I don’t think I’ve ever been more nervous about a book release, but the big day is here.

If you’d like to see what readers are saying, head on over to Goodreads for early reviews.

Hope dangles by a silken thread.

Araneae Nation, Book 1

When the head of the Araneidae clan is found poisoned in her nest, her eldest daughter, Lourdes, becomes their clan’s new maven. If her clan is to survive, she has but one choice: she must marry before her nest is seized. All she needs is a warrior fierce enough to protect her city and safeguard her clansmen. Such a male is Rhys the Cold.

Born the youngest son of an impoverished maven, the only things Rhys has to his name are his sword and his mercenary reputation. His clan is starving, but their fondness for the flesh of fellow Araneaeans makes them unwelcome dinner guests. Torn between loyalty to his clan and fascination with his future bride, Rhys’s first taste of Lourdes threatens to melt the cold encasing his heart.

Amid the chaos of battle, Lourdes’s sister disappears and is feared captured. Lourdes and Rhys pursue their enemies into the southlands, where they discover an odd plague ravaging southern clans as it travels north, to Erania. Determined to survive, Lourdes will discover whether she’s worth her silk or if she’s spun the thread by which her clan will hang.

Product Warnings
This book contains one mercenary hero with a biting fetish, one determined heroine who gets nibbled, and an answer to the age-old question, “What does dragon taste like?” Matricide and sibling rivalry are available upon request. The house special is revenge, best served cold.

 

Back to School

Submissions Deadline May 15, 2012
To be released mid-August through mid-Sept. 2012

Liquid Silver Books is focusing on fall with the 3 Rs: Reading, wRiting, and Romance at school. And just for fun, if you have a yen to swat someone with a ruler, we’d love to hear about that too! Your story can be any school-related theme, from single parents who meet at their kids’ school event, non-traditional students who are returning to school later in life to make their dreams come true, or two second language students who meet over a dictionary. Or maybe your story is about a teacher who meets a love interest at school, either a co-worker or student’s parent. If you have a romance that starts at school, we want to see it.
Your story can be of any length or romance sub-genre, between 15K and 100K, and any heat level, from our sweeter Platinum through our explicit Molten, and any pairing—ménage or other multiple partner relationship is okay as long as it is a romance and not erotica, and it ends with happily ever after, or at least happy for now.
For more information and how to submit your story, please see our website’s submissions guidelines page athttp://www.liquidsil…/guidelines.htm or contact our Managing Editor Georgia Woods at [email protected].
