I've got a secret to announce! The Alliance of Silver and Steam grew out of a short story, Demon in Steam. Since that story each of the characters in this series have been poking and prodding and driving me insane to tell their stories. The books that I have written already are honestly what I think of as my best work. I couldn't tell you why except for the journey that these stories took me on as a writer, and even a reader, is the strongest in concept, execution and entertainment of anything I've written so far.

For almost the first two weeks of November my muse was at it again. I blame the events in Bite of Silver, but both Thomas Agardawes and the Alliance itself were screaming to tell their story. For two weeks I ignored him and it resulted in scrambling and difficulty concentrating working on my first ever Nano project. I kept it bottled up until one night I turned to my husband and blurted it out, hoping it would make it go away. Unfortunately, all it did was make it harder to ignore.

Thankfully, my publisher is amazing and not only was ok with me adding in yet another story and shifting around the Sirens in Steam release date because I felt this should come before the final book, but she wanted it too!

Without any further boring chatter, the cover and blurb for Rise of Silver and Steam, release September 11, 2015!
Picture
Thomas Agardawes has a bride that resists him and a job that he doesn't like. When a Royal approaches him on only his third day as a master at the clock worker guild his life is turned upside down. Demons lurk in the underground and because of his wife’s secret affair with an angel he is being assigned the task of leading the force against evil. 

Seraphina has torn her wings from her body to save a lover’s soul and he rejects her. Revenge blossoms and she plots to make Hell her own and force humans to pay for what they took from her. Nothing will stop her and her corruption runs soul deep.

Layel, a Pure Angel, has fallen for a human and it’s almost cost him his wings. He must convince the woman to love her husband and convince the husband to run a secret group to hunt demons as they’ve come out of Hell to hunt the humans. 

Three souls that couldn’t be more different collide in unexpected ways as the Alliance of Silver and Steam is born and the secrets of demons unleashed on the world.

XoXo,
Lexi

I've had so many wonderful messages asking me about Greyston and Felicia as people had read or finished reading Nightmare in Steam that I spoke to my publisher and she has allowed me to release it on it's own! I'm so honored and humbled that people cared and were interested in them so much!


Picture
In the London Underground the Alliance of Silver and Steam is all that protects humans from demons.

Felicia Ganon is no stranger to the demons that lurk in the night. After her parents were murdered in front of her the Alliance took her in and trained her. Vengeance became her only drive.

Greyston Westham is more than just the devilishly handsome Captain of the Guard. He's an Incubus Demon who hunts his own kind because they have no use for lesser demons like himself.

When a murderer is running lose that only the Alliance can deal with Felicia and Greyston are thrown together in a deadly game. Can she overcome her hatred of demons and give into the relationship that will save her life? Or will Felicia's hatred be her doom.

Trailer: http://youtu.be/8o3yiUS-278

Excerpt: 
“Miss, you shouldn't be out here alone after dark. Please allow me to escort you home, I am Greyston Westham, Captain of the Royal Guard .” His words stunned her. His choice of “miss” meant he didn't think anything strange of her off exposed shoulders that indicated a lady of the night, or the goggles over her eyes a moment before.

His voice sent chills over her. She had seen him many times in the paper and heard him speak in the courtyard , but had never had his attention directed at her. A trail of lust swept through her body at the idea of his focus being on her and then she realized, he had fired at a demon and at no point had the panicked reaction men normally did. Which meant Greyston Westham knew too much, and she was determined to find out how someone other than the Royals themselves knew of demons.

She had played frightened plenty of times in the past and her voice raised in pitch, taking on the quite shrillness of panic. “Mr. Westham, that thing you shot at, what was it? Surely it was not of this world.”

Her eyes locked with his, and she noticed a small flare of his nostrils before he composed himself. “I've seen you before, when the royal clock was presented . Your name is Ganon correct?” His eyes bore into hers and she was caught between the need to lash out at him and see what he knew, and the desire for him to strip her bare and slide into her body. She'd heard all the rumors about how well he knew his way around a woman's body and she had often fantasized about him. His long dark hair and striking green eyes fueled her even when she couldn't see him. Standing close enough for him to dip his head and kiss her senseless, she had to force herself to breathe.

About the Author Lexi Ostrow has been in love with the written word since second grade when her librarian started a writing club. Born in sunny southern California she's spent time in various places across the country and can't wait to settle down somewhere in the French Quarter when she's able too.

Lexi has been a writer ever since the second grade in some form or another. Getting her degree in creative writing and her master's in journalism she couldn't wait to get a chance to put her fantasies down on paper. Her debut novel, Torn Between Two Worlds is something that was simmering in her mind since middle school and she's so grateful to put it out into the literary world. From paranormal romance to thriller there isn't a genre she doesn't love to spend her time reading or writing.

Reading and writing are her first loves but her passion for shopping, love for yummy food and her love for all her many pets. She hopes to one day help other readers fall in love with writing as she did.

Leena has been in love with her boss, Nick DeMarco, for almost eight years. But he's never given her any indication that she was special to him. Their relationship was close, but rarely outside of a business function. So when he invites her to be his fake girlfriend at his family's Christmas week she is thrilled and ready to show Nick just what he's missing out on, her only wish for the Christmas season.

Nick wouldn't admit it to anyone except his brother, but his assistant Leena is the only woman he's had feelings for in quite some time. He didn't want to seem like a powerful boss trying to seduce his employee so he had ignored his desire for her for the past five years. When the opportunity to take her to his family's chalets opens he takes it, intent on seducing her.

When things begin to heat up with Leena and Nick, both are pleasantly surprised. But a winter storm traps them in the chalet just as Nick's older brother Jake arrives. When he makes no attempt to hide his attraction to Leena the whole vacation becomes heated. What will happen when the storm lifts, will the assistant have gotten a her Christmas wish?

Excerpt: The shrill beep of the microwave made her jump. Jake rolled his eyes and turned back to the cooking. She hadn’t responded and with the lump in her throat she couldn’t. What would she have said anyway? ‘Sorry I’m with your brother but that kiss melted me, keep trying you’ll find the right girl?’ And then the thought of another girl had her clenching the mug so hard it jerked in her hand and hot liquid slushed over her hand and she cursed.

He turned and his eyes changed immediately. Concern seeped in and pushed the anger and hurt out. He took her hand and guided her to the kitchen sink, kissing the screaming red burn before lowering it under the water.

“You’re almost as clumsy as you are when you’ve had too much champagne Leena.” His mouth was serious but his eyes were smiling. His thumb ran gentle circles over her hand and he let the cool water run over the burn. She knew she should take her hand back, but she didn’t want too. She wasn’t sure if she would ever want to have him not touching her like this again.

Their eyes met and she felt lost in the dark blue depths. Without the ring around them she knew she was staring at Jake, not Nick. She stood there, eyes locked with his as he soothed her burn for almost five minutes. Neither one of the moved.

Jake turned the water off without breaking eye contact, or skin contact. He breathed deeply and that was when the spell broke. She grabbed her hand out his harsher than she’d meant to and his eyes hardened. He took a step back and she saw the tension radiating through his body.

“Jake I’m sorry. I am. I shouldn’t have just sat here just now.”

He poured batter into the pan and she heard the sizzle, but no comment from him. He slammed the batter down onto the counter and turned abruptly.

“What if I’d been first?” His voice was strained, laced with a desperation she wasn’t certain she knew men could have.

“First what Jake?”

“If I’d been here first. If I’d never listened to Nick when he told me not to pursue you, that you didn’t like men like the DeMarco’s.” His words hurt. She’d been putting Nick off of her mind for so long at one point she’d mentioned she would never date a man with a company because they’d never have time for her. So Nick’s warning may not have had anything to do with feelings for her.

In Service

11/3/2014

0 Comments

 
Many of you may know (if you see my FB posts) that I am a military spouse. I've been with my hubby since before he was in the service and have been through so much with him because of it. Boot camp, training school, a World Deployment, a South American deployment, an Alaskan Deployment (where he didn't get me any Orca photos might I add lol), and plenty of location changes. In all that time I've slowly immersed myself into military romance. One thing became apparent quickly, USCG romance did not exist. When I saw an anthology call for a military short I jumped at the chance to write an erotic short around his branch, to honor him and give all the men and women spouses at least one story they can relate too. I was fortunate and it was accepted, however the antho didn't happen and I was left with a random story that I wasn't certain what to do with.

When my husband's boat returned home from deployment in early October with so many accolades and achievements, I knew I needed to redo the story, add some more content and simply do it as a short. As I was literally typing up the submission to my wonderful editor my sexy Adam Ayash muse went "Hello....5 military shorts, honor them all in the small way that you can!" Which meant that as I was typing a submission email I had three other branches of service storylines slam into my head. The Marines story is still playing hide and seek but the MC's have made themselves known and named already. And so, the series "In Service" was born. 

I've been fortunate enough to have my editor not only enjoy Sinking Ships, the Coast Guard Romance, but accepted the idea for the full series. So throughout the next two years, as close to Vet's Day and Memorial Day as the calendar would allow I've got some steamy military shorts to bring to you all! I'm so excited to be doing this series; despite what it may seem I'm not the biggest contemporary writer so to have found these stories is a wonderful way for me to give just a small bit of thanks to the men and women who serve, not to mention the families that are just as much a part of the service as well.

While I've got dates for all the ebooks and the boxed set (Which just may have a little something extra in it if I can get the muse on board) I'm going to wait a little to announce the official release dates under the "My Work" section of the site. The reason you ask? Well I don't have a title for the Marine story yet as the plot is only halfway shown to me so I want to put my muse to the test the next few days and see if I can't get the whole plot and a title before I release the dates.

Thank you to all the men and women who serve and the families that wait behind for them. For the unknown heroes who do the work in the background - caring for kids, taking care of the house, making sure nothing falls apart during deployment - these romances are for you just as much as the active duty personnel.

XOXO, 
Lexi
