- Mortal Obligations by Nichole Chase
Seventeen year old Ree McKenna has three goals: get through high school, convince her crush she is more than his best friend’s little sister, and save money for college. Fate, though, has other plans for her. After the untimely death of her older brother, Ree is haunted by dreadful nightmares and terrifying visions. To make matters worse, Ree has started to suspect that something dangerous is stalking her from the shadows.
A night full of frightening surprises leaves Ree with unsettling news. Gifted by the gods with unusual powers, she must devote herself to a battle that could very well lead to not only her death, but the demise of everyone she knows and loves. After all, Ree is the only mortal standing between the Earth and utter darkness.
Set in Savannah, Ga, Mortal Obligation is the first book of The Dark Betrayal Trilogy.
EXCERPT:
He sighed and smiled a little. “Ree, you are so beautiful. Do you know that? It makes it impossible to think of you as I should. But I’m trying to keep my promise. I'm supposed to take care of you like a sister. I don't think Tristan would appreciate it if I did what I want to do.” His cheeks colored a little, and he looked down at the ground. “God, I'm so lame.”
“What makes you think his sister would appreciate it?” His face looked horrified, so she smiled to let him in on the joke. “Really, you think I’m beautiful?”
“Very.” His fingers were gentle as they brushed the hair out of her eyes and lingered on her cheek. Unconsciously she leaned into his hand and sighed. Several moments passed while they stood like that, still and lost in their thoughts. Carefully, she raised her hand and laced her fingers through his. Leaning down he rested his forehead against hers, and her heart thumped in her chest. A small smile played along his lips and she blushed.
“You can hear that, can't you?”
“Mmhmm.”
“Not fair,” she whispered. Lifting their entwined hands, he placed her palm on his chest. The warmth of him flowed up her arm, leaving a wave of heat behind. Standing very still, blood rushing in her ears, she could feel his heart beating under her fingers. When she shifted closer to him the rhythm spiked, and it was her turn to smile.
Masters at Arms is an introduction to the Rescue Me series, which needs to be read first. The book begins the journey of three men, each on a quest for honor, acceptance, and to ease his unspoken pain. Their paths cross at one of the darkest points in their lives. As they try to come to terms with the aftermath of Iraq--forging an unbreakable bond--they band together to start their own BDSM club. But will they ever truly become masters of their own fates? Or would fate become masters of them? (Book One in the Rescue Me series.)
NOTE FROM AUTHOR: This is an introduction to the erotic-romance series RESCUE ME. The Happily Ever After endings and much hotter scenes come in the following Romance novels. The characters can't be contained to a single book, so you need to read the books in order to follow the men in their romances. (The author doesn't rehash what has come before in the series and the books are not stand-alone novels. The characters continue to work on their relationships even after their happy endings, so you'll get to see them again in more than cameo appearances.)
CONTENT WARNING: There are some intense themes in this book, including surviving the death of a spouse, dealing with the horrors of incest and being tortured as a sex slave, and dealing with the aftermath of war (including a wounded warrior with PTSD and an amputation injury). These are the sometimes ugly details of their pasts but are told in real time to help readers appreciate how far the characters have come as the series progresses.
- Nobody's Angel by Kallypso Masters- Book 2
Marc d'Alessio might own a BDSM club with his fellow military
veterans, Adam and Damián, but he keeps all women at a distance. When Marc
rescues Angelina Giardano from a disastrous first BDSM experience at the club,
however, an uncharacteristic attraction leaves him torn between his safe, but
lonely world, and a possible future with his angel.
Angelina leaves BDSM
behind only to have her dreams plagued by the masked Italian angel who rescued
her at the one and only BDSM club she ever went to. When she meets Marc at a bar
in her hometown, she can't shake the feeling she knows him—but has no idea why
he reminds her of her angel.
Marc's search-and-rescue partner, widower
Luke Denton, confides he believes Angelina is the angel his wife promised to
send him, convincing Marc she is meant for Luke. A painful incident from his
past keeps Marc from letting any woman drive a wedge between him and a
friend.
When the abusive Dom from Angelina's past threatens, Marc's
protective instincts kick in; he must keep her safe. Again at the Masters at
Arms Club, she turns the tables on Marc—and turns his safe, controlled world
upside down.
This is Book Two in the RESCUE ME series and should be read
after the free introduction to series, MASTERS AT ARMS. This book includes a
strong secondary plot with Adam and Karla of MASTERS, including a dramatic
ending that will set up their story that follows, NOBODY'S HERO. The novels in
the series are not stand-alones and need to be read in order to understand and
keep up with the events in the lives of these recurring characters. Also expect
couples to continue to work on issues AFTER their happy endings. Marc and
Angelina will return in each book, but as the primary characters in SOMEBODY'S
ANGEL, Book Five.)
