Blurb:
With these three virtues, we shall rise. With these three, we shall conquer.

Truth. Honor. Blood.

 

To my people, the sky-reigning Empyreans, Intention Day is sacred...

 

                                                                        Truth…

 

To me, it’s the day my carefully crafted lie crumbles and my truth gives way to my ruin. The intense power surging through my veins is revealed, immediately coveted by those eager to exploit me for what they deem a greater good. If they have their way, the future I long for will be ripped away. But I am a warrior born to fly. To fight. Not to be caged and controlled.

 

The great scale of the goddess Neera has tipped out of my favor. The pans teeter between weighty punishment and deadly opportunity. My choices? Capture my most formidable enemy before next Intention Day, or forfeit my wings.

 

                                                                        Honor…

 

But life’s loftiest plans are often a breath away from disaster, and tragedy strikes as unpredictably as a bolt of lightning. When I find myself at the mercy of my greatest enemy, the terror known as the Shark of the Sea, the monster who killed the person I loved most, I accept my fate. My death. But the Shark does not lash out in revenge for all I’ve done. He tells me his true name is Crest. And while he calls me a Scourge, he honors his orders to guard me.

 

                                                                        Blood…

 

Forced together, Crest reveals that the truth only exists in the place between our perspectives and shares his hope to garner peace before the land is further soaked with the blood of sky and sea. The longer I am among his kind, the more I wonder if he might be right. Could an alliance be the salvation of both our peoples?

 

I am Elira, great Scourge of the Sky.

He is Crest, cunning Shark of the Sea.

Together... we could be unstoppable.

A great evil waits for me…

And it won’t stop until it swallows me whole.

 

I’ve been ripped from Dark Castle, thrown back into the mortal world where I don’t belong.

 

Here, they think I’m crazy. They’ve locked me up and forced pills down my throat, telling me I’ve lost my mind.

 

And maybe I have…

 

I’ve fallen for three monsters after all.

 

Prince Airic, Knight Reis, and shapeshifter Wels—they are the sinister men of my nightmares and my deepest fantasies. I can still feel their touches, hear their voices in my head, but they’re in danger.

 

I have to get back to them because if the shadows close in, I can lose everything.

 

The kingdom.

 

My monsters.

 

And ultimately, myself.

When my father tries to force me to marry one of his cronies, I run away to my half-brother's home.

Even better? He offers me an out, a shotgun wedding in Vegas.

I just don’t realize he has an ulterior motive.

But he doesn’t know I have one too…

Surprise Heiress Series

 

THREE Rom-Com books are NEW & LIVE!

Treat yourself to the Surprise Heiress Series by Pru Warren now!

https://geni.us/SurpriseHeiress

FREE with Kindle Unlimited

When a university librarian they barely remember leaves three unrelated women incredible estates in her will, the women become Surprise Heiresses.

In Book 1: City girl Grace McReady has always let men make her decisions. But is she just a pretty face? Grace discovers she has hidden depth and a surprisingly innovative brain when she inherits a huge, decaying mansion in western Tennessee.

Rem Jackson was the town’s Golden Boy until everything went wrong. There’s only one thing standing between Rem and his dream of saving the town (and his reputation)—and she just moved into the River House to torment him.

Add a warrior kitty, an aged feminist who swings a wicked cane, and a pair of thigh-high stiletto boots, and you’ve got a Breath of Fresh Heiress—a sexy romantic comedy.

About the Author:

Pru Warren (who is writing this in the third person as if simply too modest to toot her own horn) bores easily and thus has been a daydreamer since roughly the Bronze Age. She is addicted to writing because in a novel, you can make things come out the RIGHT way. Life and karma really ought to take note; there are BETTER SOLUTIONS to these pesky daily annoyances!Beside her in-the-laptop God Complex, Pru laughs often and easily, loathes cooking, and plays way too much solitaire. She’s plotting world domination even as you read this, as long as she doesn’t have to wake up too early to accomplish it.

The Stage

He leaned his head back on the couch and blinked back the moisture that filled his eyes.

Engrossed in sketching on her iPad, Jessi never looked up when Tommy entered the bedroom. “Did you pick a movie?” she asked. “This design just hit me when I saw the way Tessa dressed her doll, and I wanted to sketch it out while it’s fresh in my head. I’m almost—”

Tommy cut her off with a hug. He buried his face in her hair, inhaling her scent and remembering the first time he had lain eyes on her across a football field in college. He had fallen in love almost immediately, and he never wanted to spend a day apart. “I love you so much, Jessi.”

She wasn’t prepared for the emotional embrace and traced a soothing hand down his back. “I love you too, baby. What’s going on?”

“I . . . I don’t even know where to begin.” He pulled back so he could look into her pale blue-gray eyes.

She stared back at him with concern, trying to read the pain in his gaze.

Tommy exhaled a deep breath. “Do you remember when it was just me and you? Before we were married? Before . . . the threesomes?”

“Of course I remember.” The corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. “We were so young. And so in love.”

“Do you ever think about what our lives would be like if we stuck it out? By ourselves?”

“I used to. But it hasn’t crossed my mind in a very long time.” She held his face between her palms and leaned closer so their faces were a few inches apart. “Are you seriously going there again? After all these years? I love you, Tommy, more than anyone could love another human being. And I have that same love for Angel. I love you even more for bringing him into my life. He gave me Tessa. He was the missing puzzle piece to our lives. We weren’t completely happy when it was just the two of us. There was something missing. We both felt it. And that missing piece was Angel. We needed him in order to make us whole. Don’t you see? It was destiny for the three of us to become a family.” 

She nodded, although she knew it wasn’t true. With one last soft meeting of their lips, and a hug that conveyed everything in her heart, she left this wonderful man standing on the curb in front of O’Hare Airport, and she knew she’d never see him again.
