Happy Monday! Today's guest is Layana Pimentel, with A Gift From Fate. Enjoy!
BLURB
After colliding with a stunning vision in white, retired Staff Sergeant Brent Daniels offers to drive the beautiful stranger to a hotel for the night, but instead discovers he’s with one very lost creature. He’s bewitched by her sinful curves, her dark and mesmerizing eyes, and the pull at his soul with each minute passing. Nevertheless, he can’t shake the feeling she’s hiding something.
Melpomene, daughter of Zeus, finds her handsome rescuer resembles the man who has continuously haunted her dreams. Before long, she’s in his arms, wanting more. Knowing their days are numbered, desperation leads her to reach out for help by an unlikely ally.
Just how far will these two lovers go, and what will they sacrifice to be together?

EXCERPT
“My name is Melp—Mel
Pomene.” She’d nearly given herself away. Zeus, her father, would have heard had
she whispered her name. Her father. Heavens, he’d turn the mortal realm upside
down if he suspected she was here. And right now, she desired nothing more than
to stay a little longer. With any lucky,
I’ll return before he notices.
“Well, Mel, it’s a pleasure
to make your acquaintance. Your last name is rather unusual. I assume you’re
not from these parts?”
His question silenced any
thoughts drifting through her mind at that moment. A new kind of tension rose
within her. She couldn’t disclose her origins or who she was. Guilt settled in
her stomach for leaving her sisters behind, but she wasn’t given a choice. The Fates
dropped her here, only mentioning an experience for three days…provided Zeus
didn’t find out. Only the Gods knew what he’d do if he found her cavorting
around without a proper escort.
“Earth to Mel? Are you all right?”
“Yes, I am. I’m just
thinking of home, which is Greece. I’ve come to the United States for an
adventure, it would seem.”
He chuckled before she’d
finished speaking.
“What is so amusing?”
“The mere mention of seeking
adventure after getting lost is rather comical, nothing else, sweetheart.” He
removed his right hand from the wheel and petted her knee. The warmth of his
hand stirred an unfamiliar emotion within. This was the man from her dream.
Those hands had touched parts of her body no mortal would have dared, and here
she sat, wishing he’d do more than pat her.
