It’s no secret that I love futuristic romances and I’m fortunate to be an agency mate with the fabulously talented Jess Granger, whose Beyond The Rain was a favorite of mine last year. Jess was at RT so when I grabbed a copy of her freshly released Beyond the Shadows, I also picked up another signed copy to give away here in a contest.
A man of deception. A woman of justice. Can their fragile trust be strong enough to prevent a war?
Commander Yara knows perfect leadership requires perfect control and discipline. She has spent years living without the distraction of caring for anything—or anyone. It’s a sacrifice she’s willing to make. Yara has honed herself into the perfect heir to the Azralen throne, but a bloody coup could destroy everything she’s worked so hard for. She must return home to prevent war. Unfortunately the only ship available belongs to an Earthlen trader with no regard for authority—especially hers.
Cyn is a rebel, driven to protect those suffering at the hands of the Elite leaders of Azra. Using his alias to manipulate the lovely but icy commander onto his ship, he has to keep her from Azra long enough to ignite the revolution. But when he awakens a vibrant and feeling woman beneath that icy exterior, he gets more than he bargained for—love. He must find a way to convince Yara to join him, before they get caught in a web of deception that could tear their world apart.
Sounds awesome, no? You can also read the first chapter at Jess’ website!
On to the rules and stuff – if you would like to win a signed copy of this fabulous book all you need to do is reply to this post with two books you’re looking forward to this summer. Easy peasy! I’ll choose a winner from all the qualifying comments (as in if you only write “yay enter me” or whatever, this is not a qualifying entry – it’s an easy question to answer) first thing Monday morning (may 10) and announce it here!
Good Luck!

The people who have those books have been talking about them for so long I don’t even know when they’re out. I just know they aren’t yet and I WANT THEM. Otherwise… Erm… is Erin McCarthy’s next book coming out this summer?

It is indeed an easy question–the problem is to narrow it down to only two!
Here’s my answer (at the moment, these things change as my mind wanders…)
Ann Aguirre’s Killbox (August) and Ava Gray’s Skin Tight (June). While I beta read earlier versions of both, I always love to read the finished book–and once they are released, I can actually talk with other people about them!
