Many thanks to Ava March for donating an ebook copy of her recent m/m paranormal Regency romance, From Afar, for one lucky reader to win!
Some rules are destined to be broken.
Loneliness. A concept with which Raphael Laurent is very familiar. He’s lived a solitary life for thirty-six years, shunning the excesses of the local vampire clan – until he spots Lord Aleric Vane, the handsome and dissolute third son of a duke. For three years Raphael has watched from a distance, for only when he is near Aleric does the hollow, empty ache in his chest ease.
Cut off from his family for refusing to follow his father’s dictates, Aleric’s nights are filled with vice. But after three years in London, the city has lost all appeal. Desolate and penniless, his future appears bleak until a mysterious man drops from the shadows to drive off a trio of murderous thieves.
When Aleric awakens, he finds himself forever changed. The itch for more that drove him to London is gone. In its place is the feeling that he’s known the beautiful Raphael all his life.
But to save Aleric, Raphael had to break the rules, giving him a chance to love the one man he never thought he could have – a chance that could be ripped away by Aleric himself…
Warning: This book contains hot m/m action with a new vampire with a ramped up sex drive, and a dash of voyeurism of the m/m, m/f, and m/m/m varieties. Definitely not your traditional Regency romance.

“I bet if I lived in the Regency era, I’d have an actual throne instead of this crummy towel-covered ottoman. Hmph.” -Mayhem
A gold and burgundy brocade throne, with corded trim.

Oh, me please? I have Bound By Deception on my TBR list, but I went to read the excerpt and ohhhhhhh…good!
May – even on that towel-covered ottoman your regalness shines!
.-= orannia´s last blog ..Peeking =-.
Oh, May. Poor baby. You make even a simple towel elegant. You do not need no stinkin’ throne;-D
.-= CindyCindy´s last blog ..Friday. It’s just that simple. =-.
Ah but May look at it this way, you’re ruling over the Ottoman empire. 😉
.-= Sydney´s last blog ..Cloudy With a Chance of Tornados =-.
LOL! Crummy towel!? Mayhem, don’t you know there are kitties in the world who don’t have a towel to sleep on? 😉
.-= Brigitte´s last blog ..In Training, Part Deux =-.
Be grateful for the 21st century:
Central heating and cooling did not exist in the Regency era.
Neither did litter boxes – kitties used the bushes back then.
Sparkly pink mice were not even on the horizon.
Feathery toys were right out.
ROFLMAO Sydney’s comment.

Chris- Around here, we can’t have towels laying around anywhere because someone likes to pee on them.
.-= Lorraine´s last blog ..Does That Come in Size "Huge"? =-.
I can totally see that guy’s nipples
.-= furiousball´s last blog ..Girl seen in tire swing =-.
I read From Afar. Loved it.
I’m sure, Chris, that with all your Linkity mojo you could find directions to make a throne for Mayhem.

May looks quite regal in this picture.
May, living in the Regency era is only nice in books. You’d miss all the comforts you’re used to. Enjoy your towel.
Count me in. I’ve had this one in my TBB for a while now.

May—I’m sure no matter where you perch you APPEAR as if you are on a throne. I sure know MY kitties do!
.-= Miranda´s last blog ..REVIEW: This Is What I Want =-.
Hey Chris, toss me in there some where!
Oh gosh, I will have to agree with trek up there May.. You might not want to go back in time! And besides… You rule the Ottoman!!
Is is TGIF yet… I can say that now…
Hope all is well honey!
Gosh, that book sounds really tasty. Please count me in!
May, you will get a throne someday that goes with your sparkly tiara.
.-= Seanna Lea´s last blog ..oh, wii =-.
How do you now the ottoman is not a thrown? There might be gold under the towel. You should demand it be covered with silk.
.-= margene´s last blog ..Gardener Smith =-.
Even on the crummy towel, May, you look like a true Panther Princess. Perhaps you could bargain for a hot pink towel.
.-= Brenda´s last blog ..Catching up in photos =-.
But isn’t every chair your throne?
This looks like an interesting read! I can’t resist a good story with a vampire in it!

May, you look regal enough on the towel, perhaps a throne would be gilding the lily?
And, Chris, Regency and Vampires! count me in.
You would have a slave to peel your cat grapes for you, and wave fresh fronds of catnip over you…
