The Lotus Blossom Chronicles

Two stories make up these chronicles. In our first story, SIREN'S SEDUCTION
by Jax Cassidy, Niko Chow is on a mission. He made a deathbed promise to
best friend and is now trying to fulfill it. Finally, he's managed to track
Donovan Matthews-Dove- to this dive where she's a singer. And what a dive it
is. When he finds himself attracted to her, he puts off telling her what he
must and the two of them go on an adventure instead.

When Dove's parents died, she ended up in foster homes, separated from her
sister. Ever since that time, Dove has had issues-letting people close to
her, self-esteem- all because her sister promised they would find each other.
Even though Dove wrote letters to her sister, she never received any back,
so eventually, she quit. Now she's met Niko and he's everything she's ever
wanted in a man.

Will what Niko has to tell Dove tear them apart?

Our second story, CONCUBINE by Simone Harlow takes place in the
twenty-second century in Africa. The King of New Kenya has stepped down from
the throne in favor of his son so he could spend his golden years with his
concubine, Nyssa Farris and their daughter, Makeda. Unfortunately, Princess
Tarana is not exactly happy with this arrangement and stages a coup. Once
her brother is dead, Tarana goes after her father. Not only does Tarana kill
her father, but she scars Nyssa and takes Makeda as her heir.

Now a bounty hunter, Nyssa has been summoned by the queen. On the way to the
palace, Nyssa and her companion, Bakari-a teenager Nyssa rescued from an
abusive master-find one of the queen's slaves in the desert. There's
something about this man that gets to Nyssa and she helps him on his way to
a neighboring kingdom. Turns out the queen has a proposition for Nyssa. If
she will recapture the same slave she helped (unknown to the queen), Nyssa
will get her daughter back. Even though it goes against everything within
her, Nyssa agrees for the chance to have Makeda back with her. Of course,
this is no ordinary slave Tarana wants back, this particular man is Prince
Asad of the Northern Empire, presumed dead.

Will Nyssa be able to take Asad back to Tarana? Will she give up the chance
to have her daughter back? What price is too high for her to pay to get her
daughter?

Both of the stories in THE LOTUS BLOSSOM CHRONICLES deal with second chances
in life. Authors Jax Cassidy and Simone Harlow both bring these stories to
vivid life. We go through the whole gamut of emotions as we find out if
these two very wounded couples will heal and have their second chance at
life and love.
