~~~ Description ~~~

Wood letter turned into art for all book lovers. Small wood letters are embellished with rolled pages from vintage books. Letters are mounted within a cute, square decorative wood frame with customized mat. This listing shows a beautiful lavender print background. Lots of color and design options! There is a satin ribbon hanger attached to the frame so it’s ready to be hung on a wall, or it can sit nicely on a shelf. (Wood frame is 6″ square; letters are slightly more than 2″.)

Each letter is carefully handcrafted and custom made for you. Book pages are affixed to the letter and then a light acrylic coating is applied for long-term durability. You can select any letter of the alphabet and a variety of mat colors (see attached photo). Likewise, the frame can come in an ornate white (cream) or black color. This listing is for one framed letter; however, they look great in groupings (initials, full name, words, etc.).

A Historical Tidbit

Long before Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm, there was a writer by the name of Charles Perrault. He was the author of The Tales of Mother Goose, and the father of fairy tales who started the beloved genre. Perrault lived in seventeenth-century France during the reign of the Sun King, Louis XIV. Louis was a lusty king. And his glittering court was as salacious as it was elegant.

During this most wicked time period, Perrault created his fairy tales from folklore he’d heard many times, stories that have delighted people for centuries: Sleeping Beauty, Little Red Riding Hood, Puss in Boots, and Bluebeard—to name a few.

A MIDNIGHT DANCE is based on his famous fairy tale . . . Cinderella. We don’t know what the original tale was like. Or what specific changes Perrault made to it. But perhaps, just perhaps the original story went something like this . . .

A Midnight Dance

(Fiery Tales series)

Available Oct. 26, 2015

ISBN: 9780988035058

Kindle | B&N | Kobo | iBooks | PRINT VERSION: HERE

Inspired by the tale of Cinderella, a steamy historical romance that offers a glass slipper, a dangerous deception, and an impoverished beauty determined to find her handsome prince…and make him pay.

Born into wealth, Sabine Laurent and her twin sister lived a life of luxury, their father’s prestigious theater frequented by royalty and aristocracy alike. And Sabine dreamed of her own prince charming–the devastatingly handsome Jules de Moutier.

That was before the loss of her sister and her family’s fall from grace–a disaster Sabine blames on the Moutier family. Now, with her father’s death, she’s inherited his sizable debt and the responsibility of caring for his spoiled long-time mistress and her two wastrel daughters. But with the help of Sabine’s eccentric friends–the balance of her father’s acting troupe–she plans to get very close to her old infatuation, seduce the rake–and make away with a fortune.

Resisting Jules’s skillful mouth and tantalizing touch is not as easy as Sabine supposed. And soon she must decide whether her desire for vengeance is greater than her desire for her one and only prince…

Thank you for joining us for this stop of Dianne Duvall’s SHADOWS STRIKE tour.   Dianne is here to tell us the Top 5 reasons we should love Ethan.

Top 5 Reasons to Love Ethan

Thank you so much for joining me today!  I’m happy to be here at Books-n-Kisses, celebrating the release of SHADOWS STRIKE, the sixth book in my Immortal Guardians series.  (If you’re new to the series, don’t worry.  The books can be read as stand alones.  You’ll just be more familiar with the secondary characters if you read them in order.)  Today I thought I would help you get to know Ethan, the hero, by giving you five reasons Heather fell in love with him.

1

He loves strong women.

“You’re beautiful, you’re smart, you think quickly in a crisis, and you kick ass.  Do you have any idea what a desirous combination that is?”

—Ethan, Shadows Strike

2

He has a sense of humor.

He grimaced.  “Hell.  I probably shouldn’t have mentioned my age, should I?”

“Relax.  You don’t look a day over sixty.”

Sixty!

Heather burst into laughter and patted his knee.  “I’m just kidding.  You know you’re hot.”

Ethan groaned.  “You’re evil.”

“And you’re tired.  Why don’t you sleep for a bit.  I signed the confidentiality agreement, so you don’t have to worry about me trying to sneak pictures of your fangs and calling all the news outlets while you rest.”

Smiling, he shook his head.  “And what will you do while I sleep?”

“Find a permanent marker and draw a mustache and bushy eyebrows on your face.”

He laughed.  “I really like you, Heather.”

3

He’s a romantic.

Bending, he retrieved what he hoped she would see as a romantic gesture. When he straightened, he held a newspaper in one hand and a stainless steel coffeepot in the other. He offered her a sheepish smile. “It seemed like a good idea at the time.”

Heather bit her lip. And he did think he saw a little Aww, how sweet enter her pretty brown eyes.

Stepping closer, he leaned against the doorframe opposite her. “I’m afraid I don’t really know how to do this.”

He heard her heartbeat pick up. “Do what?”

“Date. I haven’t tried to court a woman in about a century. I don’t know how to get things going and can’t ask Ed or he’ll never let me live it down.” Damned if he didn’t feel like a teenager with his first crush.

Her throat moved in a swallow. “You want to date me?”

“If dating you means spending lots of time with you, getting to know you, and exploring every inch of your delectable body as soon as you’re ready to take things further, then yes. I really want to date you.” He held up his goodies. “I remembered your neighbor with the newspaper analogy and . . .” He released a rueful chuckle. “As I said, I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t even like coffee. I just liked the idea of it and wanted to see you again.”

“Oh, Ethan. It’s perfect.”

4

He’s honest.

“You can learn a lot about a person from the way he or she faces death.”

A groan escaped her. “I don’t even want to know what you learned about me.” She had shaken in her boots during every skirmish.

“Are you kidding? I learned that you’re brave as hell. A true warrior who—”

She snorted. “I babbled like a maniac the night we met and tried to convince myself I was still asleep.”

“Hell, that’s better than screaming and running away or crapping your pants.”

Another burst of laughter escaped her.

5

He’s tall, dark, and handsome.

Ethan’s skin no longer bore ruby stains. His short black hair was wet and slicked back from a face Heather found even more handsome than she had anticipated. Heavy stubble dusted a strong jaw. His straight nose fit his face perfectly. Dark brows hovered above pretty brown eyes that no longer glowed with that peculiar iridescence.

The clothing that adorned his large form was fresh and clean, if a little rumpled. A tight black T-shirt clung to broad shoulders, a muscular chest, and biceps the size of freaking bowling balls. The man worked out. His black cargo pants hugged a narrow waist and thighs that also bulged with muscle.

When she finally managed to drag her gaze back up to his face, Heather felt her heart turn over at the boyish grin he sent her.

The Immortal Guardians protect the innocent in secret. Sometimes the secret gets out…

U.S. law enforcement agent Heather Lane can read minds. But not the future. The dream of battle and blood that recurs every night must be a fluke, some obscure terror from her own mind. What its significance might be, she can’t guess: an attack from seven psychotic vampires at once, only separated from nightmare by an eighth very different immortal. A handsome, brave man fighting at her side, a man she misses when she wakes.

Then the dream comes true. Heather is flung into a war between predators and protectors of humanity, the man from her dreams beside her again. Except now that she’s awake, she isn’t sure she can trust Ethan, or the shadow organization he represents. The U.S. military doesn’t trust either of them. But against an onslaught of evil like the one that’s coming, it will take everything they have just to survive…

Change is coming… 
Maverick Beckett took his much needed annual vacation up to Washington State to relax with his old friends from his years in the Corps. He also had every intention of extinguishing the fires that arose between him and a certain local woman he couldn’t get out of his mind until the unthinkable happened.

Nothing is as it seems… 
Henley Varano loved the simple anonymous life that her remote hometown provided. She’d had the wealthy existence of a fashion model and the fame that came with it only to find it lonelier than she could have ever imagined. Unfortunately, men only saw the fictitious person she appeared to be in the magazines and not the real woman she was—even the one man she’s wanted for years.

Surviving is just the beginning… 
An apocalyptic event changes the course of their lives when the massive Yellowstone Caldera erupts. Panic ensues among the small town, causing Mav and Henley to witness the best and worst of humanity. They must work as a team to create a new existence before the fallout of harsh and fiery elements overtakes their safe haven. Along the way, they might just find that they need each other more than ever.
