Science Fiction Fantasy Saturday - The Beast's Redemption

Welcome to my #sffsat snippet! To read other #sffsat snippets head over over here. I took a break for a little bit from participating under my other pen name, Angelia Almos, as I ran out of stuff to post, but now that I know I can post paranormal romance I'm back under my Angie Derek pen name.

The Beast's Redemption is a paranormal romance novella about a shape shifter and witch who must learn to trust in each other to break a hundred year old curse.

***

The stranger’s jaw flexed and his gaze drilled into her. The golden eyes darkened into rage, and panic rose within Belle Beaumont. She stood her ground. She was in no danger in the conference room of her family’s company. She pulled her gaze from the stranger to her father. Mercer was expectant and hadn’t caught the anger vibrating off the man.

She was pretty sure this wasn’t the distraction her father had intended when he’d sent his urgent text message not two minutes ago. She scrambled for what she’d said just a moment ago at the door—oh
yeah, she needed to speak with him. “It’ll just take a moment.”

    Enjoyed the tight sentences at the start, when the tension is up.

      This is my new blog. I think it seems to think everyone is a spammer. And the new captcha is irritating - hoping they'll g back to the old one soon.

New Year's Blog Hop

I always find the beginning of a new year kinda funny. As a mom, I tend to focus more on September as being the start of a new year. That's when our new schedule grabs hold and the rest of my year is mapped out. But you can't help but look over the previous calendar year when New Years comes along. Not with everyone talking about it. I don't do resolutions. Mostly because I don't keep them. Goals are better for me, but even with goals I tend to have this anti-goal thing going inside me. I start to feel constrained and start doing whatever I can to not achieve the goal. Yet, I was very goal oriented in my youth. I competed heavily in horses in my teens and I loved TRAINING toward a show (the goal being to do well at the show). Wasn't thrilled with the actual showing, but I thrived under the training structure. It's more about the journey for me. So in looking at your resolutions and goals check out the journey portion of achieving them and make sure it's s...

Heartbreaker Blog Hop

I don't tend to think of my heroes as being heartbreakers , but Marco Santo from Mafia Secret probably falls under that cate gory. Though he doesn 't intend to break the heroine's heart - his actions very much devastate her. As with many heart breakers, he then does some suitable groveling as well as proving his devotion to win her back.  Lessa Noelle grew up never knowing she was the illegitimate daughter of a mafia king pin. After his murder, she finds herself a surprise heiress immersed in the dangerous world of organized crime with only the guidance of Marco Santo her father’s second in command to help her. Marco searches for her father’s killer and tries to keep the realities of his life from touching her. An uneasy attraction blossoms between the two. An already dangerous situation turns volatile when a killer turns his attention to Lessa.     I'm giving away a $5 Amazon giftcard and an ecopy of Mafia Secret to one lucky winner. This is an in...
