GHOST OF A CHANCE
A paranormal romance novella
December 2012

Ghost of a Chance

Amazon

True crime writer Tracy Gomez is unsure of what to make of the unusual invitation from New York City attorney Peter Angelo: A one million dollar prize to anyone who can solve the mystery of three deaths which had occurred nearly eighty years earlier. Tracy desperately needs the money to fix up the old inn she’s just inherited and solving the crime will also provide welcome publicity to help her sagging writing career. But accepting the invitation brings unexpected challenges, like spectral help during a séance and Tracy’s attraction to the sexy attorney monitoring the contest. Does Tracy only have a ghost of a chance to discover the secrets of the past or can she win a prize far better than a million dollars?

Peter Angelo’s father is dying and has only one last wish: To find out if he is related to State Senator Francis “Skippy” Ryan. Eighty years earlier, Skippy was accused of murdering his wife and young daughter and then killing himself, but Peter’s father does not believe that’s what really happened on that long ago night and he wants to know the truth about his heritage.

To honor his father’s wishes, Peter assembles a cast of specialists to discover the truth about Skippy and the last night of his life. But Peter hadn’t gambled on also discovering love during the extraordinary occurrences during the investigations.

Caridad Pineiro THE PRINCE’S GAMBLE : Hurricane Sandy Jersey Shore Campaign

Caridad Pineiro THE PRINCE’S GAMBLE:  Hurricane Sandy Jersey Shore Campaign

The Prince's Gamble

THE PRINCE’S GAMBLE
Amazon / Barnes and Noble

Prince Alexander Ivanov is scrambling to save his reputation and his livelihood. One of the Russian Nights Casino’s hostesses has disappeared, and his business is suddenly under investigation by the FBI for associations with the mob and money laundering.

Special Agent Kathleen Martinez has no patience with rich, entitled aristocrats, especially one like Alexander Ivanov whom she believes is involved in the vicious human trafficking ring which she’d tried—and failed—to shut down two years earlier. With a second chance to bring him to justice, she goes undercover in the casino, but instead of facing the villain she expected, she finds herself battling a sizzling attraction to the man.

Now, forced to work together to trace the source of the illegal activities, the danger—and the passion between them—grows out of control, and they slowly begin to realize the biggest danger isn’t to the casino; it’s to their lives…and to their hearts.

***************************

Best-selling author Caridad Piñeiro is helping to rebuild the shore by donating proceeds of her latest romantic suspense release, THE PRINCE’S GAMBLE, from now until March 1, 2013. Caridad’s share of the proceeds from the sales of the book will be donated to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief fund. 

Here’s a note from Caridad about her Campaign: 

When Hurricane Sandy came roaring onto the Jersey Shore, it left a path of destruction in her wake. I was blessed that my home and my daughter’s shop were unaffected by the storm, although our towns and those nearby suffered damage. I’ve shared some images of that damage on my Facebook fan page.

As you know from some of my recent books, I love the Jersey Shore and my heart aches to see the damage and the suffering of my fellow New Jerseyans. In light of that, I want to be a part of the solution to the problems caused by the hurricane. 

To do that, I’m going to be donating my share of the proceeds from sales of THE PRINCE’S GAMBLE from now until March 1, 2013 to the Hurricane Sandy New Jersey Relief Fund. 

So please help spread the word by posting this where you can:

CARIDAD PINEIRO-Guest Post and Giveaway with the Author

KISSED BY A VAMPIRE Blog Tour

As a writer you always wonder what you can do to make yourself a better writer? Or what mistakes you’ve made in your writing life?

My first mistake, I think, was not starting my writing career earlier. Well, correct that. I wrote my first book in the fifth grade, but I really didn’t devote myself to getting published until after my daughter was born many many many years later.

Why did I decide to do it then? Well, it was a case of deciding to finally follow a lifelong dream and show my daughter that you should never be afraid to chase your dreams.

I did follow my dream then and it took nearly seven years for me to get the call. It is a day I will never forget and the years since then have been a rollercoaster ride for me as an author, but that’s not unusual.

Ask most authors and they will tell you just how uncertain a career it is. You can have talent and yet not have your books sell. You can have a great idea that your editor just can’t get the powers-to-be to acquire.

Despite that, you keep on writing. Why? Because you can’t stop reaching for your dreams.

THE CALLING/REBORN vampire novels is a series of my heart that I had to battle to get published. When I was trying to sell the first book in the series, no one wanted vampire stories. All I heard was that no one was reading vampire stories. LOL! How times have changed

But I stuck to it and THE CALLING/REBORN vampire series now has many novels, including my latest release, KISSED BY A VAMPIRE. It’s been wonderful to be able to tell these paranormal romantic suspense stories.

I particularly love KISSED BY A VAMPIRE because the heroine is such an outrageous, tortured and complex character. Stacia is a 2000 year old vampire who is not only tired of eternal life, but believes that it’s impossible for her to find love. For too long she’s settled for second best. That is until sexy DEA Agent Alex Garcia comes into the picture.

Alex is honorable, handsome and too sexy. Stacia thinks he’s too good to be believed, but as they are tossed together time and again as Alex tries to find the missing daughter of a colleague, Stacia realizes that he really is as good as he seems.

That goodness and honor call to her and for the first time in hundreds of years, Stacia imagines that love might just be possible.

I hope you’ll take a moment to check out KISSED BY A VAMPIRE and share in my dream and a series of my heart.

Kissed by a Vampire
by Caridad Pineiro
October 16, 2012
Harlequin Nocturne

 

A vampire who has given up on love gets a second chance from a most unlikely mortal…

For two thousand years, vampire elder Stacia has roamed on her own, haunted by the betrayal that turned her into a creature of the night. Her nights looming empty and eternal, Stacia longs for love, but settles for quick bites and sinful pleasures in South Beach. Until she comes face-to-face with the unforgettable DEA agent she once brought back from the brink of death.

Alex Garcia knows that demons exist-the real kind, the kind that are kidnapping women and selling them into slavery. Finding those victims is his focus-not a beautiful seductress whose otherworldly abilities can’t possibly be real. But when Stacia summons all her powers to prove what she really is, Alex will summon all his to believe in the vampire’s kiss….

KISSED BY A VAMPIRE by Caridad Pineiro-a review

KISSED BY A VAMPIRE by Caridad Pineiro (release October 16, 2012)

BOOK BLURB: For two thousand years, vampire elder Stacia has roamed on her own, haunted by the betrayal that turned her into a creature of the night. Her nights looming empty and eternal, Stacia longs for love, but settles for quick bites and sinful pleasures in South Beach. Until she comes face-to-face with the unforgettable DEA agent she once brought back from the brink of death.

Alex Garcia knows that demons exist—the real kind, the kind that are kidnapping women and selling them into slavery. Finding those victims is his focus—not a beautiful seductress whose otherworldly abilities can’t possibly be real. But when Stacia summons all her powers to prove what she really is, Alex will summon all his to believe in the vampire’s kiss.

~~~~~~~

Alex (Alejandro) Garcia knew death intimately. As a DEA agent he had faced the scenario on many occasions including the time he lost his ex-lover in a failed mission tying to prevent a terrorist attack in New York City. But Diana is still ‘alive’ with her vampire mate and Alex believes that those demons continue to haunt his nightmares. With his recent move to Miami, Alex is hoping to get back in the saddle, but his commander and the psychologist may have another thing to say. Still on leave, Alex will find himself enmeshed in the seedy underworld of white slavery when his friend calls in a favor. And the ‘demon’ from his dreams will figure prominently in his nightly stakeouts where he hopes to find a missing girl. Only this demon is a vampire and the one that saved his life.

Stacia is an ancient vampire. With her powers stronger than most, Stacia continues to lament her lonely existence. After suffering years of abuse at the hands of the man who turned her, Stacia believes that love has long passed her by. But stranger things have happened, and finding Alex Garcia in the same bar where she was trolling for food, clicked something inside Stacia that she had long thought died.

Their connection is immediate. Both realize the unnatural pull between them, but it was Stacia who feared that once Alex realized who she was, she would once again find herself alone and unloved. To ensure that she would never be hurt again, Stacia sabotages her relationship with Alex at every opportunity. But when Alex is closing in on the people involved with the missing women and girls, Stacia knows there is only one thing she can do, and that is to help the man with whom she has fallen in love.

KISSED BY THE VAMPIRE is a wonderful and emotional storyline of suspense and romance. Betrayal by someone you love is one of the hardest things to overcome, and it is no different in the world for an ancient vampire who believed that loved had passed her by. And to be accepted for the person you are, is one of the most surreal events in a long and lonely existence. Caridad writes an amazing story where the HEA is well deserved for everyone involved.
