He was born to love her, but will she allow herself to be loved? 


Amaris comes from a poor broken family where she was never loved. On the night of her 19th birthday, she meets Gustavo, handsome, eloquent, wealthy. When he tells her that he is destined to love her, she rejects the idea, but the mysterious sparks that fly every time they touch, stop her in her tracks.

Gustavo reveals to Amaris that they both belong to an ancient order of the Moon, and he is born to be only with her, to love and protect her. When she falls violently sick, and only Gustavo knows how to save her, they are forced to travel across the world where Amaris discovers her true self and wakes up the powers that could start a war between two feuding ancient clans.

When the fight breaks out, and Gustavo and others are kidnapped, Amaris has to accept who she is and step into her power to save the ones she loves.

Snippet:

She chuckled. “Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're so clever. But honestly, you knew me for less than 48 hours, and you bought me an expensive gift. I know you have money and all that, but it’s just not right.”

“Well, I don’t see what the amount of time I’ve known you has anything to do with helping a young lady in need.”

He bowed theatrically, but his smile faltered when he saw the expression on her face. “I’m not in need,” she bristled. “I don’t know if you took it upon yourself to make me your charity case or something, but I have taken care of myself this whole time, and I can take care of myself still.”

She raised her chin defiantly, but the pained look in his eyes took the wind out of her sails. “You are not my charity case, Amaris!” he cried out, grabbing his head with his hands. “You are my… Ah, damn it!”

He threw his hands up and turned, walking away from her before stopping, resigned. He looked up at the Moon, then his shoulders slumped, and he hung his head down.
Amaris, thrown off by his reaction and especially his words, stared at him, not knowing what to say. After a moment, she leaned the bike on its kick-stand and strolled towards Gustavo. She slowly put her hand on his back.

He spun around and his eyes burned into hers, the electricity sparking. Her breath caught, her hand falling by her side. He raised his hands and took her face gently, his eyes searching hers. “You are not my charity case,” he said, intensity in his voice.
She looked up, afraid to move. “What am I to you, then? Why does this always happen, this spark?”

“This spark means something. I want to tell you so much… what it all means… but I don’t want you to run away.” He closed his eyes and leaned his forehead against hers.

The feelings she never thought would happen now swept through her, making it hard to breathe. The way he held her felt like something she only read about in stories fit for the extraordinary, unique, beautiful women that had it all.

He opened his eyes and leaned his head back. He scanned her facial features, taking her in, and then his eyes stopped on her lips. He leaned in, paused for a moment, and then lightly brushed her lips with his own. She gasped, surprised, but he didn’t relent and planted a soft kiss on her trembling lips.

Book Blitz: Camping in High Heels by Miki Bennett



With a passion for wholesome adventure, Miki Bennett is the author of two contemporary women's fiction series - A Florida Keys Romance and Camping In High Heels. A deep love of the beach and life-long experience in the RV and camping world led her to write romance novels that bring humor and paradise to readers' finger tips.

Beyond her beautiful writing skills, she is an artist and craftswoman, and has earned numerous awards for such. Her stories touch the hearts of not only beach lovers and RVers, but those in the arts community and the crafts community.

Her talents and experiences truly run wide and deep. From being the self-called, resident family tech geek to her painting, crocheting and photogrpahy abilities to living with a chronic illness to having grown up and worked in a family business to becoming an author, Miki Bennett never has a dull moment.

She lives in Charleston, South Carolina with her husband, Jeff and their little dog Emma. They are a blended family with three grown children thus consider themselves empty nesters.

Miki also lives with a rare, incurable, invisible illness called Mastocytosis in which patients can have life threatening allergic type reactions to the simplest of things. She is also a cancer survivor after undergoing treatment for Uterine Cancer in 2002. She is now on a mission to help others who deal with “invisible diseases”: the patient looks fine to the outside world but can be dealing with debilitating symptoms - something that can be very stress producing for the patient both mentally and physically. Miki believes it is her creativity through writing and art that helps her deal with a chronic illness in a positive, uplifting way.

How does a first-class, five-star, travel blogger widen her horizons? With a few words from one of her loyal readers.

Kate has always loved writing about the best in food, nightlife, and accommodations around the world. In fact, she’s never had to “rough it” in her vast array of travels. But that changes when she’s publicly challenged into hitting the road just like an average person.

Though terrified of everything she doesn’t know about camping, things become brighter when she bumps into fellow camper, Brandon. Seeming to run into one another at each campground, it gets harder for Kate to ignore the sparks between them.

As Kate travels west in her motor home, she experiences a brand new kind of adventure: tackling bathhouses, tarantulas, and even bats! But as she learns to appreciate the great outdoors, Kate starts to wonder if this might also be an adventure of the heart.






Snippet:

“I’m glad to see that you have confidence in yourself.  That is always a good thing when you are learning something new.  And I can tell that you have never own an RV or probably even slept in a tent,” Brandon said as he fell in step beside her.
     “Why does everyone keep saying that? I feel like I’m display or something.”  Kate was now feeling embarrassed once more.
     “Hey, at some point all of us were in your shoes.  Well, maybe not your high heels.”
     Kate felt the color drain from her face.  He saw her last night.  Her wobbly, awkward walk to her camper. “What are you talking about?” she said feigning innocence.
     “Last night I thought you were pretty drunk till I saw you all dressed up with those heels on.  It’s a wonder you didn’t sprain your ankle the way you were walking last night.  It seemed like you must have hit every piece of gravel on the road.”  Brandon chuckled once more and Kate blushed now as they continued their walk toward the store.

 A mother’s secrets threaten a daughter’s future…

Bethany Waterbury left Hollywood and the shadow of
her mother's death to give herself a fresh start. Her
main intention—to connect with the family she’d never
really had the chance to know.

Author Kent Black is enjoying his chart topping
success and living freely wherever his travels take him.
But when he meets the illustrious Bethany Waterbury
his wanderlust subsides and the thought of a steady
future begins to take over.

Kent believes in happily ever after, but the burden of
Bethany’s past might be too much for him to embrace
—unless true love is more powerful than a Hollywood tragedy.

 Ready for a snippet!?!


“Bethany?” he called as if they were old friends.
      She felt the blood drain from her head. She didn’t know him did she?
He moved quickly around Mrs. Talbot and straight to her. “Hi, sorry, had to
get away from her. I’m Kent. I know you’re Bethany. I’m a big fan. Not a stalker
kind of person at all, just a big fan. I’m thankful for the water. That is for me
right?” She nodded and handed him the glass. “Thanks,” he said as he took the
glass and began drinking. “She’s weird, that woman,” he whispered. “Thanks for
saving me.”
      “Do I know you?” she asked softly.
       Kent took her arm and led her to the table at the front of the room. It was
obviously a tactic to keep people from coming up to him, by keeping her close.
      “No. Sorry.” He set his water on the table and held his hand out to shake
hers. “Formal intro now. Kent Black.”
      “Bethany Waterbury.”
      “I really like your work. I saw you the other day. I didn’t know it was you, but
I saw you.”
      She narrowed her eyes on him. “You saw me?”
      “You were having coffee with some man. I think he was your brother.”
      “How do you know that?”
      His cheeks flushed and he wiped his hand over his forehead. “Oh, well, the
coffee shop was full. I saw you looking for a table. I was going to invite you to
sit with me. You sat with some man and then when you left, you smiled at me,
and then said something to him about having lunch with Dad.”
     God, he was a crazy mess too, this man who kept her up all night.
