Please give a warm welcome back to Tes Hilaire! The second book in her Paladin Warriors Paranormal romance
series, Deliver Me from Temptation,
hits stores this week!
Thanksgiving, Christmas… ‘Tis the season for happiness and get
togethers and…PARTIES! Well today I’m
asking you to join me for just one more. Thanks for having me back to celebrate
the release of my second book, Deliver Me from Temptation. And what
better way to celebrate than to play a little game? See, this is how it’s going
to work… you are going to go to your bookshelf (and/or e-reader) and skim the
titles. Whoever can list the most titles that have anything to do with
Temptation will win! Win what, you ask? How
about a $15 dollar gift certificate* to Discover a New Love! Not a member? No problem, this gift
certificate will get you your membership and then some :-) We’ll also giveaway
a couple of copies of Deliver Me from
Temptation to the runners-up with tempting titles!
So, to review the deets: Go to your bookshelf (real or e-reader)
and find any title that has to do with Temptation.
It can be the word itself, or it can be something that makes you think of Temptation. Just be sure, if the link
between the title and Temptation
isn’t obvious, please include your explanation of why you think the title
should make us think of Temptation. For example: White business cards. Now how
in the world could they make anyone think of Temptation? Well… It went like this…
From
Deliver Me from Temptation:
They
did finally arrive, and she waited tensely as he got his ticket then sucked in
a breath as they drove forward, passing from the light of day into the
artificial light of the garage, and then shivered as they took the ramp to the
level where her car was parked. She made a point to stare directly at the spot
where she was taken down, and then turned her gaze to the elevator where she
imagined the third man. It made her tense, and a glaze of sweat slicked over
her skin, but she had to do it.
Like
getting back onto a bike.
Logan
double-parked his car behind hers, the locks clicking to their unlocked
position. She reached for the door handle but his hand on her arm stilled her.
She
turned her head, then wished she hadn’t when their gazes lined up making her
breath catch at the intensity in his eyes. He held out a business card, his
voice earnest as he spoke. “Promise me you’ll call if you need anything.”
She
stared at the card like it was a snake, and shook her head. To take it would be
akin to inviting temptation. Her reasoning was so far from acceptable where he
was concerned.
“Please.
Just in case.”
“Anything
like what?”
He
shrugged. “Help with anything. Or just to talk.”
And
that was exactly what she was afraid of. It would be so easy to give in to her
desire to know this man.
She
stared at the card. Block letter script on white. Simple. Harmless unless she
allowed herself to make it otherwise. “Just because I take it doesn’t mean I’ll
ever call.”
“I
know.” His eyes saddened as he said this, his mouth turned down in a grim line
as if the thought of never seeing or hearing from her again was truly painful
for him.
Oh
yeah. Definitely stalker. Yet…
She
reached out, snapping the card from between his fingers and stuffing it into
the back pocket of her jeans.
His
eyes flared, stormy gray before warming to a bluish-green slate color, but all
he said was a simple, “Thank you.”
“I’ve
got to go,” she said and pushed out of the car, then jogged across the garage
to her own.
Okay, so maybe simple white business cards still won’t work for
our game, but you get the gist. So go to
it, make those lists, and have fun!
Whether you win or not, you can be entered to win a copy of Deliver Me
from Temptation*
*Gift Certificate open internationally, Book prize open to US
& Canada

DELIVER ME
FROM TEMPTATION BY TES
HILIARE – IN STORES DECEMBER 2012
Logan
Screwed Up...Big Time
When things go bump in the night, Logan bumps back. Vampires,
demons, succubi—you name it, he's fought it. His job as Paladin angel warrior
is to protect humans. Not fall for one.
She Never
Believed in Divine Intervention...Until Now
Detective Jessica Waters protects humans too-with her Glock and a
good set of handcuffs. She doesn't believe in fate. But if anyone looks like a
gift from the gods, it's Logan. And he clearly knows more about her case than
he's letting on...
