Cover Reveal & Giveaway!!! Deeper by Allyn Lesley




Cover Reveal hosted by Obsessive Pimpettes Promotions








Everything Avianna Linton thought she knew was shattered in one traffic stop. With her life turned upside down, she flees to the bright lights of New York City hoping for anonymity and a new life. 

Rising from nothing, Noah Adams holds onto his power and control with a bone-crushing grip. No one dared challenge his authority until her...

Avi’s disdain for Noah is barely contained, and Noah does everything he can to restrain himself—a concept he has little experience with.

There’s more between the two than either of them realize. A force looms near, hovering with deadly precision and motivated solely by revenge.

Avi wonders who her new friends truly are and if she’s already in too deep. Noah, accustomed to getting what he wants, will do whatever it takes to draw Avi's in deeper. 

Deeper is an interracial romantic suspense novel by new author Allyn Lesley.

Noah shoved his hands in his pockets so he wouldn’t touch her without permission. “What’s your name?”
She straightened her posture, meeting his stare while folding her arms over her chest. “What’s yours?”  
Noah laughed out loud.
Well look at this. She has the balls to question me to my face?
He stepped closer to the woman who piqued his interest. “I like that you don’t scare easily. But I asked you first.”
Damn, she’s short. Her head just reached his shoulder. His gaze lowered to her open-toe gold shoes that showed off the cutest digits he’d ever seen. He appreciated that even in heels he towered over her. Her glare greeted him when he returned his attention back to her face.
“And I asked you second,” she countered with a hand on her hip. “We could play this all night, Mister.”
Noah’s gaze deliberately dropped from her tasty-looking lips down to her green dress with the cutout that flirted with her thick thighs. Noah slowly retraced his path up her body and conveyed his intent.
Oh yeah, I’m so fucking you tonight.
By the time their eyes connected again, Noah’s grin had split his face, revealing a set of deep dimples and gleaming white teeth. She failed miserably at making her small smile into a scowl. His grin disappeared when she took a step backward.
“Noah Adams.” The name you’ll be screaming later. He stretched his right hand out, hoping she’d be polite enough to shake. The feel of her hand would have to hold him until he got to the rest in his bed later.





**Deeper will be released January 2015**

Blog Tour, Excerpt & Giveaway! The Pure Souls Trilogy by Killian McRae

Pure Souls Trilogy
By Killian McRae


Pure and Sinful:

APPROPRIATE FOR MATURE READERS ONLY.

When it turns out your ex was actually a sexy demon sent by the devil to seduce you to evil, you'd think the next guy, no matter what he's like, couldn't be a worse decision. Enter Father Marc Angeletti, a smooth talking piece of forbidden fruit with onyx eyes and a razor wit, and Riona Dade may as well start packing her luggage for damnation now. But come Hell or... well, Hell, Marc, Riona, and demigod Dee Zitka have a mission: serve as a Pure Soul and vanquish Lucifer's minion scum from the face of the Earth to protect humanity from evil.
Oh, and don't get seduced into sin yourself, because a fallen Pure Soul is one of Lucifer's biggest thrills. As long as Riona and Marc can keep things professional and north of the sheets, no problem, right?
Yeah, that worked out great in the Thornbirds, too...


Once You Go Demon:

Heaven hath no fury like a demon reborn...

Proving that Big Boss is not without a sense of whimsy, Hell’s former all-star demon, Jerry Romani, finds himself a traded player in the classic war of good versus evil. Taking up residence in the human shell left behind by the death and damnation of Marc Angeletti, Jerry seizes on the chance both to win a trip to the pearly gates and reclaim the heart of witch Riona Dade. Not pleased with the butt-kicking the Pure Souls served up, Lucifer enlists his fallen angel compatriots, the Grigori, to stir up trouble topside. Time ticks closer to the inevitable: Marc's resurrection as a demon on Earth, and Jerry is determined to protect Riona and his shiny new Pure Soul status at all costs. He quickly finds two thousand years of living la vida demonica aren’t easily undone, however, and old habits are hard to break. Walking the true path is problematic, and Jerry finds his role reversed when he must convince Riona that it’s in her best interest to do the same. Even if letting her give into temptation is more conducive to his efforts. And just as Project Woo a Witch starts bearing some forbidden fruit, Destiny delivers one hell of bitch slap. Jerry may have been sent back to Earth to do something Riona can't, something that will ensure the only thing he'll be kissing where she's concerned is his ass goodbye.


With God Intent:

Dionysius Zitka: Pure Soul. Demigod. Widower.

The last time Dee saw his father, his wife Carol lay dead at Zeus’ feet. He vowed never to return, but someone has to rescue Riona from his crazy Greek God family. At least this time the visit should be brief: he just has to sponsor Jerry, find the keystone, and get the hell out of Olympus. Crossing paths with feisty quartergod Anwen Yates proves how the best laid plans sometimes don't mean jack. Seems Anwen has a couple of demons on her tail, and Olympus with its demon-free climate would be the perfect place for her to hide out. The fact that Dee finds her frustrating, funny, and sexy as hell has nothing at all to do with his decision to bring her along. Nope.
Biding her time with Hades and Persephone, Riona feels like a third wheel to the ancient, troubled marriage. The cherry on the cake? Uninvited angels are subject to death in Olympus, and suddenly her magic has a life of its own! Needing to get her heavenly hexing under control before her hybrid heritage is exposed, Hades helps her find an angelic mentor. And wouldn’t you know it that Azazel brings his newly-minted demon Marc Angeletti along for Riona’s target-practicing pleasure. Or maybe just her pleasure in general…


As the days tick by, the lines of right and wrong, purpose and persuasion, and sin and sanctity begin to blur. Rumors are flying, the Heaven-Hell Accords stretch thinner than a sheet of filo dough, and Zeus grows more cryptic by the day. Riona's angelic instincts throw her libido haywire, Hades makes a Hail Mary pass to save his marriage, and Jerry fears that his may be over before it’s even begun. Meanwhile, the two pillars draw closer to Olympus, and Dee closer to facing his father, his family, and his past. But can he honor his wife’s memory, while evermore wanting to do right by Arwen? The road to Hell is paved with God intentions.

Excerpt

Neither one of them remembered who suggested cracking open the first bottle of wine. They downed their second glass when Dee came in to check on them. He retreated with a glass of his own, plus one for his sister.
“You know the saying ‘my goose is cooked’?” Riona asked as she poured out a third cup for she and Jerry. “I’ve never actually seen cooked goose. Don’t you think they should say ‘my turkey is cooked’? I mean, everyone’s seen a cooked turkey.”
Jerry laughed. “Goose isn’t as common as it used to be, but believe me, it had its time and place. Most people didn’t know what a turkey was and how delicious they could be until America was discovered. And then once Big Macs hit …” He winked.
Riona tilted her head and stared at him in him. “Wow, back when we were … you know, together, I didn’t know what you were. I couldn’t realize how long you’ve been around. But it’s been a really, really long time, hasn’t it?”
“I guess.” He tapped his palette with his tongue as he savored the tannins. “Older than certain parts of the Bible, and all that.”
“All the things you must have seen.”
Jerry shrugged. “Not as much as you’d think. Yeah, I always knew what was going on in general up top, but unless I was on a mission, I wasn’t too involved. Being eternal by becoming a demon isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.”
“And what was that like?” Jerry’s blank stare forced her to clarify. “Becoming a demon.”
“It was …” His eyes turned up to the ceiling, as though a selection of words he might use were written on it. “… awesome.”
“Jerry!” She made a half-sincere attempt to admonish him, grabbing a potholder and hurling it at his head.
“What? You asked.” He caught the red-and-gold monstrosity out of the air and threw it back at her. He didn’t miss the threat of a smile on her face. “You remember your awakening, right?”
Riona’s blush was all the answer he needed. Even with his sexual prowess built up over centuries of practice and bolstered by a superhuman endowment, he knew anything he’d done to her between the sheets couldn’t compare to that rush. Big Boss would always hold the title for handing out the biggest thrill.
“Well, think about that, but instead of fueled by light, it’s fueled by sin. One of the reasons humans fall for sin so easily is because in the moment, it feels so fucking good. You wake up after Lucifer’s repurposed your soul feeling like you could do anything, be anything, go anywhere. The rush of a demon awakening makes the Pure Soul experience look like foreplay. Really bad foreplay. With someone who is partially paralyzed. And wearing oven mitts.”
“You make it sound like something to look forward to.”

He caught her eyes just in time to see her lips pull tight. “Is this curiosity or research?”



Killian McRae Bio:
Killian McRae would tell you that she is a rather boring lass, an authoress whose characters’ lives are so much more exciting than her own. She would be right. Sadly, this sarcastic lexophile leads a rather mundane existence in the San Francisco Bay Area. She once dreamed of being the female Indiana Jones, and to that end she earned a degree in Middle Eastern History from the University of Michigan. However, when she learned that real archaeologist spend more time lovingly removing dust with toothbrushes from shards of pottery than outrunning intriguing villains with exotic accents, she decided to become a writer instead. She writes across many genres, including science fiction, fantasy, romance, and historical fiction.

Writing process

Everyone has a different writing process, and some try out a few to see what works for them. Mine is completely sporadic and probably doesn’t make sense to anyone. I don’t outline, or even think about how many words I want my novel to be. I brainstorm with my beta on everything from names, ages, and looks, to the plot. Yvette, said beta and best friend, is a master and pointing out the holes and potential conflicts. After a few hours of brainstorming, which is done entirely on email, I set out the first two or three chapters and get to work.

I write mostly at night, from 9-11, and because of my kids’ schedules with sports I carry my laptop everywhere, especially to games or practices. I’ve been known to pound out a few thousand words with ten basketballs dribbling behind me. I don’t always need noise as it can be distracting, but the silence is never fun either. The one thing I can’t have on when I’m writing is the television. It distracts me. I stopped watching TV when I wrote FOREVER MY GIRL so I could focus on the story, so now when the TV is on, I find myself wanting to watch it. And since we have Netflix I’m finding more and more reasons to watch TV and not right.

If I can get away with it, I’ll write during the day. It’s definitely my preferred time, but not always feasible with my job. Lately, I’ve been saving the weekends for family time, but that’s all about to change and I’ll go back to spending full-days writing.

Something that I find odd is that I have a beautiful office with two skylights and six floor to ceiling windows, yet I prefer to write in the kitchen sitting in an uncomfortable chair at the island. I do think this drives my husband nuts, especially when I have to charge my laptop.


Everyone has to find a process that works for him or her. Mine seems a bit unconventional, but it’s functioning. I do look forward to the days when I’m writing during the day and not whacking my head against the computer from falling asleep ßthat is a process that I don’t recommend.

 An arm slipped around my chest. I looked over at the naked girl beside me and smiled. “You okay?” she asked as her fingertips lightly glided along my skin, her nails painted dark red. “Yeah,” I told her. “Just can’t sleep.” She smiled back as she snuggled up closer to me. I stared at her face. She had light blue eyes that wrinkled at the corners when she spoke. Her teeth were a little crooked, but I decided she was an okay looking girl, a little ragged, but not bad. She hadn’t talked that much. She closed her eyes as I continued to stare at her. “Hey,” I said, nudging her awake again. “What’d you say your name was again?” She smiled and sat up on her elbows, pulling the sheet up over her exposed chest. “Steph.” That’s right. Steph. I remembered now. “You said you liked it,” she reminded me, “you know, my name?” She grinned revealing those teeth again, which were a little frightening. Maybe I was wrong. The teeth completely changed my opinion about her being okay looking. I didn’t want to see that smile again. I turned my back to her and sat on the edge of the bed. I raked my fingers through my hair and put on some shorts. I thumbed through a few bills from the stack of cash Carmine had given me. “Yeah, sure. Steph suits you just fine.” I turned and handed her some money. “You’d better get going.” She pressed her lips together and frowned as she examined the money in her hand. “Stan, what the hell is this?” Stan? Then I remembered why she was calling me that. “What do you mean what’s it for? It’s for last night.” “I’m not a fuckin’ hooker you asshole!” she bellowed out. “You’re not?” “No!” Holy shit. I could’ve sworn she was a prostitute. I wanted to ask her if she was sure, but I figured that probably wouldn’t go over too well. “Oh, well, sorry then. You can keep the money just the same.” She glared at me with these huge eyes as if she didn’t know whether she was going to keep the money or punch me in the face. I deserved the punch in the face either way. She angrily got dressed and headed to the door as she slipped her heels on. “I have never been so insulted in my whole life.” I shrugged. I just wanted her to go. “Well, there’s a first time for everything.” “Don’t ever look me up again if you’re back in Haven,” Steph warned me. I turned my head away from her. “You don’t have to worry about that.” I could feel her eyes on me even though I wasn’t looking at her. “You fuckin’ prick,” she huffed out as she opened the door to the room and slammed it shut behind her. “Yes, I am,” I replied to the empty room as I stood up and locked it. I turned back around and headed toward the bathroom. I really needed a shower.
