A Visit from Author Sheri Velarde aka Kelly Ryan!

Not So Silent Night by Kelly Ryan
 
Thanks H.K. for letting me stop by today! It's a pretty exciting day for me as it is the release date of my new shifter/holiday novella, Not So Silent Night! Nothing says Merry Christmas like magic in the air and some hot shifters to help keep you warm! I know that this is a very busy time of year, that people are getting ready for the holidays, so I will keep this short and to the point. Ebooks make great Christmas gifts and don't require any wrapping, so I hope you will take a minute to read a little about my new release and think about getting it for yourself or as a gift. While you are at Breathless Press, take a look around, there are amazing authors there! I know H.K., you have a book that will soon be there too!
 
Blurb:
Another lonely Christmas approaches for Anna and her life of penance—until the otherworldly Alexander appears.
Anna is a lonely woman, running her dead grandmother's flower shop. She hates Christmas and could not feel more lost when a handsome and mysterious Russian, Alexander, walks into her shop and her life. Each has secrets and magic they are harboring. Just as their passion erupts, the good old boys in town threaten to ruin everything. Getting to know each other is tough for most couples, but with a pack of werewolves out to destroy them, things become intense. They find themselves in a fight for their lives. Can their newfound love give them the strength to win against this threat and trust in the future?
 
Excerpt:
"So you just got the quick sketch of my life, so perhaps I can ask where you are from. I love your accent."
"Russia. I grew up right outside of Moscow."
"Russia? Wow! What brings you to small town Vermont? Other than the snow, I can't imagine we are anything like Moscow," Anna said in true wonderment.
"My family came to visit and we wanted to go somewhere quiet. I live in Washington, D.C. now. Here seemed like a good spot for a vacation. And I must say I am glad we picked this town on a whim." Alexander moved even closer to her, close enough they were almost touching and he could gently stroke her hair, sending a visible shiver down her back. "I am not making you uncomfortable, am I?"
Anna swallowed. "No, uncomfortable is not exactly the word for what you are making me feel." She turned around so she stared up into Alexander's deep blue eyes. They were close enough for her to kiss his full lips and she found herself wanting to very much.
"You are a very beautiful woman, Anna." Alexander stepped even closer so their bodies touched. Anna immediately felt heat rush all through her body from only a little contact. She felt her own blue eyes widen in anticipation.
"Thank you," Anna murmured, feeling a blush spread across her face, so evident on her pale skin. "So are you... I mean, you are very attractive too."
Alexander smiled and leaned down so his lips almost touched hers. "I am going to kiss you now, Anna, unless you tell me not to."
"Umm, okay." Anna's breath grew heavier as Alexander brought his lips to meet hers.
