WELCOME TO:
MASQUERADE
MASQUERADE: Somewhere, on a cool marble dance floor, festive dancers are twirling to the haunted echoes of cellos and violins. With the swoosh of floating ball gowns, mystery conceals the regal faces of high society Sirs and Madames. Plump, pouted lips are rouged dark with crimson. The seductive flutter of glittered lids and kohl-lined lashes tease masculine suitors with sultry, heated gazes. Staring through the sculpted art of vibrant painted masks, you struggle to find what lies beneath the facade. Hidden in the shadows of plumed feathers, faceted jewels, and the recoiled bounce of corkscrew curls, you yearn to possess the unknown secrets of your soul.
The music stops, but only for a moment. Captured by the vivid green gaze glowing at you through the black satin finish of his mask, this pale, raven-haired suitor makes his way towards you. His stare never falters from your face. Holding your breath, your lungs begin to beg for air. The beat of your heart thunders against the bodice of your dress. Well aware of his hunt, every instinct promises the thrill of the chase. This handsome rogue has made you his prey. Approaching with long, confident strides, he stakes his claim with the fancy display of a gentleman's bow and the introduction of his name.
Dorien's knowing, emerald eyes twinkle with mischief. He slowly lifts your hand towards the rakish grin commandeering every delicious plain of his perfect, sculpted face. Groaning upon impact, the frigid feel of his mouth bestows a scandalous kiss on the inside flesh of your wrist. Pulled into the safety of his muscled embrace, the unnatural coolness of his touch ignites a fire that threatens to consume you. Leading you into the newest song of waltz, it's finally your turn to dance...only this time...it's forever.
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 39, and 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 by Fall 2011. Three more books are planned to follow.
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.
