Welcome to my latest release!
This week, the first book in my time travel series, The Legend of Blackbeard's Chalice, is being released! I'm excited to bring this five book series to you.
I will be posting more as the week goes on, providing you with excerpts and other tidbits about the book -- and stay tuned for a giveaway!
THE LEGEND OF BLACKBEARD'S CHALICE, Book One -- Time Travel Romance
Can souls touch through time and hold on when all odds are against them?
Claire Winslow vacations on an East Coast barrier island, content with her life and her potential future--until the illusion of a man walking the misty shore haunts her. Then one kiss--a beautiful, soulful, stolen kiss in the night--and her life changes forever.
Nearly 300 years past, Jack Porter is in hot pursuit of his kidnapped wife. Not an easy feat considering the year is 1718 and the kidnapper is the notorious pirate Blackbeard aka Edward Teach. Determined to rescue his wife and take the pirate's head in the process, Jack steals aboard the pirate's ship to save her.
Entranced sends Jack and Claire on a wild search through time, not only for the resolution to a powerful attraction between them, but also for a historical artifact that holds the key to their future happiness--the coveted silver-plated chalice made from Blackbeard's skull.

Author Feature: Renee Vincent
My good friend Renee Vincent has a new release today and I thought I would share on my blog, because this is a fabulous deal for three incredible books. If you like historical romance of the Viking kind, you will love this trilogy. And for a limited time, the complete set is only $0.99. Grab it while you can!
EMERALD ISLE TRILOGY
Available at:
Dægan Ræliksen, a wealthy chieftain from Norway's frozen fjords, secretly discovers Mara at the water's edge. He is charmed by her beauty and sensuous grace. As the days pass, his contentment with simply watching her grows thin. He can no longer deny his unabated desire for the young maiden. His search for a wife has ended.
However, Mara and Dægan come face-to-face in a time when Ireland is in turmoil - when every Irishman is being called up to fight against the Nordic foreigners. In these times of upheaval, how can Dægan make peace with Mara's father and acquire the woman he treasures? Furthermore, can Mara move past her fears and find the noble man within the savage?
For as long as she can remember, Lorraine O’Connor has had dreams of a Norse warrior kissing her. And even though she’s never fully understood the reason for her vivid subconscious imagination, she welcomes the meaningless and wanton pleasure of being in a Viking’s protective embrace—until the day she meets that brazen Northman on an impulsive vacation trip to Ireland.
Though blindsided by the relevance of her dreams and the strange familiarity of the man within them, Lorraine can’t help but feel a deep-seated intimacy toward Leif. And the more she gets to know him, the more she’s convinced they’ve shared a life together in a time long forgotten.

Teaser Quote:
“You are correct in
saying that desires often come from things we cannot easily gain—mine, being
that of your love. By all accounts, I do wish I could steal it. But I am not
that sort of man. I will wait. Forever and a day…I will wait.”
Reviews:
"This is my first
read by Renee Vincent and she has undoubtedly earned a place on my auto-buy
author’s list. This book and author earn my highest recommendations and I feel
privileged to have read one of the best.”

A tortured soul…
Breandán Mac Liam, the
strapping young hunter from Ireland’s lush forests, is in love with Mara, an
ineligible beautiful princess. For seven long years, he has been vividly
haunted by her memory, taunted by the throes of his heartache. And not even the
thought of her marriage to a Northman can extinguish the fierce, burning desire
running rampant through his heart and soul.
An innocent heart…
Mara, the spirited
Connacht princess, has no idea she is the object of the Irishman’s longing. She
is living out her days on Inis Mór, raising a troubled son and trying to endure
the cruel loneliness that afflicts her.
A deadly secret…
Ordered by the king on
his deathbed, Breandán must return to Mara and bring her through the perilous
lands of Connacht to fulfill her father’s last dying wish. But as their worlds
collide, Breandán not only finds himself wrapped in the arms of Mara’s embrace,
but thrown into a struggle to defend his honor.
With Mara caught between
the family she loves and the father she knows, can Breandán uncover the mystery
of her past and still protect her from a secret that threatens them all?
Teaser Quote:
“Mara, you are my next
breath. You are the reason I breathe at all.”

all of my expectations with her impressive writing abilities, while offering

this trilogy, yet already mourn the finality."

The Fall of Rain, Book 3
Leif Dæganssen, an archeologist from Norway, is determined to trace back his Scandinavian roots as far as the Dark Ages and find proof of their existence on the Emerald Isle. After several years of living off the west coast of Ireland, he finally uncovers an ancient artifact—an intricately decorated chest with pagan carvings—buried beneath the very porch of his coastal cottage. Knowing it only confirms the presence of a glorified Norse-influenced settlement on Inis Mór, he’s determined to establish a link between himself and those who once inhabited the rugged isle.

Are
the clues to their ancestral past hidden within the contents of the chest or
buried deep within their hearts?
Teaser Quote:
“What Lorraine has told you is the
honest truth. There’s no denying who you are. But until you go in that house
and dig up the evidence for yourself, you’ll never know who you used to be. Oh,
I know you’ll realize it one day. By then, I fear it’ll be too late. So, don’t
be a fool and let the only woman you’ve ever loved slip through your grasp.
Three days, Leif.”
Reviews:
"I
didn't believe it was possible to take Daegan and Mara's incredible love story
to another level, but I am extremely pleased to be wrong. Every word seemed to
have a purpose in helping create a beautiful and poetic ending to an
unforgettable trilogy. If you've never heard of the name Renee Vincent then
you're missing out on quality reading that's worth every second of your
undivided attention. It's an escapists dream and I will most certainly be back
for more."
