It\u2019s to be a checkpoint in an underground rescue mission that guides the most vulnerable of Earth\u2019s creatures &#8212; human and otherwise &#8212; to a place called Beaver Bay in New England. It\u2019s only recently that the evacuations have started in the northeast, because until just a short time ago, Beaver Bay was nothing more than a hideaway like most others. Then things changed. Angels now work with the witches of Beaver Bay. Anyone who travels there is whisked away to a refugee camp guarded by angels, where they can safely await the end of the war against the demon occupation here on Earth. Blaxton sent me here to evaluate the club, to make sure everything is as safe as possible. In a few days, an angel, Tad, will arrive to meet with rebel leaders in Baltimore, and I\u2019m to report to them.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>It\u2019s been a long trip from Indiana, where the Sovereign Vampire had a meeting with a coven of witches &#8212; also part of the rebellion. Demons attacked, and &#8212;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>And the rest I don\u2019t want to think about, even though the twinge in my chest is an irritating reminder.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>About Bloodbloom<\/p>\n<p>(M\/M Erotic Paranormal Romance)<\/p>\n<p>Lance Bloodbloom: For years I\u2019ve served as an agent for the Sovereign Vampire of the USA. Since the demon occupation, I\u2019ve fought on the side of the rebellion. Now I\u2019ve been reassigned to the Savage Sage Club, which is also a safe house for refugees. My dilemma is Cupid &#8212; a former prostitute who now runs the club. From the moment I freed him from a sadistic flesh peddler, he stole my heart, but in my line of work, one can\u2019t have a heart. Despite this, when I finally see Cupid again, I doubt I can control my passion for him.<\/p>\n<p>Cupid: The night Lance rescued me from the dungeon where I\u2019d been forcibly turned into a vampire and mercilessly used for blood and sex, I knew I would love him forever. He sent me away, though, to a place where I could recover and build a new life, and I have. I\u2019m no longer a prostitute, and I run a club that is also a haven for members of the rebellion. Lance Bloodbloom is back, and I want him more than ever, so I\u2019ll need to convince him that love is possible, even for a centuries-old warrior.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/www.changelingpress.com\/bloodbloom-confessions-2-b-3074\">Changeling Press<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read snippets from other authors in the Weekend Writing Warriors Blog hop <a href=\"http:\/\/wewriwa.blogspot.com\/\">here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to the WeWriWa blog hop.
