#MFRWauthor BOOK SPOTLIGHT: Tempest @ChantillyWhite

MFRW Author Chantilly White released Tempest, a Mainstream Contemporary Romance, with Snap Dragon Press on March 25, 2014.

"Sometimes it takes a storm to clear the air. . .

A contemporary romance novella, Tempest is the poignant tale of two damaged souls on the verge of losing the most important thing in either of their lives. . . Each other.

One year ago, Tracey and Adam Wesley's relationship was strong, happy, fulfilling. Now, their ten-year marriage is at a terrible crossroads. They stumble through their days, pretending everything is fine, but inside, they fear their love is dying.

Win or lose, the heartbreaking battle for the survival of their marriage ends tonight. Will a push from Mother Nature help them remember just how rare and precious their love truly is, or put an end to it forever?" Tempest is the story of Tracey and Adam, a long-married couple struggling to find their way back to each other after a difficult year. They no longer know if their love story will have a happily-ever-after ending...

What Reviewers Say...
"Emotionally and romantically satisfying, Tempest had me turning the digital page one after another." -J. Tate
EXCERPT
"It’s going to be all right.
Tracey repeated the words to herself, staring into the depths of her still-full glass of dark red wine while a busboy removed her equally untouched meal from the table. Across from her, Adam stared at his own plate as he sawed through his steak with unnecessary force, chewing each bite as though the tender beef had turned to leather in his mouth.
What if it wasn’t all right, though?
Rubbing a hand over her pitching belly, Tracey took a small sip of wine. It was an excellent vintage, a favorite, but it burned going down her throat and bubbled like acid in her stomach. Almost as if she were pregnant, and delicate with it, but the comparison brought only another pang. There was nothing so joyful as a tiny beating heart resting in her womb. Only the weight of her sadness and worry, throwing everything off kilter.
Nothing tasted right. Or smelled right. Or felt right.
Half sick, she shoved the glass away. Keeping their weekly dinner date at Chez Charlie’s had been a mistake. They should have just gone home instead of trying to eat with such an important conversation hanging over their heads, pretending everything was fine. But she hadn’t been able to face one more break in their routine, and pretending had become their way of life. Adam had agreed, both of them clinging to this last, small tradition.
Adam chewed and swallowed, chewed and swallowed. How could he eat? If her throat closed down any more tightly she would choke on nothing more than air.
“Are you all right?” Adam asked, his gorgeous sherry eyes skating over her face, not looking at her directly. His gaze came to rest at a point slightly above her left shoulder.
Tracey nodded jerkily and said, “Fine,” the word rasping over her vocal cords like sandpaper.
She reached for her water glass, then set it back down without taking a drink, afraid she wouldn’t be able to swallow the icy liquid.
“Do you want to. . . talk now?” The fingers clutching his fork were white at the knuckles.
Tension tore through her already shredded emotions. Here, in the restaurant?
“N-no.” She shook her head to emphasize the word. She cleared her throat. “No.”
A heartbeat passed in silence, then two, before Adam nodded and returned his attention to his steak.
She forced a deep breath into her lungs, and another, lightheaded from lack of oxygen and hoping to tame the wild tremors coursing through her body. Nerves made her fingertips numb with anxiety. She twisted them in her lap, while the ‘D’ word trampled all the once-tranquil pathways in her heart.
Divorce.
Di-vorce.
D-I-V-O-R-C-E.
It pulsed in her mind with dark menace, an evil heartbeat. Di-vorce. Di-vorce. Such a cold, awful word. A word that sounded exactly like what it meant. To divide. To forcefully separate into two parts, like an axe blade striking something precious and cleaving it down the middle, leaving only broken pieces behind out of a once-beautiful whole.
Divorce.
As yet unspoken, its specter haunted the battleground of white linen stretched between them while they endured their quietly strained dinner. The oh-so-solicitous passing of bread, the refilling of a glass. Politely formal as they never were, except when an argument was brewing.
Did Adam feel that poisonous ghost creeping along his spine the way she did, digging its sharp-taloned fingers into the tender skin at the base of his throat? Did he recognize the danger, the red-flashing warning signs screaming, Turn back now, before it’s too late?

BOOK SPOTLIGHT: Thunder, Razer 8 @pt_macias #MFRWauthor

MFRW Author P.T. Macias released Thunder, Razer 8, an Erotic Paranormal Thriller Romance on March 21, 2014.

William Davis, Thunder, is a Razer 8 Delta Force operative. He enjoys a dangerous carefree lifestyle along with his identical twin. He’s oblivious to the fact that his mate is close real close.

Thunder’s new mission hauls him into the arms of his mate. Their natural mating is inevitable. The mission keeps them apart.

REVIEWS
This is the first book in this series I have read, but I am definitely going to read them all now. An interesting fast paced story that has suspense and intense sexual attraction. Thunder and Dawn,each a member of a secret elite special ops unit, have a dangerous mission, also an over whelming attraction to each other. Can they do their job or will their lust get in the way? Enjoyed this book very much. -Goodreads Reviewer

I have decided, months ago, that each book from P. T. Macias' pen gets better! Thunder did not disappoint! Thunder is the seventh in a series of books, a series that I hate to see end! The action and suspense in the series does not stop. The romance leaves you wanting more! I can't think of a military romance series that I could ever love more!  Awesome work, P. T. Macias! -Amazon Reviewer

BOOK TRAILER

EXCERPT
It’s early in the morning in Southern California. The sea mist is still thick in the hillside near the coast. Lightning sprints forward, anxious to reach the cliff.

Oh, yes! I’m so excited that I can’t stand it. That’s why I got up extra early to burn up some of this crazy energy running through my blood. Hell, I always take a run when I’m feeling this excited. Everything that we worked for is finally in our hands.

Thunder is happy and excited but not like me. He’s only gone along with me because he always does. He’s my twin and I expect no less. I did the medical school because of him. The great thing is that we have lots of years ahead of us to do both.

Lightning reaches the cliff and raises his snout up, pointing at the fading moon and stars. His ears fold back and he closes his beautiful green eyes. He howls deep and long, expending his excitement. It’s almost sunrise and the moment is momentous for Lightning.

ABOUT P.T. Macias
I was born in San Jose, California and I currently live in Sacramento, California with my family. I have three children. I also enjoy spending quality time with family and friends. I love to read romance and paranormal. I've always dreamed of writing. I graduated from the University of Phoenix with a dual Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management Administration.
