Synopsis:
From Gena Showalter, the New York Times bestselling author of the Lords of the Underworld saga, comes Frost and Flame, the second book in the scorching paranormal romance series Gods of War.
Bane of Adwaeweth is the most feared immortal warrior in All War history. Possessed by a bloodthirsty beast, he will stop at nothing to win. Then he meets irresistible Nola Lee. He hates the power she wields over him, but she alone can rain vengeance upon his wife’s killer.
Unaware of her destiny to rule as queen of beasts, Nola battles illness, addiction and vulnerability. With Bane, however, she experiences pleasure for the first time, and only wants more. But being with him comes with a terrible price.
With enemies lurking around every corner, Bane and Nola must fight to survive. But time is running out, and neither can resist the sizzling attraction blazing between them. Will their romance save the beast and his beauty, or destroy everything they’ve come to love?

*Excerpt*
“Bane,” she said, a slight tremor in her voice. Do it. Say the words.
He sucked in a breath. “Do not do what you are about to do, princess. Do not issue a command. I will hate you for it.”
“I’m not responsible for your emotions. Besides, you already hate me. And I don’t care!” I kind of care.
“You should. I’m willing to keep you sister safe until we are the final two combatants in the All War.”
Not good enough. But maybe good enough for now?
Before she could render a verdict, he straightened and pulled her to her feet. “Come. We’re leaving.”
Considering she’d vomited everything she’d eaten for two days straight, her legs proved surprisingly steady.
Rather than opening a portal, her golden god eyed her like the last slice of cake in a baker’s display case and stalked a circle around her, unhurried. When her shoulder brushed his chest, a bolt of electricity shot through her. He must have felt it, too. He startled as he stopped directly in front of her.
Their gazes held, her senses heightening. Awareness of him magnified. His delectable heat engulfed her, bolstering his tantalizing scent, making her belly clench. The warmth of his exhalations fanned her face, teasing her skin, her lips.
Touch...
Desire rushed through her veins. Her nipples beaded, and she shivered. But the more aroused she became, the angrier he appeared.
Still, he said nothing. She said nothing, speech beyond her skill set. The need for contact eclipsed the need to protect herself from yet another rejection. And he would reject her. That disdain...
Giving him a chance to rebuke her, Nola lifted her arms as slow as molasses. His shallow breaths quickened, but he did not step away. Finally, she flattened her hands over his pectorals, skin to white-hot skin. Muscles jumped, his heart racing beneath her palm.
“Such strength,” she muttered, entranced.
“Such beauty.” He wrapped his fingers around her wrists, holding her in place as if he couldn’t bear to let her go?
A thousand desires bombarded her at once. Kiss him. Pet every inch of him. Tear off his clothes. Shove him to the ground, and ride him to oblivion.
Oh, no, no, no. Sleep with Bane, a (kind of) stranger and a killer? No! Yes! Maybe?
Don't miss Shadow and Ice (book 1)!
