WELCOME TO:
THE TREASURE OF DESTINY:
WHERE TIME AND LOVE
BOTH COLLIDE WITH THE HEART
TIME AND THE SPAN OF CENTURIES CANNOT STOP IT: They say for every soul, a perfect match is ordained. Pre-destined, consecrated, decided by fate. From the moment we are born, our heart lies in wait, searching for the one who will make each beat dance a little faster. But what if the the one created to love your heart was born centuries ago?  Could destiny hold a man long enough to allow him to love a woman who wouldn't be born for over two thousands years? Prepare for two different worlds to collide. 

Tragedy will bring them together.  Awoken by her kiss, their lives will never be the same. An unexpected night of passion will change their lives forever.
His immortality and love will place her in grave danger. The evil oracle Demona has already claimed him. Dorien makes a wager with the oracle. He and Evangeline's future depends on the birth of a son.


Will Evangeline lose him forever? 
SPARTAN HEART SAGA:
WHERE TIME-TRAVEL
PARANORMAL ROMANCE
MEETS HISTORY AND DESTINY


SPARTAN HEART:
LOSING IT ALL PLACES YOU
IN A POSITION TO GAIN EVERYTHING.

TIME MEANS NOTHING WHEN THE ONE DESTINED
TO LOVE YOUR HEART HAS WAITED CENTURIES!

Sent away to college in America, Evangeline swore she would never return to England. Anger loses its value when tragedy forces her home to assume ownership of the family's beloved Greco-Roman museum.

Placing a foolish, drunken kiss on a Greek statue in the museum's basement, Evangeline unknowingly frees a Spartan prince from an evil oracle's curse. Suddenly, her lonely life is invaded by the rakish man with knowing emerald green eyes who never eats or sleeps, and seems to know her every thought and feeling.

Falling in love is dangerous, especially when it's with a man who has already been claimed by the bitter oracle Demona. From the moment of her kiss, Evangeline is swept into Dorien's world of mystery, danger, and passion. The Oracle's fury only mounts as they unravel Demona's darkest secrets, but not before Demona finds out about their unborn half-breed immortal twins.

Demona uses her knowledge of the future to manipulate, but sometimes love has a will, and a heart...of its own.

About the Author:

Kristine Cheney is a published author with Astraea Press. She is currently writing the Spartan Heart Saga series and has released Spartan Heart, Part One, and Spartan Heart, Part Two. She is currently writing the next book in the series, Spartan Surrender, which is expected to be released before the end of 2011. Three more books are planned to follow. She is also currently writing Guilty of Innocence, a single-title release expected in Fall 2011.

An Arizona native, Kristine lives in Surprise and has been married 21 years to her high school sweetheart Brett. She is the mother of Taryn, Brett, and Zackary, and is a young Grammy to Parker, Ivy, and baby Evely'nn. A huge labrador lover, she is also mom to yellow lab Magnus and to the very naughty (and huge) white Labra-doodle puppy Brody.

Hobbies include writing passionate love stories that involve chivalrous characters, dashing adventure, forked humor, and the ever-true good vs. evil dilemma. Her favorite place to relax is anywhere within close proximity to a beach or wooded lake. A huge history buff, she plans to one day make a trek across the US to get her fill of American wonder (with hubby, labs, and lap top in tow). She loves a good hot cup of coffee with Creme Brulee liquid creamer and sugar. A maestro with a bag of frosting, Wilton cake decorating lessons only fueled her artistic fire. She is pretty darn awesome at crankin' out a deluxe wedding, baby shower, or themed birthday cake that will make your toes curl.
