Synopsis
“Ah, my lovely sisters of fate,” Altair Battaglia whispered softly to the shimmering Insedivertus sky. “What future do you have in store for this humble servant? I await your sign with bated breath.”A calm mission to destroy a nasty drug czar would be nice. But then again, when is anything ever easy? Especially when a set of wide green eyes and red-stained luscious lips has this seasoned warrior oblivious to everything around him…even her lethal Glock-19 hovering inches from his chin.
Fierce, determined, and carrying a burden heavy enough to make a weaker person weep in defeat, Makenna Dunn never thought life would ever cut her a break. How could she have even imagined a mysterious stranger interrupting her deadly goal might flip her world upside down and thaw her frozen heart?
Fast paced and screaming hot, Book 11 in the FBL Series yet again tugs your heart, tingles your senses, and leaves you panting for more. Get ready!
Teaser: Excerpt
My foemina? What does that mean? Amazed at the wash of chills ripping up her neck upon each sinfully sexy word wafting across her ear, Makenna locked her knees to keep from melting into a pile of steaming goo. She’d thought him more than stunning while he’d stared up at her window from the street, but being mere inches from him left her befuddled and grasping for the perfect adjectives.Fallen angel zipped through her lethargic brain, trying to settle and make sense of the breathtaking creature trapping her in the corner. His palm slowly moved away from her mouth, leaving her to fight for something to say or at least release her frazzled emotion on a string of sound. Move, stupid, she silently screamed at her frozen body. Strong fingers quickly captured her jaw as all focus dove to the sensation of his soft facial hair tickling across her cheek and warm, masculine lips covering her own.
Oh my God! He’s kissing me. Why is he kissing me? Despite the shocking realization, Makenna still expected to feel a knife sliding into her gut, not a big palm gripping her ass and pulling her closer. He took ownership of her mouth—skillful, probing, demanding, yet gentle in its execution. Magnificent. Fire shot through her groin upon his continued refusal to release her right fist from the wall, leaving her shaky and weak. She molded to his hard, powerful body, immediately disturbed at the guttural moan rolling up her throat and joining his. Ah God. He tastes so good.

Thanks for hosting!
Lol! You got my “author muscle” pic from IG! Absolutely love your post for my release today. Thanks for hosting me today! You rock! 😁😘
Hi Celeste! Apologies for missing your releases last year...
Pic - you know I need to find something I like. Bit of cropping, bit of a filter... I think it's a great pic!
Damn! I haven't read any more after Drusus - which I definitely liked. Loved the premise, very clever. Also loved the language you used for our hunks; a mixture of Latin and formal English - I thought it was perfect :-)
So good to have you back here :-D
Flora
Hey, Flora! Love you took the time to make it unique. You're so sweet! Hey, I have something for you. I rewrote Book 1 Drusus. (Drusus Revisited) It's not going to be published since the original is still out there, but since it was my first book ever, I wanted to give it a shot at expansion. Upped it by 30,000 words with more backstory and sizzle. If you want a copy just to get a different take on it, then send me an email at celeste.prater@yahoo.com and I'll shoot you over a PDF. :-) xoxo
Oh, wow! Yes! :-) That will get me started on the series again!
30,000 extra words! LOL
You certainly do NOT sell your readers short!
Thank you, Celeste. I'll drop you a line now.
xxx
lol! Yes, had a lot more I always wanted to put in that first book to make it a great launching point for the remaining series. Just sent the PDF to your email. Enjoy! xoxo
P.S. I'm also offering it to anyone that purchases the 4-book Series introduction pack.
