Author Spotlight #TNTConfidential on Scarlett Knight and Coffee Beans and Rose Petals



Happy Tuesday, guys! This month has been a bit crazy and as you've probably seen posts haven't been very consistent. I'll try to fix that this upcoming May. Anyhow, today I have a fab guest and a fab book for you! I've had the privilege of reading this novel and I absolutely recommend. It's both a heartwarming and romantic tale that will keep you at the edge of your seat hoping for the characters happy ending. Anyway, on to my guest, the lovely, Scarlett Knight.


            Thanks to the fantastic Elyzabeth M. VaLey for letting me do this short post. I hope you all know what an awesome person she is! Anyway, I am happy to be here today to introduce my brand new romance novella to all of you. It's called Coffee Beans and Rose Petals. For those of you looking for a pick-me-up story, then this romantic, contemporary read might just be the one for you. Here's the blurb:

            Kayleigh's café is in serious trouble. The new chain across the street has threatened to put her out of business, and it's all she can think about. That is until a sexy stranger walks in for coffee one afternoon.
Dean never expected the competition to be so hot. When he stops by Kayleigh's café undercover, he falls hard for the small business owner. Keeping his true identity a secret, he charms the alluring woman into having a fiery fling. But when deep, mutual feelings blossom, Dean finds himself faced with the inevitable: he must tell the truth or walk away.

Happy Sunday, lovelies!

Since it's the only story I'm working on at the moment - at it's a tortously slow process- I'm still posting snippets of Clare's story. 

Let's recap: Clare (aka Luna), has met a mysterious, yet hunky, alien who's come to take her back to his home. She believes he's Mikelo, the alien boy she'd met twenty years ago... but he's presented himself as Serrik. In shock, Clare doesn't know how to react. Serrik taunts her and asks her why she is not screaming. In the previous snippet he tells her that her destiny is tied with his people. Clare denies it and  he threatens her. Serrik will do whatever it takes to get Clare back to his world and to Mikelo.

In this snippet, I've skipped a few lines where Clare asks Serrik to stop watching her and he says he can't because he gave his word that he would take her back to Mikelo and otherwise she'd run. Clare says she gave him his word but Serrik disagrees and explains that words and promises have a much deeper meaning...

From the short distance that separated them, she observed him. He could almost see the way her mind worked, connecting the dots. He was marked, almost every inch of his skin visible to her was inked in some way. Promises. Oaths. He was a man of his word. 



"That is ridiculous, those are nothing but tattoos, they only have the meaning you give them.



Serrik ground his teeth together. He had met an enemy like her once that had mocked his marks, his symbols, his oaths, and said they were nothing more than drawings on a human canvas. He did not live to finish his ill thoughts.

Happy Sunday, darlings!

Since I can hardly speak because they tightened my braces this week, I'm going to jump right into the snippet. *grin*

Let's recap: Clare (aka Luna), has met a mysterious, yet hunky, alien who's come to take her back to his home. She believes he's Mikelo, the alien boy she'd met twenty years ago... but he's presented himself as Serrik. In shock, Clare doesn't know how to react. Serrik taunts her and asks her why she is not screaming. In the previous snippet he tells her that her destiny is tied with his people. Clare denies it and  he threatens her. Serrik will do whatever it takes to get Clare back to his world and to Mikelo.

In this snippet, I've skipped a few lines where Clare asks Serrik to stop watching her and he says he can't because he gave his word that he would take her back to Mikelo and otherwise she'd run. Clare says she gave him his word but Serrik disagrees and that more or less brings us to today's snippet...

She shrugged and as she did the strap of her dress moved and he glimpsed the mark. The sight was like an icy rain storm on a cold winter day. Unwelcome. Painful. The reminder of her mark jarred him back to reality. He placed his fingers below his breast, feeling out his own reminder. His own words from the previous night seemed to echo in his head: I will deliver her unharmed.

"That's where you're wrong, little one, words are naught but that, words, the wind may cause them to take to the sky and vanish as if they never had been. On the other hand, oaths, the ones that mark your body, the ones that draw blood deep from within you, those are the ones that count. Those are the ones that you will forever remember.
