Book Description:
An ancient feud. A threat from the
Vatican. Two lovers caught in the middle.
Nick never wanted to live forever,
and he certainly didn’t want to join the Order of the Sinistra Dei.
Unfortunately, before he’s able to get used to the idea of immortality, the
High Judge from the Vatican arrives in New Orleans to investigate the strange
events of Fat Tuesday. If Nick doesn’t play his cards right, his forever could
be a whole lot shorter.
Marin, a relatively new immortal,
is forced to serve as assistant to the High Judge while he investigates the
alleged crimes of those she holds most dear. She’ll do what she has to do to
protect her clutch. However, her efforts bring her closer to facing the
executioner’s blade.
As their world spins out of
control, Marin and Nick struggle to reconcile past hurts and hold onto their
budding relationship. New enemies, new abilities, and new desires threaten to
tear them apart. It isn’t long before they realize love can’t heal all.
Loving someone means you want the
best for them...but what happens when what’s best isn’t you?
Feast
of Mercy is the second book of the Order of the Sinistra Dei series, an Urban
Fantasy/Paranormal Romance like no other. If you like mysterious supernatural
creatures, conflict-ridden romance and a lot of heat, then you’ll love this
series.
Short
Excerpt:
Nick expected
sounds from her—moans, maybe a scream or two. What he didn’t expect was for her
to bolt upright and let out a blood curdling scream. Déjà-fucking-vu.
“Get out,” Marin
shouted.
For a brief
terrifying second, Nick thought she spoke to him, then a male voice spoke from
the door.
“Marin, I require
your services,” a man said from behind him.
Nick covered her
body with his unsure of what else to do. He didn’t recognize the voice, though
he detected a European accent. Anyone who called her by name would have
recognized him, even with his face buried between her legs. It had to be
Lysander.
When the door
clicked shut, he hopped off. “Who was that?”
“The High Judge.
He’s practically a priest. A freaking priest saw my boobs.” Marin scrambled off
the couch in search of her clothes.
“He’s not a
priest. Worse.” Nick laughed deep in his gut. If looks could kill, he’d be
stone cold dead, for keeps this time. “I’m sorry. Do you think he recognized
me?”
“Where is my bra,
dammit?” She pulled her jeans on commando style.
Nick handed her
the scrap of lace she called panties. “Where are we going?”
“You aren’t going
anywhere. You’re going to hide here until he’s gone, then go back to Gia’s. I
need to find out what the hell he wants.” She snatched her bra from the edge of
the desk and rushed it on.
Nick ran his hand
through his hair. “Shit. This is bad.”
“Call Gia.”
“I will.”
“Now.” Marin
slipped out the door.
Gia’s phone rang
until he thought it would go to voicemail. “Hey, Nick.”
“Gia, the High
Judge came looking for Marin.”
“Where? Did he see
you?”
“The bar.” Nick’s
stomach clenched. “I don’t know if he saw me.”
“Did he say why he
wanted Marin?”
“No, but you need
to be careful. Nicholai and Serena are still in town. If he comes to the
townhouse, Nicholai doesn’t need to be the one to answer the door.”
“Shit, hang on.”
She spoke with someone. “Okay, where are you now?”
“I’m still upstairs in the office,
he barged in and caught us…um…making up. I didn’t get a look at him.”
