Book Tour: See Me by Natalie Nicole Bates Giveaway



See Me by Natalie Nicole Bates 


~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

BLURB:

Carly Anders is hearing voices in her head. Another one of her kind is trying to contact her. She knows of the malevolent freaks—others who are eternal like her and seek out the weak to inflict pain upon. For years, Carly has held up huge protective walls to keep herself and her secrets safe. Now, physically and mentally exhausted, Carly needs protection and rest.

She accepts the invitation to visit an internet friend who needs help appraising a collection of antique photographs.  The situation is not ideal, but Carly hopes a male presence in her life will deter the determined suitor who haunts her thoughts and dreams.

Daniel Tremont is not what Carly is expecting.

The former funeral director has a secret of his own. Not only is he eternal like Carly, he is her creation from all those years before—her abomination she thought she killed.

Daniel has been searching for Carly for years. He knows she is the piece of his life that he has been missing for so long. Now that he has found her, he has no intentions of letting her go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT:

A flicker of life ignited in her eyes. Her hands came up to his face, and to Daniel’s surprise, tears bubbled from his own eyes. He was releasing the pain and fear he had absorbed from his beloved.
  
“I’m so sorry, Daniel, so sorry,” she murmured.
  
“There’s nothing to be sorry for, my love. It’s over. It’s time to move forward now.”
  
“You don’t understand what I am, Daniel.”
   
“I do understand, Carly. I am what you are. See me for what I am.”

In his mind, he could see the moving clockwork gears of her thoughts once again as she tried to process what he was telling her to be true.

“Just accept it, and let’s move forward.”
  
She drew his face to hers and her lips parted beneath his. Time blurred and he drank in the essence of his Carly. Her soft, barely covered curves molded themselves against his the hard planes of his body. Her hands were under his t-shirt, her fingers stroking him.
 
If he pressed on, he knew she wouldn’t refuse him. But in her vulnerable state, he wouldn’t let anything progress further that night. Carly needed time to process everything that happened. There was plenty of time to pursue a physical relationship. They weren’t going any where…he hoped.

  4. Lena~ My new novella is a paranormal romance with horror elements called Remember The Stars. It is something new. If you get a chance, visit my blog and see the cover--it's fabulous! In the meantime, here is the blurb for Remember The Stars:

    For Leah Rhodes, life as she knows it has just changed forever.

    Waking in a gutter in the dark surroundings of her distant past, a familiar man stands out in her confusion.

    But Remy Moreland has been dead for years.

    It soon becomes apparent to Leah that both she and Remy are trapped in a hell of their own making.

    Can one night together not only lead to the way out, but to love as well?

  10. Thank you to everyone for your comments! I appreciate it and hope you'll give one of my stories a try. I also have a contemporary available called Change of Address, which was a 2012 Festival of Romance Reader's Award Finalist. Something a bit different from my paranormals.
