When duty forces a shaman to stop a vampire from her revenge, love doesn't just burn… it bites.

For two hundred years, Niki DeVeraux has been tracking the monster who murdered her family and made her a vampire. She finally catches up to him in a small Arizona town, only to face more than she bargained for. Amid an imperious vampire King, a shaky truce between the local clan and shifter pack, and a too-sexy sheriff who makes her remember she's still a woman, Niki's single-minded purpose is threatened for the first time since her turning.

Between his duties as Keeper of the peace for the Magic Council and heir to his tribe's shamanistic magic, Sheriff Shane Spencer's job is to protect humanity and stop the friction between the local Arcaine races before it turns into an all out blood war. To make matters worse, there's an irresistible rouge vampire in town enflaming his senses.

When wolves start turning up dead, the tension between the paranormal races grows and suspicion falls on Niki. Shane knows she's not to blame, and it has nothing to do with the primal urges she stirs within him. Working together, they must find a way to stop the hostilities from going over the edge. Trouble is, the desires raging between Niki and Shane might prove more dangerous than the surrounding threats.

Book Of The Day – The Time Contessa

Posted: 31 Jul 2014 06:11 AM PDT

Today's Book of the Day is a Romance novel by Georgina Young-Ellis and it's 67% off for a limited time. The Time Contessa has a 4.6 star rating and is on sale for only 99 cents – save $2!

“I’ve read all three books in this series, and they keep getting better and better!” ML – Amazon Reviewer



The Time Contessa
by Georgina Young-Ellis
Rating: 4.6 Stars
Genre: Romance
Price: $0.99 save $2

 

The Time Contessa is an adventure to Siena, Italy, 500 years into the past and 100 years into the future.

Something has gone wrong with an historical timeline, causing a famous painting to disappear from the world's conscious memory, surfacing only in people's dreams. Two members of MIT's Chronology team, Dr. Cassandra Reilly and her colleague Jake, must go to Renaissance Siena to repair the timeline so the artist who painted the portrait of a beautiful woman known as Giuliana will ultimately live to complete it.

However, the past holds many pitfalls, both dangerous and romantic, that Cassandra must stay clear of, while trying to prevent Jake falling prey to them as well.

The time-travelers' problems follow them to the future, where love takes such a strong hold it becomes impossible to resist, and past adversaries resurface to create new threats.

Here’s what the reviewers have to say:

This book was so fun to read! Makes you feel like you are in 15th century Sienna Italy. Super mix of historical fiction, romance and sexuality! Loved it!

*******

Every time I finish one of these books, I feel like I’ve lost a good friend. The Time Contessa, like the previous two books, is artfully and skillfully written and is sure to please reading fans of time travel, adventure, and romance.

*******

We have yet another excellent addition to the Time Mistress series. Like her other two books, Young-Ellis’s attention to detail is very precise and believable.

*******

The author uses three different time frames which is definitely a different twist. The characters were well developed, the historical details nicely described and the plot was interesting – what more could a time travel lover reader want? I can hardly wait for her next book.

*******

I normally don’t enjoy fiction, but there is so much historical fact in the Time Contessa that it made me feel like I was there. I was happy to read the 3rd installation of Young-Ellis’ story of a time-traveling scientist with a hunger for romance. Pour yourself a glass of wine and enjoy the Time Contessa.

About The Author

I live in New York City, with my artist husband and musician son. Though originally from the Southwest of the U.S., we love the atmosphere of this bustling city. We love to travel, and when I can’t travel in body, I travel in my mind to the times and places that my heroine, Dr. Cassandra Reilly, visits in my series, The Time Mistress. In the first book, The Time Baroness, she time-travels to Jane Austen’s England. In the second, The Time Heiress, she travels to pre-Civil War NYC. In both she encounters romance and danger!

Thank you for considering today’s Book Of The Day – Georgina Young-Ellis and ENT appreciate it.

Behind Closed Doors
by Brian L. Porter
Rating: 4.7 Stars
Genre: Thriller and Suspense
Price: $0.99 Save $3.00
Make sure price is still $0.99 before clicking "Buy".

“…a well-written suspenseful thriller that captures the mood of London during the time of the Ripper killings….I’m a stickler for research and this was researched very well.” -CLynn

The newspapers are full of the details of the mutilations perpetrated by the killer and the apparent inability of the police to apprehend the unknown assailant.

As Metropolitan Police Commissioner, Sir Charles Warren throws the bulk of his investigative resources into the search for The Ripper, and the tabloid press scream of the crimes in banner headlines on a daily basis; on the new, ultra modern Underground Railway that has revolutionized travel around the great metropolis for the working man, another, less well publicized killer is at large.

Tucked away on the inner pages of the daily press, hardly enough to raise an eyebrow among discerning readers, one may have found a few, short articles which told of the strange and also, so far unsolved murders which are taking place on board the carriages of the new-fangled and much heralded transport system.

Each murder takes place the day after one of the ripper killings, as the murderer appears to be taking advantage of the lack of police resources to tackle not one, but two major investigations simultaneously.

Inspector Albert Norris is charged with bringing the railway killer to justice, but, as with case of Jack the Ripper, clues are few, the killer’s motive unclear, and he is forced to carry out his investigations ‘quietly and without causing a public panic’ as the authorities seek to prevent a loss of confidence in the safety of the underground railway system.

The press are being told even less, hence the minimal coverage, and Norris can count on little help from above as he attempts to solve the inexplicable series of murders.

Homeless, mistreated and tired of making up the difference for her alcoholic mother, a fifteen year old girl from the foothills of North Carolina leaves home with no destination in mind—she just wants to get away from the crushing burden of abuse and unwanted responsibility.

One of the regulars at the café is fascinated by this young girl, never suspecting that one day she will change his life completely—both as a music mogul and as a man.

Twenty-five years later, two detectives arrive in Nashville for much the same reason— to escape a repressive past, and begin a new future.

When they open their doors for business, to their surprise one of their first customers is the reigning “Queen of Nashville” one of Nashville’s long standing mega stars who places her past in their hands, and trusts them to keep her secrets.

Will they be able to solve the mysteries of her life? Will they be able to protect her good name and reputation in the process?

Serena has learned to live with her past, locking her secrets and nightmares deep inside her. But when her boyfriend of six years abruptly leaves her, she’s catapulted back into pain, nursing a broken heart.

When indulging in mountains of chocolate doesn’t work, Serena decides the best way to deal with her shattered heart is to indulge in something else. A rebound . . .

The night she swaps her usual Sprite fortequila, she meets James. The encounter is breathtaking.

Electrifying. And best not repeated.

He’s the exact opposite of Serena. But sometimes opposites attract. Sometimes they give in to burning passion. Sometimes opposites are perfect for each other.

James is everything her damaged soul could want. His kisses are intoxicating, his touch out of this world. He makes her forget. He grants her peace from her pain.

But as they grow closer, Serena discovers she isn’t the only one with a past. James carries the scars of a past much darker than hers. One that has left him damaged, hurt, and wary of love. A past that gives him the power to shatter her.

He soon finds that whatever amount he spends in one day is fully reimbursed the following morning.

His friend, Dave, convinces him not to tell anyone and to go on the spending spree of a lifetime – which is exactly what Johnny does.
But where's the money coming from? And how much trouble is Johnny in for when someone finds out?

Rush! Rush! Rush! Quicker is better, while slower is lazier! That is what we're told, but that paradigm is far from the truth. Our modern civilization forces us to rush in everything we do, from eating to working to walking to talking.

Words like productivity, efficiency and speed have taken center stage in our lives, telling us that wasting time is bad.

Yet highly effective people take their time in everything they do, and attune themselves to the fundamental energy of Mother Nature to succeed.

This book is part of a series, "The Wheel of Wisdom," in which I explore topics as varied as love and romance, self-esteem, occupational success, personal bliss, effective communication, fear management, human relationships and spirituality.

The Wheel of Wisdom reflects knowledge I accumulated through personal research, wisdom literature, everyday observation and the testimonies of hundreds of people encountered on my life journey – young and old, novice and experienced, religious and agnostic, optimistic and gloomy.

Like each book in the Series, I've made this tome a quick read, easy to understand and filled with as many inspirational jewels as possible.

I hope you will find it as pleasurable to read as it was for me to write.

Almost Royalty

"A hilarious, scathing tale of LA life." -Kirkus Reviews

Courtney Hamilton is a Velveeta-loving attorney driven to distraction by a city that seethes with soul-sucking status seekers.

When her friend Marcie formulates an impossibly detailed rating system for acceptable men—the Los Angeles Eco-Chain of Dating—Courtney goes on a self-destructive binge that doesn't stop until she gets thrown out of group therapy for insulting a former child actress.

Courtney is mortified as she watches her best friends give up stellar careers in law and the arts to marry entertainment royalty and civilian overachievers. Worse, they expect Courtney to do the same.

So they hatch plots to get her to give up her career, break her addiction to fake cheese, marry into high-orbit wealth and rule the stratosphere alongside them.

But Courtney resists. She doesn't want to be a poster child for the Opt-Out Generation. And she certainly doesn't want to be molded into date bait for the top rung of L.A. society.

All Courtney wants is to be left alone so she can search beneath the surface for a meaningful life.

But between a meddling, narcissistic mother, a self-absorbed therapist and friends trying to send her to dating re-education camps, it seems that fake cheese is the only genuine thing left in the city.

Social ambition combats self-actualization in this biting tale of one woman's search for certainty in a city full of mirages.

But Bill's former cell mate, Jack Davis, decides he wants the money to himself and his first move is to kidnap Jamie Porter and hold her for ransom.

The Falcon stumbles in the middle of the kidnap attempt, rescuing Jamie, only to discover later that she is his employer's daughter.

A cat and mouse chase with the backdrop of a tropical paradise, Mayan ruins, several near-fatal escapes until the climax inside the cave where the money has been sitting for over a quarter of a century.

The Hunt is on!

When Lily, a chic menswear designer, is offered a photo editorial in Italy, she invites her best friends to join her on the Isle of Capri for a dream escape from husbands and children.

Friends for over 12 years, wives of golf buddies, these six are bravely enduring their marriages with a Doris Day morality. But it's 1979 in swinging L.A., where the stigma of divorce has all but dissolved.

They head off with the best of intentions, so sure that they will find Renewal. Each has reason to crave it:

LILY, a peacemaker and born storyteller, honors her marriage to an emotional tyrant although clearly beaten down.

GRACE, a model, as striking as she is opinionated, is a devoted wife but remains bravely unfulfilled.

PENN, a prim, dutiful perfectionist, ignores her husband's frequent and extended cocktail meetings as if their church attendance will bring transformation.

DEEDEE, a bodacious bombshell, a brassiere-fitting specialist, grows weary of her immature husband who despises his stepdaughter and mother-in-law.

CAT, a self-absorbed dreamer, grasps for purpose, railing against her traditional Italian husband and his meddlesome, dominating mother.

AMELIA, a beauty, nurturing and resilient, chooses the security of marriage while resenting her husband's philandering.

Their mutual expectation of renewal—rekindled patience for flawed spouses and unruly children—warps violently given Capri's temptations.

Two factions form: four seduced by the balm of exotic male attention while emboldened by anonymity, versus pristine Lily and hypercritical Grace. The conflict escalates; the friendship unravels. The wives return to face their newly determined husbands.

Not long thereafter, a serious occasion wrenches an obligatory promise from each forcing them back to Capri to face the consequences of their blunders—including a secret brutal crime.

Beheading a zombie isn’t easy in a world where you’re more afraid of the living than the dead.

Retreating to Auburn Lake Preparatory Academy, Adrian attempts to rescue friends and family on the way while dancing around his impending insanity over who and what he left behind, and evading maniac survivors.

He saves his cat Otis, but shoots his mom. Pretty successful, all things considered.
