South of Surrender Release Day Blitz Giveaway
I am thrilled to welcome Chrysander
Notos to the world today! Chrys is the hero of South of Surrender, the third book in my Greek-mythology inspired
Hearts of the Anemoi series. The Anemoi were wind gods the Greeks associated
with controlling the wind, the weather, and the seasons, and as the summer god,
Chrys is the hottest of them all! Need more proof? Check out this hot excerpt
and the giveaway that follows!
Unable
to resist the draw to her any longer, Chrys claimed her mouth, devouring,
searching, taking.
Laney
froze, then was right there with him.
Their
tongues met, dueled, twirled. He fisted his hand in her hair and guided her,
deepening when he wanted, restraining her when he needed.
Her
hands slid up his chest toward his neck.
Chrys
gasped into the kiss, but fought the reflexive desire to pull away. Instead, he
pushed her back one step, then another, until her back encountered the door. He
grabbed her arms and pressed them to the surface over her head. The control
flooded relief through him and fueled his arousal another notch.
“I
want to touch you,” she whispered around a kiss.
His
brain scrambled for a moment, and then he wedged his body in tighter, the ridge
of his cock coming in snug against her belly. She unleashed a strangled moan as
Chrys plundered her mouth, relished her sweet taste, bathed in her life-giving
heat.
Good
gods, her body was absolutely alive with her arousal. She clenched and
unclenched her hands, her arm muscles flexing where he restrained her. Her
abdomen writhed against his, creating a maddening friction against his
erection. Her thighs shifted and squeezed.
It
was only with the barest of restraint that he resisted willing her clothing
away, turning her to face the wall, and tugging her hips out so he could bury
himself deep.
Lost
in the imagery, Chrys didn’t notice the change in her movements until she
slowly dragged her injured leg up the outside of his. Her wrists pressed
against his hold and a yearning moan worked up her throat. “Chrys,” she
whimpered, her thigh moving higher and wrapping around.
His
pulse lunged into a sprint. Damnit. He pulled back and stepped away, the
phantom feeling of her flesh trapping his spiking fear through him. “I’m
sorry,” he said, rubbing his lips, regret a rock in his stomach. He could still
feel her, taste her. Making sure she was steady on her feet, he dropped his
hands from holding hers.

About South of Surrender:
She's the only one who can see through his
golden boy façade to the broken god within...
Chrysander Notos, Supreme God of the South Wind and Summer, is on a mission: save Eurus from his death sentence and prove his troubled brother can be redeemed. But Eurus fights back, triggering vicious storms that threaten the mortal realm and dangerously drain Chrys.
Laney Summerlyn refuses to give up her grandfather's horse farm, despite her deteriorating vision. More than ever, she needs the organized routine of her life at Summerlyn Stables, until a ferocious storm brings an impossible—and beautiful—creature crashing down from the heavens.
Injured while fighting Eurus, Chrys finds himself at the mercy of a mortal woman whose compassion and acceptance he can't resist. As they surrender to the passion flaring between them, immortal enemies close in, forcing Chrys to choose between his brother and the only woman who's ever loved the real him.
