Blurb:

She was never meant to be his…

 

Avrum Brenin should have died in the same fire that claimed the lives of his mother and brother. Instead, he was granted immortality by the powerful vampire, Lord Henri. Under his diligent care, Avrum revels in the world’s most lavish splendors. But as payment for this extravagant lifestyle, he must look after Haven, Lord Henri’s human rescue. A task that proves far more complicated than it seems.

 

After stumbling onto Haven barely clothed and bound at the wrists, Avrum discovers that Lord Henri may not be the salvation he once believed. While the more time he spends with Haven, the more determined he becomes to protect her.

 

When the passion between them ignites, Avrum finds himself caught between honor and loyalty. Will he stand with the man who rescued him? Or risk it all to save the woman who captivated him?

 

From USA Today Bestselling Author Harper A. Brooks comes a reimagining of her fang-tastic paranormal romance, His Haven!

 

His Haven is now a standalone vampire romance.



Harper A. Brooks lives in a small town on the New Jersey shore. Even though classic authors have always filled her bookshelves, she finds her writing muse drawn to the dark, magical, and romantic. But when she isn't creating entire worlds with sexy shifters or legendary love stories, you can find her either with a good cup of coffee in hand or at home snuggling with her furry, four-legged son, Sammy.

She writes urban fantasy and paranormal romance.

#CoverReveal - The Hidden Kingdom by @thewritersarah

 

Title: The Hidden Kingdom (Kingdom of the White Sea, 3)
Author: Sarah M. Cradit
Genre: Epic Fantasy, Grimdark Fantasy, Fantasy
Cover Designer: Regina Wamba
Editor: Emily A. Lawrence
Publication Date: July 27th, 2021
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR

Blurb:

The perilous and provocative world of Kingdom of the White Sea, by USA Today bestselling fantasy author Sarah M. Cradit, comes to a startling conclusion in The Hidden Kingdom.

 

A kingless crown will fall. A crownless kingdom will rise.

 

 

It all began with a desperate demand from a broken crown. Four brides. Four Reaches. Unquestionable and absolute fealty from the mothers and fathers who were given no choice but to comply. A startling sequence of events followed, with stunning repercussions that reached across the entire realm.

 

Now, the king is dead. The would-be brides have forged their own destinies—some for the better, others for worse. Not all who started this dance will finish it. Those left will wear the lingering scars with a mix of pride and remorse.

 

From his stolen throne, Oldwin rules with a hand that grows shakier by the hour, as his once unparalleled magic dwindles. His grasp on power is reliant upon his truths remaining hidden by the shadows, just beyond the reach of the fraught kingdom.

 

But Oldwin is not the only powerful sorcerer in the kingdom. There are others who would see the terrible circle of their traitorous past come to a decisive end. Their moonlight maneuvering saved the life of Dain Rhiagain, and from his line the last sprig of hope remains: a chance to save the kingdom... to save all the worlds.

 

Dain’s three children, each raised in obliviousness, must now prepare to confront the staggering truth of why they were born, and what they must now do, if the kingdom is to survive the final days ahead.

 

But theirs is not the only sacrifice required. The dying words of an old man will stir one man and his Reach toward a new destiny, one that will decide the fate of all the worlds...

Blurb:

What’s a girl to do when she loses her job, her best friend goes missing, and she starts to see, hear and feel things that aren’t there?

 

Moonlight Grove is a small, peaceful town full of familiar faces. It’s perfect. Until my best friend, Lucy Warren, goes missing.

 

Enter Simon Caldwell.

 

The man is attractive. A bit mysterious, and a new face in my sleepy little town. He’s a paranormal investigator who’s come to Moonlight Grove looking into reports of the supernatural kind. It all sounds like good TV to me. When I begin experiencing things I can’t explain, he may be the only one who can help.

 

Maybe there’s more to Lucy than meets the eye. What if her disappearance is linked to all the crazy things happening?

 

With Simon’s help, I’m determined to find her and to ignore the way he makes me feel while I do it.




Britni Hill is a paranormal and contemporary romance author. She spends her days as a hairstylist, and her nights with the characters in her head striving to write real, page turning romance.

Small little thumps come from Lucy’s bedroom, and I stop moving. I listen, waiting. It happens again. Two seconds later, a small white fluff of fur appears in the doorway. Startling blue eyes blink at me.

It takes me a minute, but then I realize what I’m looking at. It’s a cat. A kitten really. Small and furry.

Stepping closer, I freeze when another kitten prowls into the open door. Then I do a double take. The second fluff of fur is identical to the first, down to the intelligence brimming behind shining blue eyes.

A funny feel takes hold of me as I stand in the hall staring at them. They both sit, blocking the door.

Okay … synchronized sitting.

That’s cool.

One blinks.

Then the other.

Suddenly, I feel like I’m falling into a dark tunnel. I try to snap out of it, but I can’t bring myself to look away.

I’m stuck. Falling deeper.

“What are you looking at?”

Jumping out of my skin, I press a hand to my chest.

“You scared me,” I hiss.

At least he broke the weird identical kitten hypnosis that was happening.

“Sorry.”

I point toward Lucy’s bedroom.

“Cats.”

“Oh, cute.” Simon steps toward them. As if on cue, their tails swish. Left. Then right. And back to left. He pauses, looking to where I’m frozen in place. “Did you not know she had cats?”

I look to the cats, getting a weird murder-y twin vibe from them. Any second now, they’ll start meowing redrum at me.

“No.” I shake my head. Simon’s brows pull together as he studies the tail-twitching fluffs of fur.

“You really think they’re cute?” I don’t. Not at all. They’re creepy times one hundred, and I can’t put my finger on why exactly. A full-body shudder rolls through me, and I carefully slink forward.

It feels weird to go in Lucy’s bedroom without her here, plus I’m not sure I’d be welcome by the feline security guards, so I bypass it and head to the end of the hall where her office is. The door is shut as usual.

Come to think of it, I’ve never been in this room.

I hesitate with my hand on the knob. Simon steps up behind me, the warmth from his body invading all my space.

“Do you mind?” I lean away from him, huffing. The last thing I need is his muscles and yummy smell clouding my already crazy brain.

“What are you waiting for?”

Dropping my hand, I turn just enough to see him over my shoulder. I’m not sure what I expected to find by coming here. Signs of a struggle? Maybe. A clue to tell me where my friend is? Probably. But now that we’re here in her space without her permission and her two weird cats are staring at me, I kind of want to leave.

“I don’t know. The cats freaked me out. Okay?” I hiss at him.

I push the door open, and something whispers through the air. Another chill rips down my spine, and I stop where I am.

“Did you hear that?” I ask. Simon’s forehead wrinkles, but he shakes his head.

I frown and listen for it again. But nothing happens.

I’m seriously losing it.

With Simon hot on my heels, I make my way into Lucy’s office.

It looks normal in here too. More oils. Lucy’s laptop. Crystals litter the windowsill. I pick up a pretty purple one and take a deep breath, rubbing my fingers over the surface. Something about it soothes me.

Across the room, a bookcase takes up an entire wall.

There’s nothing in here that’s going to put me at ease. Nothing stands out. Nothing holds the answer I’m looking for.

Simon holds a leather-bound book in his hand. “I think your friend is a witch.”

“What? No.” A laugh bubbles up.

“This is a spell book.” He gestures my way with the book in his hand. He grabs something else from the shelf, holding it up. “This is sage.” He gestures to the three mason jars filling the shelf next to him. “That’s moon water.”

“Okay, but that’s not a … real thing.” My lips roll inward. Is it?

“You think ghosts are real but not witches?” he asks.

My hands go to my hips. “I never said I think ghosts are real.”

“You don’t think ghosts are real?” He frowns. “Why did you agree to work with me?”

My mouths opens, but I’m at a loss for what to say. It’s clear he really believes in all this supernatural stuff, but I don’t know what I really think.

Witches?

“This was dumb. I don’t know why I wanted to come here again,” I blurt, overwhelmed by everything happening.

He’s giving me a look. One I’ve seen a lot lately. One that says he’s not quite sure what to think of me.
