The first in a trilogy

I know, it’s not romance, though there are some romantic elements in this book, but it is an ensemble cast, and the story stretches world-wide. I’m excited for this story, I can’t get it out of my head. Here is a little about it.

Ancients Awaken
Diamora Cycle Book 1

Days flow together deep under the ice of Antarctica. Arturo Davini’s expectations were low until luck or fate sent him through one of the many gateways found across the world. He fell into another place and came back forever changed—setting off a chain of events that spirals dangerously toward the end.

Running from her former employer, Danae Lee searched for answers to the mysterious symbol and the room beyond. Too many too precise to be coincidence or hoax, the rune has been photographed across the world in ancient ruins both on land and under the ocean. Few believe her findings, but there is more to these places. She plans to prove it. A former park ranger has something to show her that may tie the pieces together.

Liam Prescott works with Danae’s parents in a ruined temple in Peru. While studying the ancient paintings, the Lee’s disappear into a light coming from the small chamber beyond the symbol. Liam must find Danae. Only together will they be able to find her parents. As long as his own father doesn’t get in the way.

An ancient power wants to control the outcome of humanity, and only one thing stands between that power and complete domination.

I finally have all the links for Better Than Luck which means it’s up at all the retailers. This is book 12 in Others of Edenton and is is Danika and Adam’s story. They’ve been together and happy for years, but their status quo is about to change.

Never
trust luck.

That
was Danika’s motto. Her father is a full-fledged leprechaun. No, not the short,
bearded men hiding a pot of gold. He’s Fae and has a nasty habit of stealing
luck. After witnessing several tragedies caused by her self-centered father,
she left home, driving as far as she could. Fate put her in Adam’s path. He was
human, and being only half-Fae she was effectively mortal and had always
planned to stay that way.

Eighteen
years later and she’s still in love. Learning the leukemia she had as a child
is back throws her happy life in turmoil.

Adam
made a vow. One he made when he was young, dumb, and had recently witnessed
werewolves behaving badly. They would live and love as mortals. Now, he would
do anything to keep Danika at his side. He just has to convince her to change
her mind for their little family.

But her supposedly dead father is back and blames Danika for all the tragedy that always follows him. He would love to drain every ounce of luck from his ungrateful daughter.

I’m so excited to announce Shattered Reality is live. This is book five in Branches of Emrys, and is Jay’s story, and Skylar, who you may remember from Others of Seattle.

Reality is so
fragile.

When Skylar’s
boyfriend came to her with crazy and hateful theories about her friends, she
had to make a choice—and it wasn’t Tyler. He claimed they were monsters and
using dark magic. Skyler assumed he’d lost his mind, so she walked away.

Turns out Tyler was
half right

Jay couldn’t stand
by when two werewolves rushed into a coffee shop downtown and shifted,
attacking the humans inside. Not fast enough to save the man, he did kill the
beasts before they could end the woman’s life. It took one look to realize she
was the one he’d been searching for.

Time to accept her
new reality.

Tyler was wrong.
Skylar’s friends weren’t exactly human, but a so-called monster saved her life.
They may be different, but there was nothing evil about them. Now a werewolf
herself, Skylar has to accept her new strength. But the more she learns, the
more danger she’s in.

Words can freeze or
burn, as well as mend.

Ready to give up on
love, Lonny stuck around to ensure Lana’s safety at the request of an old
friend. But every day is a painful reminder she doesn’t want to love a Fae.

The words of her
father left Lana doubting herself. 
Finally free of his opinion, she realizes she wants Lonny in her life.
But someone will stop at nothing to claim her for his own agenda.

A series of attacks
turns the tables. Now it’s her turn to chase Lonny while uncovering secrets
buried in her past. As they grow closer, she learns who she is and how wrong
she was, but the threat hasn’t ended.

black and white fashion portrait of beautiful tender couple

Hello everyone,

I’ve been quiet, I’m sorry. It was a crazy summer, and an even crazier beginning of the school year. My boy’s marching band is far more active mine was.

But I have great news. Woven Fates, book 11 in Others of Edenton is live. It’s up on Amazon, Nook, and Googleplay so far. It should hit iBooks and Kobo soon, but I can’t say when. I published everywhere at the same tiime.

This is Mark and Gina’s story. I’m sure some of you were wondering if I was going to tell their story after setting it up in Blissful Agony. What happened in Darkness Binds needed to happen before I came back to them though, so there you go.

I’ll leave you with some information for the book.

 

Woven Fates
Others of Edenton Book 11

 

No matter how far you run, the past always catches up.

Mark Wellings started life as a witch, but he’d locked the memories away when he became a werewolf and gave up his magic. Now nightmares remind him of the hell he escaped.

Gina Somerset cannot remember the tragic circumstances that led to her becoming a werewolf. Mark eased a deep fear from the first time they made eye contact. Now she wants to help him face his own dark past.

Something evil lingers and Mark senses the danger. Everything changes in one fateful moment when Gina is captured by vampires.

One of the witches abducted recognize Mark and tells the remaining members of his old coven. What brings Mark and Gina closer together may tear them apart as Mark’s past catches up.

Title: The Long Shot
Author: Brandy L. Rivers
Genre: MM Romance
Publication Date: July 27th, 2018

Hosted by: Lady Amber’s Reviews & PR
 

Blurb:
One look and he knew it was a long shot.

Ryan King is a movie star with a secret. Women fall at his feet for a chance, but that’s never been what he wanted. Broken hearted after helping his closest friend claim the love of his life, Ryan is searching for a distraction. One who can keep his secret.

Shannon O’Neil’s life has changed drastically in the last few years. He served as a Navy SEAL to escape his father’s scrutiny, but an injury forced him to reevaluate his choices. Now he runs a successful security firm. One that recently took a consulting job to train a group of actors for an upcoming movie.

The attraction is immediate but long-distance relationships have never worked for either. Still, they want to try. Navigating through their own family drama, and Ryan’s shooting schedule may prove too much of a burden.

Hey everyone,

The Long Shot is coming July 27th. Remember Ryan King from The Callback? This is his story, and he has a secret.

One look and he knew it was a long shot.

Ryan King is a movie star with a secret. Women fall at his feet for a chance, but that’s never been what he wanted. Broken hearted after helping his closest friend claim the love of his life, Ryan is searching for a distraction. One who can keep his secret.

Shannon O’Neil’s life has changed drastically in the last few years. He served as a Navy SEAL to escape his father’s scrutiny, but an injury forced him to reevaluate his choices. Now he runs a successful security firm. One that recently took a consulting job to train a group of actors for an upcoming movie.

The attraction is immediate but long distance relationships have never worked for either. Still, they want to try. Navigating through their own family drama, and Ryan’s shooting schedule may prove too much of a burden.

If you haven’t guessed, this story features two men falling in love. If you read Falling Star, you already knew that though. This is just their start. Later this year, I’ll write the next part of their story, that takes place after or around the end of Falling Star.

Interested? You can preorder.

Hey everyone, I’ve changed my free ebooks around. You can find Sleepwalker, the first in Branches of Emrys free. And New Beginnings, the prequel to Others of Edenton is now free. Heart on Fire is still free. The other went back to normal.

Sleepwalker

Branches of Emrys #1

He haunted her dreams.

Savon Roantree loved and lost the man she planned to marry.  Nathan Taggert disappeared, taking her heart with him and her world fell apart. His father refused to tell her what happened to Nate. Broken-hearted she left, planning to never return to Silvertail Ridge and tried to move on.

After a bad break-up, she finally gives in to her brother’s pleas to move back home. She never expected Nate was living next door once more.

Nothing changed for Nate, not when it came to Savon.

A tragic accident tore them apart. By the time he recovered, she was gone. When his father threatened to kill Savon if he ever went to her, he did the only thing he could—followed in her dreams. No matter how hard he tried to reach her, she always ran. She even ignored his best friend, her own brother.

Twelve years later, he finally has a chance to right all the wrongs—if she’ll listen.

Silvertail Ridge has changed since they were kids. Both families have been pulled into an ancient battle.

Together they may stand a chance.

New Beginnings

Others of Edenton Prequel

Sometimes to move forward you need to seek a new beginning.

As a psychic, Jess Abrams knew pack life would fall into a downward spiral if she stayed after a drunken mistake. Her alpha was never going to sell her the bar she’d managed for years, and sleeping with him only ensured he would treat her worse. Taking life by the reins, she decides on a fresh start.

Edenton’s Alpha is more than happy to sell the vacant bar to the new werewolf. Years ago Slater lost his first mate. Now he avoids dating his wolves to prevent possible heartache.

Their attraction is unexpected and the last thing either wants. Resisting their obvious connection may prove impossible.

There’s a problem. Someone is plotting against Slater, wanting to take the pack for himself. He’ll use anything, or anyone, to achieve his goal.

But it’s not exactly what she gets. Six years later, she’s a happy high school teacher with a beautiful daughter she will always Cherish.

No regrets.

Can they survive the truth?

Hey everyone, I hope you’re as excited as I am. I love Jacinda and Chatan. If you haven’t read Finding Hawk, you may want to before Chasing Dove. This is the first time I haven’t written a book to mostly stand alone, but so much happens I couldn’t cram it into one. I’m sorry, I couldn’t. On the plus side, you haven’t waited long. Only two months between the two releases.  I hope you enjoy the resolution in Chasing Dove as much as I had writing it.

They will be in more Branches of Emrys books as they have a big role to play in what’s coming. But I can’t give any of that away.

 

Finding Hawk

Branches of Emrys #3

Secrets buried in the past will guide the way.

After solving the riddles of her father’s journal, Jacinda has finally found what she was looking for—and something she didn’t expect—love. With nightmares plaguing her, she runs away to protect the man who claimed her heart.

Unable to let her go, Chatan follows Jacinda, determined to prove she needs help. And not just his. She has more family than she believes, and they have the means and willingness to help stop Thanatos.

Chatan has to convince her running isn’t the answer while uncovering the deep secrets of the relics she’s found, and how she can use them to stop Thanatos.

To finally free her from the past, they will have to discover dark pieces of their families’ history. Their destiny is entwined with a prophecy, an ancient war, and each other. What side will they choose?

Before I get back to Branches of Emry’s I’m finally working on Ryan King’s book, the Long Shot. If you read the Callback, you met Ryan. If you met Falling Star you met Ryan and Shannon O’Neil. This is their story, from the beginning. I love them. I’ll have a blurb and cover for you soon.

If you want to read the first in the Love Behind the series, you can check out the Callback.

The Callback
Love Behind the Scenes #1

Actors are always waiting for the callback.

Leona Shay isn’t looking for love. Having just gone through a divorce from her high school sweetheart, her world is in upheaval. And things are about to get even crazier after selling the movie rights to her series.

Rising movie star, Luke Chance, could have anyone he wants, but he wants an author who may not be ready for him or anything that comes with being with him.

Luke wants a role in the movie. Leona can’t see him as the lead, not that she has a say in the cast. Their first encounter may be rocky, but he’s not going to let her slip away.

Trust doesn’t come easy for Leona. Tabloids and distance may send her running. How far is Luke willing to chase?

The Long Shot will come out in July.

 

Hey everyone, I’m excited to announce Finding Hawk is live everywhere. You can find your copy at all the ebook retailers. I’ll be making the paperback soon, for that and Darkness Binds. I really should have done that sooner. This is the third book in the Branches of Emrys, and the fourth will be coming out in May.
