Book Description:
Jennaveve, the Fey chosen by the
Goddess to be the queen of her people for the past few millennium, is tired and
wishes for a break, but hadn’t counted on being reduced to almost mortal thanks
to a dark stranger. They say you should be careful what you wish for. The last
time she’d taken a break, her Fey had left their realm, resulting in shifters
on Earth known as the Mystic and Iron Wolves and even more she was still
searching for.
Damien and Lucas Cordell knew
they’d share a Hearts Love when the time came. As the twin sons of the Vampire
King who’d mated a shifter, they were the first of their kind. When they’d
thought their mate was finally within their reach and was a shifter like their
mother only to realize she wasn’t theirs, they’d almost lost their lives to the
alpha of the Iron Wolves, Kellen Styles. Instead, the error led them to the
being that was…the Fey Queen Jennaveve. Only she was even more elusive than the
wind.
Time and patience was something
Damien and Lucas had in spades, until the female they’d already laid claim to,
even if she hadn’t accepted them yet, was taken by an enemy. Saving Jenna
became their one and only focus. As time and realms slip between them, their
fear for her had them forgetting about patience and made claiming Jenna as
their Hearts Love, hoping she accepted their Dark Embrace.
Will the Cordell Twins be able to
rescue Jenna from the evil who has taken her?
Will Jenna get her powers back?
Who is the dark presence and how will they defeat a being who is strong enough
to bring the Fey Queen down to her knees?
Excerpt
Dark Embrace
“Hello again,
Fey. You’re looking slightly ill. Are my…family not treating you well?” His
eyes flashed from obsidian to red. Where her men had gorgeous eyes that she
wanted to get lost in, this mans were cold and lifeless.
His words
finally registered. “Your family?”
He raked his
claws together, making them clack in a way Jenna was sure he did to scare his
victims. Newsflash asshole, I’ve faced bigger, badder, uglier, and hopefully
deadlier foes, she thought.
“I’d love for us
to stay here and chat, but I fear the big guy is waking, and well, I’m not in
the mood for a reunion just yet. By the way. Sorry, my pet. I don’t usually use
females as pawns, but in this instance, it’s a must.” He flew across the room,
eliminating the space separating them.
Jenna fell back
against the bed, nearly falling on her ass. His quick reflexes kept her
upright. “What the hell are you talking about?” She pressed her hand to his
chest, trying to put space between them.
He shook his
head. “You’ll find out in due time, my pet. Now, we must go before
father-what-a-waste awakens.”
She knew the
telltale signs of magic and could feel it as the man in front of her began to
manipulate the fabrics of time and space. “Who are you?”
He flashed her a
smile, white teeth with two canines much longer than the others prevalent. “My
name is Khan, son of Zahidda. Bastard son of Damikan at your service.”
The door flew
open, giving her hope she’d be saved. The sight of Damien and Lucas had her
shoving harder against the rock-hard chest. “Let me go, asshole. I’m not your
pawn.” It was like trying to move a mountain if you were a mere human. Goddess,
she hated being so weak.
“Jenna, flash
away,” Damien growled.
“Ah, but your
female can’t. It seems I’m her cure, little brothers,” Khan taunted.
Lucas stepped
forward. “Who are you and what do you want?”
Khan tilted his
head to the side. “You have nothing I want. Tell your father I’ll be in touch.
Oh, here,” he tossed a necklace onto the bed. “He’ll know who I am with that.
If not, then you’re little plaything will become mine…until I tire of her.”
Blackness
swirled around Jenna as she heard both Lucas and Damien roar her name. A sick
feeling hit her square in the gut, one she knew all too well. Khan was playing
a game with the Cordell’s. One only he knew the rules to, and he had zero
compassion for anyone getting in his way unless he could use them for his own
gain. Jenna just happened to be exactly what he needed in order to hit back at
the man he felt deserved it. Shit, she so could use her Fey powers, or even her
bestie Kellen right about now. Or even better, if she’d not have been so
stubborn and mated with Lucas and Damien instead of waiting, then none of this
would have happened. “Well, what if’s do nothing but make big girls cry over
spilled milk,” she muttered to herself.
“What?” Khan
asked as he opened the portal allowing light to filter in.
She blinked a
few times. “Huh?”
“You mumbled
something about girls crying and spilled milk.” He carried her over to a couch
and set her down. His gentle touch and actions at war with his words to Damien
and Lucas.
The light airy
room reminded Jenna of a lake cabin, one that families would go to on vacation.
“Oh, um, nothing. I talk to myself sometimes.”
Khan shrugged
his shoulders. “Make yourself comfy, you’ll be here for a spell or two.” He
winked.
A growl rumbled
in her throat. “Hahaha, very funny.”
He was next to
her in a blink. “No, I’m not funny at all. What I am is deadly. You will do
best to remember that.” He raised his nails, the longer lengths looking ominous
now, reminding her of the night he’d cut her cheek.
“You did
something to me when you sliced my cheek open.” If he was going to kill her,
she’d at least know the hows and whys.
Elle Boon lives in Middle-Merica

a curve, she swerved with it, since she’s athletically challenged. She’s known
for saying “Bless Your Heart” and dropping lots of F-bombs, but she loves where
this new journey has taken her.
She writes what she loves to
read, and that is romance, whether it’s erotic, Navy SEALs, or paranormal, as
long as there is a happily ever after. Her biggest hope is that after readers
have read one of her stories, they fall in love with her characters as much as
she did. She loves creating new worlds, and has more stories just waiting to be
written. Elle believes in happily ever afters, and can guarantee you will
always get one with her stories.
