2. The Sword and the Spellcaster

   About The Sword and the Spellcaster:

   In a land wracked with civil war, a warrior and an immortal healer race to save the life of the crown prince, while eluding magical assassins bent on stopping them.

   The Spellcaster:

   Marius is a master healer with a murky past. Hunted for centuries by a powerful mage set on revenge, his life is lived in the shadows, a constant eye cast over his shoulder. Impending death isn’t his only concern; it’s difficult to find patients when rumors abound that you take lives, rather than save them. After all he’s immortal, and stays that way by absorbing the energy of living things.

   The Sword:

   Aenor is a warrior on a mission to rise from the disgrace of past mistakes and prove herself worthy of the queen’s elite guard. When she’s sent to find and retrieve Marius, she is wary of the Maester, as handsome as he is dangerous. Logic dictates that he couldn’t have survived such a brutal existence for 400 years, without committing some major sins along the way.

   Bound together by need, all Marius and Aenor want is to live long enough to save the prince and return to their separate lives. That is until powerful assassins, a growing attraction and fate get in their way…

   About MINE FOR TONIGHT: Book One – The Billionaire’s Obsession by J.S.Scott:

   Down on her luck, nursing student and full-time waitress Kara Foster gets a massive blow to her already desperate financial situation that will surely find her living on the streets. Needing nothing less than a miracle to save her, Kara gets rescue from an unknown, unlikely and overwhelming source. Billionaire Simon Hudson makes her an offer that is impossible to refuse, but terrifying to accept from a man that she’s never met. Will the handsome, alpha billionaire really be a solution to her problems, or will he end up being a major complication and a danger to her emotional sanity?

   Reclusive billionaire Simon Hudson would rather be behind a computer creating computer games than rubbing elbows with the elite and he knows exactly what he wants…until he meets Kara Foster. Something about Kara touches Simon in ways he’s never experienced and definitely doesn’t like. For over a year, Simon watches over Kara, but stubbornly refuses to admit his desire to possess her, not even to himself. But when she ends up in a situation that could very well be her destruction, Simon steps up to help her, not realizing that in saving Kara, he might very well be salvaging his own soul.

8. Chase the Dark

   About Chase the Dark:

   Piper Griffiths wants one thing in life: To become a Consul, a keeper of the peace between humans and daemons. There are precisely three obstacles in her way.

   The first is Lyre. Incubus. Hotter than hell and with a wicked streak to match. His greatest mission in life is to get Piper into bed and otherwise annoy the crap out of her. The second is Ash. Draconian. Powerful. Dangerous. He knows too much and reveals nothing. Also, disturbingly attractive — and scary. Did she mention scary?

   The third is the Sahar Stone. Top secret magical weapon of mass destruction. Previously hidden in her Consulate until thieves broke in, went on a murder spree, and disappeared with the weapon.

   And they left Piper to take the fall for their crimes.

   Now she’s on the run, her dreams of becoming a Consul shattered and every daemon in the city gunning to kill her. She’s dead on her own, but there’s no one she can trust — no one except two entirely untrustworthy daemons… See problems one and two.

   Author Bio:
   I wrote my first piece of fiction outside a classroom when I was fourteen. Nowadays I shudder to think of it and can’t actually stand to read it as an adult, but it got me started on a crazy road of 3 AM writing sprees, a reputation for daydreaming (how else am I supposed to plot my next scene?), and over one million words written in the last 12 years.

   This year I am publishing my début novel, Chase the Dark, Book 1 of the Steel & Stone series. I plan to publish prolifically and with dedicated enthusiasm, and I hope my readers will share that enthusiasm.

   I live in Western Canada with my fiance. Someday I would like to get a cat. Maybe two.
