Title: Dissension

Author: K.A. Salidas

Series: Chronicles of the Uprising (#1)

Genre: Paranormal/Dystopian 

Publisher: Rising Sign Books

Release Date: Feb 11 2014

The great cataclysm wiped almost all life from the face of planet Earth, but tiny pockets of survivors crawled from the ashes, with only one thought: survival, at any cost. 

But not all survivors were human. 

In the dark, militant society that has risen in the aftermath, vampires, once thought to be mythical, have been assimilated and enslaved. Used for blood sport their lives are allowed to continue only for the entertainment of the masses. Reviled as savages, they are destined to serve out their immortal lives in the arena, as gladiators. 

And there is no greater gladiator than Mira: undefeated, uncompromising...and seemingly unbreakable. When an escape attempt leads Mira into the path of Lucian Stavros, the city’s Regent, her destiny is changed forever. 

Lucian, raised in a culture which both reviles and celebrates the savagery and inhumanity of vampires, finds Mira as intriguing as she is brash. An impulsive decision - to become Mira’s patron – changes more than just Lucian’s perception about vampire kind.  The course of his life is altered in ways he could never have predicted – a life that is suddenly as expendable as hers. 

Can Mira prove to Lucian that all is not as it seems? Can Lucian escape centuries of lies, bloodshed, and propaganda to see the truth? Or will the supreme power of the human overlords destroy them both?

Spotlight Compromising Willa by Diana Quincy

Blurb:

Lady Wilhelmina Stanhope is ruined and everyone knows it. Back in Town for the first season since her downfall, Willa plans to remain firmly on the shelf, assuming only fortune hunters will want her now. Instead she focuses on her unique tea blends, secretly supporting a coffee house which employs poor women and children. If her clandestine involvement in trade is discovered, she'll be ruined. Again.

No one is more shocked by Willa's lack of quality suitors than the newly minted Duke of Hartwell. Having just returned from India, the dark duke is instantly attracted to the mysterious wallflower. His pursuit is hampered by the ruthless Earl of Bellingham, who once jilted Willa and is now determined to reclaim her.

Caught between the clash of two powerful men, a furious Willa refuses to concede her independence to save her reputation. But will she compromise her heart?

Excerpt: Cam regarded Willa with weary resignation. “Your reputation cannot survive another scandal.” “We shall marry,” Hart said in decisive tones, certain of the inherent rightness of his decision. “It is the only answer.” Willa’s arms crossed under her chest, drawing his eye to her abundant, softly quivering bosom. One that would soon be his to cherish—along with the rest of this heavenly woman. The thought of it triggered a surprising burst of gladness in him.  But she didn’t seem to be reacting with the same equanimity. “You two and your misplaced sense of honor are not going to force me into marriage with a man who has made his disdain for me quite clear.” A glancing pain stung Hart’s chest. “Do you find the idea of marriage to me so abhorrent?”  “I won't consent,” she said stubbornly to Cam. “My reputation be gone. I won't be forced into a silly charade of a marriage for no good reason. I won't do it.” “I cannot force you.” Sadness weighted Cam’s voice. Willa exhaled with obvious relief, but then Cam turned to Hart. “She leaves me no alternative. I demand satisfaction.”  “What! Are you cracked?” Willa blurted. “Don't be a fool. There is not going to be any duel!”  Tension snaked into every muscle in Hart’s body. “Name your seconds, Camryn.”  Willa whipped around to Hart. “Don’t be so beetle brained,” she cried. “Cam’s a perfect shot. He’ll kill you.”  “So be it.” A sense of calm infused him. “Your honor has to be avenged.”  “Avenged?” Willa's voice rose in panic. “What of your mother? You would leave her alone in this world? She has already lost one son. You would condemn her to a life without either of her children?”  “It is not ideal, but I have little choice in the matter.” Heaviness settled in his heart. His mother’s grief would be unimaginable. “Name your seconds, Camryn.” “Not ideal? Aren’t you the last of your line?” she asked in a voice gone shrill with a rising sense of panic. He nodded in assent without taking his eyes off Cam’s stony expression. “What will it be, old friend, bullet or blade?”  “Wait!” Desperation edged her voice. “You must give me time to consider this. If marrying Hartwell is the only alternative to you two killing each other, I should at least have a few days to consider it.” “No.” Cam’s impenetrable stare moved from Hart to Willa. “I will have your consent now.” Buy  Links Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Compromising-Willa-Entangled-Scandalous-Quincy-ebook/dp/B00GL3NBSS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386159265&sr=8-1&keywords=compromising+willa Barnes & Noble  http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/compromising-willa-diana-quincy/1117366932?ean=9781622664146 iBookstore https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/compromising-willa/id741617786?mt=11 Kobo http://store.kobobooks.com/en-US/ebook/compromising-willa Author Bio Diana Quincy is an award-winning former television journalist who decided she’d rather make up stories where a happy ending is always guaranteed.
