I walk towards the light streaming through the trees. I swear
when I reach up to put my hand in the golden beam of bright
yellow and orange. I could feel the warmth. I almost wanted to
bathe in it. I wept like a baby. I dropped to my knees and just
wanted to thank the alien mother for such a remarkable gift.
My joy would be short-lived. As I turn to call Alex and Iva to
enjoy this monumental event with me. My beloved was being held
high in the air by Darius.
“Not Alex you piece of shit!” I yell at him.
He was holding her by her throat in the air. I know his
strength and even now in a semi-weak state, he could kill her in an
instant. Jackie raced towards him but was met with his free hand.
He tosses her across the cemetery. She lands thankfully on the soft
ground. Two inches away from a five-foot-wide marble
tombstone, that would have split her open in two.
The member’s fangs come out and I dash over to him. The
device that was placed on his thigh was now lying on the ground
broken. The black poison inside spilled on the ground. I was two
feet away.
“Darius, if you ever loved me, put her down now! I beg you.”
“Come back to me Midnight. I love you. We can start anew. I
will let her go if you would only return to me. Be by my side.”
I was sick inside, but my Alex was so precious to me. The
alien mother just stood by and watched this whole thing happen. I
knew she had the power to kill Darius! What was stopping her
from attacking him? I start to walk closer. He cautions me to be
careful and to make my decision quickly. I look at Adamina who
looks back at me. She was trying to talk to me telepathically, but
she was blocked! I turned my attention back to Darius. Iva was
growing impatient. I could feel her anger.
“Don’t Iva. He’s too strong!”
She says, “Bullshit!”
She started for him. I race over towards them both. He pulls
Alex towards him and starts to rip her throat apart.
I screamed. “No! Please!”
By the time all the members got to him….

 “We can solidify our plans tomorrow,” he whispers, brushing a stray strand of hair behind my ear. The warmth of his touch spreads throughout my body, igniting a fire inside me.

Our lips meet in a slow and tender kiss, but it quickly builds into something more passionate. I grip his hair while he gently angles his head for a deeper connection. Our bodies press together, our hearts beating in perfect synchronization.

“Claudia,” Alex groans in protest as I push him to the edge.

I know what a respectable girl should not do, but after everything we’ve been through and traveling hundreds of years into the past, I’m pretty sure that rules no longer apply.


BLURB:

Outlander meets What the Wind Knows with a dash of The Tudors

Claudia, Alex, and Marie embark on a perilous journey back through the swirling mists of time, their hopes pinned on averting a looming tragedy. As they navigate the tangled web of history, vivid memories of Alex and Claudia’s enduring love flicker across the timelines, a testament to their unyielding bond. Their destination is the tumultuous Ireland of 1649, a land poised precariously on the brink of siege. It is a treacherous era to traverse, where danger lurks at every corner.

In their quest, they immerse themselves within the ancient covens, becoming an integral part of the tightly knit community of Drogheda. The air is thick with tension, the kind that crackles and hums, as they wrestle with the monumental task before them. Caught in the crossfire of history, they face the daunting challenge of halting the impending slaughter of the town while grappling with the complex emotions tied to saving the beloved of their sworn nemesis.

As the stakes grow ever higher, the question looms large: will the timeless love between Alex and Claudia endure the trials they face, or are there formidable forces at work beyond their control, threatening to unravel the very fabric of their shared destiny?

*Contains mature themes, open door sex scenes, and mature language.

Such a fun, quick, whimsical historical read. If you are a fan of outlander or the tudors this is a perfect combination of both! – ARC reviewer

They wrapped their arms around one another as their bodies communicated their need; Claudia was flushed with desire. Alex knew it was flirting with disaster, being alone in her room like this, doing what they were doing. Allowing this passion to continue unbridled would be absolute chaos, and yet he couldn’t deny the deeply intoxicating pull Claudia had on him.

“Don’t leave,” Claudia whispered quietly, as if reading his mind.

“Never,” Alex replied without hesitation.


BLURB:

Cable Girls meets Peaky Blinders meets Titanic

The girls had forged a bond together like iron that could not be broken. Claudia, Kiersten, Lina, and Florian were on the brink of making history with their powerful feminist movement, but then they suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Alexander was a desperate bootlegger who was willing to risk it all to search for them. Not only were they in cahoots with him to help smuggle feminist contraband and forbidden booze, but Claudia had also unknowingly captivated his heart. He vowed to find them at any cost, but little did he know that their disappearance was part of a much bigger and sinister plot from the upper echelons of society.

Set in 1920s Paris of the Plains, Armored Hours is a thrilling tale of love and mystery interwoven with hints of magical realism.


"I adore Armored Hours so much as it delivered the action packed narration that came with a strong sense of urgency and the undercut of deep emotions. It is set in a world where survival demands resilience, the journey isn't just the physical but also the mental. The main characters must wrestle with their own personal demons as well as facing external threats. I adore how the chapters build on from the previous chapters as well as pulling you deeper into the conflict. Stephanie did a brilliant job of balancing out the action with a lot more quieter moments of introspection that just add layers to the characters. This book will keep you on the edge with twists as well as it will grips you into the story." ~Aussie

Surrounded by open fields, broken only by the occasional knoll, a group of six people stood at the ready for their hunt. A gentle spring wind whipped through their hair. Some kept their eyes trained on the tree line in the distance, while others maintained a careful watch over the skies above. Each carried a hunting bow in hand with a quiver full of arrows strapped to their backs. Simple iron short swords clung to their hips. Of the six, two of the people were shorter than the rest, appearing to be only twelve or thirteen at most. Simple leather armor covered their forearms, chests, legs, and feet.

One of the two children was a girl with blonde hair and brown eyes, while the other was a boy with hazel eyes and silver hair. Both of them exuded a nervous yet excited energy that was only barely contained, thanks to the occasional, stern glance of one adult with them, who had similar silver hair to the boy.

“Keep your eyes on both the sky and the forest canopy. The beasts move quick and if you aren’t careful, you could end up with a few broken bones, or worse. Got it, Arkrune? Tara?” the silver-haired man barked.

“Yessir, Vickar, sir!” Tara giggled while giving a mock salute.

The only response the man had for her was to sigh before he glanced back at the trees. Arkrune stifled a small laugh, when the sound of screeching drew his attention to the treetops. Several brown blurs launched into the air in a loose, V-shaped formation. The objects initially soared straight into the sky above the trees but were clearly moving toward the hunting party.

Vickar brought two fingers to his mouth and let out a loud whistle. In an instant, the group scattered, breaking into pairs. Arkrune and Tara paired together, diving to the right of the formation while Vickar took the center. Arkrune clipped his bow to his back before drawing his sword. Today’s hunt had him acting the part of the distraction, while Tara was to pick the birds off.

Bash Eagles were not strong beasts, but their aerial maneuverability made it difficult for all but the best marksmen to target them in flight. The best way to hit them was to catch them by surprise in their nests or by baiting them into initiating their diving attack. As their name suggested, they dove at their enemies with their hardened skulls. Once the diving attack started, they lost all of their previous agility for a devastatingly powerful attack. This state left them vulnerable to a practiced hunter.

It was a dangerous gamble because if the person acting as bait was hit, then the resulting impact could be rather deadly.

Culling the local population into small hunts like this was a tradition for their village of Locke. Neither Tara nor Arkrune had been on a prior hunt. Both of them had been training with Vickar for months and pestering him for a chance to put their practice to the test.

Being out in the field after so much begging sent Arkrune’s heart into a wild beat. This is what I wanted. A sense of adventure, action, excitement. Truly, this is… The cries of screeching beasts drew his eyes back into the air and cleared his mind. There was no time for flights of fancy. As the bait, he needed to attract the Bash Eagle’s attention and give Tara an opportunity to strike. By becoming a moving target and waving his sword around, he hoped to create an enticing opponent for at least one monster. His father had taught him a technique sure to draw attention, but now was not the time for it, as it could draw the attention of all the beasts present.

Two birds broke off from the pack, aiming directly for his position. Tara shouted something, but the roar of his heart in his ears drowned out almost everything else from Arkrune’s perception. He knew what the plan was—what he was supposed to do—but being in the moment was different.

Both birds began their dive with a terrifying amount of speed. They seamlessly transitioned from a graceful glide into a nosedive with a single large flap of their massive wings. With them bearing down on his position, the boy found his body refusing commands. The panic froze him in place. No longer was he in the gravel training pit his father had made; now he was facing a true threat to his life, and it terrified him.

When the dull yellow eyes of the Bash Eagles became visible, Arkrune’s brain started working once more. It was too late; there wasn’t enough time for him to react.


BLURB:

In a world struggling with political and religious differences, eighteen-year-old Arkrune—"Rune" to his friends—dreams of something greater than the quiet life in his small village of Locke. Trained by his stern but loving father, a renowned blacksmith and former warrior, Rune sets his sights on joining the famous monster fighting guild known as the Vanguard.

When Rune embarks on his journey to the city of Hilden to pursue his destiny, he carries with him more than just a finely crafted sword—but also a mystery tied to his bloodline and the dormant power within him. Along the way, Rune forms bonds with battle-hardened warriors, fends off deadly attacks by monsters and men alike, and begins to uncover the hidden strengths he didn’t know he possessed.

Verity Rose grew up in a blink and you’ll miss it Indiana town where the school library doubled as an escape hatch. She wrote her first fantasy scenes at thirteen, lost the thread for a while, wrestling with undiagnosed ADHD and mental health potholes. She rediscovered her voice after becoming a mom and stumbling into a gaggle of online book nerds who egged her on. Armed with a social work degree from Ball State and a lifelong conviction that characters are as real as the hands on the keyboard, she now pours that people first empathy into stories that refuse to stay quiet.

When she isn’t tormenting her characters, Verity is probably reverse engineering a Korean street food recipe, sourcing single origin coffee beans from ethical roasters, or hoarding trash in Dragon Age or Skyrim. Her literary inspiration is equal parts Rick Riordan’s mythic swagger, Suzanne Collins’ high stakes heart, and John Flanagan’s cozy camaraderie.

Verity was raising her family (and her caffeine tolerance) amid Indiana cornfields and now adventures in the Pacific Northwest with them. She’s always down to swap book recs, coffee tips, or preferred RPG builds.
