ANCIENT LEGENDS – NEW WORLDS -Humans
weren’t the only ones to migrate to America
When two hidden worlds collide near
modern day Lake Michigan, Jennifer, a young Native American, is confronted with
the reality, not everything is as it seems and things do go bump in the night.
The questions she has long since asked are answered in this epic tale of self
discovery when she meets Gabriel; the director of Guardians Incorporated.
Born in New Tuat, Netchkhet, now
known as Gabriel, came to Earth some five thousand years ago to protect the
human race. Disillusioned because of an unfulfilled prophecy, he has become
cold and distant -- even from those of his kind. Secretly, he waits for his enemy
to take his head so he may leave this world for good.
Can a tiny Selkie melt his hardened
heart and restore his faith in a power far greater than himself? When history
repeats itself, can he save her from death’s embrace or will they be robbed of
a future again?
Excerpt
Slowly Jennifer turned her head to take another look
at the big guy leaning against the wall. Was
he really looking at her? And if so, why?
She got brave. Out of her right eye she took a good
long look at him. God knows she had never seen anyone that tall. He was no less
than 275 pounds, solidly build, raven black hair combed straight back. He had a
stern hard face with a perfect square chin. There was something about him she
couldn’t quite put her finger on. It was like he was a wild animal on the prowl
for something to consume, yet she sensed a gentleness about him like she did
with most animals.
Strange, he’s been in the house for a while and its
dark outside, why is he still wearing those shades? Maybe he's a celebrity she
didn’t recognize. Then again, maybe he’s high and trying to hide it.
He was richly dressed in an Italian black custom silk
suit which had been tailored to fit his large frame. No suits came off the rack
and looked like that. His black shirt, definitely silk, was unbuttoned to the
middle of his smooth muscular chest showing his dark tanned naked skin.
Why does a
man like that wax? Surely with his
dark hair and features he would definitely have chest hair. Just as she was
giving him a once over, he reached up with one hand lowering his glasses and
looked directly at her. He had the most penetrating midnight black eyes she had
ever seen.
With their eyes locked on each other she was lost,
hypnotized, as she felt him reach into her soul. She knew he caught her staring
at him, yet she couldn’t turn away. Part of her wanted to remain lost in his
eyes, the other part of her wanted to run for her life.
ANCIENT LEGENDS - NEW WORLDS - Humans weren't the only ones to migrate to America
Hidden and protected from everyone, including Jennifer, no one knew of her existence. Jessica spent a lifetime learning through the eyes of another. From the moment she saw him, she knew she and Raphael were destined to be together.
Can she find the strength to free herself and save Raphael or will she join him in death's embrace?
Excerpt
Raphael's eyes fluttered open. He saw the familiar woman with her long platinum hair blowing in the wind as she walked towards him. Her face was all too familiar yet he still didn't know who she was. He searched his mind trying to remember if she'd ever told him her name in all the hours they spent making love in his dreams. He was too weak from blood loss to focus his cognitive abilities -- instead he just stared at the beautiful angelic looking young woman who knelt down beside him.
Wondering if he was dreaming he finally asked, "Who are you?"
She brought her finger up to her lips in a motion to quiet him. Her lips didn't move yet he heard her say, "I am the one for you."
The beauty leaned over him, her long hair draping him ina coverlet of warmth. He looked into her eyes. Those eyes, there is something about those eyes.
She placed her wrist on his lips and heard her say, "Drink and live."
He was too weak to do anything else. He closed his eyes and took which she offered so freely. His nostrils filled with the scents of benzoin and orange blossoms. The warm ambrosia of her blood tasted sweeter than the finest navel oranges he had ever sampled. He moaned, then moaned again as his body reacted instantly to her life giving blood. His pulse quickened, his heart skipped a couple of beats and his erection grew to its full length yet it remained hidden behind the zipper of his pants. Having his angel on top of him, feeding him, in real life and not ina dream, was beyond his wildest fantasy. Raphael knew in that one moment she was the only woman for him and he would go to his grave before he took another.

Bio
V.S. Nelson has always enjoyed reading stories with
strong relationships and happy endings so it’s not surprising she found herself
writing across the romance genre.
Landing in Arizona, after an exciting teaching
career, which took her to the Middle East for several years, she lives in
Arizona where she spend most of my time making love to her computer while
writing, editing or researching, seven to ten hours a day. The days she’s not
writing, you will find her with my critique partners at Starbucks, attending or
presenting a workshop or at a RWA meeting. Being a Native American woman and a Scorpio, she’s
always had a fondness for history, mythology, the occult, and the unexplained
events which have occurred on this world we call home. It was no wonder she
found herself writing a paranormal series.
She enjoys hearing from readers, fans and people
with similar interests. They are more than
