Rubenesque Rapture (Book 1, The Endurers)
Blurb:
Once upon a
time, the world was just a black void. Then one day man came, but he wasn’t
alone. He was followed by an ancient evil, a scourge determined to steal his
soul. Centuries passed. Humanity did all it could to protect itself against the
evil ones, but they weren’t equipped to fight this battle. Instead, all they
could do was pray that Hell didn’t set its eyes upon them.
It got to be
too much. Something had to be done.
Born out of
desperate need, warriors were chosen. Immortality was granted to those strong
enough to fight the battle that would never end. No longer mortal, these men
have stood in the path of dark and horrifying evil, bearing the load when there
was nobody else that could.
It’s all coming
to an end. Time has ran out for humanity…
Hell is hot to get their hands on Anna Andrews, determined
to use her plus-sized body for breeding purposes. Attacked by demons in her
remote cabin in Alaska, she is sure there is no way out until a mysterious
Endurer rescues her at the last moment. He’s been sent to get her to safety in
Las Vegas, but he never counted on the sexual attraction that flares
immediately between them.
Shayne McLoughlin was born in the 1400’s and lived as a
Monk until a brutal attack destroyed his entire family, changing his life
forever. Now an immortal Endurer that protects humanity from demonic beings, he
expects his next assignment to be like any other. Until he meets the rubenesque
beauty he has been sent to protect.
On the race to reach the safety of Las Vegas, they
discover an explosive attraction that can’t be ignored. He can battle the
demons that want her, but can he have victory over the power of her mind?
Plagued by her past and an ex-boyfriend that used her in an attempt to satisfy
his debt to Hell, Anna finds it hard to believe this gorgeous man is serious
about her.
As the very world stands on the cusp of Armageddon, Shayne
is determined to have this full-figured beauty at any cost. There isn’t any
rule he won’t break to claim Anna and keep her. Danger follows their every step
as passion ignites at every turn. Is it a battle this Endurer can win?
Two taller, grotesque creatures
started towards them, their red eyes gleaming unnaturally in the twilight of
the evening.
Shayne was ready for them, an ornately
carved dagger in each hand. “You girls looking to play?” he asked, his velvety,
deep voice cutting through the night. “I know I am. Look, I’m even wearing my
play clothes.” He was dressed completely in black.
The two glanced at each other before
charging him as one. Shayne met them in a running leap just seconds before the
two screamed in pain. The daggers moved quickly and immediately one of the
demons fell, smoke rising from its body.
He glanced over to the last one
standing and shook his head in disgust. His knife had carved deeply into the
side of his face, leaving the flesh gaping open. Copious amounts of black fluid
poured out, and he was missing an ear.
“Damn,” he said as his lip curled up in
a sneer. “You guys just get uglier and uglier, don’t you? It looks like your
face caught on fire and someone tried to put it out with a fork.”
He could see three more hellions
spread out in the parking lot, but they paused at his words. They knew he was
an Endurer, with the full backing of Heaven behind him. The evil inside of them
naturally recoiled from the purity contained within his daggers and sword. It
didn’t stop the demon in front of him though. “What a great idea,” he growled
at Shayne. “I’ll have fun trying it out on you in Hell.”
Shayne beckoned with his hand as he
said mockingly, “You, I’m going to kill just to put you out of your misery.”
All pretense at humanity faded. The
white skin darkened to a disgusting shade of dark green and thick horns erupted
from its skull. This was the true form of the minion, and it wasn’t pretty.
Shayne glanced around the parking lot
quickly but didn’t expect to see any witnesses. The remote location was one of
the reasons he had chose this motel. It was small and generally stayed vacant,
and he wouldn’t have to worry about human casualties.
He looked back at the demon,
determined to goad him into an attack. It would just be one less evil to deal
with in the future. “Well?” he asked, beckoning again with his hand. “You going
to stand there all day looking ugly? Let’s get this over with. I’ve got more
important things to do like wash my hair.”
“You’ll never win,” the enraged demon
said, his voice harsh and distorted. “There are millions of us, and just one of
you.” Giant black wings erupted from its back as it prepared to take flight.
“The master is coming home to take his throne, and there is nothing you can do
to stop it.”
Two red eyes settled upon Anna as it
rose up in the air. She recoiled back against the wall, panting in fear. His
eyes were ancient, deadly, and full of pure evil as he said, “We’ll be meeting
again.” With a sinister laugh he leaped into the sky and flew away, the other
demons quickly following.
Shayne stood eerily still for a
moment, breathing deep. His hands clenched and unclenched as he fought to get
control of himself. After a moment, he bent over and collected his weapons.

Death. Pain. Tragedy….
For Endurer Vincent Chavalerio, immortality has brought
nothing but torment and misery. Cursed to forever watch his soul mate die, one
night it becomes too much. In a moment of devastation, Vincent makes a decision
that will alter his life forever.
Plus-sized Scarlett Hamilton is desperate to learn how to
live again after the death of her fiance, Niles. She’s sent to list a historic
mansion in New Orleans, but she ends up buying it for herself. Little does she
know, there is already someone living within the walls and a gateway to Hell in
the backyard.
Scarlett believes she is haunted by a gorgeous ghost, but
his reaction to her body comes from a red-blooded male. After being asleep for
two hundred years, he’s desperate to seduce her. Scarlett soon discovers an
erotic passion in the immortal’s arms, but he’s still determined to let her go.
Will he move past his grief and indifference enough to recognize what’s waiting
right in front of him?
The demon that cursed him won’t release Vincent, even if
it means the destruction of New Orleans. One night, a devastating tragedy
occurs. Hell fulfills an accepted bargain, condemning the city in the process.
Time has ran out. Vincent has to see the truth, or he will lose Scarlett, and
his own destiny, forever.
“Veronique? They have names?”
“Yes, but don’t ever use their names. Ever. When a human
uses their name, it makes them more powerful. It’s almost like worship to them,
and worship gives them strength. An Endurer has protection against this, but
you don’t. Never speak it, even if you know it.”
“Okay,” she replied. “You won’t have to tell me twice. How
do you know her name?”
It was a question he had no intention of answering, at least
not now. He wanted to bed her, badly. The last thing he needed to mention was
women had died because of him. Somehow, he didn’t think that would help his
cause. “It doesn’t matter. What does matter is freeing you from the curse.”
She remembered her parents and gasped, eyes widening with
horror. “My mom and dad are coming for an overnight visit Saturday. What am I
going to do?”
“Try to cancel. If you can’t, we’ll work around it. Who
knows? Maybe we will have the curse broke by then.” He doubted it, but kept his
doubts to himself. Where was Arch when you really needed him?
“I’m going to call a priest in to bless the house. Maybe
he can shed some light on the situation,” Vincent continued gruffly. He was
going to keep a better eye on her from here on out, no more midnight raids on
her refrigerator unless she was with him.
His stomach rumbled at the thought of her cooking. The
woman could cook like nobody’s business, and the leftovers were heavenly. His
metabolism was extremely high due to the constant renewing of his body, and it
gave him an extraordinarily high appetite.
The sound drew her attention, and she stared at him, as he
blushed in embarrassment. “Nice to know you really are human,” she said with a
small smile. “At least now I know what’s been happening to my leftovers.”
“Sorry,” he replied sheepishly. “They were delicious.”
She felt strangely pleased that he liked her cooking. It
was flattering. She was sure in his lifetime he’d had all types of food, but he
enjoyed hers. “Well then, I guess I’ll be going to the store more often,” she
said smiling, feeling the blush spreading across her cheeks.
Her arms began to ache, and she looked down to see what
was wrong. In the light, she could see the dark purple bruises marring the
paleness of her skin. They seemed to worsen by the minute.
He saw them too and growled. Moving quickly, he knelt in
the floor in front of her, noting each and every purple spot. “The demon hurt
you,” he said softly, but she could hear the anger in his tone. “For that, he
will painfully die.”
Suddenly his mood changed. Slowly, he raised his head, his
heated eyes meeting her dazed ones. He held her gaze for a moment before
leaning forward and kissing each bruise.
He took his slow, sweet time, his firm lips highly erotic
against her skin. She groaned softly at the tantalizing sweep of his tongue
against each one. Her nipples beaded underneath the thin material of her
nightgown in reaction.
His eyes glittered when he saw the visible response of her
body to his mouth. The very air was charged with an erotic energy that singed
both of them with its intensity. Her body grew hot with a burning need that
demanded to be fulfilled.
He could sense it with his supernatural senses. He gave
her a smile full of sexual promise. “I want to make love with you, Scarlett.
Will you allow me?”
Delicate Devastation (Book 3, The Endurers)
Blurb:
Peter Rynalt is an immortal Endurer that has dedicated his
life to protecting humanity…. And enjoying only the most beautiful women. Born
in 1103 in the Welsh countryside, his mortal life as Priest ended when Hell
decided to crucify him. Known as the priest by some and the playboy by others,
he leads an action-packed, dangerous life fighting demons and taking his
pleasures where he likes. Until the night Kim runs into his arms, terrified and
desperate for help after a demon attacks her.
Kim Jones is known and respected as a fun-loving, New
Orleans beauty. Men want her, and women want to be her. It wasn’t always that
way, though. She is haunted by her past and terrified her beauty won’t last
forever. One night, fate presents her with a one-time opportunity to have the
sexy Endurer that she desires. They discover an insatiable hunger that can’t be
satisfied, but is it enough to satisfy a playboy?
Amidst the desperate and devastated streets of New
Orleans, the major players continue to make their moves in a game of destiny
that will affect the future of the entire world. Each day brings them one step
closer to Armageddon…. And Hell keeps upping the ante. When citizens start
disappearing, The Endurers work hard to find the group of demons responsible
before they die.
It all comes to shattering climax when one of their own
experiences a horrendous act that devastates his life and leaves him in shame.
Evil knows no bounds and is determined to walk away the winner. Can Peter
capture his queen in time?
Her body was mouthwateringly gorgeous, but painfully thin.
He walked closer to her, his eyes quickly scanning each injury. She was covered
in scratches, cuts, welts, and bruises. They were fully setting in, and he knew
they would look much worse before ever looking better. He growled when he saw
the fingertip bruises on her throat.
“He choked you?” He enunciated each word, anger making his
tone thick and dangerous, even to his own ears. He wasn’t sure why he felt so
overwhelmingly protective over her, but something about her made him extremely
possessive. It was a foreign emotion, and one he wasn’t quite sure how to
handle.
Her slender hand moved up to her throat gently, her
painted red nails erotic against the pale skin. “He must have. It all happened
so fast. All I know is that I fought hard to get away from him.” Her hazel eyes
shut briefly as she inhaled, struggling for control.
She was so damned delicate he couldn’t believe she had
walked away from her encounter. Her fragile state reminded him of her
mortality, and it angered him. He shoved a hand through his hair in
frustration.
“Why in the hell are you so damn thin? Are you sick, or
have you been dieting?” He spat the last word out at her, as she pulled the
towel free from her hair to comb through the silky strands.
He suspected it was the latter, and he couldn’t understand
why women were so obsessed with it. She was so damned beautiful, exuding a raw
sexuality that was making the caveman in him roar to life. Desperately he
fought the sensual weave she was unconsciously weaving, but it was a battle he
was losing fast.
“You look like death, and you’re way too slender. You’re
lucky to still be alive.”
She narrowed her eyes at him, as a look of irritation and
something unidentifiable flickered across her face. Her arms crossed across her
chest before she briefly looked away, her cheeks pink. When she turned back to
him, she was completely in control.
“Get laid much, Peter? If that’s your approach, I’m surprised
you aren’t a virgin. My weight isn’t any of your business, so butt out.
Besides, men love my body.”
He growled, enraged at the thought of another man seeing
her. She’d just waved a red flag in front of this bull, and it was a challenge
he wouldn’t back down from. When he spoke, his voice was deathly quiet and cold
as ice. “Really? Let a lot of them see it, huh?”
She flushed, but didn’t back down. “What’s it to you, one
way or another?”
“Nothing,” he responded, his face serious and his voice
harsh with lust. “It was nothing to me before tonight. That was before you
walked into my bedroom naked, your body begging for this hard shaft between my
legs. While you’re in here, you won’t be talking or even thinking about other
men. You’ll be too busy thinking about me, feeling me, as I bring that sweet
area between your legs pleasure like it has never known before… Or will again.

The most
explosive book in this series…
Once upon a
time, the world was just a black void. Then one day man came, but he wasn’t
alone. He was followed by an ancient evil, a scourge determined to steal his
soul. Centuries passed. Humanity did all it could to protect itself against the
evil ones, but they weren’t equipped to fight this battle. Instead, all they
could do was pray that Hell didn’t set its eyes upon them.
It got to be
too much. Something had to be done.
Born out of
desperate need, warriors were chosen. Immortality was granted to those strong
enough to fight the battle that would never end. No longer mortal, these men
have stood in the path of dark and horrifying evil, bearing the load when there
was nobody else that could.
It’s all
coming to an end. Time has ran out for humanity…
No good deed
goes unpunished…
Ian Bauer was the Endurer that had it all. With great
looks and plenty of money, he had never regretted his immortality… But fate had
other plans for him.
Reeling from a tragic event, he’s forced back into the
fight between good and evil when demons set their sights on an mortal angel. He
has to keep her alive for four weeks, something easier said than done.
Ian never counted on the wicked attraction that flares up
between them.
After filling the tank, he checked on Sara one more time.
She was still unconscious, her fever raging within her weakened body. Leaving
the engine running to keep her comfortable, he stalked into the truck stop. It
was nearly empty, except for the pimply-faced male teenager behind the counter.
Ian’s eyes settled on him, his expression grim. He
bypassed everything, coming to a stop in front of the nervous young male. “I
want all of your medicines to relieve fever, including liquids and capsules.
Plus, I want a thermometer, the best one you have, and make sure it’s not
rectal.” He narrowed his eyes at the wide-eyed clerk in front of him. “I don’t
do rectal, and I won’t use anything that involves an ass.”
The clerk looked nervous. “Um, that’s good to know.”
Ian looked around, checking out the inventory. “I want two
cartons of every kind of pop you have, and five cases of bottled water.” He
grabbed his expensive leather wallet out of his back pocket, carefully counting
out five, one-hundred dollar bills. Dropping them on the counter, he growled
out, “Load up my order, and you get to keep the change.”
The clerk grinned happily, grabbing the money. “Shit,
yeah. Anything you say.” He rang everything up while Ian waited. “Which ride is
yours?”
Ian shot him a droll look, before replying, “The only one
out there.”
“Okay,” he agreed cheerfully, pocketing his portion. “Pull
your vehicle to the door. I’ll get you all fixed up.”

Hi Len,
DeleteThanks for stopping to enter. If you love sexy, tough, alpha guys, you'll really enjoy this series. These guys are immortals, and they've picked up quite a few bedroom tricks over the years, if you know what I mean *Winking*. I'm not quite sure that any place is off-limits to these men! Arch and Shayne live in Las Vegas, but they keep finding themselves in New Orleans. And I have to admit, that I love this place!
Have you guys checked out the playlists? I listen to all sorts of music - Rock, Country, and even some Classical. Okay, so I'll admit on the classical music it's usually something that caught my notice from a movie, but I do still listen to some of it, lol. I loved the classical clips from the Twilight movies, Carter Burwell is an outstanding composer!
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, I thought I'd share the Youtube playlists I have so far for this series. Yes, I'm on Youtube, too, I'm addicted! My channel is:
