The Black Rose will be awarding $10 Amazon or Barnes and Noble GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour.
The series opens as Ives Andrich, Special Agent in Charge
of the New York Division of the FBI, is confronted with investigating the woman
he has waited a lifetime to find. Because of her more than accurate novel about
an Italian crime lord, the Bureau, against Ives' wishes, asks for her help in
infiltrating the internal organization of the nation's most nefarious Mafia
don. When the Bureau’s plan fails, and she becomes dangerously entangled
in the private life of the United States' most wanted criminal, Ives’ tolerance
for Bureau mishaps vanishes. No holds barred, he puts everything on the line to
save the woman he loves in the first book in The Killing Game Series, a
suspense thriller series by The Black Rose.
Excerpt
What was it about this
woman that controlled him? The way he felt, he could betray everything. He
could leave all he knew and run away with her. To hell with the investigation,
the bureau would drag it out forever. To hell with the bureau, he did not need
them. To hell with Luca, let him cheat as many people as he wanted. Who cared
at this point? Allina was his life, and he wanted nothing more than to be with
her, to make love to her; his passion for her went beyond words, as he now
spoke a language only she understood.
Leaving the vulgar world
behind, his actions bore out his thoughts as he laid her back against the seat,
effortlessly maneuvered himself on top of her, and kissed her devotedly. As he
began to lower the zipper of her dress, he felt the car slow to a stop and so
he zipped her back up.
The chauffeur buzzed the
back telephone, which he ignored until it buzzed again. Maddened by the
interruption, he pushed back a side panel and tore the phone from its holder.
“Not now! Drive!” he
insisted, then he slammed the telephone back on the hook.
Without bothering to
close the panel, he felt the car start to move again, and he sighed as he
continued his pursuit of her love. No time remained for romantic words or
prolonged actions. He needed to make love to her before his agents stopped the
car and took her away from him for their mock questioning.
Why he ever agreed to
these tactics, he did not know. He did not know when he would touch her again,
or if she would let him, once she found out the truth. He longed to tell her
what was going to happen, but he could not. His position’s responsibility
immersed him in the case’s confusion, and he could not find the words to make
sense of it all. Making love to her was all that mattered now, all that made
sense to him anymore, all that was real.
He wanted one last
reckless moment as that publisher from Manhattan whom she loved. He wanted to
love her as Ives Andrich, the man she believed she had coincidentally met on a
flight from Phoenix. He wanted to love her as the man he wished he was.
The Black Rose is an
author, photographer, and filmmaker. Born in Chicago, she currently resides in
New York with the love her life, her Hokkaido Dog, Kuma. She began writing at
the age of seven and dabbled until she woke up one day and simply had to write
a novel. She has several 5-Star reviewed novels, both part of individual
series.
She categorizes her novels very
directly; “My writing is deeply rooted interpersonal relationships: people’s
feelings, thoughts, emotions, and the intimacies between two people that truly
love each other despite the circumstances surrounding them.” Her genres are
suspense, thrillers, crime, romance, and espionage. As she says, “I write about
love, honor, and doing the right thing, even when it seems disadvantageous,
even when it’s not the popular path to take.” She sees her writing as a gift
from God, and appreciates and learns from her stories.
Her writing passion stems from her
immense love for art, which began with drawing at age five and moved into oil
painting by age eight. Her love and study of photography soon became a
professional passion, and she spends hours photographing and laying out her
book covers. Readers can visit “Privé
with The Black Rose” showcasing behind-the-scenes insights into her
writing, novels, characters, photography, and films. She films and produces her
book trailers and, in the future, plans to make short films.
