But when he needs Six’s support to find and join his people, Pietas must learn to humble himself and ask for help–politely– and even more outrageous–request forgiveness. From a human. For without aid, the immortal king might spend an eternity alone, never finding the people he has already died over a thousand times to save.

    In the northern reaches of Scotland rests Loch Saorach, home to an ancient legend—a dragon. The Matasan family has guarded the loch and its dragon for centuries.
    Over the years Saorach has claimed humans, imbuing them with his fae magic. Connor Matasan, the arrogant Earl of Glencarol, is a recent acquisition. Like all those possessed and transformed by the dragon’s ancient magic, Connor is sith, immortal and commanding powers beyond the human norm.
    Middle aged wife and mother Lila is vacationing in Scotland when Saorach chooses her to join his brood. Her transformation to an eternally young sith is painful and compounded by the loss of everything she holds dear. Waking to a new life, she is utterly dependent upon Connor and his family. Lila feels trapped and resents that the dragon has bound her to Connor, soul to soul, passion to passion: a passion Connor cannot control, a passion Lila fears.
    Will the magic that brought them together destroy them?

    Know the Heroine from Second Chances by Alana Lorens #RLFblog #romantic suspenseAlana Lorens, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about the book.

    Second Chances by Alana Lorens

    Genre romantic suspense
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    When Inessa Regan gets a pink slip, laid off from her law firm at the age of 42 without prospects, she’s sure her life is over. She hides from the world, until her neighbor brings her a client, a young Iraq war veteran dying of cancer.
    Kurt Lowdon only wants to make sure his affairs are in order should the worst happen, but meeting Inessa gives him encouragement on the road to recovery. His quest to help her realize her self-worth leads them into dangers they never expected, as horrors from the war and long-hidden family secrets come back to haunt them.

    Know the Heroine from Second Chances

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
    It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
    Inessa gets lonely at night. She’d dig out some Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey and chill with Netflix
    What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
    Definitely sweets. She’s an ice cream addict, but any chocolate or cookies would do in a pinch.
    Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
    She’s been a little overweight for years, so she prefers loose, light, comfortable clothing rather than the suits her law form required her to wear to court.
    Does she know how to fix things?
    Legally? She’s a family law attorney, so she knows how to fix a lot of people’s problems! Other people, that is. She’s not really great at dealing with her own problems—or anything tech-y.
    She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
    Inessa noticed that the young woman living in the apartment over her rented office has many bruises and a subdued attitude. She knows that this woman is being battered, and she knows how she can help through legal remedies. But Inessa can’t keep her mouth shut over the indignity and smack-talks the abuser, trying to get him to back off. Unfortunately, it just escalates the situation.
    How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
    She’s awkward. She’s never had children, and being a child for her was a nightmare, living with a single father who always skipped out on his bills. So she would likely have lollipops in the office to bribe them to behave.
    What is she like first thing in the morning?
    She hates waking up, but once she’s awake, she can’t lay in bed. She has to get up, get dressed and start doing things.
    Can she use chopsticks?
    Sure. One at a time. To stab sweet and sour chicken. And dumplings.
    Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
    There’s nothing better in life than a good cup of coffee with just the right amount of cream and sugar and flavoring.
    What apps would she have on her phone?
    Rewards programs, and probably an electronic wrist-type tracker which she’d keep resetting because she’d always forget to use it.
    Android or iPhone?
    Android. She’s not tech-savvy, and just buys something without many bells and whistles.
    Earrings or unpierced ears?
    Pierced ears, and usually wearing something tasteful. As she begins opening up a little, she uses brighter, danglier earrings to make herself feel pretty
    Tattoos or unadorned skin?
    No needles!!! No thank you!
    Personal vehicle or public transport?
    She has a car, several long years old. She doesn’t feel financially secure enough to buy a new one yet.
    Recycle or toss?
    All good girls recycle, don’t they?

    Courting the Stationmaster’s Daughter by Juli D Revezzo

    Genre: Historical romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): PG
    After Honorine Camden is jilted, leaving her stunned and sparking a scandal in her tiny London borough of Wallflower, she’s devastated. But when she overhears her father, the stationmaster, talking about arranging a party for their newly-minted underground railway station, she volunteers to help. Although she’s intrigued with the handsome assistant stationmaster, Shane MacIntyre, she never expects to fall head-over-heels in love with him. Unfortunately, one tragic accident might derail everything.

    Know the Heroine from Courting the Stationmaster’s Daughter

    Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
    It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
    Since you said it’s late, Honorine will usually pull out her collection of dried flowers, and sort through them–or pick up a book. Her go-to is anything on natural history, but right now, she’s trying to finish Jane Austen’s Sense and Sensibility.
    What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
    Apple fritters.
    Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
    Her long dress with the holly garland around the hem and cuffs is her favorite. If she can forgo the bustle, she’s most comfortable without it.
    Does she know how to fix things?
    Not really. She can dig a post hole, though. Anything gardening related that can be applied to fixing anything? She could do that.
    She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
    Where do we start? She’s trying to organize this party, you see, and every little detail seems to keep spiraling out of control. She’s only got a week left, and still no venue, and then, there was this little thing of the train wreck on her father’s route…
    How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
    Stiff and quiet. She’s not really a child person.
    What is she like first thing in the morning?
    Groggy, usually misses her father leaving early. But lately, she’s finding it hard to sleep so, has been getting up with the household staff, before dawn.
    How does she handle things when in a “proper” social situation?
    Usually quiet and demure. If there are friends around, she prefers to sit and talk with them.
    Maid or takes care of herself?
    She has a maid but can take care of herself, if necessary.
    Proper dress or casual clothes?
    Proper dress.
    Sleeves buttoned or rolled up?
    Rolled up.
    Powdered wig or natural hair?
    Natural hair, usually braided.
    Carriage or horseback?
    Underground train, if you please! J It’s the newest, latest way to get from Wallflower to London and points beyond. (Plus, her father, and her beloved, run the subway station in Wallflower, so it’s almost required conveyance for Honorine.)
