When hopelessness and lust collides, how does one give life to a heart that sings to you like no other?





Growing up, L.V.

Kinsley will do anything to forget she may have killed someone.

No one knows more than Kinsley Lane that nothing good happens when the dead walk free. A year ago, she was possessed by a ghost and her life forever changed.

Luckily, on this All Hallows’ Eve, the witches of Harker Heights have offered her protection from the dead spirits who will roam free. Mac Harker is appointed her guardian and everything goes smoothly, until a mysterious guy arrives on the grounds. One that only Kinsley can see.

Mac is determined to protect her from Charming, leaving Kinsley torn between wanting his protection and the strong pull to a guy who won’t even tell her his real name. She must make a choice; the one she makes leads to the biggest heartbreak, and greatest love she’s ever known.

All over the course of one night.

Excerpt: He opens his eyes and gazes up at me. Standing up, he holds his hands toward me. I place my hands in his and allow him to pull me to my feet.

“You have the fire gift,” I say, looking down.

He chuckles. “Yes.” His lips are close to my ear. My body goes rigid. “There has always been fire in me, Miss Lane.”

“Kinsley.” I correct him again without looking up.

“Yes, Kinsley.” He squeezes his hands around mine. “I need you to take off your clothes.”

I snatch my hands away and gawk up at him. “‘Scuse me?”

His eyes widen, as if he’s surprised by my reaction. God, don’t tell me he’s one of those hot, dense guys. I mean it wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world… But it might be a pain in the ass if he’s a big talker.

I wrap my arms around my chest. “Are you hitting on me?” There is a little bite in my voice.

He stares at me for a few seconds then shakes his head. “Hitting on you?” A nice blush highlights his cheekbones. His very kissable cheekbones. But that isn’t the point.

EXCERPT, CHAPTER THREE

After a brief hesitation, Sky joins me at the mic. Her harmony blends with my melody. Our voices intertwine effortlessly.

At the bridge, I can’t help myself. I get lost in an elaborate guitar solo. It feels so fucking good to have an axe in my hands again, bringing music to life in the way only Savage Saban can. My nerves thrum as my body absorbs the energy that always surrounds me when I play. Audiences ate that shit up, and I fed off their energy, creating a vicious cycle—one that literally almost swallowed me whole.

Thoughts of how the very thing I love killed Kim and almost killed me, is the cold dash of water that awakens me from the musical zone that threatens to overtake me.

As I strum the final chord, I open my eyes, and survey the faces of my audience of three. All staring at me, eyes wide, mouths slack. Sky’s face is flushed in awe. Malik has the widest smile to accompany eyes big with incredulity. Mrs. Samuelson manages to look slightly offended and surprised.

I’ve either impressed the hell out of them or scared the ever-loving fuck out of everyone in the room. I’m not sure which I’d prefer

LV LEWIS’S
EPIC PRE-ORDER & NEW RELEASE GIVEAWAY!!

There’s a lot going on in my world (new job I thought was going to be so great is just as demanding as my previous one; MIL who lives with us is gravely ill; and my collaborations with LaVie EnRose have been stalled but she’s moving on–sometimes without me).

My upcoming release, “European Tour,” debuts on May 17, 2016, and it was all I could do to add about 10K words to the original which appeared in “At Her Service” with a wonderful group of other authors.

Now it’s time to let Brody Kent and Skylar Samuelson have a little limelight of their own. So, to make things more interesting (and lucrative for some), I’m having an Epic Pre-Order/New Release Giveaway to say thanks for your support and to welcome new readers.

TO ENTER: All you have to do is provide proof of your $0.99 EUROPEAN TOUR pre-order by May 17, 2016.

Don’t worry, if you miss this deadline, you have until May 25th to purchase the book for an entry as well. But shortly after release, the price of the book goes up to its original $3.49, so it’s best you get it while it’s in pre-order.

Then there are bonus entries to help improve your chances of winning one of the major prizes and possibly a bonus prize!

THE GRAND PRIZE is an AMAZON KINDLE FIRE Loaded with LV LEWIS ‘s (and her collab partner, LaVie EnRose) Backlist (That’s Eight books already on your kindle when you receive it)!

THE SECOND PRIZE is a $50 AMAZON GIFTCARD which should make one of my book-loving readers very happy. You could buy quite a few books with that haul (or a few, depending on how much you want to spend on each book).

AND FINALLY, THIRD PRIZE is three signed paperbacks from THE JUNGLE FEVER SERIES, to include Fifty Shades of Jungle Fever, Exit Strategy, and The Venture Capitalist!

AND last but not least, there will be BONUS PRIZES awarded. EVERY 50th entry shall receive one of LV’s Audiobooks, so depending on how many pre-orders there are, there could be 10s of 100s of WINNERS!

So, get clicking (the link or graphic below) and WIN!

There is no subject more titillating or more rich in story fodder than the music industry. No matter the genre of music, there is the artistic side of music that inspires and uplifts, then there’s the seamy side of the industry that involves every deadly sin known to man.

Yet, those of us who love music, including its creators and consumers, wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. In fact, my earliest memories as a child involved hearing music played (and sung) around our home. Coming from a large family, we didn’t own much in the way of material things, but we had a radio (the B&W television would come later), and it stayed tuned to the local Jazz or Rhythm & Blues radio stations, where we heard the likes of Billie Holiday, Martha and The Vandellas, Miles Davis, Otis Redding, Ray Charles, Etta James, Nina Simone, Ike and Tina Turner, James Brown, Diana Ross and The Supremes, Smokie Robinson, Stevie Wonder, Aretha Franklin, and I could go on and on. These are just a few of the wonderful musicians my parents introduced me to, and besides the gospel music we sang in church, these artists’ songs were what we cut our teeth on.

As I grew older, I stretched my love for music to include other genres that my parents didn’t expose me to–classical, country, folk, latin american and most notably rock and roll. The lists of artists I love expanded to include Mozart, Beethoven, Johnny Cash, Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, The Avett Brothers, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Lynrd Skynrd, The Allman Brothers, The Doors, Peter Frampton, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Jeff Buckley, Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire, Creed, Nickelback,  Nirvana, The Foo Fighters, Adele,  Corinne Bailey Rae, Alabama Shakes, and many more.  My love for these genres of music came from watching variety shows on television, and being exposed to other ethnicities and the genres of music they liked, in addition to going off to college where music appreciation was a prerequisite for every college student seeking a good liberal arts education.

Music has seen me through every significant rite of passage in my life, including puberty, my first love, a broken heart, difficult times in relationships, high school, college, the deaths of loved ones, writing and the list continues to this day. That is why when we lose icons in the music industry, we mourn as if they are our own, because we recognize that the gift they have given us transcends blood relations. Their artistry knits us together in ways we can’t deny nor comprehend.

When I decided to begin another series of multicultural characters in my newest book, European Tour, I decided that it would be a story set in the world of music. It was one of the ways I could pay homage to an art form that has given me so much–an opportunity to give back to it the same way it has poured richness and beauty into my life.

In the same way that music expresses many feelings and evokes so much emotion in us, this story I have written is rife with conflict, and the uncomfortable stuff of life, which is the essential constituent of every good story.

European Tour releases on May 17, 2016

The limited edition paranormal boxed set Be Witched includes The Deepest Black by Rainy Kaye. This is just one witchy story in a collection of 21 page-turning, full length novels for only $.99! Order your copy today!

Ember has a little problem…fairies want her dead.

Ember spends her Friday nights lurking in the bad parts of town, killing fairies. It’s either that, or become a victim to their flesh-eating hunger.

Then she meets Remy, a fae who, despite getting on her nerves, isn’t evil. He tells her that a shadow has been consuming his world, changing its inhabitants and letting destructive beasts into his city. He is searching for his brother who went missing during the catastrophe.

When a team of mercenaries come for Ember, she has little choice but to join Remy in his quest. Together, they decide to bait a trap. What they find reveals the destruction of the fae world means the end of the human world, too–and it’s Ember’s fault.
