WINNER and A CONTEST

I give, and I give. I'm a giver.

First, I'm giving to the winner of the ARC of All For You (the contest on my website, not the Blog Hop), who happens to be...

The Nephilim Book 1
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Length: Novel

Release Date: December 24, 2012

He will keep her safe, no matter what it takes.

Someone-or something-is stalking Abby Marcheson. Luckily, she has her brother's hunky friend Seth to keep her safe. Abby falls easily into her protected life, with Seth constantly by her side, and when he asks her out on a date, she's eager to accept.

But Seth is much more than he seems. A Nephilim, a son of Angels with wings of his own, Seth is bound to spend his life hunting the Shemyaza, evil descendants of Angels. He's kept his wings hidden from Abby in order not to frighten her, but as her stalker becomes bolder, Seth begins to suspect that a Shem has Abby in its sights...

As their flirtation escalates into full-blown passion, Seth is torn. Should he reveal his true nature to the beautiful, trusting Abby? Will she accept him, wings and all, or will Abby flee her guardian angel and fall prey to the sinister force that wishes her harm?

Warning: This book contains explicit sex and graphic language.

JUDY PETERSON!

Congratulations, Judy! Your book is in your email.

Next, I'm giving away an advanced reader copy (ARC) of The Hob. Anyone want a little Robin Goodfellow?

The Gray Court Book 4
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Length: Novel

Release Date: January 22, 2013

Robin Goodfellow has met his match.

When the Black Queen kidnaps one of the White Queen's nephews, Robin Goodfellow is sent to ensure that the young prince safely returns to the bosom of his family. True to his role as Oberon's Hobgoblin, he is ready for anything...except meeting his truebond, the very delicious, very human Michaela Exton.

Michaela has dreamed about a flame-haired rogue named Robin Goodfellow since she was a little girl, but everyone knows Puck doesn't really exist. In real life, it's a dark-eyed man named Ringo who makes her heart beat faster.

She is closer to her dream man than she thinks, and nobody knows it better than Robin, who wears the guise of Ringo. But there's competition for her love in the form of Lord Raven, who holds a secret that will rock the foundation of Robin's world. As a Black Court delegate does the unthinkable, leaving an enraged, grief-stricken Robin hanging onto his humanity by a thread, only Michaela has the power to bring him back from the killing-if she survives.

Warning: This book contains explicit sex, graphic language, Robin Goodfellow and... Really. Do I need to say any more?
