WOOT!

Thank you for your patience! Midnight Eclipse should now be available for download for those of you who pre-ordered. I'll see if I can send out a reminder e-mail. I kinda screwed things up with not moving the pre-order date in my own system, so some people received the notification e-mail earlier than I wanted. Hopefully, I'm not going to send out more than one e-mail! Yeah…this process is soooo not working. Next release will be exclusively through the online retailers. No more buying books through my website. So sorry for the inconveniences anyone has experienced through me testing out this process.

CLICK HERE TO READ CHAPTER ONE

PLEASE NOTE: The price on my website will go up to $2.99 on November 6th! You will still be able to pre-order Midnight Eclipse for 99 cents if you click the links below. However, that price will only be available until November 12th.

Pre-order by clicking on these buy buttons – only 99 cents:

Bonded By Blood Characters - James KnightlyBio: James Knightly

You had me at swords!

James Knightly didn't have the greatest example of a father…at least until he met Broderick MacDougal, their new business partner. Together they formed MacDougal & Knightly Shipping Company. Alistair Knightly was a drunk and hard on his son James, but his behavior was manageable until his wife, Fiona, was murdered. James's father lost himself in the bottle and eventually laudanum, trying to numb the pain of losing his wife. Unfortunately, that meant he neglected James. Broderick understood his business partner's woes, so did what he could to be there for James until Alistair recovered from his grief. Unfortunately, the years of neglect dragged on. As a result, James ended up looking more and more to Broderick through the years. Because of their friendship and father/son relationship, James grew into a fine young man…someone Broderick was proud to consider as a good candidate for Cailin's husband, and the main reason he funded James's schooling to become a fencing master. Broderick's daughter would need all the protection Broderick could provide.

Most Popular Quote from James Knightly

He swallowed hard. “If you do not close your bodice, my dear, I cannot be held responsible for my actions.”
Said to Cailin MacDougal right before she and James dueled in Midnight Captive, Book 2 of the Bonded By Blood Vampire Chronicles  – Click to Tweet

Facts About James Knightly NOT in the Books

James and Cailin are at odds for most of the novel and one of the main reasons is Cailin is trying to be something she is not – a doting wife who knows how to embroider and run a household, a woman of her time. Cailin is everything but that, but she thinks that's exactly what James wants. What she doesn't realize, and why she and James are always butting heads, is her very actions are hitting hot buttons for her betrothed. Though this is hinted at a few times in Midnight Captive, it is never really spelled out: James's father Alistair, as mentioned above, was a drunk and very hard on his son. He was also a gambler and a selfish man, squandering the family money on his habits. However, whenever Alistair was around other people – especially Broderick – he would pretend to be a loving and supportive father to impress other people. Such acts were strictly for his benefit. What pained James the most was when he was younger, he believed his father was being loving and supportive…and then his actions behind closed doors were the complete opposite. Confusing in his younger years to be sure, such behavior eventually brewed resentment in James. Fake people are James's pet peeve…and why Cailin's attempts at being someone she is not grates on James's nerves so badly.

Midnight Eclipse - Book 4 of the Bonded By Blood Vampire ChroniclesBook Blurb

Broderick MacDougal follows the familiar yearning of his soul to a fierce warrior who is as seductive as a siren at sea – and she is just as deadly. The world of the supernatural opens to Broderick as he not only finds himself in the midst of an ancient war of shapeshifters, but the devious Cordelia Lynn Harley has re-entered his life and has a few of her own surprises.

Born into a hated race of Norse wolf shifters, Celina Hunter knows all too well the dangers of trusting anyone other than her two brothers. And yet the survival of her family hinges on trusting the strangely familiar vampire, a natural enemy of her kind yet her tribe's Shaman advisers confirm he is her soul mate. Enemy or not, Celina slips into the spell of Broderick's promises of eternal love, gambling with all she holds dear.

Broderick and Celina are bound by a curse, but having come this far through the centuries, Broderick is not about to risk his chance at having his soul mate for eternity. The price, however, may be more than Celina is willing to pay as there is more at stake than just her immortal soul. Click to Tweet

Midnight Conquest - Davina Stewart-RussellBio: Davina Stewart-Russell

Not a lady born, but a lady raised…

…Davina Stewart was born to Parlan and Lilias at Stewart Glen in the Lowlands of Scotland, just northeast of Aberdeen. Davina is the youngest of her and her brother, Kehr.

Due to her loose connections to the crown through her father, she was betrothed to Ian Russell – a marriage that benefited her brother and father with wealth, while Parlan promised coveted contacts for Ian and his father, Munro. However, Ian has proven to use a heavy hand to rule over Davina. In spite of pleas toward her father to dissolve the marriage, she is forced to endure her union for the sake of their financial wellbeing. In a time where a woman is property to her family and spouse, Davina endures with a silent strength when she has exhausted all other avenues, and maintains her dignity in the face of oppression.

But there is one image in her mind that has been her anchor through the years. The handsome Gypsy she met as a young girl – Broderick. He had warned her of the dark times to come when he read her palm, and said she would endure if she held to an image of strength. Little did he or Davina know Broderick would be that rock she would cling to, the light that would give her hope through those dark times.

Most Popular Quote from Davina Stewart-Russell

“Your name—MacDougal means Son of the Dark Stranger, if I’m not mistaken.” She pursed her lips and crossed her arms. “How appropriate.” 
Said to Broderick MacDougal in Midnight Conquest, Book 1 of the Bonded By Blood Vampire Chronicles – Click to Tweet 

Fact About Davina Stewart-Russell NOT in the Books

In Midnight Conquest, there is a scene where Broderick is being a bit of a peeping Tom and is mesmerized by Davina standing in a tub of shallow water, cleansing herself from the day. However, the scars on her body and the odd angle of her left arm take Broderick out of this sensual moment and ignite a protective anger in him over the obvious signs of abuse. Davina’s left arm was indeed broken, as Broderick had observed. She had gone to her father-in-law to inform him of Ian’s abusive behavior. Munro said he would speak with Ian on her behalf. Later that evening, Ian had a fight with his father Munro and, as punishment, Munro denied him funds. Ian became very drunk and took his anger out on Davina with his fists, then shoved her down a short accutane online safe flight of stairs where she broke her arm on the fall. This was the night of her first miscarriage.

Outlander, Shifter Boxed Set and Giveaways!

Outlander Premier based on Diana Gabaldon's internationally bestselling novelsSQUEEEEEEEE! Diana Gabaldon's series Outlander is coming to STARZ television August 9th, 2014 at 9pm ET/PT!!! HitFix.com talked about the premier and shared the poster (left).

Is anyone else excited about this????

For those of you who might not know about this internationally bestselling series, I'll share the STARZ summary for Season 1:

“Outlander” follows the story of Claire Randall, a married combat nurse from 1945 who is mysteriously swept back in time to 1743, where she is immediately thrown into an unknown world where her life is threatened. When she is forced to marry Jamie, a chivalrous and romantic young Scottish Warrior, a passionate affair is ignited that tears Claire's heart between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

The “Outlander” series, adapted from Diana Gabaldon's international best-selling books, spans the genres of romance, science fiction, history and adventure into one epic tale.

Midnight Hunt - Book 3 of the Bonded By Blood Vampire ChroniclesMs. Gabaldon has been considered the Mother of Paranormal Romance and she was definitely setting trends with cross-genre fiction.

Shifter Boxed Set & Giveaways

Midnight Hunt – First Kiss Giveaway

By | | , ,
13 Comments

KMN Books - First Kiss - Valentine's DayKaren Michelle Nutt and KMN Books are celebrating Valentine's Day all this month by sharing excerpts of those First Kisses. Be sure to head on over there to see links to all the other giveaways. February 10th, Midnight Hunt is being featured on her Facebook Page.

Midnight Hunt - Book 3 of the Bonded By Blood Vampire ChroniclesAs many of you may know, Midnight Hunt is the third book in my Bonded By Blood Vampire Chronicles. (Don't worry…I'm working hard on Book 4!) Here's the excerpt of the first kiss between Broderick and Monika (his wife Davina reincarnated):

Monika grabbed a thick cloth from a hook and swung the fireplace crane to check the brew. “I think this is done.”

“I’ll do that for you.” Broderick took the cloth from her hand and their fingers briefly brushed against each other. He clenched his jaw against the wave of lust coursing through his limbs. After unhooking the cooking pot from the iron arm, he set the simmering infusion on the sideboard along the right wall. He stepped away and let her examine the brew.

Broderick peeked over her shoulder as she poked at the wilted plant in the water with a wooden spoon. “Just a little time to let it cool,” she said, and then whirled around and slammed into his chest with an “Oomph!” He caught her before she fell back. “Oh, goodness! I’m so sorry! I had no inkling you were right behind me!” She clutched his arms while she spewed apologies.

“Nay, it was my fault. I shouldn’t have…” Broderick stopped speaking because she kept rambling explanations, obviously thoroughly embarrassed by the clumsy encounter. He chuckled and then laid a finger over her lush mouth. “All is well.”

Wide-eyed and awe-struck, Monika gazed up at him.

The scent of her blood wafted between them and swirled with her desire, drifting from her like a perfume. Her pink tongue darted out to wet her lips and Broderick’s mouth watered. The Hunger surfaced and he closed his eyes to ensure she didn’t see the silver glow. “Fräulein Konrads, I—”

Monika slipped her fingers into his hair, pressing the back of his head to pull him to her. Their lips met…and Broderick was lost. She smelled of lavender and tasted of honey…tasted of Davina. She kissed like his wife—the same nibbling of his lower lip, the way she traced her tongue around his mouth, exploring, seeking. When she opened her mouth to him, he was helpless to resist and slid his tongue between her lips, delving deep. His hands smoothed down her sides, his thumbs tempted to brush the swell of her breasts, but he fought the indulgence. He snaked his arms around her torso and pulled her against his chest, lifting her in his embrace while he feasted on her mouth.
