<br />
<div align="center"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><strong>THESSALUS & TARYN</strong></span></div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black;">The exciting Spartan Heart Saga continues!<br />
<br />
Stubborn and independent, Taryn Hampton takes a calculated gamble. Despite the dangers of a half-breed birth, she’s run off to Blackpool Sands, determined to deliver Thessalus’ baby alone. But when complications arise, desperation soon sets in. With no one around to save Taryn and her unborn child, she’s forced to barter with an evil nemesis for the safety of her newborn. Cursed to endure the consequences of her foolish decisions, she must face this eternal punishment with a mother’s sacrifice.<br />
<br />
Thessalus Agiad wants only Taryn, but the willful woman refuses to submit to her feelings. Finding out about his unborn, half-breed babe, he’s aware that Taryn loves him, but she’s still terrified of his immortality. To make matters worse, she now fears his child that grows within her belly. Tired of her repeated rejections and the endless game of chasing after her, Thessalus gives the woman he loves an ultimatum.<br />
<br />
The Oracle Demona is wretched, as ever. Tipped off by one of her visions, she awaits the day to retaliate against Dorien and Evangeline. Aware of Taryn’s impending folly, Demona exploits her mistakes to the point of utter devastation. The Witch hires the rakish immortal, Dastan, to carry out her evil plans, knowing well that he’s just another pawn in her self-rigged game.<br />
<br />
Enamored with Taryn Hampton, Dastan wants the feisty vixen for himself. Thessalus Agiad is the only man who stands in his way. Hired by Demona to kidnap Taryn, Dastan decides it’s an added bonus to torment his enemy. But Taryn is sick with fever, and he gets more than he bargained for when she becomes a tempting siren in his bed. It matters not that his comely hostage believes that he is Thessalus.<br />
<br />
Curses, manipulations, and fears may decimate everything that lies between Taryn and Thessalus, but sometimes love can balm the scars of a wounded soul, and force the most stubborn heart to surrender.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Holly Gordon’s estrangement from her family makes loneliness of the Christmas season hit close to home. Volunteering for the annual Ashton Falls Secret Santa Program is more than a comfort, it’s a blessing. Just knowing she’s able to help another hurting soul experience the joy of a heartfelt Christmas makes her own reality a tiny bit sweeter, that is, until Marcus Jenner ends up on her list.</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Marcus Jenner is more than a bronze, muscled looker. This Chickasaw loner isn’t happy being placed on the town’s Secret Santa list. Suffering from the blow of a devastating loss, he has chosen to withdraw from living almost completely. For the life of him, he can’t figure why this pretty little blonde keeps bumping into him, calling him by name, and insisting on giving him presents. Unfortunately for Marcus, every time she does, a billowing cloud of havoc seems to ensue. Why can’t this uninvited vixen leave him alone?</span></strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></strong></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">They say time and fate have all of the answers. Holly, in all of her innocence, is drawn to Marcus like a moth to the flame. But Marcus has no intentions of submitting to the threat of his newfound feelings. A painful exchange pushes their lives into a pendulum chaos. His demand for privacy is granted by Holly’s hidden illness. Her sudden absence hits him hard, especially when the arrival of a stranger delivers the rest of his gifts. Right away, he knows something’s horribly wrong. </span></strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<strong><span style="font-size: large;">Love and selfless giving can rouse a wounded, sleeping heart. But sometimes a secret santa gets a few unexpected gifts of her own.</span></strong><br />

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Demona uses her knowledge of the future to manipulate, but sometimes love has a will, and a heart...of its own.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: medium;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.</strong></span></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: red;">NOTHING'S MORE FUN THAN THE HALLOWEEN SEASON:</span> October is the spookiest time of the year. Children dressed in costume bustle neighborhoods in delight. Illuminated by the haze of a blood covered moon, you can see them in the shadows: super heroes, princesses, zombies, vampires and witches, all of them whoosh from house to house, each of them aspiring to fill their pillowcase sacks with treats. </span></strong></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: medium;">Crisp, wicked night air is brisk and haunting. The soft, lit ambience of meticulously carved pumpkins glow from every neighbor's porch</span></strong><strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: medium;">. Girlfriends get together for sleepovers, huddled in preparation of scary movie night. You can hear the screeches of unseen spectors and the hisses of the black cat crossing your path. Do you dare to enter a cursed corn maze? Are you brave enough to withstand a night inside the haunted house on the hill?</span></span></strong></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black; font-size: medium;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Demona uses her knowledge of the future to manipulate, but sometimes love has a will, and a heart...of its own.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: medium;"><strong>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.</strong></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-size: medium;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: medium;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.</strong></span></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;">THERE'S NOTHING LIKE FALL, FOR IT IS MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR:</span> Fall is the time when everything slows down. The hustle and bustle of the sizzling, hot sun finally silences, and the hands of time seem to slow. The days get shorter, the sunsets blush deeper, and ripe, juicy fruits are awaiting their last, lush plucking of the season</span></strong><strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">.</span></span></strong></div>

<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever witnessed the husky, amber glow of a full harvest moon? The air turns crisp. Football season keeps the men-folk happy. Front porches fill with laughter and neighborly visits. Then there's the slow, creaking rocks of a slotted porch swing on a cool evening. Parents regain their sanity when restless children rush back to school.</span></span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">Autumn brings changes to the landscape. Fall flowers boast dark, jeweled tones. Even the trees won't be left unscathed. Leaves turn from vivid greens to brazen colors of yellow, orange, red, brown, and even black. </span></span></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">Then there's the tantalizing scents that drive us all crazy. The linger of spiced cider, the beckoning aromas of cinnamon and family dinners. Patches of pumpkins grow round and fat for the upcoming festivals of October.</span></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">And then there's love...young, sweet kisses by the bushelful. The feel of the one you love pressed against you in a lover's tender embrace. There's nothing like the joyous sounds of a wedding march, ringing through the rafters of a little white church in the middle of November.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></strong></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Demona uses her knowledge of the future to manipulate, but sometimes love has a will, and a heart...of its own.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><strong>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.</strong></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.</strong></span></div>

<strong><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red;"><span style="color: magenta;">THERE'S NOTHING LIKE SUMMER:</span></span> Okay, it's really as sweltering hot as Hades...and there's quite a few flying, pesky bugs buzzing around, and man that wretched humidity can smother a mortal where they stand</span></strong><strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">. But still, there are quite a few things about summertime that we must never fail to forget.</span></span></strong></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">Have you ever witnessed the way the sun melts when it extinguishes its flame in the coolness of the ocean? What about the bloom of a perfect, English rose? Then there's the refreshing taste of an ice cold mint julep, a juicy sno-cone, or a bright colored popsicle whetting our whistle. You can't forget the slices of watermelon, the BBQ's and strand lit barn dances, with plenty of hot dogs, hamburgers, and Grandma's famous macaroni salad to pass around.</span></span></strong></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<strong><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: large;">And then there's love...young, sweet ripe kisses by the bushelful. The feel of the one you love pressed against you in a lover's tender embrace. The wedding march down an aisle in the last week of June. Cincada's twanging their secret storm songs, bringing the promises of whooshing winds and pouring rain.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></strong></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Demona uses her knowledge of the future to manipulate, but sometimes love has a will, and a heart...of its own.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><strong>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.</strong></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.</strong></span></div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Excerpt from Spartan Heart, Part One: A Steamy-Sweet Romance Recommmended for Ages 17+</strong></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;">The museum elevator doors shut. Evangeline pushed the lower level button for the basement. Her heels clicked loud against the marble tiles. Stepping into the Treasure Recovery Room, she spotted the familiar table of lanterns, and headed towards the center of the room. Evangeline’s head turned in search of the statue. Her brows furrowed in confusion. All that remained of the statue was an empty marble platform base. Did someone move the statue? Steal it? Did she dream or imagine it? She was sure there was statue of a Spartan warrior down here. Now it was gone!</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"> <br />
A gnarled voice came from behind her. “Can I help you, Miss?”</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><div align="LEFT">Evangeline whirled around. “Oh, you startled me!”</div><div align="LEFT"><br />
The man smiled in hedonistic pleasure. “Pardon me. I’m Phebus. Visitors are not allowed here. I’m afraid I‘ll have to escort you upstairs.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Evangeline controlled her reaction to the hideous man. In an instant, she didn’t like him. His scarred, distorted face reminded her of unmatched puzzle pieces fused together with thick burned scar tissue. A shiver of fear bolted down her spine. Rubbing her hands down the length of her arms, she tried to ward off a chill. Instinct told her to run.</div><div align="LEFT"><br />
“I’m not a visitor, Phebus, I’m your new boss, Evangeline Montgomery.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
His demeanor changed in an instant. Phebus looked furious. Offering a scarred limb, she knew he forced his smile. In the same token, she accepted his mangled hand. At the unnatural touch of his cold skin, she shivered. It made her think of Dorien. The uncanny resemblance was troubling.</div><div align="LEFT"><br />
“I apologize, Miss Montgomery. Welcome back.”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
He was lying, she saw it in his eyes. Withdrawing her hand, everything about him repulsed her. “Why, thank you, Phebus.” She played along.</div><div align="LEFT"><br />
“May I ask what you’re looking for?”</div><div align="LEFT"><br />
“I thought a Spartan statue was down here. I can’t seem to locate it.”</div><div align="LEFT"><br />
His scarred brow furrowed. “Funny you mention it. One has been missing for weeks,” he shouted in anger.</div><div align="LEFT"><br />
Evangeline took a protective step back.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
“My apologies. I’m afraid I’m quite protective of the museum’s treasures.” His greasy, black hair seemed to slither towards his mangled face. “I almost caught the thief on the night of the statue’s disappearance. The intruder somehow escaped the room before I could reach him. Perhaps he stole the statue you seek.”</div><div align="LEFT"><br />
“Did you call Scotland Yard? Why wasn’t I notified of the theft?”</div><div align="LEFT"><br />
“You were on bereavement leave, Miss Montgomery.”</div><div align="LEFT"><br />
“I don’t care what I was doing, Phebus. Something this important should have been reported immediately.”</div><div align="LEFT"><br />
His eyes narrowed.</div><div align="LEFT"><br />
“Another oversight and you’ll lose your job. Do I make myself clear?”</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Phebus took a menacing step towards her. His smile was evil. It made her stomach feel queasy. Taking another step back, Evangeline felt threatened. She cried out when she bumped into someone behind her. Whirling around, she let out a sigh of relief. “Mr. Cornwallis!” She was grateful for his presence.</div><br />
“Ah, Evangeline. I was told you were down here, my dear."</span></span></span></div><div align="left"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIz9REzI1cu0oPk_8nqiIZRkGIRqp2ykDM95PgWdQJd1iLB5OIDBa1j13ZuOVMCE70EfyZqhcWvNo0v6u6xyon-mGg62nuLHyD_R2uol0UbVFLtBDEaZxaeX5QDECW4MByPNeAUOB4-Anm/s1600/SH.Paraebates.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIz9REzI1cu0oPk_8nqiIZRkGIRqp2ykDM95PgWdQJd1iLB5OIDBa1j13ZuOVMCE70EfyZqhcWvNo0v6u6xyon-mGg62nuLHyD_R2uol0UbVFLtBDEaZxaeX5QDECW4MByPNeAUOB4-Anm/s320/SH.Paraebates.jpg" t$="true" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<span style="color: black;"><strong>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 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.</strong></span><span style="color: black;"></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
<span style="color: black;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.</strong></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"><div style="text-align: justify;">The gravesite service was comatose. The constant flashes of cameras persisted. It made Evangeline feel like a freak at a circus. Strangers stared and gawked, pushing her over the edge. Wanting to scream like a woman possessed, all she could do was stand there in silence. The bodies of her parents were lowered into the ground. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">With a toss of her hands, bouquets of red and white roses whooshed through the air. Then she heard it; the sick moist thud of flowers made contact with the tops of shadowed caskets. Breaking free of Taryn and Eliza’s grasp, Evangeline reached her summit. She finally gave in to temptation.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">She ran.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hopping over benches, Evangeline skipped over decorative stones and brushed past baskets and urns full of bright artificial flowers. She didn’t care that she left them standing with their jaws dropped open in stunned silence. She slowed her run to a brisk walk. Shuffled steps carried her as fast as black matte heels would allow. Any moment now, she would reach the safety of the limousine. The car would give her solace from all of these crazy people. Swollen, tear-blurred eyes made walking difficult.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Evangeline wound her way through the cemetery. Blinking several times helped clear away the cobwebs. Heels sunk deep into the damp earth. Slowing her pace, she wound around crypts half consumed by ivy. Limestone headstones all seemed to match. Every one of them was etched with angels, flags, and heartfelt poems. Taryn’ voice was faint. It echoed far behind her. Refusing to look back, Evangeline didn’t stop. Out from the shadows, a stranger approached her. Ignoring him, she planned to side-step the bloke. But something sparked the moment his eyes caressed her face. Familiarity forced a quick second look. Shimmers of deja-vu made her stop abrupt.</div></span></span><span style="font-family: PalatinoLinotype-Roman;"></span><div align="left"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In an instant, she was angry. How could the voidless stare of a statue make her feel so pierced and violated? She felt mocked, laughed at. Like he knew her every secret. With a bolt, she charged towards him. Her arms were raised high. The crowbar posed above her head, she was ready to strike. But her steps slowed, practically on their own volition. She realized her folly and fell to her blood‑dried knees. The bar went reeling aside. Its eerie echo consumed the room with the angry sounds of metal.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Her arms embraced the statue’s legs. Tears fell on his sandaled feet. She hiccupped aloud. The unknown force was back, urging her to look upon his handsome face again; making her wish his strong arms could hold her. Stepping up before him, Evangeline’s arms wrapped tight around his neck. Her head rested under his chiseled chin. Her heart hurt with every beat. Was there anything that would ever heal this ache? </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">“I'm so lonely,” she whispered.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

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.</span><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span></strong></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Demona uses her knowledge of the future to manipulate, but sometimes love has a will, and a heart...of its own.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><strong>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.</strong></span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-size: large;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.</strong></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Demona uses her knowledge of the future to manipulate, but sometimes love has a will, and a heart...of its own.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><strong>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 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.</strong></span></div>
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.</strong></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black; font-size: small;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Demona uses her knowledge of the future to manipulate, but sometimes love has a will, and a heart...of its own.</strong></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>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 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.</strong></span></span></div>
<span style="color: black;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.</strong></span></span></div>

<strong><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;"><span style="color: magenta;">MASQUERADE:</span></span> </strong><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: black;">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. </span></strong></span><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: black;">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.</span></strong></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: black;">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. </span></strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><strong><span style="color: black;">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. </span></strong></span></div>

<span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: large;"><span style="color: black; font-size: medium;"><strong>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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Demona uses her knowledge of the future to manipulate, but sometimes love has a will, and a heart...of its own.</strong></span></span></div>

<u><strong><span style="font-size: large;">About the Author:</span></strong></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">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. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: black;">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.<br />
<br />
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.</span></span></div>
