Love Awakened: Love Trilogy, Book Three Mary Newman

Publisher Marketing: Lady Ubutu Moira has a problem. It seems she has the ability to influence the weather and her current sadness at being a widow with a young son means torrential rains, flooding, and a climate change for the planet of Arel. Add in the fact that Tistan Sologne always seems to rub her the wrong way, and you've got thunder and lightning to make matters worse. Tistan Sologne has no desire to become the next leader of Arel, but he's just been chosen to do so since his elder brother, Bendel has renounced Arel and taken a mate from another world. And now his longtime friend, the cat-shifting Lord Ubutu Tigarus is unexpectedly killed, leaving the woman Tistan has loved since they day he met her free to take another mate. But even as he finds himself falling more in love with Moira, Tistan is plagued with feelings of betraying Tigarus. When a conspiracy emerges from Ubutu Clan that threatens the life of Moira and her young son, Tistan vows to keep both of them safe; even if that vow means going against his own father. While working to uncover who is behind the conspiracy, Moira discovers a secret her own mate had kept from her. A betrayal so hurtful it could damage the relationship between Tistan and his father beyond repair. Contributor Bio:  Newman, Mary I'm a self-published writer of romance set on worlds that live only in my mind. If you think it can't happen, well, I do my best to prove you wrong. Physics? Yeah, not in my world. I like to take the most unlikely of couples (or trios) and give them a happily ever after. My characters quite often pick up the personalities of my family and friends - which can lead to the most interesting of conversations, believe me. My life has become that of a nomad, something I always dreamed of doing. My home is currently a 27-foot, 1986 RV that I've named Myrtle. I go wherever the wind blows me (Sometimes that's literal, not figurative. You should try steering a class A motor home down the highway in a crosswind.) My traveling companions are Mija, a rescued hound of unknown mixed heritage, and a rose point Siamese named Kiko who delights in tormenting both Mija and me when we'd rather be relaxing or sleeping. At the age of 53, having raised all of my children to adulthood - some of them kicking and screaming the entire way - I've decided to do whatever makes me happy. Currently, that happiness is found in writing, visiting and spoiling grandchildren, and making sure my kids have frequent headaches wondering what I'll do next. When I say been there, done that I want it to be the truth. You can find me on Twitter (@writermnewman), Facebook, Goodreads, or tooling down the highway looking for my next destination.
