RISE of the ARKANSAS WOLVES

Welcoming back my good friend, Jodi Vaughn and getting lost in her Arkansas Wolves series. First of all, you might recognize Veiled Secrets. It was released a couple of years ago, so I asked: How does VEILED SECRETS now fit into the Arkansas Wolves series?


JODI: Ah… well you see, the first time I wrote the book it didn’t. When I got the rights back and started rewriting VEILED SECRETS I realized I had a great opportunity to set it in the same world as my Arkansas Werewolves. In VEILED SECRETS you’ll see some Easter eggs for my Arkansas Werewolves. As far as timeline goes, VEILED SECRETS takes place the same time as my next ARKANSAS WEREWOLVES book (book 6) does. My heroine Celeste is going to be tied to the Arkansas Pack in a very unique way. But first I needed to tell her story!  

VEILED SECRETS
the 2nd Edition is now a part of the RISE of the ARKANSAS WOLVES

Secrets never stay hidden…especially the magic ones…

Celeste Hart has always known she was different. Growing up in the South, she knows that having prophetic visions makes her a freak, cursed, or worse… evil.

But one night of passion leads to something she never expected… a child on the way, and now, discovering who she is has never been more important. Discovery of her Fae heritage plunges her into a paranormal world she has to accept.

Eric Nordstrom runs his life like he runs his multibillion dollar business… with precision and focus. He never lets his emotions get in the way of what he wants. But Celeste Hart intrigues him with her gentle character even though he can’t help but suspect her motives. 
After blackmailing her into marriage to protect his reputation, his family falls under demonic attacks. And he has to face his own past to protect his new family.

The threat of a supernatural war…

Bound together by more than passion, Celeste and Eric soon realize they will have to work together to defeat the evil headed straight for them. Shadowed by danger they enter a world they didn’t know existed. 

When the Fae and demons collide, all hell will break loose.

SOUTHERN PARANORMAL ROMANCE

VEILED SECRETS

When fairies and demons collide...
...all hell breaks loose.

            Celeste Hart yearns for a normal life, but she has never fit in because of her dark visions. She vows to let nothing stop her from discovering what she is, good, bad or evil. But she is soon distracted from her quest when sexy Eric Nordstrom charms his way into her bed. He leaves her even more confused by her intense feelings for him and discovers their one night of passion has resulted in something that will change them forever, a child.
            CEO Eric Nordstrom has no interest in romance and even less in a relationship. His company has always been his focus. But he can’t stop thinking about the elusive Celeste, who has made him feel more in one night than he has in his entire life. When he learns of the pregnancy, he convinces Celeste to marry him on the pretense of keeping the company from another scandal while trying to seduce her back into his arms.
            Celeste struggles to fit into Eric’s elite world and soon discovers her visions are a result of having Fae blood. When the vengeful Queen of the Fairies sends a demon army to take her unborn child, Celeste must embrace her fairy heritage and enlist Eric’s help in her life and death fight.  Suspicious of a world he doesn’t understand yet determined to protect the woman he loves, Eric joins forces with Celeste to protect their unborn child from the evil that has invaded their home.
            Fate brought them together, will destiny rip them apart?

JODI'S GOTTA ANSWER: Okay, I have no idea which movie she said that in. I’m going to guess, SILENCE OF THE LAMBS. And yes I did try to google the answer. LOL!
I have no idea if men enjoy my southern accent. I didn’t realize I sounded so southern until I heard myself recorded on a writers panel. *still cringing*
