college hockey team and being in the pre-med program. With the NHL draft and
graduation looming, I can’t handle any distractions in my life. Discipline and focus are my two best
friends.

The absolute last thing I need my senior year is to be roped into some campus
social media project with a sexy junior who changes majors more times than she does clothes. Yet
here I am, posing for a calendar I had no intention of participating in, attending parties, and making
out, among other things, in public. And yeah, if I’m smiling the whole way, it must be because I’ve
finally cracked. That’s the only explanation why I’ve let Jax sashay her way into my every thought.
Puck me!

My world has been irrevocably turned upside
down once already, and I won’t let it happen again—even if it means becoming the “Ice Man” that
everyone calls me.

JAX:
It might have taken me three
years to decide on a major, but I’ve got it all figured out now, and I’m going to win a coveted
communications internship too. I just need the grumpy hockey captain to relax a bit and help me
help his team. So what if I know diddly about the game and that he won’t even let me past the front
door? I’ve got this! And if I’m shivering at his touch, it’s because he’s so cold, not because he
makes me hot.

Nope, despite the rumors circulating on campus, we’re only spending
every waking minute together because of my assignment, that’s all. Although, maybe we’re dating?
I don’t know, but I plan to find out! Because it’s starting to feel real, especially his kisses. Yup, I’m
totally pucked!

Lone Wolf Legacy Book 2

by N.J. Walters

Genre: Paranormal Romance

If they want his immortality—they’ll have to take it…in the second deeply sexy and bold Lone Wolf Legacy series from New York Times bestselling author N.J. Walters

I’m used to other wolves coming for me. They want their chance to try and take out the infamous Gray Wolf. And every single one of them fails—because lone wolves aren’t like the others…we’re stronger. Harder. Meaner. Immortal.

But it also means I’m alone. No pack. No alpha. Just the three of us—white, gray, and black. Two too many, if you ask me.

But with power-hungry mages gunning for us, I don’t have the luxury of reflection. They’re in New York City, and I Will. Hunt. Them. Down.

Which is when I see her, and every cell in my body is on alert, filled with the kind of primal longing I never knew I was capable of. Luna West may be human, but there’s some kind of thread connecting us. Call it destiny, fate…or voracious animal hunger.

I know she’s bait. She’s meant to tempt me, to make me weak.

But even if I could resist her, I’m not sure I want to. Because I’ve never denied my wolf anything…especially the chance to raise some serious hell.

And I’m not about to start now.

BOOK TOUR & GIVEAWAY: Storm Surge by Stephen A Reger

Posted on by

Two remarkable women are inextricably linked by a power far greater than anything Europe has ever seen.

Storm Surge

The Stormsong Trilogy Book 2

by Stephen A. Reger

Genre: Historical Fiction Adventure

As the Thirty Years’ War enters its second year, Bohemian Protestants continue their rebellion against the Catholic Hapsburg dynasty which has ruled the German states with an iron fist for more than three hundred years. Like the rest of Europe, this once great empire remains divided along multiple fault lines; and across Europe, various religious sects social classes, and nations continue to battle one another in a war of unprecedented scope and savagery.

Already caught up in this massive conflict are two very beautiful but very different women. Lady Atlantis Vanessa von Stormsong, the only child of a wealthy Catholic Archduke, has known a life of power and privilege; meanwhile, Sarlatova, a poor Protestant who lives among thieves and outlaws, knows practically nothing of her past. These two strangers seem to have nothing in common except for a strong faith in the same God.

But as their paths cross again and again, and as they try to navigate a world dominated by violent and powerful men, these two remarkable women begin to realize that they are inextricably linked by a power far greater than anything Europe has ever seen.

Author’s Note

Legend is often truer than history and always more interesting.

-anonymous

Everything you have ever been told about history is a lie.  All of the history that you learned from kindergarten to college has been a carefully crafted series of falsehoods and fabrications, all

designed to keep you from knowing the truth.  I should know.  For more than three decades, I was a teacher of history (American, European, World), and during that time I was an accomplice (before and during the fact) to a vast conspiracy to shield you from the truth – and the truth is far different from what you thought you knew.  In fact, the role of the spiritual, supernatural, and (dare I say) magical has always been far more prevalent in and pivotal to history than you have ever been taught.

But I am retired now, and I intend to use whatever time I have left on this mortal coil we call Earth trying to destroy the intricately woven web of deceit that I helped build.  I’m going to peel back the curtain, as it were, and reveal to you the far more interesting, infinitely more complex and chaotic, and (at times) terrifying truth about who we are and how we got here.

I begin with the strange but true tale of what really happened in the Holy Roman Empire during the Thirty Years War of the seventeenth century.  Prepare to be illuminated and incensed that this was all kept from you for so long.

Prologue 

Between 1154 and 1184, eager to restore the Holy Roman Empire to the position it had once occupied under Charlemagne, Frederick Barbarossa (also known as Frederick I) launched six different campaigns into Italy.  History has recorded that those campaigns, combined with his participation in the Third Crusade (1189-1192), were Barbarossa’s attempts to expand the size and influence of the Holy Roman Empire, reconquer the Holy Land following Sultan Saladin’s capture of Jerusalem in 1187, and restore law and order to the various and disorganized German states.  In reality, however, it was neither land nor riches nor holy relics that Barbarossa sought.  In reality, he had come to the conclusion that, hidden within Europe and the Middle East, were scores of “devils and deviants” – practitioners of the dark arts.

Shortly after he was crowned Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Adrian IV on June 18, 1155, Barbarossa, while still in Rome for the coronation, summoned to Saint Peter’s Basilica all of the patriarchs of an incredibly powerful (and incredibly secretive) German family – the Stormsongs.  At that place and time, Barbarossa granted the Stormsongs hereditary title to an extremely powerful order that would serve as his personal army.  The Stormsongs would be rich beyond the dreams of avarice, but they would also be indebted to serve as Barbarossa’s “truest protectors of the faith and empire.”

And so, it began.  For more than 460 years, the Stormsongs faithfully, and quite violently, defended the Catholic Church, the Holy Roman Empire, and the German monarchy against all enemies (foreign and domestic, real and perceived).  But little did Barbarossa know that the same practitioners of the dark arts the Stormsongs were meant to shield his empire from were, in fact, alive and well within the Stormsong family.  And by the dawn of the seventeenth century, the order of Stormsongs had grown both darker and more powerful, while the Holy Roman Empire they allegedly still served found itself surrounded by powerful enemies – and on the brink of collapse.

The Stormsong Trilogy Book 1

The year is 1618, and the Christian world stands, once again, on a knife’s edge. The once great Holy Roman Empire, like most of the rest of Europe, is divided along religious, political, and economic lines – pitting Catholics against Protestants, princes against monarchs, and the rich against the poor. And a war unlike anything Europe has ever seen is growing increasingly inevitable…

Destined to be caught up in the coming conflict are two very beautiful but very different women. Lady Atlantis Vanessa von Stormsong is the only child of a wealthy Catholic Archduke, while poor Šarlatová is a Protestant thief who knows practically nothing of her past. These two strangers share a strong faith in the same God, but their respective attempts to find peace in a world dominated by violent and powerful men will lead them straight into the abyss of a war that will tear Europe apart for the next thirty years.
