Read Excerpt

Is Daphne only a sacrifice in the way of life or is there more to it?

Former princess Daphne lingers in Croapolis to render what aid she can to the townspeople. Too late, she finds herself a pawn in her evil uncle's plan to sacrifice her in place of his wicked daughter. Daphne is a loyal follower of Poseidon and willingly offers her body to the Kraken—three shape-shifting godlings sent to devour her.

But the Kraken, the three sons of Poseidon, have other plans for Daphne. They'll devour her, all right, and when they finish, they'll do it again and again, until she dies the "little death".

Ambrosia never tasted so rich...

Read Excerpt

Across the lines of religious and cultural disparity, they discover love...
...heart said I, what a gift it has been
to enter this circle of lovers
to see beyond seeing itself
to reach in and feel within the breast...
Rumi, 13th Century Poet

The scenic Georgetown University campus on the outskirts of the bustling metropolis of Washington D.C. is the setting for this contemporary romance. Athar Mirzan, an Anglo-Iranian student transfers from England to pursue a career in medicine and also to escape the memories of a troubled, dark past. Among his close circle of new friends is the lovely Gillian McPherson, eager to break free from the tight restraints of a Chicago high society, privileged upbringing and prove her independence by becoming the stellar student.

It does not take long for Gillian to sense the intensity of Athar's love and form a bond that must prove powerful enough to conquer the vengeful ghosts of his past. When disaster strikes can their love endure the perils and intrigue of a journey to Iran in an attempt to rescue their kidnapped infant from the clutches of the alluring femme fatale, Zahra?

In the driest, whitest stretch of pain's infinite desert…I lost my sanity
…and found this rose,
~ Rumi

FRAGILE for FREE! You still have 4 More Days!

In this day and age there is rarely anything for free. Usually there is some catch, some requirement, a minimum to buy or an amount you must give to receive the "free" item.

Well, Red Rose Publishing takes its first year anniversary quite seriously. As do myself and author, Shara Azod. We've had such a good relationship with Red Rose Publishing and our readers, we decided to write a free short story as a gift to RRP and to our readers.

That short story became FRAGILE. It is a romantic tale of love, pain, and envy. Here's a brief blurb about this surprisingly sweet tale.

blurb: Cayla was not the typical gun shot victim. A quiet waitress, she was brutally gunned down coming out of the neighborhood corner store. There was nothing taken, there was no motive, just a fragile, broken woman lying on the cold, broken sidewalk. Kale was not the easiest cop to get along with. Biting and sarcastic, he worked alone caring for little but the job. There was something about this case that Kale just couldn’t let go. There was something about this victim that called him unlike any other. Can they heal each other?

FRAGILE is only free for another four days. Once August 1st arrives, all free reads will revert to their regular price. For FRAGILE that's $2.99. So, go grab FRAGILE today!

Happy Reading!

Best,
RaeLynn Blue

Cayla was not the typical gun shot victim. A quiet waitress, she was brutally gunned down coming out of the neighborhood corner store. There was nothing taken, there was no motive, just a fragile, broken woman lying on the cold, broken sidewalk.

Kale was not the easiest cop to get along with. Biting and sarcastic, he worked alone caring for little but the job. There was something about this case that Kale just couldn't let go. There was something about this victim that called him unlike any other.

Can they heal each other or will it just be a banage on their wounds and they still fester?

AN OPEN LURE Gets FOUR Angels from Fallen Angel

Fallen Angel Review awarded AN OPEN LURE four angels. According to Fallen Angel, "...RaeLynn Blue has written a story about second changes, and love being found when you least expect it. The characters are strong, and Zuri has a witty side that adds humor in just the right places. Jake’s nature would not allow him bypass Zuri and the gift she had within. I loved the cat and mouse chase between the two lovers. An Open Lure left me smiling and content by the time the last word was read. Those who enjoy paranormal novels will take pleasure in this story."--NeNe, Read the entire review HERE!

Read Excerpt

Bella-Sophia "Blitz" Forrester is your average African-American woman…with undergraduate degrees, an M.A. in Exercise and Sports Science and a J.D. from the prestigious University of North Carolina average. With a resume that impressive, Blitz should be rocking the very best of fashion and working for a prestigious law firm in her native Atlanta—not. Blitz's standard is cargo jeans and cleats and her only bling is a standard coach's whistle. Instead of arguing cases for wealthy clients, Blitz Forrester works as a defensive coordinator for a Division 1 college men's football team. The only female to hold such a position in the male-dominated bastion of big time college football and Blitz is all business—all the time.

Wulf Altenöder is the average man of privilege. That is, he enjoys his jet-set lifestyle and the women who come with it. A soccer guru from Liechtenstein, he is asked to coach the men's soccer team at Blitz's university.

After a rough first meeting, Blitz has every intention of avoiding Wulf and his Grade A arrogant attitude. Of course, that goes to the wayside when she's elected to show him around Atlanta and unintentionally shows him the woman beneath the coach. That glimpse is all Wulf needs to know he wants to rub Blitz the right way… if he hasn't already ruined his chances. Chocolates, smooth words, and a rocking body are the standard tools for wooing, but Blitz is anything but standard. Will Wolf be the man who can tackle her love or just a one time bench warmer?
