Romance Your Dark Side Virtual Book Tour & Giveaway

 



The Harpyiai Order.

We are the Harpyiai.

People snatchers. Monsters out of the darkest fairytales. The sins of our forefathers bind us in blood to a lifetime of obligation, rituals, and death.

They call us Marquises.

Men capable of taking your body and mind to the limits.

Sometimes beyond.

Honour.

Most of us would rather die than lose it, and some have.

Our training robs us of our humanity.

Distorts our view of consent, love, and family.

Our bloodlines are carefully controlled. Those born inside the order become masters over the others – the illegitimate children of a Marquis and an outsider.

All except for me.

Sacrifice.

My father broke our traditions and had his illegitimate son trained as a Marquis.

I was the sacrifice he made for the mistake of my birth.

But I refused to comply with their demands.

Only his status and wealth keep me alive; an unwilling pawn, a foot soldier in the games he plays with the other families.

Only one unbreakable rule keeps my brother from sharing my fate.

Protocol.

I can't have a normal life.

Can't have her.

But I want her, even if it's forbidden, even if it puts everything at risk.

She is the light in my darkness – the pleasure in my pain.

The forbidden fruit in my corrupted world – another illegitimate.

The only question is, how much will this cost us all?


Author's note: This is a dark romance. It contains strong language, violence, and situations some may find triggering.

This is the first book in a series. No cheating. HEA guaranteed

  Cassandra Growing up, I was mesmerized by a man soaring the skies. The greatest silk aerialist in the world, Chandler Moreau. He was once my lifeline, the dream I clung to after my parents died. I’ve always believed he was my destiny. To join him at the Dreamers Academy. To perform for him. To soar with him. He’s more than I ever imagined. Far more than a mentor. When I am high in the silks, turning, flying, falling, he’s my lifeline once again. Twisting my heart and my body into knots like the knots of his beloved Japanese rope bondage, Shibari. I don’t want to live without him. With each lesson, each touch, I crave more. Only he can satisfy me. And only he can destroy me… But I must keep him safe from the past that relentlessly follows me. 

  Chandler She is my protégé, the student I’ve been waiting to take under my wing for my entire career. Someone with whom I could share my lifelong journey in my family’s circus, Cirque du Lys. I never intended to fall in love with the student I was supposed to protect—from myself and the demons that lurk in my shadows. But sometimes fate has other plans. Cassandra, my beautiful butterfly. I know she’s off limits. Forbidden. Still, I want her in my life. My heart. My bed. My grandfather’s taunting words still linger. Mieux vaut plier que rompre. Adapt and survive. It’s what we must do. Cassandra and I share a history that entwines us more than the silks we’ve spent our lives mastering ever could. There are secrets from the past that must never be told. And truths that could destroy what we’ve just begun…

Excerpt

I hadn’t needed to prompt her. She began, pulling herself upward, drawing those silks around her small frame as she went. Climbing high into the air as the two women began their duet. The French lyrics pulled me in every time. It was perhaps one of the reasons that while I simply tolerated most opera songs I’d heard, I adored this song.

Every time I heard it, every time I got lost in those little nuances of the language, it brought me back to summertime in Melun, France. Playing on the hills overlooking the city, lost in the grasses filled with wildflowers. Climbing into Meme’s apple trees. Perhaps the time in my life when it had felt so simple. All there were, were the memories of when I’d been happy.

And if there was any place I wanted to be, as I watched Cassandra ascending above me, knowing in seconds I would be right beside her, it was in those memories again. Bringing her with me.

The first stanza finished, and my mind immediately centered. My hands had already been wrapped in the silks without having to think about it. She paused, and I saw her attention drift downward. We fell captive to one another, and it was all I needed to see. I knew it was my turn to go to her. She was waiting for me.

In the same fashion she had moments earlier, I began my way up the silks beside hers, which had been a deep royal purple color. The entire time I made my way high into the room, I immersed myself in the French lyrics, the strings complimenting every rise and fall of the two women’s voices. Some moments, I’d lose myself in what I was doing, taking careful note of all the little adjustments my body was making. Other times, my attention drifted upward. Until finally, I was just beneath Cassandra.

When I paused again, I took a few deep breaths, steadying myself. Focused entirely on the beautiful woman above me, who was just as attentive to me. I nodded to her, signaling I was ready, prepared to follow her in whatever she had thought to do next.

At the precise moment when I had met her, she had already begun moving herself into a sailor pose above me, legs splitting, and much to my satisfaction, every single part of her in perfect position. All the small details I’d shown her the first lesson we’d had together were as pristine as when I’d helped her myself.

I would have taken more time to truly enjoy how proud of her I felt if she hadn’t twisted downward, dropping her torso straight toward me in a graceful fall. Before she’d completed it, I knew what she’d done. A Rainbow Marchenko. A famous move of Jeanne’s for many years. But watching her as she settled into it, I would have thought it was hers alone.

Cassandra’s hands dropped, releasing the silks. Dangling inches away. The only thing holding her in the air was the precise folds of those green fabrics wrapped around her legs.

Looking into her eyes as she hung there, waiting for me to act, all I could do was smile. She’d been focused, lost in her own world, but she’d come back to me. We were together again in the very place I had wanted to be with her ever since I’d seen her flying through the silks at her audition. I had dreamt about it every time since, every lesson we had, every time I’d watched her from the shadows of the theater while she practiced.

I had taken her to those fields in Melun with me, high in the trees. Trapped us both in those treasured memories, made all the better knowing she was there.

“I’ve got you, Cassandra,” I called out to her, gently. Steadying myself, my body locked in place. Breathing slow and rhythmic and calm. I watched her take the same breath as I had, waiting for the little drop in the lyrics before the next few lines began.

The moment their voices bellowed into the theater again, she let herself drop in a salto. In a gentle sweep of my body, I caught her gracefully into my arms. Twisted us together, letting the silks take hold of the two of us as we swung across the room, dozens of feet above the stage below us. Falling like two feathers locked together, dancing into the wind.

When the fabrics released us, I swung us outward. Our bodies drifted apart again as she spun around me, both of us still descending toward the floor. As beautiful as she looked, circling outward away from me, the moment she had, I wanted her back. I used my legs to give myself enough momentum to swing forward, latching on again once she’d appeared.

Cassandra had been so close I’d felt her breath against my face while we dangled above the stage. I got lost in the way it felt to be tangled up with her, a mess of bodies and fabric. Consumed by it. Convinced I might never let go of her again.

As we’d traversed the rest of the way back to the stage, I didn’t. The two of us descended together as a singular unit, just her and I and the fabrics. Improvising the graceful fall we were doing, finding little tricks and motions to carry out, all the while never leaving her side.

We’d both reached the floor, perfectly in sync with one another. I heard a gentle thump as we landed. Followed by the sound of both of our light, audible breaths. Steadying ourselves back on the ground.

Even having left the air, the silks still wrapped around us. Neither of us had freed ourselves. Cassandra was still in my arms, something I realized, when I hadn’t been so caught up in what we were doing all those feet above us, was happening for the very first time.

The sweet smell of oranges overwhelmed me. Her beautiful hazel eyes, those captivating flecks of grays and greens and browns, drowned out the world around us. I watched her breathing softly, holding her to me and those silks holding me to her.

And in those next few moments, every single solitary thing keeping me from her since the day we had met no longer existed in the little reality we were trapped in. Every fear I had, every reservation, disappeared. I tightened her to me, my hands capturing the sides of her face in a gentle sweep, as elegant as every other thing we’d done those last few minutes.

Our mouths fell together, and I lost myself in her. Trapped in those profound and so unbelievably relieving seconds in which the things that had stood in our way no longer mattered.

I hadn’t thought anything could have surpassed the experience the two of us just shared. Undeniably, it had been the best minutes I had ever spent in those silks in my entire career. As simple as it had been. And we had barely started. This was only the beginning.

But this moment now was just as wonderful. As perfect as I could have hoped.

Tattooed bad boys and motorcycles? Happy publication day and congratulations to Lottie Berki on the release of the next book in the Flying Panthers MC series! 

    

  Trucker (Flying Panthers MC #2) 

  Publication Date: May 26th, 2023 

  Genre: MC Romance/ Dark Spicy Romance 

The timing is never wrong when you fall for someone who takes you on an exhilarating, passionate, fear-defying ride at full throttle. Phill—or “Trucker,” as he is known to his fellow Flying Panthers Motor Club members—has always lived and breathed for one thing—his biker family. Handlebar, Smokey, Knuckles, and the rest of his group live hard, party harder, and put their lives on the line to defend their territory. The Flying Panthers have “shipments” to make, but they also run a successful security business that is slowly but surely leading them in a more “legit” direction. Despite their success, their safety is constantly under threat, since a rival MC—the Monster Heads—will stop at no cost to sabotage their work and claim part of the territory that has cost the Panthers blood, sweat, and tears to possess. In the midst of this tense environment, Trucker—who has always been a ladies’ man —meets someone who turns his life around. He knows from the moment he gazes into her beautiful green eyes and takes in her curvy figure that he won’t be able to resist her. Chloe is the new waitress at Laura’s diner. She has moved to this part of town to get away from an abusive ex who simply won’t take “no” for an answer. The last thing she expects is to fall in love—until Trucker walks in and gives her a look that ignites a deep desire she has never felt before. Meanwhile, Trucker and the Panthers are called upon to fight their fiercest battle against the Monsters—or risk losing everything they have worked so hard to achieve. Trucker is an exciting tale of love, lust, and power. Will Trucker and Chloe ever find the blissful life they dream of? Or will their enemies dash their hopes of building a future together?
