IT'S THEIR TURN!
The next generation of the Knights of
Black Swan have been inducted and vested with all the privileges and
responsibilities of the legends in whose shadows they took their training. They
are coming into their prime as servants of The Order, but still have most of
their lives ahead. Or so each one hopes.
New York Times and USA Today bestselling
author, Victoria Danann, brings us a sizzling new take on the Knights of Black
Swan. The boys are all grown up and bursting at the seams looking for action.
The new Director of Operations is cute,
curvilicious and has Falcon reeling. And he doesn't need distractions when he's
busy saving the world.
The epic saga that has won BEST PARANORMAL
ROMANCE SERIES the past three years in a row (Reviewers Choice Awards, the
Paranormal Romance Guild) continues with a new crop of vampire hunters that we
already know and love. Preorder TODAY and be one of the first to find out why
KBS is called astonishing, breathtaking, nail biting, spectacular, unique, and
a wild and sexy ride.
Storm wanted to appear
nonchalant, but couldn’t help sneaking a glance at Ram when he said, “I’ll bet
Elora would like to sashay by there tonight. We know she has a thing for
talking vampire.”
Ram caught the
mischievous gleam in Storm’s eye and knew Storm was teasing, but it was also a
dig that didn’t go down easy. After three children and years of married life,
the way Baka and Elora had interacted, back in the day, still bothered Ram. And
Storm knew it.
Rammel carefully set his
whiskey tumbler down on the table beside him before launching himself out of
his chair so fast it looked like he’d been sitting on an eject mechanism. He
flew across the space that separated them and attempted to get Storm in a
headlock.
“What are you doing?!?”
Storm wheezed, turning red and trying to get his breath while Ram’s forearm cut
off his windpipe. “It was a joke!”
Ram didn’t respond to
that protest because he didn’t care if it was a joke. He jerked Storm out of
the chair by his neck, which was a testament to Ram’s strength because Storm
was still a big well-muscled guy. As soon as they fell to the floor together,
Ram hauled back and launched a fist that caught Storm in the side. Storm
reacted by rolling over so that he could get enough room to clip Ram on the
side of the face. Kay, of course, was yelling and doing his best to break it
up, but in the process took punishing hits from both of them.
Several of the other
knights came to assist Kay and fifteen minutes later, the three veteran members
of B Team were standing in the Sovereign’s office, being called on the carpet
like they were kids.
“The. Hel.” said Glen,
clearly furious. “Every trainee in Jefferson Unit has already heard that B Team
were brawling in our own club lounge, rolling around on the floor like… like…”
“Brawlers?” Kay
suggested.
“Famous legendary elite
vampire hunters indeed.” The sarcasm was dripping from every word Glen uttered.
“A fine example you set for the next generation tonight.”
“He started it,” Storm
mumbled.
“You did not say what I
think you just said,” Glen looked incredulous. “Is this some kind of midlife
crisis?”
That hit a mark. All
three men looked horrified. “We’re no’ yet even thirty five,” Ram protested.
“You’re acting like
you’re not yet five.”
Ram glared at Storm.
“There are just some things you do no’ say about an elf’s mate.”
Glen pulled back and
studied Ram for a minute. “I don’t believe there is any power in heaven or hel
that could make me believe Engel Storm insulted Elora Laiken.”
“Well,” Ram hedged, “he
did no’ insult her per se.”
“Per se,” Glen repeated.
“Aye. Per se.”
Glen threw up his hands.
“You know, I don’t really care what happened. If you were Z Team, I’d just roll
my eyes and say, ‘What else is new?’ The three of you are going to be guest
speakers at one ethics and decorum class per grade during this term.”
“Oh, for…” Kay started.
“Not. Another. Word.”
Glen walked over and opened the door to his office. “Get out. And shame on
you.”
Standing in the outer
offices, Kay looked at the door that had been shut in his face and said, “I
didn’t do anything! In fact I tried to stop it.”
Ram and Storm started
walking down the hall toward the elevator. Storm turned to Ram and said, “Look
what you did now.”
“You want me to? Pull
your shirt up so I can see.”
“There’s nothing to see.
You on the other hand are going to need some ice soon if you don’t want that
eye to swell shut.”
Ram reached up and
touched it. “You got me good,” he smiled.
Storm’s face split into
a proud smile. “You’re gonna be wearing my mark for a while. Elora’s gonna chew
your royal rear end when she hears about this.”
By that time Kay had
caught up. From behind them he said, “Maybe you two are having a midlife
crisis.”

Co-host of the ROMANCE BETWEEN THE PAGES
podcast.
Her paranormal romances come with
uniquely fresh perspectives on "imaginary" creatures, characters, and
themes. She adds a dash of scifi, a flourish of fantasy, enough humor to make
you laugh out loud, and, occasionally, enough steam to make you squirm in your
chair. Her heroines are independent femmes with flaws and minds of their own
whether they are aliens, witches, demonologists, werewolves, hybrids, psychics,
or past life therapists. Her heroes are hot and hunky, but they also have
brains, character, and good manners... usually.
The rich characterizations come from being
a lifelong student of behavior, casually, and a serious student of behavior
academically. She also studied comparative religion, myths, and Dark Ages
history.
Victoria lives in The Woodlands, Texas
with her husband and a very smart, mostly black German Shepherd dog.
