Promotional Post & Giveaway: Deceived by Stephanie Nelson

Teaser from Deceived

He regarded me with a look I’d seen a few other times, an expression I  tried to ignore, but at the moment, I couldn't look away from. I was a woman who noticed attractive men, but I would never act on those feelings. I loved Aiden as  sure as the night is long. But Dorian stirred something deep inside of me, and we  connected on a level I hadn’t with Aiden. It wasn’t easy to ignore something that  profound, especially when it was staring at me like I was the sexiest girl in the world.

Dorian took a step forward. His arms hung limp, but I could tell he was nervous about what was happening between us. The tightness in his jaw and triceps betrayed the cool confidence he was trying to portray. An inch of icy air separated us. I lifted my eyes to his, and we stared at each other. No words were needed; our body language spoke for us. Dorian brought his arm up and with the back of his hand caressed the side of my face with more gentleness than I imagined. My eyes closed against the feel of it. A shuffle of feet enticed my eyes open just in time to see Dorian bending forward and toward my eager lips.

I am a down to earth sort of girl who believes in Karma. You do good things and good things will be returned to you. I chose to look on the bright side rather than the dark. My love of books came later in life. When i was younger i read a few Goosebump and Fear Street books but they couldn't hold my attention for very long. It wasn't until i heard of sparkly vampires that my curiosity got the better of me. Once i was done with the saga i needed more. I rushed out to the bookstores in search of  more paranomal romance books. After devouring book after book, my own stories began to form in my mind. I never considered myself a writer. The only things i'd wrote were poems and that's a far cry from writing a novel. But i could picture the story in my head so i decided to give it a shot and type it out. It wasn't long before i was scraping it to start another one. I continued on like this for a few years before Gwen Sparks' story came to me. I was almost done with a story but ended up stopping so i could start Craved - Book 1 in the Gwen Sparks Series. Seven months later my book was completed. I didn't intend on publishing, i was merely writing to write. But after being invited into a wonderful writers group, i found my courage and published Craved. It ended up reaching #1 on the Amazon's bestseller's list and #6 on the Barnes & Noble bestseller's list. Since then i have published Deceived, the second book in the Gwen Sparks series and have started on another series. If i can give any aspiring authors advice, it'd be never give up! It took me four years to find my story and it was worth the wait. I am blessed to have supportive fans and friends and a loving family who encourages me to follow my dreams.
