Willing SacrificeCongratulations to Shannon K. Butcher, whose latest installment in her Sentinel Wars series, WILLING SACRIFICE, hits stores today! Go check it out for a sexy, exciting read.

They are the Sentinels. Three races descended from ancient guardians of mankind, each possessing unique abilities in their battle to protect humanity against their eternal foes: the Synestryn. Now a warrior weighs the price he will pay for love….

Theronai warrior Torr has never forgotten Grace, the human who stole his heart and nearly gave her life to save his. So when he is summoned to the aid of Brenya, the powerful woman who healed Grace, he is devastated to find that Grace’s cure has left her mind devoid of any memory of Torr or their love.

However, despite not knowing who he is, Grace is inexplicably drawn to the dark warrior. As they team up to stop the invasion that threatens the people Grace now considers family, her memories slowly start resurfacing. But sometimes the past is best forgotten—a lesson that Torr may learn too late….

They are the Sentinels. Three races descended from ancient guardians of mankind, each possessing unique abilities in their battle to protect humanity against their eternal foes: the Synestryn. Now a warrior must protect a strong-minded woman from an incredible evil….

A beautiful, independent Theronai, Rory Rainey knows that her attempts to be a warrior are futile — unless she can stop the demonic visions that torment her. Determined to be free, Rory sets out to find the mysterious guardian who can cure her, before she loses her sight — or her life. But Rory’s journey brings its own dangers when she is attacked by a pack of Synestryn sent by the demon lord Raygh.

Cornered and desperate, Rory narrowly escapes with the help of a sword-wielding stranger. Cain knows that Rory needs his protection to survive, just as he knows that her power is compatible with his own. And when Rory binds herself to Cain, the warrior knows he will do anything to keep her safe from the threat of the demon lord who pursues her.

Edge_of_SanityA very happy book release day to Shannon K. Butcher, whose EDGE OF SANITY, the next book in her “Edge” romantic suspense series, hits stores today.

“I NEED TO KNOW IF ANYONE WAS KILLED LAST NIGHT.” 

In his years working for the private security firm THE EDGE, Clay Marshall has seen it all. But his recent blackouts are new. As is waking up with blood on his hands and clothing, with no memory of where the blood came from — or who he might have killed. He hates to admit it, but he needs help.

Dr. Leigh Vaughn has treated Edge employees before, but from the moment she first sees him, Clay strikes her as a special breed of man. She knows he’s dangerous, and distrustful of doctors, but she finds herself drawn to him even as his own steely exterior gives way to his desire for her.

Neither knows, however, that Clay is a pawn in a larger experiment, and his blackouts are only the first step toward a terrifying goal. And both Leigh and Clay will be forced to put themselves in harm’s way to stop an unseen enemy — and to save one another.

Congratulations to Shannon on another exciting, sexy read!

TangleofNeed_FinalIn addition, you can also find the paperback edition of Nalini Singh‘s TANGLE OF NEED, her most recent Psy/Changeling paranormal romance, in stores as of today.

Adira, wolf changeling and resilient soldier, has made a break with her past — to face a devastating new challenge: Riaz, a SnowDancer lieutenant already sworn to another. For Riaz, the primal attraction he feels for Adira is a staggering betrayal. For Adira, his lone-wolf appeal is beyond sexual. It consumers her. It terrifies her. It threatens to undermine everything she has built in her new life. But fighting their wild compulsion is a losing battle. 

Their coming together is an inferno… and a melding of two wounded souls who promise each other no commitment, no ties, no bonds. Only pleasure. Too late, they realize they have more to lose than they eve imagined. Drawn into a cataclysmic Psy war that may alter the fate of the world itself, they must make a decision that just might break them both.

This edition includes deleted scenes.

Happy reading, everyone!

Looking for something new to read? Check out Shannon K. Butcher’s exciting, stand-alone eSpecial, available today: FORGET ME NOT.

It’s a race against time for two lovers—star-crossed and desperate—in Shannon K. Butcher’s astonishing new romance of electrifying danger and desire…. 

The last thing Adria expects to find when she arrives at her vacation rental is a man in her front yard—unconscious and stark-naked. But something else sets him apart from most strangers. He is no ordinary man. Toren is new to Earth, framed for a crime he didn’t commit, and banished to this planet to serve his sentence. He’s desperate to return to his planet, because the magic that is part of him will soon disappear and, along with it, all of his memories. Adria is his only hope to help make his escape for home—and as fate would have it, his reason to stay. 

Let’s Start at the Very Beginning…

Nephele Tempest

Ever discover a wonderful series of books, only to realize that you’re having a hard time locating the first installment? Not all series build from one book to the next, but even when each is a stand-alone volume, it’s great to see how a writer kicked things off. So, today I’m giving away the first book in Shannon K. Butcher‘s exciting Sentinel Wars series, BURNING ALIVE.

They are the Sentinels…

Three races descended from ancient guardians of mankind, each possessing unique abilities in their battle to protect humanity against their eternal foes-the Synestryn. Now, one warrior must fight his own desire if he is to discover the power that lies within his one true love…

Helen Day is haunted by visions of herself surrounded by flames, as a dark-haired man watches her burn. So when she sees the man of her nightmares staring at her from across a diner, she attempts to flee-but instead ends up in the man’s arms. There, she awakens a force more powerful and enticing than she could ever imagine. For the man is actually Theronai warrior Drake, whose own pain is driven away by Helen’s presence.

Together, they may become more than lovers-they may become a weapon of light that could tip the balance of the war and save Drake’s people…

Just leave a comment here on this thread between now and Tuesday, July 17th at noon PT to enter the drawing. I’ll return then to announce the random winner. And don’t forget to check out the giveaways still going on from the last few days here on the blog!

A very happy book day to Shannon K. Butcher, whose exciting next installment in her wonderful Sentinel Wars series hits stores today: DYING WISH. This novel features a strong, intelligent heroine, and a stubborn hero who just might need to learn a thing or two about hope.

Jackie Patton has been rescued by the Theronai from her captivity and torture at the hands of the Synestryn, only to learn that she’s a potential match for the Theronai warriors who need a woman to literally save their lives.

Forced to choose, she unexpectedly selects Iain, a cold-hearted warrior who doesn’t want to be saved. Iain is convinced that it’s too late–that his soul is already as dead as his former betrothed, killed by the Synestryn. Still, he is the only one she wants. But is Iain indeed beyond saving?

Congratulations to Shannon!
