Amazon ** Barnes & Noble ** iBooks ** Kobo ** Other

We all need a hero...let the Saints of Denver begin.

Orlando Frederick knows what it is to be leveled by pain. Instead of focusing on his own, he’s made it his mission to help others: sports stars, wounded war vets, survivors of all kinds. But when Dom, a rugged, damaged, sinfully attractive cop makes his way into Lando’s physical therapy practice, he might be the biggest challenge yet. Lando loved one stubborn man before and barely survived the fallout. He’s not sure if he can do it again.

Dominic Voss is a protector. The police badge he wears is not only his job, it’s his identity, so when he’s sidelined because of an injury, the only thing he cares about is getting back on the force. He expects Lando to mend his body, he just doesn’t realize the trainer will also have him working towards a hell of a lot more. As attraction simmers and flares, Dom sees that Lando needs repair of his own...if only the man will let him close enough to mend what's broken.

Don’t miss a Sneak Peek of BUILT, the first full-length novel in the Saints of Denver Series, in the back of LEVELED!

 

EXCERPT

He reached out and shut the medical file in front of him and leaned back in his chair. His eyebrows arched up, and he laced his fingers together and put his index fingers under his chin.

“What exactly are you after, Mr. Voss?” His voice was smooth and modulated. I was a disaster, a bundle of nerves and anxiety, and this dude was acting like we were talking about the weather, not my entire life and everything I had ever worked my ass off for.

Defiantly I spread my legs apart and slumped back in the chair across from him, making it a point to affect a posture that was as casual as his was professional. I had on a faded DPD T-shirt and a pair of jeans with a hole in the knee, and both were a little baggy since I’d lost some of my bulk being laid up in the hospital after the accident. If the guy across from me was a cherry-red Ferrari, then I was a rusted-out and battered John Deere tractor in comparison.

“I want my life back, Mr. Frederick. I want to be able to move the way I used to. I want to pass the department physical so I can go back on patrol. I want to be able to walk without needing a crutch or a cane. I want to be the way I was before I got hurt.” I was asking for the impossible and I knew it. “And please call me Dom.”

He dipped his chin down a little, and the edge of his mouth tilted up in a slight grin. Damn the man was good-looking. I blew out a breath and lifted up my hands to run them over the top of my shorn hair. I was hanging on to my sanity by a thread and my unexpected reaction to the guy that I was hanging every hope I had left on wasn’t helping matters.

“All right, Dom. You can call me Lando. That’s what my friends call me.”

I felt one of my eyebrows shoot up. “Are we going to be friends?”

Do not speak too loudly of these mysteries, lest the Old God send his servants to silence you.

Fear Jacob, the most loyal and gifted of these assassins. He has killed many, from babbling ex-sailors who uncovered too many secrets in dark and faraway lands, to millionaires’ wives who summer in mansions on the cliff and wander one step too far into the occult.

But peer into Jacob’s eyes and you may see a hint of doubt. You may discover what you have suspected all along.

History is a lie.

The world is not what we think it is.

And, it is all about to come crashing to an end.

Book Blitz: Excerpt, Guest Post + #Giveaway: All the Way to Heaven by Becky Doughty

 

All the Way to Heaven
Becky Doughty

(The Fallout Series, #1)
Published by: Clean Teen Publishing
Publication date: November 2nd 2015
Genres: New Adult, Romance

 

Anica Tomlin, business major, has just learned that the man she’s been planning her future around, her Global Finance professor, already has a beautiful wife and family. Ani cashes in her graduation gift to herself a little early—a trip to Tuscany—but from the moment she boards the wrong train in Pisa, her plans for solitude and self-indulgence begin to unravel around her.

When a bicycle accident thrusts Ani into the skilled hands of the dashing Dr. Cosimo Lazzaro, she reluctantly accepts his invitation to recover in his family’s country villa, perched on a hilltop surrounded by the Lazzaro olive groves. But it’s been a black year for olive growers all over Italy, and generations of tradition are being put to the test like never before.

Ani is swept up in the drama of life in Tuscany, the convergence of old and new, and the passions that drive people to pursue the desires of their hearts. Just as Ani begins to get her feet under her again, an unexpected turn of events leaves her doubting the very existence of happily-ever-after, unless she can learn to trust the desires of her own heart.

Although All the Way to Heaven is a stand-alone novel, it is the first book in The Fallout Series, a collection of sweet contemporary romances that follow characters featured in the first book.

EXCERPT

 

I didn’t have to ask questions. The words flowed freely as they talked of neighbors who stood to lose everything, of friends who couldn’t see a way out of the loss.

“It is the same all across Italy, Ani. This tragedy will affect the olive oil market for many years to come. And not just here. Around the world. Other countries are suffering from some of the same weather changes.” Franco toyed with the base of his water glass, his blunt fingertips glistening from the beads of condensation making rivulets down the sides of it. “The weather is a fickle creature, and grows more unpredictable each year. We have much competition from other countries, and there is fraud in the market.” He reached over and laid a hand on his wife’s arm, his thumb caressing the back of her wrist.

“Many farms, even if they survive this, will take a long time to recover fully.” Claudia continued his statement, as though his touch transferred his thoughts to her. “And many are already beginning to look to other sources of income, allowing their olive trees to go wild.” A respectful hush settled around the room. Even Margarite stilled for a few moments.

Franco rose slowly, sliding his chair back with barely a sound. He straightened his vest and squared his shoulders. With his chin high and his eyes bright, he said, “The future of olives in our region is uncertain, but it is the life we know and love. It is in our bones, our blood. It is our passion. We will remain.”

 

 

GUEST POST

When in Italy… Learn Some Italian!

Becky Doughty

I love to travel. I grew up in the South Pacific on the island of Papua New Guinea, in the area now known as West Papua. My father was a jungle pilot and mechanic and we lived among the indigenous tribes there. My siblings and I made unchaperoned two day, 3000 mile, flights to and from a boarding school in the Philippines for high school, coming home for two and a half months in the summer and about two weeks over the holidays. Every couple years, our family would pack up and come back to the United States for a couple months. In other words, traveling has simply been a way of my life, and I love it.

What I don’t love, though, is the fact that I have a major mental block when it comes to learning new languages. Which seems odd to me, since I make my living with words. But for whatever reason, I’ve always struggled to learn new languages. Even though I spent most of my childhood in countries where my English was not even a second language, I bumbled and blundered my way through on the bare bones of the native tongues, not because I was lazy, but because it was the best I could do. In fact, I often taught my friends to speak English so we could communicate, as it always came much easier to them than it did to me.

The thing is, one of the most effective ways to endear yourself to people in another country is to learn something about them, and in particular, to at least attempt to learn enough of their language to show you’re not coming to them with an entitled attitude.

So with every trip I take, I make a point to learn a few catch-phrases and carry around a pocket English-to-Italian (or whatever language is spoken) dictionary, like the one Rick Steves puts out. (Rick Steves’ pocket travel guides, by the way, are BRILLIANT! Packed full of useful info; not just the dictionary!) The following list is never quite adequate, especially not when you’re slightly accident-and-blunder-prone like I am, but when I show that I’m trying, it never fails that someone will notice and take pity on me and offer to help.

Hi/Goodbye! (Informal) - Ciao/Salve!

Goodbye! (Formal) – Arrivederci!

Hello/Good morning! – Buon giorno!

Good afternoon/evening! – Buona sera!

Good night! - Buona note!

Welcome! – Benvenuti!

What is your name? - Como se chiama?

My name is Becky. - Mi chiamo Becky

It’s a pleasure (to meet you). – Piacere.

How are you? - Come va?

Fine, thank you! - Bene, grazie!

So-so – cosi-cosi

Please - Per favore

Nothing/It’s nothing/Never mind - Niente

Excuse me - Mi scusi.

I’m sorry - Mi dispiace

I don’t understand - Non capisco

I don’t speak Italian - Non parlo Italiano.

Do you speak English? - Parla inglese?

How do you say “___” in Italian? - Come si dice in Italiano “__”?

Repeat that, please.  - Ripeta, per favore.

Speak slowly, please. - Parli piano, per favore.

You are very kind. - Lei è molto gentile

“Hello” when answering the phone – Pronto!

My goodness!/Wow!/etc - Ai vello!

How much does it cost? - Quanto costa/costano?

Is the tip included? - Il servizio è incluso?

Can you help me? - Mi può aiutare?

Wait! – Aspetta!

Where is Fillunga Street? – Dove è via Fillunga?

Where it the train station? - Dove è trova la stazione?

Where is the bus stop? – Dove è la fermata dell’autobus?

Where is the public bathroom? – Dove è la toilette?

What is in this entrée? – Ciò che è nel antipasto?

 

There were several fun Italian terms, endearments, and phrases used in All the Way to Heaven. Here are a few of the yummy ones:

Tesora – My darling (literally: treasure – a term of endearment)

Un altro glorioso giorno! – It’s a glorious day!

Caffé y colazione – Coffee and breakfast

Alla Dolce Vita – The sweet life (This is the name of the guest house where Ani stays)

damigella in pericolo - damsel in distress

passerotta - sparrow (a term of endearment)

Vorrei baciarti. - I would like to kiss you.

Voglio baciarti! – (more urgent or informal) I want to/I must kiss you!

Brindiamo alla vita, all’amore, alla felicità. Salute! - We toast to life, to love, and to happiness. Cheers!

Cin cin! – Hear, hear! (informal response to a toast)

Sei ubriaco - You are drunk

Buonanotti e dormire bene - Goodnight and pleasant dreams

Cucciola - puppy (a term of endearment)

Invaiatura – The changing of the color of fruit as it turns from green to ripe.

Mi lasci senza fiato! - You leave me breathless!

Va con Dio – Go with God.

 

How I wish I could say I have these all stored on the memory files of my mind, but I’d be lying. There is one phrase I do know by heart; one I used often as I traveled from place to place during my stay in Italy. I leave you with this:

Mi sono divertita! (I had a wonderful time!)

Thanks for having me today!

But that will change...and her life will be mine to protect.

REVIEW

This was an excellent introductory novella that gave me a precise view of what to expect from this exciting new series. A great way for readers to better acquaint themselves with the hierarchy of this new world, and the fantastic new characters, whom I cannot wait to see more of! Especially Octavian. I sense a lot of defiance behind his loyalty, and I have a feeling I'll see a lot more of it as this series continues. 

I am excited to meet Farley and to see what will happen with her and the hidden world that she's about to me thrust into. This whet my appetite and I need more!!

THE FIRST FULL-LENGTH NOVEL IN THIS SERIES -- COMING IN NOVEMBER!

I was just a reporter, trying to stay ahead of my student loans. I knew the rules, and I followed them. I thought I knew how the world worked—humans lived their petty little lives in the safety of the sun. We loved and fought and—when the sun sank—we scurried behind our walls and lived in fear. That is when the monsters came out to play. And even in the safety of the sun, we knew who ruled us. The Houses. And their Scions. Everyone knows the great Houses and their Scions—they are feared and loved and hated and envied. They are the gods who walk the shadows and rule all of our lives. They are salvation and death. And somehow, I am one of them.
