Fury of a Highland Dragon
by Coreene Callahan
GENRE: Paranormal
Romance
BLURB:
Trapped by a
future she refuses to face…
Accused of
cyber espionage by the United States government, ethical hacker Ivy Macpherson
is now on the FBI’s most wanted list. Out of options, she runs, desperate for
time to prove her innocence. When fate takes an unexpected turn, bringing her
face-to-face with Tydrin, she must decide—trust a man more dangerous than the
hunters on her trail to keep her safe. Or risk capture by a covert agency well
known for ruthlessness.
Condemned by
a past he doesn’t want to remember…
Cursed with
a terrible temper, Scottish dragon-warrior Tydrin struggles to atone for a
mistake that took innocent lives. Unable to forgive himself, he returns to the
scene of his crime in hopes of finding absolution, but discovers a woman in
need of his help instead. Intervening in the nick of time, he whisks Ivy to
safety, only to realize the daughter of the family he wronged is the one
destined to steal his heart.
Excerpt
To kill or not to kill. That was the
question.
Gaze locked on the FBI agent, Tydrin
debated a moment. It wouldn’t take much. A flick of his fingers. A little
swirl, a lot of arm action combined with a burst of magic and…poof gone.
Fireball central and two dead agents, nothing but human ash spread over the
cruel lines of a desolate cemetery. Kind of fitting, actually. Way too
tempting, but well…shite. He couldn’t do it. Not with the lass in his arms and
his dragon half in full protection mode.
Ivy needed help, not added trouble.
And a couple of dead agents? Tydrin
pursed his lips. Aye. For sure. Not the best way to get on the lass’s good
side.
Under his influence, soothed by his
magic, he cradled her closer. She sighed and settled in, curling up like a well
fed kitten in his arms. The underside of his chin brushed the top of her head.
Her long damp hair clung to his skin, getting caught in old day stubble. He
rubbed his mouth over the soft strands. A sense of peace invaded him body, mind
and heart. His muscles loosened, releasing some of the tension. He exhaled in
relief. Hmm, she was sweet. So alluring with her dark red hair and pale,
freckled skin. Far too pretty to be a fugitive. Hunted. Trapped. Wanted by the
FBI.
Way too vulnerable without him to
protect her.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Growing
up as the only girl on all-male hockey team, Coreene Callahan knows a thing or
two about tough guys and loves to write characters inspired by them. Call it
kismet. Call it payback after years of locker room talk and ice rink antics,
but whatever you call it, the action better be heart stopping, the magic
electric, and the story wicked, good fun.
After
graduating with honors in psychology and working as an interior designer, she
finally gave in and returned to her first love: writing. Her debut novel, Fury
of Fire, was a finalist in the New Jersey Romance Writers Golden Leaf Contest
in two categories: Best First Book and Best Paranormal. She combines her love
of romance, adventure and writing with her passion for history in her novels.
She lives in Canada with her family, a fun-loving golden retriever, and her
wild imaginary world.

B/N GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour.
