Spain is the one place Kaden never planned to see again. Years after he escaped the master vampire, he has never looked back—until now. As he stands before enemy vampires and werewolves, he knows that determination is the only thing that can save Lyn from her captives. Everything Kaden has worked so hard for has to be forgotten. He must become a ruthless killer once again.
After everything Kaden has done to remain free, he has purposely walked back into his old life, leaving his friends behind in order to protect them. Now, in the midst of a bad game of hide and seek with Phoenix, Kaden must fool everyone into thinking he has returned for all the right reasons. But Phoenix is not easily swayed. He still resents Kaden for leaving and letting Tobias out of his tomb. Kaden is running out of time. If his plan fails, there will never be another opportunity.
In the third tale of the Kindred Blood series, a young life depends on whether Kaden can convince
Phoenix and his fellow vampires to trust him. One way or another, things are about to end where they all began.”
The headlights of a Volkswagen blinked at me once. I approached the car and bent to the driver’s side window. “Hey, Max.”
“Hello,” he replied slowly. He turned in his seat to look behind him. “Gabriel, are you sure about this?” “We talked it through last night,” he said softly. “It will be fine.”
Max sighed. “Just remember what they said.” When Gabriel didn’t answer, he continued on. “Your brother has been filled in, like you asked. But please stick to the plan. I don’t want to make that phone call.”
Gabriel’s pale hand reached for the handle. I quickly opened the car door and helped him onto the street. “I am perfectly clear on what is going to happen.”
Max said a few lines in Italian. Gabriel smiled and replied. I didn’t know what they said, but it seemed important. The look Max gave me before driving away was unreadable, but it was clear that our relationship hinged on how the night ended.

Guest Post from Amber Riley
Juggling a family and writing is a lot harder than one might imagine. I know that it was harder
than I ever thought it would be. When I was about half way finished with the first draft of The Land
of Tears, I found out my husband and I were expecting our first child. On top of that, my husband got
orders sending us to Germany for three years. So, at four months pregnant, I moved half way across the
world, with the manuscript still only half completed. I have no idea how I only managed to squeeze out
about one chapter in those four months. I actually don’t remember much about my first trimester at all
as I slept it away.
The whirlwind of moving didn’t settle down until well into September – almost three months
later. That was when my belongings finally arrived and I could unpack. Of course, this was at the same
time that my husband was sent on a mini-deployment and I was completely on my own. In those few
weeks after I unpacked and he returned, I did manage to almost complete the first draft.
The last few chapters were difficult to work on at all. I was juggling cooking, cleaning, doctor
appointments, and all those other little things that have to get done every day. Luckily, I found enough
free moments to get it finished before my son was born.
That was when the real challenge started. Being a first time mom is hard. Being a first time mom
in a foreign country with no friends or family was the near death of me. On top of all the cooking and
cleaning, I had all the baby things to do. And, as every mother knows, with little sleep. Whenever I stole
a few minutes to work on editing The Land of Tears, I felt like I was neglecting my husband.
But, I am lucky enough to have married an incredibly supportive man. He took over baby duty
after work and never complained that I was paying more attention to a Word document than him. With
my new routine established, the editing was finished faster than I ever expected. I just had to get used
to writing on a schedule instead of when the motivation hit.
It took a lot longer than I hoped for the third Kindred Blood novel to be released, but it gave me
a difference sense of accomplishment. As hard as it was, my passion for writing pulled me through to
the end.
