Romance Paranormal

Sadie’s days fighting off greedy claim jumpers ended in 1856 when Osiris snatched her from her filthy room and placed her with a trio of phoenixes. After 150 years living a respectable life saving souls, she’s tired of playing by the god’s rules. It’s time the master of manipulation learned her creed: live hard, play for keeps, and never let the enemy see you suffer.

Osiris never imagined the true queen he’s spent two millennia searching for would be a half-pint redhead with a mouth that makes him blush. She needs a gentle hand to breach her defenses, but living with her and keeping his natural arrogance at a simmer proves a challenge worthy of any champion.

While Osiris teaches her the wisdom needed to rule a world with fairness, the irritating god only intensifies Sadie’s belief in her creed, reinforcing the walls that keep her from happiness. If Osiris can’t win her hardened heart, Sadie’s ascension might threaten the world he’s struggled to create.

Re: The Last Beginning

My worst was when my dear, thoughtful man
decided oops and ran to cvs got a card, hair
products, soap, condoms, and wine. Let me back
that up with, I don't drink and I have a
hysterectomy..I was horrified, filled with
suspicion. The moment things were handed to
me one at a time out of the bag I was beyond a
boiling point and mortified. The look of disdain
was apparently on my face as he slowly collected
the items, afterall it wasn't as fast as I would like,
and promptly returned the presents. Uggh, what
a memory.

I am sorry to both of you having a bad V Day....I would too ve upset...I can't say that I have had a bad one..but I choose that day to be our anniversary so that he wouldn't forget..at least he better not!!
(
Dawn Staniszeski 10:18am February 19, 2012)

Carla, you can tell from what he bought, he was in a panic. :) Gah, that's funny. Probably not so much then. Thank you so much for sharing.

Dawn, you are a smart cookie. :) And, yes, you can give him grief if he does forget. lol.

My hubby usually is ok on valentine's day although he is the candy eater so I get him the chocolates. :) I think the only times I had bad Valentine's Days it was because he was out of town and I was home without him. For years if it fell during the week we would not be together. Like you I realized that appreciating my time with him when he is home is way more important than if we give way to much money to a store for a couple of pieces of paper and some sugar.

This year, I did get a nice card from my hubby, but that was it. He was asleep on the couch by 7:15. I don't worry about it though. I think Valentine's Day is way too commercialized and over-hyped. There's too much pressure on guys to make it something special. I'm lucky that my guy shows me he loves me in lots of little ways everyday.
(
Catherine Lee 1:03pm February 19, 2012)

Well, I'm single so no big heartbreaking valentines story. And no exceedingly high expecatations. But my nehpews call and wished me a happy valentines day. So that was perfect.
(
Pam Howell 1:11pm February 19, 2012)

I'm rendered speechless with the first comment. Why would your man get condoms when you've had the plumbing removed. Wow!
(
Molly Wilsbacher 2:08pm February 19, 2012)

It is just another day in my home, no epic fail just not celebrated or remembered.
(
Darci Paice 2:13pm February 19, 2012)

Patti, I love that he loves the sweets. :)

Catherine, I think we were both in bed by nine, lol. Not much romance going on.

Pam, you have super sweet nephews.

Molly, I was thinking the same thing, lol.

Darci, yours was probably the nicest then. :)

I have 2 say since my husband and I have been together I haven't had a
bad valentine day for which I am thankful
(
Tabitha Monroe 4:18pm February 19, 2012)

My worst Valentine's Day ever was when my (now ex) husband removed his wedding band, told me he lost it (ha! ha! when he never took it off) and I found it in the ashtray of his car, where he often kept loose change, because he's a non-smoker. I decided to keep it and not disclose that I had it. He never missed it! Why? He had a girlfriend and was going to church with her! She wouldn't want the congregation to think she was with a married man! Who was she fooling (only her mother, from what I was told). So much for the romance...we got divorced a year later (after separating). They got married. It still feels bad or ugly to me, because we had such a wonderful marriage until she started working with him and hitting on him because her marriage failed (crying on his shoulder at work, so she could get hugs and sympathy from my man of 27 yrs.).

I guess when I was single? That was always a tough day...
(
May Pau 6:25pm February 19, 2012)

I would have to say it would be when my Husband got off work and spent time with the guys, then came home. At the time, it got me a little upset, but now I understand that he was just blowing off some steam from his job. When he lost it after 7 years, it was a curse as well as a Godsend. Now we are closer than ever, and living in a quieter and calmer area that suits us better.

Worst Valentine Day is bumping into my ex unexpectedly and I was still single at the time while he has moved on.
(
Kai Wong 8:26pm February 19, 2012)

My worst was getting car wash coupons. He gave them to twice.
(
Debra Guyette 8:46pm February 19, 2012)

i am single so i worked!!
(

My worst was when my husband was stationed in Korea for a year. Valentine day was not the same. Thanks for giving me a chance to win your book.
(
Linda Hall 10:20pm February 19, 2012)

This is my first Valentine since I got divorced. It was pretty sucky !
(
Amy Milne 10:49pm February 19, 2012)

I had school, received all my chocolates and cards from my friends....THEN I HAD A SORE THROAT!! So I couldn't eat all those Toblerone Bars...Haha. It's not really epic, just that I'm a HUGE chocolate fan, so it was a big thing for me. Those sinful bars within reach but I couldn't even smell it. Sigh.. Haha. X)

Single... no dinner or gifts or kisses
(
Colleen Conklin 1:06pm February 20, 2012)

No epic fail, it's been hit or miss. This year, he drove me to work and we went out afterwards. Nice!
(
Lisa Elwood 4:21pm February 20, 2012)

No epic fail, just things are changing. I lost my husband a few years ago but this year made me think. My son was busy with his family (which he should be) and my daughter was out with her boy friend (that's great) and I'm not dating anyone so I was at home reading. The day came and went and made me think ' new beginning, time for me to get out there and find something I like?' Everyone enjoyed themselves so that's was good and my book was great. Hope yours was good. Thanks

Valentine's is not a big deal for us. I want love & adoration all year thank you & vice versa.
