Violca's Dragon by Leilani Love ♥ Book Blast & GIVEAWAY ♥ (Paranormal Romance)

Violca knows life can change instantly. Her parents died suddenly, leaving her to raise four younger sisters and keep them safe ~ even from the golden-eyed stranger.

Chase knows the Grey sisters possibly hold the key to his fate. He is determined to to get close, protect them and bring them to his Dragon King. What Violca doesn't know is that once a dragon decides he wants something, there is no stopping him from getting it.

Chase stays behind her as she walks on a path that leads away from the cabin, heading near the direction of the river. He knows Violca is aware of him and smiles to himself, knowing she is not turning around because she is trying to ignore him.

When she stumbles, he reacts quickly and is at her side, his arms around her before she can fall. She squirms, pushing away from him, almost falling with the effort.

Once he is sure she’s okay he carefully releases her. Standing in front of her, he looks her over and when she finally looks up at him, he notices that her violet eyes are darker as she looks at him angrily. “I didn’t ask you for your help,” she snaps.

Chase knows that smiling at her right now will not help him, nor will telling her she looks beautiful when she’s angry. Watching her breasts rising up and down as she breathes, her violet eyes sparkling with anger and the straight line of her lips, he fights the urge to kiss her. “You didn’t, but that doesn’t mean I want to see you hurt.”

She glares at him. “Why are you here? What do you want with me?”

Leilani Love is a proud mother of two very active boys. A military wife she loves getting to meet new people wherever they move. She loves to read books crossing many genres. Her love affair with dragons started when she was young and one day dreams of having her own dragon and black panther.

A Taste of Chardonnay by Heather Heyford ♥ Book Tour & GIVEAWAY ♥ (Contemporary Romance)

When the richly bred, poorly raised daughter of a notorious Napa Valley winemaker competes with Hollywood’s hottest man in an unlikely race to see who can do the most good, who will win?

A Behind the Scenes Glimpse of Author Heather Heyford & the Writing of A TASTE OF CHARDONNAY

Did you know that sixty-five percent of us take in the world through our eyes—that is, through images, pictures, colors? The rest of us learn by listening or actually doing.

As a writer and artist I’m definitely one of those visual people, but as a wine-lover, I’m all about ‘hands-on!’ A recent visit to northern California’s wine country during the crush was a feast for all the senses. No wonder Napa attracts 4.7 million visitors per year.

Vineyards undulating beneath blazing blue skies, innumerable musical performances, and barrels of wine to be tasted are why they call Napa Valley, ‘America’s Eden.’ Jaw-dropping wine mansions tucked into the luscious scenery had me oohing and aahing as we passed one magnificent structure after another.

What would it be like to live in one of those grand homes? After each tasting and tour, I dashed back to the car and began furiously scribbling the deets in my notebook. (I take notes on paper, and write manuscripts on my MacBook Air.)

By the time my husband and I boarded the plane home to the east coast, my mind was overflowing with ideas. And today—cheers! Raise your glass to Book 1 of THE NAPA WINE HEIRESSES Series, starting with A Taste of Chardonnay!

The St. Pierre sisters tumbled into the Napa County jail, stopping short at the transparent barrier in front of the reception desk. Chardonnay vaguely recalled the floor plan from her last visit. From a holding cell in the rear, they could hear Papa bellowing in his unmistakable Franglais.

“I am American citizen! I have gun license! Wait until my daughter gets here. She is lawyer! I will sue your—”

Papa had always had a flair for the dramatic.

Following an interminable wait during which the incessant click of her older sister’s pacing echoed off the tile walls, they were let into a processing area and a young officer holding a clipboard came out to meet them.

“Which one of you is”—he raised the clipboard to eye level and squinted—“Sauvignon?” he said with the audible equivalent of an eye roll.

This guy must be new to the force. The St. Pierres weren’t accustomed to going many places in the valley without being recognized.

Savvy stepped forward. “I am.”

Thank heavens Savvy was an attorney. Well, almost. She’d recently graduated law school but had yet to take the bar.

“And these are my sisters, Chardonnay and Merlot.”

The cop stared.

Was it their fault Papa had named his daughters for grape varietals?

He started to smile, furrowed his brow, and then hitched up his pants with his free hand.

With a half chuckle, he said, “Cheese-oh-man. You can’t make this stuff up. Wait till I tell the folks back in Ohio.”

(“Ya’ll want some scones?”)While in Europe, Heather was forced by her cruel parents to spend Saturdays in the leopard vinyl back seat of their Peugeot, motoring from one medieval pile to the next for the lame purpose of ‘learning something.’ What she soon learned was how to allay the boredom by stashing a Cosmo under the seat. Now a recovering teacher, Heather writes love stories, feeds hardboiled eggs to suburban foxes, and makes art in the Mid-Atlantic. She is represented by the Nancy Yost Literary Agency (NYLA, @nyliterary) in New York City.
