WWY_ebook_1707x2500

After more than a decade chasing shadows, Antonio Santos finally has a lead on the hiding place of The Serpent, the elusive villain who kidnapped him as a child and murdered his mother and uncle. But in order for Tony to get close, he’ll need access to an exclusive private island—where he can only enter with a woman on his arm.
Antonio goes to Stark Security to call in a debt … then walks out with Emma Tucker on his arm. A loner, Antonio isn’t interested in having a partner. He just needs a female. But the striking redhead’s skills soon impress him. More than that, her lush body and beguiling self-assurance tease his senses in unanticipated ways.
A longtime operative with deadly skills, Emma resents being arm candy for someone else’s agenda. But the more she works with Antonio, the more she admires his razor sharp intelligence and formidable prowess. And when the island’s games push them over a sensual cliff, she can’t deny his talents in the bedroom, too.
As passion rises on this island playground full of lust and danger, they both fight the growing attraction between them. But with danger racing toward them from both on and off the island, they soon realize that more than their hearts are at stake. Because unless they can trust and rely on each other, they also risk losing their lives.

Excerpt 
Copyright 2020 @ Lauren Helms
 I tug at my favorite blue T-shirt, slightly embarrassed. I'm normally on my A-game when it comes to women, and this one seems to be besting me. "One track mind it seems," I mutter. "So it seems. By the looks of it, you were doing something you probably shouldn't be doing." She looks almost too innocent to trust, so I can't help flipping the switch on my other skill. A slow grin, one I've been told countless times is sexy as sin, slides across my face. Cocking my head slightly, I wink at her. Lowering my voice, just slightly, I say, "How's your day going?" She stares. Her eyebrows pinch together, and she cocks her head slightly. "Did you just smolder?" My face falls, and I feel ... out of place. Am I in an alternate universe? Since when did my smolder not work on the opposite sex? Not only did it not affect the pixie, but she also called me out on it. Is my smolder broken? My thoughts are interrupted by an amused giggle. "Let me guess, that usually works on the ladies?" "Yeah, I think I might be broken." I can't keep the pout out of my tone. More giggles from Blondie. "How about you try introducing yourself? Maybe I have to get to know you before the smolder is effective on me." Uh, maybe she's right. I'm going to have to work my magic later on some random chick to ensure I haven't lost my smolder mojo. Shaking off the confusion, I get my head back into the game. "Hi, I'm Ryker Stone."

NBTM VBT: For This Knight Only


For This Knight Only
by Barbara Bettis

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Historical Romance

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

He’ll do anything for land, even marry her; she’ll do anything for her people, except marry him.  If only either had a choice.  It’s a marriage only love can save.

Sir Roark will do anything to gain land, even beguile an unwilling lady into marriage. He knows she’s much better off with a man to take control of her besieged castle, to say nothing of her desirable person. But it isn’t long before he discovers that, although her eyes sparkle like sunlight on sea waves, her stubbornness alone could have defeated Saladin.  

Lady Alyss is determined to hold her family’s castle, protect her people, and preserve her freedom— until her brother’s dying wish binds her to a stranger. Still, she’ll allow no rugged, over-confident, appealing knight to usurp her authority, even if she must wed him. Especially since he thinks a lady’s duties begin and end with directing servants. Alyss has a few surprises for her new all-too-tempting lord.

But when a common enemy threatens everything, Roark and Alyss face a startling revelation. Without love, neither land nor freedom matters.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Excerpt:

“Pardon?” Alyss’s voice came in a whisper, but he seemed to hear well enough.

“I said your brother wished us to wed.”

The sound of a million crickets chirruped in her ears. His lips continued to move, but she heard nothing. Of a sudden, her bottom hit stone as she collapsed onto a step, but her eyes saw only him.  

He loomed over her, hands propped on hips, dark hair brushing those broad shoulders. She raised her brows in a level gaze—and inhaled sharply. Hazel eyes, sprinkled with green and gold 
chips, gleamed back. With effort, she recalled his recent words and her thoughts focused. 

She shot to her feet. “You must be mad. I have no intention of wedding a stranger who appears at my gate with some imaginary story of my brother’s last commands. I remind you, sir, you are a guest. In fact, I must ask you to leave. Your behavior is intolerable.”

His big hands closed around her shoulders. They were warm. Firm but gentle. She shook them off. He leaned in.

“I’m afraid I can’t do that, my lady,” he murmured.


About the Author Links:

Award-winning author Barbara Bettis has always loved history and English. As a college freshman, she considered becoming an archeologist until she realized there likely would be bugs and snakes involved. And math. Through careers as a newspaper reporter and editor, then a college journalism and English professor, she’s retained her fascination with history. Give her a research book and a pot of tea, and she’s happy for hours. But what really makes her smile is working on a new story. Now retired, she lives in Missouri where she edits for others and spins her own tales of heroines to die for—and heroes to live for. 



Guest Post:

If you weren’t an author, what other career paths would you have taken?

I often joke that I would have been an archeologist if it weren’t for bugs and snakes—and having to know math.

But that’s not really a joke.  I have always been absolutely fascinated with other times, other places, other peoples. With history and how people lived and what they thought, how they acted. I loved studying about information derived about those early cultures. I loved history. So archeology was a natural.

One early interest lay in Greek mythology and drama and the exciting way present day scholars located history and habits of the people through myths and plays. I was thrilled to study the different layers archeologists uncovered at a site identified as (possibly/probably Troy.) And to learn that one layer evidenced destruction consistent with that related in The Iliad. And… but I’ll stop there.

Then to find one of my professors did his doctoral studies in Egyptology. Now, his lectures were mesmerizing.

Those two civilizations were far from the only fascinating ones. In Ancient Britain…all right, I’ll jump ahead to the high Middle Ages where I’ve set my Knights of Destiny series in which For This Knight Only plays a major part. I love telling the stories of heroes and heroines who struggled and succeeded in those difficult times.

Yes. I would definitely have loved the career of archeology or perhaps anthropology. Trouble is, and I have to be honest with you, I probably didn’t have the patience required to spend years carefully brushing away particles of dirt and sand to make sure my dig didn’t destroy an essential clue about the civilization. 

I wanted to immerse myself in what the meticulous, patient, devoted archeologist uncovered. I wanted to immerse myself in the stories of the people. What were they like? What did they feel? How did they live?

So, obviously, my best bet was to focus on the stories my imagination came up with, and leave the bugs, and snakes, and sand to the professionals who were patient enough to do what I couldn’t.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to that until after I retired, first from a career in journalism, then from full-time teaching of college English and journalism. I loved those careers. I loved the people I met and whose stories I told as a journalist. I loved the students whose talents I did my best to encourage as a teacher.

And now I love writing my stories. Of people in earlier times. Of men and women who lived far differently than we do now, but whose hopes and dreams were the same as ours. And the best thing about being a historical romance novelist is that every story has a good ending. So tomorrow, as archeologists investigate an old castle, they’ll know that whatever else might be found, at least some folks might have had their happily ever afters.
