Dark Shadows...hot romance even in the darkness.



http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005CVIN2O

In Cyan, Indiana, Dark Shadows is a pub filled with unique characters. The bar is a draw for the unusual, the wicked, and a place where even a Guardian defining justice can’t depart.

Henri Chambers is tired of immortality. A Guardian squad member of heaven and hell, he is on a new mission…to find a recruit for the team and hopefully his replacement. He finds his quarry in a pub called Dark Shadows. Unfortunately, the target is the brother of the first woman to ignite a fire inside Henri in centuries.

Tori Kepler, half owner of Dark Shadows bar and grill has been diligent in her efforts to subdue her fire starting abilities. That is, until she meets Henri Chambers, then uncontrollable sparks fly. When her brother sees the ghost of their mother and a prophecy is given via two tarot cards, The Hierophant and Seven of Swords, he decides to sell the pub. The decision about what path to take in her life is taken out of her hands and Henri’s.

Will the two lovers find heaven on Earth in each other’s arms or will their paths take divergent courses?

Excerpt:
Henri stood outside the bar, knowing she’d be walking along the sidewalk any minute. A schoolboy pleasure rumbled deep within his chest. She’d accepted his invitation. Anticipation coursed through him. Despite longevity and the sheer number of women he’d entertained in his past, a fresh intoxication infused his senses.
He leaned against the rough bark of the oak tree and waited. He’d changed suits at least twice before he settled on the casual attire of polo and trousers, but scoffed at his appearance. He preferred the pomp and circumstances of the ornately detailed clothing of his century, the garments of a knight immediately indicated his status. However, Tori said she’d be taking a break from work and she always dressed informally, he wanted to make her feel comfortable. Oddly enough, he enjoyed the soft cotton feel of the pants. He could move around without constriction, and they kept the cold air out.
Her black tight fitting V-neck top and solid skin tight black pants enhanced her perfect figure. Her portfolio didn’t note exercise, like common people did working out with weights at the gym or running as fast as possible on the street. No, she perfected her skills with sword fighting and the training kept her fit.
She gracefully walked out from the Dark Shadows entrance and his gut twisted into knots.

This is what Rachel Nial had to say: There was so much passion in DARK SHADOWS that I thought my head would explode. I LOVE THIS BOOK!! In fact, I love this book so much that I nearly blew off finishing my day's work so that I could finish it in one setting. Duty called, however, and I got to it as soon as I could. And what a finish! DARK SHADOWS has it all: Good versus Evil; Love, Lust and Secrets competing for dominance; boundless love and those velvet ties that transcend even the strangest of circumstances.
