RED FIRE CONTEST!

If ever you’ve wished to have a sexy Spartan warrior at your beck and call, then Deidre Knight's Not-So-Flat Ajax contest (so named as a tribute to his, ahem, considerable assets) is your dream come true!

Ajax Petrakos, immortal Spartan warrior and hero of Deidre’s first Gods of Midnight novel, RED FIRE (Signet Eclipse, October 2008), has searched endlessly for Shayanna Angel, his soul-mate who was promised to him by the Oracle at Delphi 2,500 years ago. Ajax would do anything to locate this minx of a mortal, but he’s nearly lost faith that he will ever find her. Recently, rumors and rumblings are afoot that Shayanna has been spotted in modern-day U.S.A.

This is where you come in - your opportunity to assist a noble Spartan who has spent an eternity protecting you and all of humankind. Your mission is to take Ajax to a locale in your city (an historical site, a restaurant, the lake, your home), snap a photo of you and Ajax (keep it clean, ladies!), fill out the entry form on www.DeidreKnight.com, upload the photo and voilĂ  - you’re entered to win a Nintendo© Wii or another great prize! Act quickly, because the first 100 entrants to upload their photos will receive a copy of RED FIRE.

HOSTAGE TO PLEASURE
by Nalini Singh

September 2008 - Berkley

With her darkly seductive Psy/Changeling world, Nalini Singh has created "a sensual, dangerous adventure not to be missed" (New York Times bestselling author Lora Leigh). Now, as the deadly Psy Council tightens its grip, a rebel Psy scientist finds herself at the mercy of a changeling who has sworn vengeance against her kind...

Separated from her son and forced to create a neural implant that will mean the effective enslavement of her psychically gifted race, Ashaya Aleine is the perfect Psy--cool, calm, emotionless...at least on the surface. Inside, she's fighting a desperate battle to save her son and escape the vicious cold of the PsyNet. Yet when escape comes, it leads not to safety, but to the lethal danger of a sniper's embrace.

DarkRiver sniper Dorian Christensen lost his sister to a Psy killer. Though he lacks the changeling ability to shift into animal form, his leopard lives within. And that leopard's rage at the brutal loss is a clawing darkness that hungers for vengeance. Falling for a Psy has never been on Dorian's agenda. But charged with protecting Ashaya and her son, he discovers that passion has a way of changing the rules...
