South of Surrender Release Day Blitz Giveaway
FROM THE AUTHOR:
I am thrilled to welcome Chrysander
Notos and Laney Summerlyn to the world today, and to welcome back the whole
Anemoi family, too! Chrys and Laney are the hero and heroine of South of Surrender, the third book in my
Greek-mythology inspired Hearts of the Anemoi series. The Anemoi were wind gods
the Greeks associated with controlling the wind, the weather, and the seasons,
and as the summer god, Chrys is the hottest of them all! Passions and conflict
between the Anemoi brothers heat way, way up in South of Surrender. Need more proof? Check out this tense excerpt as
well as the giveaway that follows!
EXCERPT:
Aeolus
stepped forward. “We are all expendable. It is not the god, but the wind he
serves, that matters. So I ask each of you now. Are you prepared to stand and
fight?”
The
gods offered solemn agreement.
Aeolus
moved to the center of the room. Anger and determination carved hard angles
into his face. Thunder and lightning split the sky. “I say again. Are you prepared
to stand and fight?”
A
loud, fierce cheer of approval and commitment shook the room. Teddy fussed but
didn’t cry, as if even his divine energy understood the threat they faced.
“Make
no mistake. We are at war. We will not all come out of it alive. Sacrifices
will be made.” He held up his maimed hand. “And you must understand the full
extent of what you are up against. Eurus possesses the firestone ring. He has
power over the winds, over each of you. This is my fault. I fully acknowledge
it. And I stand ready to sacrifice myself to set this right.” Murmurs sounded
from around the room.
This…this
was the resignation he’d seen on Aeolus’s face. As many grievances as Chrys could
voice against his father, he would fight to the last to prevent any of
his family from dying. They’d lost enough. Had enough turmoil. For several lifetimes.
Aeolus
continued. “Together, we are strong. Eurus cannot take us all at once. We must
fight. To avenge the death of one of our own who has fallen this night. To
avenge wrongs against others of our numbers in recent days, weeks, and months.
To preserve and protect the human realm, as is our duty and purpose.”
Boreas
pushed off the wall and stood tall. “In the name of the North Wind, I stand
ready to fight.”
Zeph
nodded. “In the name of the West Wind, I, too, stand ready to fight.”
“In
the name of the South Wind, and in the name of vengeance for the Southeast
Wind, I stand ready to kick some ass,” Chrys said. “So what’s our plan?”

ABOUT THE BOOK, South of Surrender:
Chrysander Notos, Supreme God of the South Wind and Summer, is on a mission: save Eurus from his death sentence and prove his troubled brother can be redeemed. But Eurus fights back, triggering vicious storms that threaten the mortal realm and dangerously drain Chrys.
Laney Summerlyn refuses to give up her grandfather's horse farm, despite her deteriorating vision. More than ever, she needs the organized routine of her life at Summerlyn Stables, until a ferocious storm brings an impossible—and beautiful—creature crashing down from the heavens.
Injured while fighting Eurus, Chrys finds himself at the mercy of a mortal woman whose compassion and acceptance he can't resist. As they surrender to the passion flaring between them, immortal enemies close in, forcing Chrys to choose between his brother and the only woman who's ever loved the real him.
