JADE DREAMS
Book 6 in Sons of Earth and Wind
Jewelry designer, Jade Starr’s paranormal gift to set emotions in metals and gems has made her the target of a powerful and ruthless enemy bent on revenge. Two years earlier, that same enemy had sent his men to ambush her and her bodyguard, Blake. Unknown to Jade, Blake was really Ash Hunter working undercover.
Hunter, whose appearance has been changed by life-saving surgery, can’t remember the months leading up to the attack, including his deep attraction to Jade. Now he’s assigned, once more as her bodyguard. Lately, he’s disturbed by dreams about a woman, resembling Jade, who once betrayed him.
Jade, who thinks Blake died, is startled by Hunter’s eerie resemblance to Blake. She learns the truth but is forced to keep the knowledge a secret while her love for him flares higher.
As danger tightens around them, Hunter fights his attraction to this woman he believes had tried to kill him. He’d take a bullet for Jade, but he doesn’t trust her.

I haven't read any of the books in this series but this one sounds great and I can't wait to read it. How many books are in the series and how many more are there going to be? Do you have to read them in order or are they stand alone books?

Thanks for all your comments and questions. Jade and Hunter's story is the sixth book in the Sons of Earth and Wind series. They're set in contemporary times and most of them center around southern and central California because that's where I live.
ReplyDeleteThe books are connected by their characters--for example--Hawk Adams,(Tears of the Hawk), Quinn Archer,(A Breath of Heather), and Michael Forest, (A Touch of Fire), were comrades in shadow wars and continue that friendship into the present. Hawk's Wife and Michael's wife are sisters. Jade is also their sister.
In Deserts of the Heart, Kadar was mentored when he was a teenager by Michael and later became a security agent working for Hawk. BTW, this book and Tears of the Desert Rose are set in California and in the Sahara desert and the Atlas Mountains.
I'll do another comment about plans for the future.
The books each stand alone.
I have already begun the research and thinking about the story line for Book 7 in the series. The working title is, Curse the Darkness.
ReplyDeleteMy heroine, Laurel, is curator in a museum with a specialty in Native American artifacts. One of her paranormal gifts is the ability to touch an ancient artifact, and see a vision of the person who originally made it.
When she's falsely accused of stealing a small turquoise bear from the museum, by the head of the Museum's security company--who was also her boyfriend-- she quits her job in the small east coast museum, and moves to Walkersville in Northern California where she gets a job in a boutique and antique store.
In the meantime, security agent from Hawk Adam's company, Craig Landers, is assigned to secretly test the security at the store. When he makes a soft entry into the store after midnight, he doesn't realize anyone else is there until Laurel whacks him in the back with a broom.
This books sounds great----romance, suspense and paranormal.

Congratulations on the new book, Barbara! What a fun thing to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read you before, but have put you on my "must try" list. I was checking out your website and see you also write "spicy" as April Reid and you write children's books as well. How do you have the time?
Is the heat level the only difference between your April and your Barbara books?
Best wishes on the new book,
Laurie Jo
