Spotlight: Red Velvet by JP Roth
/
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Magic is sacred, but real love is divine.
To save them from the Guillotine a spell is cast, and Marie-Thérèse Charlotte of France, daughter of Marie Antoinette, is changed into an owl, her brother, the young dauphin, into a golden stag. The old gypsy witch who repaid a blood debt by saving their lives, takes the princess’s memories and names her Velvet. For eight years Velvet exists safely wrapped in the spell. On her eighteenth year, rumors of her life reach the ears of King George III. In a bout of fearful madness, he orders the death of the French heirs. When soldiers torch their camp, Velvet and her brother, are forced to run for their lives.
Nora Hardington, a young woman on a mission into the dangerous underbelly of London, finds Velvet wounded and dying. Risking her own life, she rescues Velvet. Together, they enlist the help of the dark stranger sent to carry out the king’s command. As they search for the spell to return her brother’s humanity, Velvet lives all the sides of life she was previously denied.
Her adventures are fraught with assassins, pirates, ancient enchantments, bloody battle, mythical lore, and all manner of dastardly love.
Excerpt
The dark clouds shifted and the moon grew bright in the midnight sky. Then, he was kissing her and the fire was everywhere. Velvet could not breathe, did not want to breathe. His tongue touched her lips—she listened to them part with an audible gasp. The indescribable sensations curled her toes, arched her spine, put stars in her eyes. She felt the cool touch of the wooden deck on her back and thighs.
Henry rose above; his dark hair falling down in waves tented their kiss, and they were alone in their breathless, burning world—and she no longer cared—gods and monsters, enchantments and lost princesses be damned. Her hands twined through his thick curls as she held onto consciousness like a lifeline praying the ticking seconds would loop in on themselves, and this moment would never end. Reality was evil; bloody and cold…this—oh this—his hand cupped her breast, his kiss turned rough, achingly desperate—this was golden, glorious, and hot as the sun.
