HER
GUARDIAN ANGEL

BLURB:
The last thing Snow-Leopard Shifter Dominic expects to find
at an accident scene is his mate, the beautiful Adele, but after four years of
dreaming of her, there she is, right in front of him. However, winning
the heart of his lonely, grieving mate is no simple task. Just as their
relationship begins to heat up a gravely injured child, Kelly, stumbles into
their lives after escaping and fleeing her abuser. Will Dominic and
Adele's bond grow stronger as they nurture and protect Kelly? Will their
relationship be able to survive all that fate plans on throwing their way?
EXCERPT:
She dragged herself up
the embankment and into an open field. Running her gaze over the grassy area,
she saw a couple staring at her. Shock stole her focus, causing her to stumble
over a fallen tree branch. Panic swept through her as she fell to her hands and
knees.
Kelly's breathing raced,
causing her ribs to hurt more. She had to get away or they would take her back,
but she couldn't get her body to respond. Nothing would move. She heard
footsteps rapidly approach and just as she saw feet come into her field of
vision, her eyesight began to dim. She managed to groan out, "Please don't
take me back to him," before she lost the battle and the darkness took her
into a blissful pain free unconsciousness.
Guest Post
I’ve always read paranormal books, so I’ve
read a lot of shifter stories. I love
big cats, always have. So I looked to
big cats for my first shifter series. I
chose snow leopards because I’ve only read one book with that animal as the
shifter. I wanted to steer clear of what
I’ve read a lot of, in order to help me keep it original.
I wanted the creation of my shifters to be
positive. I didn’t want it to be based
on a curse. I did some research on where
snow leopards live and after a lot of work created the legend behind their
creation. The main characteristic they
all have is that they are protectors. As
the legend below states, they were created to protect.
The Legend, as told by Choden (the original
shifter) in Her Guardian Angel:
"This story starts long ago with the
monks who lived high in the mountains of Tibet. The monks were bonded with the
snow leopards. The men would provide shelter and medical aid and in return ,the
snow leopards offered the monks protection from those who would harm them. It
was a relationship that worked well and benefited both man and beast.
"In the 1750's an elderly monk had
started to become concerned for the snow leopards. Their numbers were declining
rapidly from hunters who sought out their beautiful and thick pelts. Together
with his prodigy, a young boy who he had taken under his wing, they researched
ways in which they could help protect the snow leopards.
"In 1759 they finally had everything
they needed to conduct the magic that would hopefully save their friends and
protectors. They had found a way to join together a man and a beast. Thus
enabling the beast to shift to a man and the man to shift to a beast, enabling
both to better protect themselves and others they held dear.
"Now the young monk had an extremely
close bond with a young male snow leopard, and they both gladly volunteered to
be joined. Late at night, under the darkness of a new moon, the elder monk cast
the magic upon the younger man and beast. A ball of blue electric energy formed
around both the man and the beast before they were raised in the air and merged
into one. Upon the energy fading, the beast was revealed and the man had
disappeared. The beast raised his head and roared to the sky. As he did, the
blue ball of energy returned over him and he flashed into a man.
"Now, that isn't the end of the story.
You see the monks didn't realize that Halley's Comet had passed over them just
as they were casting the magic. The comet strengthened the magic, and along
with the newly created shifter, a pair of mated shifters were conceived on each
of the world's seven continents that night. The magic continues to stay with
Halley's comet, and each time it passes back over the earth, a new mated pair
is conceived on each continent."
AUTHOR INFORMATION:
Khloe Wren started writing her first novel in high school, until it
mysteriously disappeared from the family computer (her older brother was the
lead suspect but nothing was ever proved). She didn't put pen to paper again
after that for a number of years but she did keep reading. Khloe has always
loved all things paranormal, sexy vampires, sultry shifters have always been
her favourites. So when she picked up writing again, it seemed only natural to
write paranormal romance.
Khloe lives in country South Australia with her incredibly
patient husband and their two daughters.
When she's not sitting at her laptop writing, she's either spending time
with family or friends, or feeding her addictions of reading paranormal
romance, eating chocolate and drinking coke.
