Stefan is a Native American vampire, former assassin for the Vampire Council. In a twist of fate, he now DJ’s the midnight shift for a small radio station in Whitefish, Montana, on the edge of Glacier National Park where his secret is safe until...

 

Born in Ireland, Brandy now works as a park ranger and trail guide in the park. During a full moon, Stefan and Brandy’s paths cross in a near physical collision on a trail. Their attraction is immediate and undeniable, almost as if fate demanded it.

 

Their union was foretold long ago in Irish folk tales where vampires and gryphons, warlocks and demons, witches and faeries must work together for the good of man and magic kind. Is a trip to Ireland the key to unraveling secrets and returning the magic? And even more importantly, will their love survive the trip?

 

Excerpt:

 

Brandy slept in Stefan’s arms while he watched the lace curtains flutter as the ocean breeze, heavy with brine, wafted through the window, open just a crack. A white mist swirled into the quiet room through the opening. It grew thicker and began to take shape settling into the antique rocking chair in the far corner of their cozy room. A man with long flowing hair the color of straw, dressed in jeans and a shimmering multicolored sweater, now sat in the rocking chair, left boot propped over on his right knee, watching Stefan with genuine interest.

 

Stefan’s body stiffened, his fangs pierced his gums as he shifted Brandy to a more secure position, though he sensed no threat. Too many stories around the fire?

 

Undisturbed, the apparition’s lips twitched. “So you’re the súmair fala that stole our Brandy’s heart. An interesting turn of events this is.” He mused nodding his head toward the window and pointing his finger toward Stefan, then to the outside. As quickly as he’d appeared, he was gone, leaving only a light mist floating across the floor.

 

Blinking his eyes, Stefan slowly looked around the room. What the hell was that? I wasn’t asleep so it couldn’t be a dream. Stealthily, he slid out of bed without disturbing Brandy. He yanked on jeans, pulled an ivory cable knit sweater over his head, and grabbed his boots as he padded silently down the stairs out of the house. The storm had passed, leaving a light dusting of snow covering the ground. Behind the light mist, a nearly full moon hung among the twinkling stars across the frosty dark sky. For a moment, he stilled listening as the waves crashed against the shore off in the distance.

 

Glancing uneasily around the area in front of the house and toward steep cliffs shrouded in a settling mist, he saw nothing. Following the trail leading to the cliffs and ultimately down to the beach, he sprinted across the rocky terrain. He stopped once and glanced over his shoulder to make sure he’d closed the front door. Turning back around Stefan skidded to a halt damn near crashing into the aberration. “Who are you?” Stefan demanded.

 

In an amused voice the aberration said, “I’m Tiarnan, King of the warrior faeries, of course.”

 

“Sure you are and I’m the King of England.” Stefan snapped.

 

Tiarnan chuckled. “To be sure, there was a King of England, but you’re not him and the Queen now sits upon that throne.”

 

“Ha...Ha... now who are you really and what do you want with me?”

 

Patiently he repeated, “I am Tiarnan, King of Faeries. My sidhe is here in about under the hills of green. Haven’t you heard the music floating on the evening breeze?”

 

“Your what?” This was just too much, he shook his head in amazement as they continued walking along the cliffs, winding their way down toward the beach.

 

“Me sidhe, me palace, the faeries live under the hills here and about. You listened to your girl’s telling of the tales this evening?” He waved his hand as if to dismiss the situation. “No matter. I’m here because centuries ago a Book of Shadows was entrusted to me wife and me for safe keeping. It be in my possession, but I’ve no desire to deal with the ill-tempered warlock. Besides he must hold only one Book. ‘Tis you and Brandy who control the destiny of man and magic kind. Sorry I am to lie this at your feet, but it’s what I know.”

Author Biography:

 

Former paralegal, now a best-selling author, Tena Stetler has an over-active imagination. She writes award-winning paranormal romance novels and is working on a cozy mystery or two. Her first vampire romance was written as a tween, to the chagrin of her mother and the delight of her friends. Colorado is home; shared with her husband, a brilliant Chow, a spoiled parrot and a forty-five-year-old box turtle.

 

With the Rocky Mountains outside her window, she sits at her computer surrounded by witches, shapeshifters, demons, faeries, and gryphons, with a Navy SEAL or two mixed in telling her their tales. Her books tell stories of magical kick-ass women and mystical alpha males that dare to love them. Well, okay there are a few companion animals to round out the tales. Travel and adventure flourish in her novels. Any summer evening, you can find her curled up in front of a crackling fire with a good book, a glass of raspberry iced tea and a bowl of popcorn.
