First! Thanks so much for all the kind thoughts while we were all so sick. Oh my gosh. I don't think I've ever had a tummy bug like that one. It was dreadful. Poor kiddo lost like two pounds! :( We're all better now and hoping the rest of the summer is happy and healthy. I was so very sad that I couldn't make the Meet & Greet in Austin (hosted by the wonderfully fabulous ladies behind Beautiful Trouble Publishing.) Next year! Okay. Housekeeping stuff. I had just under 100 entries for the I <3 Sergei buttons so instead of picking 75 or so winners I'm just going to send an email to everyone who entered. I feel like Oprah LOL. You all get buttons! :) You'll have a choice from the four I have: I *Smooch* Sergei, From Russia With Love, Milaya Moya or Angel Moy. The winners for the Loving Day Blop are: Misty, Tara L and Cheri W. I'll send out emails tomorrow to get your mailing addresses. Now the part you all really want! This is the full prologue for NIKOLAI II. There will be more sneak peeks in the next few days--but the readers on the street team get first looks at those. NIKOLAI II (Her Russian Protector #6) Claimed and cherished by Houston's most ruthless mob boss, artist Vivian Kalasnikov embraces her new position as Nikolai's wife and the lonely, dangerous role as queen of Houston's underworld. But Nikolai is keeping secrets from her, and the whispers of a coming street war leave her terrified for the man she so passionately loves—and the tiny life growing inside her. Nikolai finally has everything he's ever wanted—power, wealth and a family with Vivian, the beautiful sun who lights up his dark life. But as his young wife prepares for her debut on the international art stage, he finds himself drawn into a bloody conflict that threatens the quiet life he's painstakingly built. He can feel the promise of his future happiness slipping through his fingers like grains of sand. One wrong move, and he'll lose Vivian and his child forever. One wrong move, and he won't see another sunrise. The sins of their fathers have come back to haunt Vivian and Nikolai. To protect his beloved wife and his heir, he'll do absolutely anything. The brutal gangster who violently conquered the streets of Moscow and Houston is about to be unleashed—and Houston's underworld will never be the same again. Click the PDF button for the prologue. This one is way too long to share here.
