A New Opportunity with Siren Press

6/30/2018

Most of you have heard by now that I have joined forces with Siren Press, an imprint of
Black Spot Books. I am overjoyed to be a part of this amazing team of women. But what does that mean for 2 Girls & A Book? Nothing. Things haven't changed here. Crystal and I will still promote and review for authors like we always have. This is my passion. I started 2 Girls with the intent to fan girl over my favorite authors. From that tiny spark a fire ignited that has led me to meet some amazingly talented people. I have learned so much and I am looking forward to putting that knowledge into expanding the blog and Siren Press. 2018 has been such a blessing. I cannot wait to see what else comes out way! ~ Lynn

Warning: Part One (December 31, 2017)

Genre: Suspense

Part One ~
Jillian Hart didn’t belong in our world. She was an innocent, blinded to our ways and seduced by the charm of the mafia. I was a capo in the Marchetti Family, groomed to take control one day, and my father was the Boss, the Don. Damon Marchetti was a well-known name in the mafiosi.

We never would’ve crossed paths if not for a fender bender with the wrong truck on the expressway. After escorting her to the emergency room as a precaution, I discovered she had business ties to a rival family. Simply being seen with me put her in jeopardy, so I kept her close for her own safety.

But one thing led to another, and she became more than my charge. I gave her one warning about my life. One chance to decide to stay or leave. She chose to stay.

Until all hell broke loose.
Then I pushed too hard, and my ever-present alter ego took control.

If she thought I gave up easily when the chips were down, she had another warning coming.

Part Two ~
Jillian didn’t heed my warning . . . but then, neither did I. She didn’t know her life was still in danger or that her every move was being watched.

Convincing her that she needed my protection required all my resources. Even then, she didn’t want me around.

Making her fall in love with me again would be nearly impossible.

But I’m Damon Marchetti, and I don’t know how or when to quit.

Part Three ~
Just when I thought I had everything figured out, life blew up in my face without warning. The missing pieces of the puzzle weren’t clear, and the stakes were too high to merely hope for the best.

Absolute facts I’d believed my entire life turned out to be lies and the truth was harder to accept than the family ever realized. Protecting my loved ones was my only priority. Any threat had to be eliminated—no matter the consequences.

How deep did the treachery go? Only one way to find out.

Jillian's simple life takes a turn when she gets side swiped by a dump truck. Who would have thought she would meet her match. But there are so many secrets, can they make it through them? I guess you will have to read it to find out! Or maybe we will have to wait to find out.

Blurb: Once upon a time, a beautiful queen was cursed by a dark faery. That curse, inherited by twin princesses, Aura and Luna, binds their lives in the strangest of ways. At an early age, the girls were more than sisters. They were the strongest of allies until a combination of jealousy, anger and dark magic tore their relationship to shreds.

Aura took everything from Luna: her home, her family, and her love by murdering the prince whoâ€™d chosen her instead of Aura.

Luna wants revenge, but sheâ€™s running out of time. She must sever the magical bond tying her life to Auraâ€™s before their eighteenth birthday or be bound to her forever. In desperation, she seeks help from a dark fae prince, but the price is steep â€“ a piece of her soul.

Fate is a real witch. Luna was willing to give up anything to stop her sister, until Prince Phillip of Grithim, the brother of the only man sheâ€™s ever loved, falls into her life. Neither of them can fight their attraction, despite their guilt.

With Aura hell-bent on destroying everything she holds dear, Luna must decide whether she wants revenge or Phillip. She canâ€™t have both, and in the end, this may be a battle both sisters lose.

**Savage Beauty is a fairy tale retelling of Sleeping Beauty... with fae witches. :)

Cover Designer: Cover Me Darling

Editor: John Cameron McClain

Hosted by: Lady Amberâ€™s PR

Blurb:

After tragedy strikes 17-year-old Jo Mossâ€™s life, she becomes plagued by panic attacks and anxiety. Not even sleep is safe for her. She thought losing her boyfriend in a freak accident at The Lights, a local overlook hangout where mysterious lights dance among the trees, was the worst thing she would have to endure. She never expected to become the one everyone blamed for his death.

Plagued by more nightmares of the lights, Jo is starting to think there is more to their mysterious appearance than meets the eye. Lucky for her, she discovers sheâ€™s not the only curious one in town. Cooper, the new guy in town, and his sister Jada have been seen asking strange questions around town. They also hold a secret that could help Jo figure out whatâ€™s truly going on in her small town.

The more they uncover about her town, itâ€™s history, and some of its current residents, people whom Jo has known her whole life, the more she begins to think there are those who would rather keep the evil lurking around their town a secret, even if it means more will die.

Whenever sheâ€™s not reading or writing, Brandy is spending time with her family and friends, throwing around crazy ideas, teaching, and singing like a rock star at a concert for no one else but herself. She loves plants, but unfortunately is a killer of anything that requires water but canâ€™t voice (scream) their needs.

KNOWING YOU_TEASER2.5.jpg

Meet Rebecca: Optimism seeps from every pore of my body. I truly believe that what's supposed to happen... will! In that regard, I don't know how to give up; it's not part of my biological make up.

I'm a passionate (and some would say, overly enthusiastic) person. I learn by doing (and have been burned more times that I'd like to admit), but I will always throw my entire self into whatever I do - fail or succeed.

I think this is evident when I write, leaving nothing behind and spilling it all out on the pages. I give it all to my readers - love it or hate it.

The path I'm on is very often my own, veering off the beaten path at the sight of something more interesting or captivating, getting caught in the vines and thorns in order to experience the beauty and intrigue others often pass by. And I always meet the most interesting people along the way...

I’m in love with a man who tried to kill me. At least that’s what they tell me . . .Six weeks ago, paramedics found me unconscious in my apartment. Beaten. Bruised. Hardly breathing.
