I'd like to welcome fellow TEB author C.A. Szarek. C.A. has been kind enough to share her latest fantasy romance release with us titled, Sword's Call.
***Goodie Alert***
C.A. is also giving away a prize to a random commenter today. The winner will have a choice between a Swag Prize Pack OR a ebook copy of Sword's Call. So come on and leave those comments, or questions or random thoughts...about the book though...if you please. lol
Now, let's find out a bit more about Sword's Call.
For generations, the Ryhans, ruling family of the Province of Greenwald have been keepers of a sword rumored to possess enough magic to defeat kings. Lord Varthan, a former archduke and betrayer of the king, covets the sword and invades Greenwald.
Lady Ceralda Ryhan, daughter of the murdered duke, gains the sword and flees, trusting only her white wolf, Trikser—magically bonded to her. Cera needs nothing more to aid in her fight.
Jorrin Aldern, half elfin and half human, left his home in the mountains of Aramour to find his human father who disappeared twenty turns before, but finds Cera with Varthan and his shades on her tail instead. His dual heritage and empathic magic will tempt Cera in ways she never thought she’d desire. But can he convince her trust and love can pave the path to redemption or will the epic battle end in tragedy and evil conquer them all?
Now for the juicy Excerpt.
“Tell me about it,” Jorrin encouraged.
“I pictured our magic as a rope and wrapped it around us. I
stepped into him, making us one. I concentrated and I saw you. But then I saw
me, too. My eyes were closed, and I felt like I was sitting beside myself. It
was…unsettling, at first. But then Trik must have moved his head, because I saw
into the woods…he turned, right?”
He grinned at her. “Yes, he did. You did do it.”
Trikser made a noise in his throat but she ignored him.
Last night he’d been in her dreams. Try as she might, Cera
could no longer deny that she was attracted to him. That she’d liked that kiss
he stole what seemed ages ago.
Would he kiss her again? Heat crept up her neck and burned
her cheeks.
The way he was looking at her right then made her lose her
train of thought and her worries.
“Tell Trikser to move.”
“What?” But Cera already sent the mental command. Her bond
slipped off her lap with little encouragement. He’d caught sight of a rabbit,
and took off after it.
Jorrin grabbed her hand and tugged forward. She fell onto
his lap, moving to him instead of away, ignoring mental cautions that this
wasn’t a good idea, despite her dreams, her admitted attraction.
Their lips met in heated rushed. Cera’s arms shot around his
neck and she pressed closer. His body was hard against hers and a tremor shot
down her spine.
Her breasts pressed into his chest as he pinned her against
him. Jorrin shoved his tongue into her mouth and groaned. She clung to him,
moving her mouth under his
When she touched her tongue to his, he moaned, his hands
shooting down to cup her bottom.
Cera wiggled in his arms as an unfamiliar warmth enveloped
her like an embrace. Jorrin’s erection pressed into her hip and she clutched
his tunic with both hands.
When he kissed her harder, her head spun. Feeling his
urgency, confusion rushed her. She moaned, fighting the sensation of his
warmth, his strength as he squeezed her against him. Her desire for more. Her
desire for him. She couldn’t lose control.
Yanking back, she panted against him.
Jorrin’s chest heaved into her breasts as they both
struggled for breath. “What’s wrong?” he croaked.
Ohhh! Nice! Nothing like a good kiss to get things going. lol

Collision Force
Crossing Forces Book 1
Bad boy FBI agent and feisty widowed police detective collide pursuing a human trafficker in small town Texas on their way to true love.
Badboy, married to his job FBI agent Cole Lucas always gets his man. So when the unthinkable happens and one gets away, Cole grits his teeth and hunts human trafficker Carlo Maldonado all the way to Antioch, Texas, where he collides with Detective Andi MacLaren.
Cole doesn’t do small towns and doesn’t get involved with women he works with, but Andi tempts him in ways he doesn’t want to acknowledge.
Two murders, her partner shot and leading the investigation on her own, the last thing Andi needs a cocky FBI agent that sees her as no more than a tag-along.
Widow and single mother Andi is used to being on her own. When Cole gets stuck without a place to stay, crashing on her couch puts them in dangerous territory.
Attraction and passion bring Andi to a place she’d left behind when her husband died. Her three-year-old son quickly wiggles his way into Cole’s heart, and he starts contemplating things—family, love—that he’d never planned for himself.
Can being forced to work together make them stronger or will their differences jeopardize their case and their hearts?
