Biologist
Shauni Miller, a beautiful as she is compassionate, harbors a secret
that could alter her life forever. If she chooses to share it. Dr.
Michael Black helps Shauni in her time of need, but sees more in the
raven-haired temptress than she ever meant to reveal. He knows she’s
hiding something, but then, so is he. Both Shauni and Michael have a
role to play and decisions to make as a centuries-old prophecy has
yet to be fulfilled. Only the fates know if they are meant to be
together. Or if one of them has to die.
Excerpt
“Oh,
no you don’t,” she said with a shake of her finger. “I’m not
being derailed again.”
“What?”
His gaze lingered on her shoulders and the curve of her neck. He
wasn’t halfway finished with her, yet. “Yeah. You were going to
tell me something.”
“Now
you’re catching on. And you were going to tell me how you found me
out in those woods.” She looked at the large, golden lump of dog
snoring in the foyer. “And don’t tell me it was all him.”
Michael
felt his previous mellow aura zipping up tight. She’d relaxed him
to the point of pre-catatonia then after one look at her, he’d been
aroused again and gunning for round two.
Now he
felt neither level of satisfaction. He was back to agonizing over how
she would react to his dirty little secret. Hell, she might consider
it a breach of privacy, the way he perceived what people were
feeling, especially his ability to tune in to her so well. It was
like he had a direct line to channel Shauni. All day. All night.
So he
did what any fearless man would do. “You go first.”
Author
Bio
Suza
Kates can’t remember a time when she didn’t love books, but two
particular memories stay with her. “As a young girl I picked up
Little Women,
read it straight through, and promptly turned to page one to start
all over again. The next book I did that with was Mind
Hunter by John Douglas,
tales about profiling serial killers.”
Thus
a twisted romantic was born.
Throughout
her teenage and young adult years, she read everything from horror to
historical romance yet never imagined writing anything of her own.
It
was during a long, cold winter in a tiny apartment in Germany that
Suza picked up a pen and notebook to entertain herself. “The
apartment was so tiny, my bed also served as my living room couch.
Plus, I shared it with three cats.”
Missing
the warmth, the hospitality, and the food of the South, she wrote
about those things with a huge dose of family thrown in. She says she
still has a sweet spot in her heart for her first book, Southern
Moon, but to date, she
hasn’t revisited it for submission to her publisher.
Suza
followed her heart to Savannah, Georgia, and it was the gorgeous city
with its moss-covered oaks and secrets of history that inspired her
to consider paranormal romance. “I had an idea about sisters and
magic, so I went to work on the first book of The
Savannah Coven Series,
Whisper of a Witch.
The series is still going strong, and I am grateful every day that I
took a chance on paranormal romance, a genre I wasn’t very familiar
with and had never actually read before writing it.”
Suza
has since joined RWA and can’t say enough about this organization.
“The education and support are unparalleled. I am so grateful to
all of my fellow writers who have offered advice.”
Suza
still resides in Savannah and is currently working on her next book.
She considers it a perfect day when she can sit at the keyboard with
coffee in her cup and one of her cats purring in her lap.

Hard to deal with the harsh reality of fate sometimes. I hope theirs is OK.

Loved the blurb, Suza. I hope you do revisit and submit, your first book Southern Moon. Just think how much better it will be now with all the experience you've gathered since you first penned it. Congratulations on the new release!

So glad you're taking part in the tour, and thanks!
