    Fool’s Gold by Cari Davis

    Penniless and estranged from her wealthy family in New Orleans, widow, Doña Melissa Bertrand de Cabrillo must barter her way from California to Louisiana in order to save her niece, even if it means posing as the wife of a perfect stranger.
    Gold miner and banker, Sebastian Henderson, needs to find a wife soon…or at least a woman willing to play the role. Doña Melissa provides the perfect solution, but sharing a cabin with the tempting southern belle proves more challenging than their bargain–and more dangerous–after a passenger aboard their steamship is murdered. Melissa is convinced the death is connected to her family’s events in New Orleans.
    Thrown together by necessity, united by love, Melissa and Sebastian must unravel a murderous scheme threatening to tear them apart.

    Genre Paranormal Romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    In the shadows of the night, there exists a band of warriors–a group of vampires, known as the Alpha Council. Their formidable leader, Stephan von Haas, has vowed to protect not only his kind, but the humans existing alongside them. His duty comes before all else–until a sassy blonde saunters into his life.
    When a sensual, dark-haired stranger walks into Katrina Spencer’s life, he stirs her deepest desires and sweeps her into a world beyond her wildest dreams. But when Katrina is targeted by Stephan’s enemies, reality shifts into something violent and deadly, as she is thrust into a realm where vampires stalk the shadows and vengeance is coming for her.
    Together they will confront an extraordinary destiny of peril, passion, and dark pleasures. But when one horrid mistake brings retribution, their love may pay the price.

    Introducing Stephan von Haas

    Please tell me about yourself.
    Age: 650ish…I think. Honestly, I stopped counting after my 300th birthday.
    Gender: Male
    Birthplace: Germany
    Profession: Entrepreneur
    Ethnicity: Caucasian
    Species (for scifi/fantasy characters): vampire
    What do you look like?
    I’m a 6 ft 5 in warrior with dark brown hair and sapphire-blue eyes. I may be over 600 years old, but I’m told I don’t look a day over 35.
    Who is the significant other in your life?
    Katrina Spencer is my heartmate. She is amazing. She’s a strong-willed, leggy blonde, with gray-blue eyes that will draw you in. She is kind and loving. The day I found out she was my heartmate, was one of the luckiest days of my life.
    Are you book-smart, self-taught, widely-experienced?
    Yes. You don’t live hundreds of years without learning in multiple ways. I believe in learning everything the world has to offer.
    What is your viewpoint on wealth?
    I live extravagantly. I am fortunate to have a lot, but I am generous. I believe in giving back, helping others. It’s part of the reason why I established the Alpha Council, to help those who can’t help themselves.
    On what special skills do you rely?
    My fighting skills. Being the leader of the Alpha Council is a great responsibility. I must not only lead the men, but also lead the fight. I work hard to make sure I stay in top fighting shape and keep my skills as sharp as the blades I carry.
    What past event causes you the most fear?
    My heartmate was kidnapped and tortured. I’ve never been so scare. If anything happened to Katrina, I could not be held responsible for what I would do.
    What is your biggest need?
    To make the world a safer place, a place where my heartmate (and one day my children) can move about without fear for their safety.
    If you could make any one thing happen, what would it be?
    I would give my heartmate the child she so desperately wants. Unfortunately, having children is biologically difficult for vampires.

    Brenda Sparks has always loved all things spooky and enjoys incorporating paranormal elements in her writing. She refuses to allow pesky human constraints to get in the way of telling the story. Luckily the only thing limiting her stories is her imagination. Her characters are strong, courageous, and she adores spending time with them in their imaginary world.
    Her idea of a perfect day is one spent in front of a computer with a hot cup of coffee, her fingers flying over the keys to send her characters off on their latest adventure.
