KC Cullen TO DANCE WITH ANGELS Release Blitz

KC Cullen has released her debut novel, To Dance With Angels. Continue for a sexy excerpt and enter the international giveaway.

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release date: February 28th 2017

Purchase: Amazon

Synopsis:



Since she was a little girl, Kyra Byrne sacrificed everything for her dream to be a prima ballerina, braving broken toes and scheming rivals. Now the dream is finally within reach: she’s a soloist at a prestigious Boston company, her tumultuous past safely behind her.



But all that is put at risk when the company brings in a new choreographer, the smoldering Damien Delacroix with the sexy accent, rebellious tattoos, rippling abs, and scandalous reputation, a man who’s ruined as many careers as he’s built up. And the moment he walks into the studio, Damien only has eyes for Kyra.

Against the wishes of everyone from Kyra’s boss to the drama-queen prima, he casts Kyra as the lead in his new ballet. This could be the break she needed so badly—or it could be her ruin when her past begins to resurface in unpredictable ways. As Damien and Kyra’s chemistry sizzles on and off the stage, she realizes she’s in too deep. Kyra never dreamed of risking everything she worked so hard for, everything she painstakingly built—all for a man. But with the premiere looming and with the other dancers gunning for her downfall, she could lose more than her heart. 

We’re dancing an intricate pas de deux:
I trust him to lift me up to the heavens and drop me and catch me and lower me
down, easy and smooth as an autumn leaf in the wind. It’s thrilling to trust
him. My thighs quiver and part as his fingertips slip under the hem of my
dress, and I remember once again, with sudden shocking clarity, that I’m not
wearing underwear.

He gives a half-sigh, half-groan into my
mouth as his fingers run up my inner thigh. Electricity travels in their wake.

My thighs snap closed as if on command,
trapping his hand between them. I close my mouth, catching his lower lip with
my teeth. “No,” I groan into his kiss. He grasps my thigh, his grip every bit
as strong as when he made me soar under the studio ceiling. It makes me think
of all the other ways he can make me soar—with those hands, with those lips and
tongue, with the thing straining at the zipper of his jeans. I had
underestimated the strength humming within him, an electric storm, a natural
disaster that nothing can stop. A primal force. This is what makes his dancing
so compelling, his choreography so soul-grinding. He pushes my legs apart again
and his hand dives further down until his fingertips reach the spot where my
thigh meets my crotch. Only a quarter of an inch higher, and—

I pull away, twisting out of his embrace.
I’m panting and my heart thunders; there’s another thundering pulse between my
legs. I’ve never wanted anyone this badly.

Book Description Bleeding Hearts by Ash Krafton

Sophie Galen is an advice columnist whose work leaves her neck-deep in other people's problems. Thanks to her compassion, her gut instinct, and her magnetic charm, Sophie really knows how to attract little black clouds.

Marek Thurzo is no little black cloud; he's a maelstrom. Marek is Demivampire, a race with the potential to evolve into vampire. A warrior who's taken his share of spiritual damage, he hovers dangerously close to destruction.

He seeks salvation. She's driven to save him. But what if he can't be saved?

Sympathy for his plight becomes true empathy as Sophie's hidden nature is revealed. Marek suspects she may be one of the Sophia, oracle and redemption of the damned Demivampire. She alone can turn back the evolutionary clock.

All she needs is the courage to face her fears. Can she save him from Falling?

The
following is an excerpt from BLEEDING HEARTS Demimonde Book 1 by Ash Krafton

In the great
hall housing the Egyptian exhibitions, I immediately noted the change in the
atmosphere. The room was cool and dry, its climate controlled to mimic the conditions
in which the relics had existed in their native land.

The entire room
had been designed to resemble an Old Kingdom temple. The main lights were
dimmed while strategically-placed spotlights emphasized massive columns and
magnificent wall carvings like sunbeams through temple windows.

I scanned the
room. No other tourists. Even better. I meandered, enjoying the rare
opportunity to linger.

Craning my neck,
I ran my gaze up each of the columns, reading the images, admiring the palm
leaves carved at the tops like great stone trees. Eyes toward the ceilings, I
turned slowly around, admiring the handiwork of the ancient artists.

What was it like
to live in those lands and those times? Could an ancient version of my spirit
have been there, stepping barefoot and silently through a sandy temple like
this one?

Lost in
contemplation, I was completely unprepared for the shock of smacking into
someone, bumping him hard enough to lose my balance. I'd have fallen had he not
caught my arm. Wide-eyed with consternation, I stammered an apology to the
handsome but serious-faced gentleman.

"You are
not hurt, I hope?" His voice, deep and smooth, sent shivers marching down
my neck, between my shoulders, down my spine.

"I'm
okay." I shook my head, too shy to make direct eye contact, wishing I'd
checked my hair and lipstick before coming in. "I'm far too adept at being
inept."

He flashed a
grin and I caught a glimpse of nice white teeth. "Temples are places for
spiritual reflection. It is forgivable if your vision was turned inward, rather
than toward where you were walking."

His expression
softened by amusement, he tilted his head toward the pillars. "Majestic,
aren't they?"

I stole another
glance at him—black hair smoothed back into a discreet tail, clear light skin
framed by long sideburns, strong jaw culminating in a square, cleft chin. Like
the other items in the museum, something about him made me want to look closer,
inspect each detail.

A subtle flush
warmed my cheeks and ears so I quickly turned back to the heights of the
exhibition. Murmuring a sound of agreement, I circled the column, stepping a
few feet away so I could see both him and the stone. "Do you visit this
museum often?"

Furtive glances
allowed me to take in more of his appearance a tiny section at a time. Clothing
dark as his hair. Long blazer, something in between a suit coat and an
overcoat. In one hand he carried a bound book and fountain pen, as if he'd been
making notes.

His gaze was
calm and steady and entirely on me. Taking a deep breath I permitted the
contact of the direct look. My boldness was well-rewarded. His Paul Newman lips
brought to mind the sculptured busts on display in the Greco-Roman Quarters and
he wore a stern expression that cast a veil of hardness upon his features,
enhancing the impression he'd been carved from marble.

Except for his
eyes. The Roman busts bore eyes that were blank and white but this man's eyes
were alive with bright green color. Like gemstones, they glittered and drew my
gaze.

"No,
actually," he said. "My first time here. Although, I admit, I'm drawn
to places like this." His voice made music of the words—deep bass notes
and soothing rhythm.

"Ah!"
I said. "A man after my own heart." His left eyebrow arched so
sharply I thought it might disappear into his hairline and I hurriedly
continued. "Are you a professor?"

"No,
nothing like that. I do studying of my own, it's not a living. It's more of a
hobby. Personal research, of sorts."

"Studying
past times is one of my pastimes. It's my preferred form of
entertainment."

"Mmm."
Eyebrow cocked again, he cast a disapproving look at me and swept his hand
around the contrived temple. "Would the gods be pleased to know they are
reduced to the level of entertainment?"

"I hope
so." I kept my tone light. Considering the seriousness of his expression,
I didn't want to accidentally insult him. "Otherwise, they'd have to be
content with staying dead, right?"

His gaze swept
over me and I shivered again as if the touch had been tangible, a brush of
fingertips against my cheek.

"Well, I'll
leave you to your worship. I mean, your wanderings." He gave me a
conspirator's wink. "Unless..."

He hesitated,
with a quiet clearing of throat as he tucked his notebook and pen into an
inside pocket. "You wouldn't mind a companion? Sometimes one sees things
differently when seeing through another's eyes. I would appreciate a new
perspective."

I mulled it
over, listening to the rain spattering the windows and distant voices echoing
faintly from other rooms. Although I'd looked forward to a quiet afternoon, it
might be nice to spend it with someone who seemed to share my interests. He
certainly was attractive, and his pleasant voice intrigued me.

I realized I'd
become used to living inside a shell. This man made me want to step outside for
once.

"I'd like
that." I smiled at his pleased expression. "I'm Sophie, by the
way." I stuck out my hand in introduction.

Instead of
shaking my hand, he bent his head over it and pressed polite lips to the backs
of my fingers. The quaint gesture would have seemed strange and out of place
had we been elsewhere. "I am Marek. Pleased to make your
acquaintance."

Fingers tingling
from the unexpected kiss, I fought the urge to curtsy. "Well, Marek. Lead
me into the past."

His almost-smile
sent a thrill down the back of my neck. "That's exactly the sort of thing
I'd hoped you say. Shall we?"

He turned on his
heel and swept out a hand with a slight bow, indicating the archway to another
exhibit. For the first time since I'd been coming to this museum, I wondered
what I'd see on the other side, and was surprised to realize I wasn't afraid to
find out.

Condemned to repeat the sins of the past…



Faye thought losing her parents was the most devastating thing to happen to her, but she was wrong. Her uncle’s scandalous revelation has sent her into a tailspin, leaving her questioning her entire existence.



Everything she believed is built on a lie.



And the one person she shares a passionate, soul-deep connection with can’t be there for her.



Faye and Ky can’t be together. It’s forbidden. Though they are determined to avoid replicating their parents’ mistakes, caving to their feelings is as tempting as the apple in the Garden of Eden.



Ky had sworn off girls until Faye bulldozed her way into his life. Now, she’s his whole world, and their forced separation is crushing him. Once his manipulative ex resurfaces—hellbent on ruining the Kennedys—he’ll do whatever it takes to protect his loved ones including turning his back on the one person he can’t live without.



Then tragedy strikes and all bets are off.



But is it too late?



When Faye needs him and he isn’t there for her, guilt and hurt threaten to obliterate their love. As they start to rebuild their fractured hearts, another sordid family secret is uncovered, and Faye worries Ky may be lost to her forever.



But can you truly lose someone if they don’t want to be found?

Losing Kyler Excerpt:

In this moment, I hate my mother, and I’m mad as all hell that she isn’t here for me to yell at. To demand she tell me the Goddamned truth and explain why she thought it was such a good idea to lie about virtually every facet of my life. My hands ball into fists at my sides, and I’m barely holding it together.

“I also discovered that he was working for a firm in Belfast at the time your mother told you she met him. He wasn’t working locally, Faye. There’s no way Saoirse could’ve met him in the way she described to you.”

Liar! How could she do this to me!

I don’t even know who I am anymore, and every memory I have of my parents is tarnished by the knowledge that it was a fabrication. That I was being lied to every single day of my life.

Why? Were they ever planning on telling me the truth?

Hopping up, enraged and upset, and struggling with a million other emotions, I sweep the contents of my dresser clear across the floor. Picking up the stool, I fling it across the room, watching as it smashes against the wall, the sounds of splintering wood adding to James’s shocked gasps. Tears erupt from my eyes, and my cries fill the room as I slump to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably into my hands.

Ky kneels down, gently wrapping his arms around me from behind. His limbs are tense, his arms a little stiff, and I feel it too—the lure of his warmth and the call of his body battling against what we’ve been told, forcing us to maintain a certain distance.
“Kyler.” James’s voice contains clear warning.

“Shut up, Dad. She needs me, and I’m only comforting her. You’re the one who fucked up here, not us. And you’re a damn hypocrite to criticize us after all you’ve done.”

Ky’s statement is paradoxical in part, because the truth is more complex than that. Is James the hypocrite or are we? I don’t know what to think anymore. I massage my temples, digging my fingers into my skin with brutal intensity, welcoming the pressure. What is right and what is wrong? I’m not sure I know anymore, and my jumbled brain is incapable of constructing logical thought patterns.

SYNOPSIS: 

Experience the world’s most enchanting and timeless love story—retold with a dark and realistic twist.

A BEAST LIVING IN THE SHADOW OF HIS PAST

Reclusive and severely scarred Prince Adam Delacroix has remained hidden inside a secluded, decrepit castle ever since he witnessed his family’s brutal massacre. Cloaked in shadow, with only the lamentations of past ghosts for company, he has abandoned all hope, allowing the world to believe he died on that tragic eve twenty-five years ago.

A BEAUTY IN PURSUIT OF A BETTER FUTURE

Caught in a fierce snowstorm, beautiful and strong-willed Isabelle Rose seeks shelter at a castle—unaware that its beastly and disfigured master is much more than he appears to be. When he imprisons her gravely ill and blind father, she bravely offers herself in his place.

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

Stripped of his emotional defenses, Adam’s humanity reawakens as he encounters a kindred soul in Isabelle. Together they will wade through darkness and discover beauty and passion in the most unlikely of places. But when a monster from Isabelle’s former life threatens their new love, Demrov’s forgotten prince must emerge from his shadows and face the world once more…

Perfect for fans of Beauty and the Beast and The Phantom of the Opera,Beauty of the Beast brings a familiar and well-loved fairy tale to life with a rich setting in the kingdom of Demrov and a captivating, Gothic voice.

Content Warning: This is an edgy retelling of the classic fairy tale. Due to strong sexual content, profanity, and dark subject matter, including an instance of sexual assault committed by the villain, Beauty of the Beast is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

EXCERPT:

“If I could…” he whispered. “If I could, I’d hold him tight and never let him go.”

A moment passed between us. A reminder of what we couldn’t have.

“Callista,” he said gently. “Tell him I said hi. Please.”

I chewed the inside of my cheek, but I nodded.

“Callista,” he said, his voice low. “Callista, I’m so sorr—”

I awoke with a gasp on the cot. I grimaced, feeling sore in unfamiliar spots. Paul stirred on his bed, and I quietly laid my head on the thin mattress. I stroked a hand along his arm, watching every bit of him.

My son.

I leaned in to whisper into his ear. I might have been angry at Plutus for everything, but I did know that there were things beyond our control. I understood it, but I didn’t have to like it or accept it. I did decide to give Plutus this peace offering, to let him know that I’d be okay, at least for now. And I wanted to assure Paul, even if it was just his subconscious, that somewhere, his father was thinking about him, that he was worried about him.

“Daddy says hi.”

LANI’S READING LIST

Lani Ito, the heroine of THE PARTNERSHIP (Extra Credit #1) by Charlotte Penn Clark, is a voracious reader and a gifted writer of dance criticism…. Here are ten of her favorite books! Enjoy!

• Zora Neale Hurston’s Their Eyes Were Watching God is an amazing coming of age story that meant a lot to Lani.

• Natalie Goldberg’s Writing Down the Bones offers great strategies for dealing with writer’s block.

• The Pocket Pena Chodron— because Buddhist nuns know how to stay calm.

• Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre, where the pushover pushes back!

• F. Scott Fitzgerald’s Great Gatsby for the sheer beauty of the prose, and because the movie is gorgeous too.

• The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer is a classic romance with another irresistible cranky hero… (and it’s even on Kindle Unlimited!).

• To learn the craft of arts criticism you can’t do better than Pauline Kael, who makes it okay to have (and defend) a strong opinion.

• For ballet buffs and New Yorkers, George Balanchine and his New York City Ballet set a high bar(re!).

• Lani is right: Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own is a classic AND a short easy read.

• And finally, spoiler alert! By the end of the series Lani will make use of Molly Bloom’s famous last words in James Joyce’s Ulysses… wait and see!

EXCERPT:

He takes a seat at the bar and stares at me with a myriad of emotions on his face. I can’t place them because I don’t know why they’re there. But I’ve felt a few. Sadness isn’t simply one emotion. It’s too many all at once.

“I’m sorry about that. You just got a front row seat to the end of my relationship and you shouldn’t have.”

I peek at him. “Is she your girlfriend?”

“Since freshman year of college.” He looks at the worn bar top for an uncomfortable second, and then the words seem to fall out of him in one heartbroken whisper. “I don’t know what to do.”

I look down too, not knowing what to say. Having no relationship to speak of, I don’t know what he’s going through.

He exhales deeply and stands. “I’d better get back.” He smiles weakly, leaving me at the bar.

“Who is that?” Tamryn asks, joining me as I watch him leave.

“Mr. Ean. He’s a teacher at my school.”

Her eyes widen. “He’s so young.”

“He’s twenty-four.”

“Huh. He’s so hot,” she murmurs, dumbfounded.

I smile. “He is kind of good-looking.”

“Kind of?” she scoffs. “Who’s he with?”

“His girlfriend.”

“Oh. Of course, he’s taken. Too old for you and taken for me. We can’t catch a break, can we?” She bumps my shoulder. “Get back to work, slacker.”

He wasn’t that much older than me. I do the math, shocked to find maybe six years is a stretch. Coupled with the fact that he’s a teacher, and the man is completely off-limits.

Author Bio:

When I walk into a book store I feel at home. When I smell the pages of a brand new book things make sense. When I read I am who I always wanted to be. I read to escape and I write so others can as well. My family, my actress dog Bella, coffee, and a steamy love story are a few of my most precious things.
