Every Last Kiss (The Bloodstone Saga, #1)

Amazon / Goodreads

GOOREADS BLURB

Born a goddess. Controlled by the Fates. Can Macy’s love for her soul mate survive the bonds of time… and death?

17-year old Macy Lockhart is as far from normal as any one girl can be. The problem is, she doesn’t know it yet.

After a bloodstone pendant is mysteriously left on her door, Macy’s life begins to change in ways she’d never dreamed. And while she will eventually come to realize that nothing is ever what it seems, that her life is a tangled web of lies and the Fates themselves pull the strings, for now she is left with only the explanations that they offer her.

Macy is led to believe that if she doesn’t return to a previous doomed life, one in which she served as Queen Cleopatra ‘s handmaiden, the fate of the entire world will be threatened in a way that would destroy history as we know it. She learns that she has lived thousands of lives, each one ending tragically…but none as tragic as this one.

After returning to ancient Egypt, she is faced with heart-wrenching decisions. Unless she interferes with Fate’s plan, the very thing she was born to protect, her soul mate will die leading Marc Antony’s forces against Rome. Can she really stand aside and watch the love of her life die all over again?

In this fascinating novel-length prequel to The Bloodstone Saga, Courtney Cole sets the stage for an epic journey that will have readers holding their breath until the very last page of the very last book has been turned.

What would you do if you held Fate in your hands?

GOODREADS BLURB

Question: When your mother is a powerful witch and your father is a soul-sucking vampire, what does that make you? Answer: Cursed. With all the beauty and charm of a Siren, but cursed as a blood-sucking succubus, Empusa longs for love and a normal life. Neither of these can ever be hers, because the only thing she brings to anyone she loves is death. Em lingers in the mortal world, hiding from her father and existing in a lonely life. Until she meets Brennan. With golden hair and a radiant smile, he captures her heart and awakens it from slumber. But Brennan is more than he seems. And in a relationship where life itself hangs in the balance, is love ever really enough?

EXCERPT

Are you feeling warm yet?”

I watch his lips as he speaks
the words, husky and low. His lips are
full, yet manly and suddenly I ache to lean over and press mine to his, to
touch them in any way that I can.

But I don’t.

Because I’m not a girl who gets
used. Not anymore.

“No, not at all.”

But Dominic takes that as a
challenge. He’s not used to hearing the
word no and he’s not about to start now.
I see that in his dark eyes a scant moment before he dips his head and
consumes my mouth.

I say consume, instead of kiss,
because that’s what he does.

He consumes me.

His lips are fiery and hot and
he kisses me with a fierceness that touches a secret part of me; moist, hot,
firm, sexy. I want to inhale him, to
suck him down. I vaguely feel his hands
on my back, his warmth emanating through my clothes, his hardness pushing into
my softness.

I’m breathless when he pulls
away.

“What about now?”

For the life of me, I’m afraid
to answer that. Instead, I pull away,
just a bit, just enough that there is some space between us, but I can still
absorb his warmth. As my teeth chatter,
both from the cold and from the suddden absence of his lips, I answer.

“I’m good.”

He laughs, a husky, low, naughty sound.

“Oh, I’m sure of that.”

And just like that, I’m drawn
back in… in toward his sexy smile, his arrogant gaze and his knowing
smirk. He’s bad for me. Very bad for me. I’ve got to remember that.

He
will decimate you,
I tell myself.

But my problem is, every
time I look into his dark eyes and see the mysterious things that lurk there, I
forget that. I forget everything that
is supposed to matter.
