The Autobiography of the Dark Prince…As Written By Elias Sutterby by Dan Wingreen

The Autobiography of the Dark Prince…As Written By Elias Sutterby by Dan Wingreen

Solitary scholar Elias Sutterby has little time for anything or anyone outside of his studies. He needs no friendships and has absolutely no interest in romance or the bed games played by the nobility in the White Kingdom of Ellington. And he most certainly refuses to waste a single thought on the visiting Dark Prince of the neighboring evil kingdom. Until, that is, Elias finds himself presented with an attractive offer—help the Prince pen an autobiography in exchange for rare, firsthand information about the mysterious Dark Kingdom of Mournhelm. A once in a lifetime opportunity Elias is reluctant to pass up.

Spending time with the Dark Prince, however, may be more than Elias can bear.

The Prince is vain, arrogant, much too pretty for his own good, and interested in Elias in ways he definitely doesn’t reciprocate. Though there are those odd, unidentifiable feelings. Feelings which only grow stronger as they spend more time together and Elias begins to catch tantalizing glimpses of the man behind the arrogance. Feelings Elias is determined to identify. But first, Elias has to contend with jealous royalty, scheming nobles, lovelorn barons, public courtships, and even a murder. If he weathers his trials, however, he may stumble upon a life he never dared dream of…

Perhaps, Elias has some use for love after all.

Rhapsody in Dreams by Stella May

Rhapsody in Dreams by Stella May

He saved her life. She became his muse.
Transcending time, their love was absolute—and always out of reach.
Is it too late, or do they have one more chance?

Both Kira Wagner and Al Gabriel have the gift of music. While he becomes a world-renowned pianist, she grows up to be a gifted surgeon, saving lives.

Years ago, in 1992, they met in a dream that felt too real to be just a fantasy.

She was trapped under the rubble amidst the chaos of Hurricane Andrew, a little girl of six, and he rescued her from inevitable death. For the next eight years, they lived their lives remembering the dream that changed them both and knowing that it was much more than a simple vision.

In 2000, at his concert, Al sees the face in the audience he’d never forget—the girl he once saved in a dream. So she wasn’t an illusion, after all.

But neither of these two encounters was the first time they’d met. Centuries of several lifetimes before creates an unbreakable bond between them. Miracle or curse? Mystique or reality?

Nearly a decade after that concert, fate reunites them once more.

Remembering each of their previous lives, where they met and fell in love only to be torn apart over and over again, Kira knows this to be the final reunion that destiny has in store for them. She knows they are meant, but Al doesn’t remember. Or does he?

Can two souls be united, at last, completing their centuries-long journey?

Five Years Later

About Five Years Later:

Elle Fox is a twenty-three-year-old dog mom living in a tiny house outside of Portland, Oregon. With a newly divorced mother next door who is starting over at fifty and a wealthy, narcissist father she hasn’t been able to look at since “the incident”, adulthood has become more chaotic than anticipated.

When an old friend invites her to join a group “zencation” to the Oregon Coast, Elle finds herself in the charming town of Newport in a picturesque mansion with her former high school peeps… and another man she can hardly stand to look at: her ex, Scott Darcy.

Five years ago, Scott had pulled Elle in like a rip tide. A rebel with a taste for adventure, he swept her away from small town life into the vast beauty of the outdoors. They had plans to see the world together… until he left her for someone else.

But sometimes things are not as they appear. When Elle finds an old trinket box in Scott’s truck that tells another story about their breakup, she must choose between shunning the past – and two of the most important men in her life – for good, or digging it up to heal a love that should’ve never been lost and a bond that should’ve never been broken.

Told in dual timelines, FIVE YEARS LATER explores the trials of true love, the ties of a family divided, and the challenges of forgiving those who unintentionally hurt us- including ourselves.

Crossing Boundaries

About Crossing Boundaries:

A ruthless ex. An abandoned medical degree. And a woman who will make Daniel forget all that.

When my divorce to Nick is final, the first thing my friends do is take me to get drunk. Sounds cliché, I know, but the tables turned tonight, and I don’t mean the one that I was practically dancing on.

Daniel hates me based on a false impression, and I don’t know whether I care enough to make things right…and then I don’t have a choice. Daniel doesn’t know that I’m about to break, and not because of my failed marriage, but because of that part of me that helped cause my marriage to fail. The part of me that I’ll lose forever soon.

The part of me that I love more than anything else in the world, that fades away a little more each day.

***

I thought Kayla was just like every other party girl, which is why my brother Christopher saw her first. Turns out, her problems trump mine, and she was just blowing off steam.

I’m glad I’m there when the chips fall, because I haven’t had the chance to be a friend like that in a long time. Kayla doesn’t ask for what comes next. Neither of us sees it. We thought after what we went through, that it would be smooth sailing. But we should have known better.

We should have read the signs when our so-called friend started whistling to the tune of a traitor, an instinct I picked up while serving overseas. Will our love be enough to get through it?

And more important, can I catch Kayla again, before she breathes her last breath…

Solace From Shadows

About Solace From Shadows:

Solace From Shadows, the first supernatural romance novel in the completed Heart and Soul series, is a tribute to lost souls who stumble from the shadows of who they were, and into the light of who they were meant to be…

What happens when every moment, tucked within five brief days, becomes a memory? Each touch, and every whisper becomes a soul’s sustenance to live, to hold on, when all seems lost? What if these few days were all that remained in the hourglass of a life lived? A day of rescue. A day of discovery. A day of togetherness. Another of resolution. On the last day…is it one of hope or tragedy? Life or resurrection…or both?

After a tragic wreck claims Elaine Pearson’s family, she embarks on a solo hiking trek into the Blue Ridge Mountains. She only wants to escape her blighted past and the pain of her broken heart. But through a chance encounter with a protective, mysterious stranger, she is thrust into a world where dark creatures that haunted her childhood nightmares are now stalking her from the shadows…and trailing her up a mountain.

During a summer sabbatical, Duke University geneticist, Dr. Ian Kearney, finds Elaine stumbling along the Bartram Trail alone. His slumbering hybrid vampire/lycan soul slowly begins to awaken, and he is unable to resist or deny the persistent soul stirrings that leave him craving a mate. His forgotten human self, however, is also awakening…and the man within wants everything he knows he shouldn’t–her.

Solace From Shadows introduces Elaine, a young widow trying to make amends with her painful past; and Ian, a unique hybrid embodying both vampire and lycan DNA who is searching for more than the hollow existence he’s created among humans. Their struggle to find peace, while coping with a resurrecting past, becomes a test of determination and fortitude when letting go is impossible.

R. W. Patterson recognizes the books in the Heart and Soul series are recommended for Adult Audiences as they contain mature scenes and violence. She also recognizes for story flow, readers are encouraged to read the series in order: Solace from Shadows, Light and Shadows, Dark Night of the Soul, and Light Over Dark Water. Each book is not intended as a stand-alone work.
