Firefly ~ Book #2
“The darkest days are
ahead of us,” Andrew whispered as the drape of shadows slipped away,
allowing Blair to awaken. And in her heart of hearts she knew it was
true. The unmistakable signs were all around her, growing within her.
She was becoming something more than human. All she could do was accept
the inevitable. “I’ve become a freak … an alien. I no longer belong to the human world,” Blair told her true love, and he held her close, determined never to give her up.
“I’d stay in this darkness forever as long as I could be with you. Wherever you are … that’s my home.” Everett meant every word. In fact, he’d willingly give up his own life to protect the girl he’d always loved.
But there was a storm brewing … a firestorm so strong and catastrophic that it could keep them apart forever.
That storm roared into town wearing a brown leather bomber jacket and riding a motorcycle.
Ash was like a secret in human clothing … a dangerous secret. Everything about him was mesmerizing – right down to the swirls of ink that flowed over the smooth muscles across his chest and around his arms. Being with him was like playing with fire.
Blair knew all about playing with fire.
She knew something else, too. A small quiet voice deep within whispered that she really would be separated from everyone and everything she’d known and loved.
Because some secrets run too deep.

Blair
Reynolds was born to rule. Worlds, that is. Destined to reign over an
ancient intergalactic race, it may seem her fate is written in the
stars. But she’s willing to risk it all for another chance to spend
forever with her true love – even if it means traveling through time and
space to the other side of the universe. As far as Ash is concerned, Blair's happily-ever-after involves him, not the mere mortal with whom she seems so infatuated. She was bequeathed to him by her father, and Ash will go to any lengths to keep Blair and her true love apart.
And Ash isn’t the only one.
Deep in the jungles of Brazil, where tribal drums call to Blair and her true love, other forces carry out dangerous secret plans.
However, Blair has secrets of her own … secrets so lethal she dares not even remember them.
Secrets so painful they could ruin everything.
Because some secrets kill.

Belle couldn't be prouder of her new release. Here's what she had to say:
"MONARCH has been a long time coming. It was the
most difficult of my books to write, and there's more than one reason
for that. I think the most important reason is that quality takes time.
So, I listened to some really great music and allowed the story to unfold in my imagination. I've got a great inspiration playlist for MONARCH on Spotify. But this one song encapsulates not only MONARCH, but the whole trilogy. In fact, this song is the official theme song for MONARCH. The awesomely talented Kyler England gave me permission to use this song for the book trailer, which is still in production.

Check out Kyler's music here. I know you'll love all her music as much as I do!
My characters wanted this book to be the best it could be for my readers. They wanted their story to be told correctly. So I took the time and listened to my characters while following them from Texas to deep in the jungles of Brazil. Judging from the feedback of my beta readers and a couple of fellow authors, I think my effort paid off. I hope all my readers will agree!" ~ Belle
