Welcome, Lisa!

Angels and Demons

Hello and thank you to Lisa at The Novel Approach for hosting me today.

Although I am better known for my MM true mate paranormal series such as the Cloverleah Pack, Stockton Wolves, the Alpha and Omega series and Bound and Bonded, the Balance series was written for me personally.

I have never been a believer of hell as described in the Old Testament. I have a far more eclectic belief system. But in society since the beginning of time, angels and demons have been personified as the true embodiment of good and evil. Some time ago, I started to think about why did we have both elements in our folklore – why do we always have good and evil?

It struck me that the answer was balance. We see the need for balance in nature and what happens when that’s disrupted in any way. We feel the need for it in our own lives; it’s impossible to be Pollyanna all the time but at the same time giving into our anger every minute of every day is draining and impossible as well.

So, we strive for a balanced life – work and family, money, relationships – everything revolves around balance.  The Balance series takes that idea one step further – what if balance was required between good and evil to keep the entire world alive?

Blurb: King Zagan, Commander of the legions of the damned and one of the higher echelon in the Underworld, never fancied a mate. Demons weren’t that way inclined. But when Botis met the Archangel Raziel and their relationship actually worked, Zagan was intrigued. Of course, it wasn’t as though he planned on claiming anyone, but tangling in the sheets with a forbidden angel was a vice he could and would enjoy. Or so he thought.

Anael has always considered himself the annoying younger brother of angels like Raziel. As the angel of love, passion and sexuality, he could see love connections that others couldn’t. When he saw his connection with Zagan he was so excited. Not only was he part of the big “Mating Scheme” devised by Head Office, but he snagged King Zagan, the secret crush he’s had for centuries. Now if only things could go right for them both.

A marriage proposal from Lady Zoltus is just the first sign of trouble for the new couple. When Lucifer sticks his nose in and detains Zagan in the Underworld, leaving Anael to roam earth alone, more secrets are uncovered. After a confrontation Anael starts to question if anything he does is right. Will these two ever find their HEA?

This book is a continuation of the Balance series although it focuses on a new couple. It advisable to have read book one, The Viper’s Heart (Raziel’s and Botis’s story) to gain a sense of context for this one. MM intimate experiences divulged in the pages. Suitable for adult readers only.

Exclusive Excerpt

“You can see connections between people?” Zagan sat up, resting his back on the headboard. “Like lines or something?”

“Threads. Yes.” Anael nodded. “It’s my gift as the angel of passion. Not all the connections I see are positive ones of course, but they’re the ones I focus on.”

“How do you know which is which; what I mean is, how can you tell if a person’s connection with another is the right kind or not?”

Wondering if Zagan had an ulterior motive for asking, Anael said brightly, “Colors. The colors of the threads. Silver and gold are true love. You don’t see too many of them in humans. But purple means passion; blues are friendship and family and then there are the darker ones, and I am sure you know what they mean.”

“I probably see more of that kind than you do, my precious angel. What does red and gold mean?”

Anael’s eyes widened. “You saw our connection?” He thought he was the only being with that power and he doubted demons ever considered the connections others shared. But the fact that Zagan had seen their threads…He’s perfect for me.

“I saw something. It could have been a trick of the light.”

Zagan sounded so unsure and Anael rushed to reassure him. “Oh, it’s real. As real as this bed we’re sitting on. I was so excited when we met and I saw it stretching between us. I knew as soon as I heard about you, that you’d be someone special to me. But the threads confirmed it. Isn’t it wonderful? I never dreamed I’d be part of the Head Office mating scheme. You and I are the next angel demon pairing. We’ll be together forever. Aren’t you pleased?”

“That would be a ‘fuck no’.”

Anael reached out, his need to touch and give comfort overriding commonsense. But he fell forward as Zagan suddenly disappeared, leaving his nose squashed in the blankets.

“Well, that was unexpected.” Pushing himself up, Anael searched the room, but Zagan was definitely gone; only his boots resting by the side of the bed giving any indication he’d been there at all. Flopping back on the blankets, still warm from where Zagan had been, Anael let out a long sigh. “Guess love wasn’t meant to be easy, even for an angel.”
