Mitch Justice Series By Kathi S Barton Release Day & Winner Announced 12/28/15

Kathi BartonLeave a comment
Mitch Riley was a haunted man, and being a necromancer didn’t have much to do with what haunted him. A troubled childhood left him withdrawn and short tempered, so when he received a summons that he was being sued by the foster parents who had abused him, he didn’t take it well at all. And their attorney? None other than a vamp. There was nothing much worse than a vamp in Mitch’s opinion.



Victoria Graham, or Vinnie her mother had nicknamed her, wasn’t expecting the man her clients were suing to be her mate, and a necromancer. She would have refused the case had she known she’d be walking into a den of necromancers. She had grown up on horror stories that necromancers were the one thing that could kill her kind, and it was clear the man hated her very existence…. But when he touched her, she’d lost control of her magic…and her mind too apparently.

Prologue  
Vinnie watched his face. She could see that he was pissed off. About what, she had a good idea at the moment, but the way he had come into the room like he owned it made her think it was less about the lawsuit and more about her—a vampire. She’d heard from Gilda, her secretary, that Mr. Riley did not play well with others, and not at all with vampires. Vinnie hoped that that part might have been wrong. Apparently not. “You’re very beautiful.” Both of them flushed, and he looked away from her. “But be that as it may, Miss Graham, I will not need your services now or in the future.” “They’re not going to go away. And neither will I. There are more than just you in this suit, Mr. Riley. They’ve named nineteen people in this stupidity. And if only one of you lose to them, they will go after more stupid claims.” He turned and looked at her, and Vinnie could see that he was getting madder by the second. “I can go away, leave you to whatever it is you do, but they’re going to come at you. And if they can’t get it from you, they’ll sue Mr. Bennett here.” “They’re working on that now.” Vinnie glanced at Steele when he spoke, but she watched Mitch. “They contacted my firm this morning, saying that I’m harboring you and they want their money. I’m not entirely sure what they think that means, but I’m sure that their lawyer will explain. I have a meeting with them next week.” “You can’t be serious. Why are they going after you?” Vinnie started to tell Mitch why, but he answered his own question. “I see. You’re the rich and powerful Steele Bennett, right? Will they go after Addie next? Or her grandmother?” “I’m sure that they have.” Mitch looked at her again. “This isn’t going to go away. Newspapers have picked it up. A television crew was at their home just last week, and was showing how much they’ve suffered because of the way you and the others as children have done them wrong.” “We did them wrong? Do you have any idea what we had to suffer living there? The things that we had to do for a single meal a day?” She said nothing, and Mitch started pacing. The man could say more in one step than most people said in a whole conversation. “I ran away. I was only there for less than a year. And in that time…in that time I was treated with atrocities that would…it was not a safe place for a child, much less a bunch of us.” When Gilda stood up, Vinnie shook her head at her. She knew things too. Things that had happened to this young man that should never have happened to an adult, much less a child. When Gilda sat down, Vinnie looked at Hugo. He nodded once and picked up her briefcase, as well as her coat. If Mitch wouldn’t help her, then there was nothing much more she could do to make him. As they made their way to the door, Hugo stepped in front of her when someone or something moved beside her. “She wants to know if you’re related to Mr. Horatio Graham.” Vinnie grabbed the back of the chair she was standing next to and nodded at Mitch. “She said that she’s glad that you’re no longer with him, but she wants to know if you killed him or did he get caught at something?” 
“He was staked. About ten years ago.” Vinnie looked around and saw no one, but she could feel it. A presence that she’d felt before since coming into this house. “Who’s there?” “She said that it’s not important right now. And you should know that you brought her here with you.” Mitch sat in the chair across from her and stared at something to her immediate left. “The woman is older, about sixtyish, I’d say. Dark hair and wearing a dress from about the turn of the century. I’d say she’s been gone for about fifty years.” Vinnie moved around the chair then and sat down. She could feel Hugo there. He would never leave her, but Gilda was standing back. If this was who she thought it was, then Gilda would be in danger. All of them would be. “Her name…ask her if she’s Millicent. I don’t know if I ever knew her last name.” Mitch nodded. “I see. And you can speak to her? See her even?” “I can. You can’t, I take it.” Vinnie said she couldn’t see the dead. “I can. Did you know that before coming here?” Vinnie stood up. She was slightly dizzy and terrified, but she stood straight now. “I’m sorry to have bothered you, Mr. Riley. I’m sure that without your help, the Bruces will win a suit or two, and that might satisfy them for a while.” “I asked you a question, Miss Graham. Did you know that we were a house of necromancers when you came here?”  She hadn’t, and she doubted that she would have come had she known. But as she made her way to the door, nearly running now, she could only think to get away, get her little family away. But Mitch stepped in front of her just as she reached for the door. Backing away from him, she didn’t even look at him as she answered. “I didn’t, as a matter of fact. I wish I had known, but I’m guessing that there really isn’t any way that you could advertise such a thing and expect people to believe you. I’d very much like to go.” “She’s not here right now. Steele sent her away. For now.” The relief was profound. And before she realized what was happening, she felt herself being lifted up. Hugo had her. But when she looked into his face, it wasn’t that of her bodyguard, but of Mitch Riley. “Let me down.” He held her still, taking her to what she thought was the kitchen. “There is nothing in here that I can use to make me feel better. I’d very much like to be left to go please.” “Hush.” Vinnie started to snap at him, but she was sat down on a table and a wet cloth was slapped in her hand. “What does she have over you? It must be big for a badassed vamp like you to get yourself all worked up about.” Vinnie laid the dishtowel on the table and stood up. She was stronger now, more than likely due to being so angry. But when she started to leave the room, Mitch grabbed her by the arm. Vinnie felt her temper snap, and she let her power go. 

Jedidiah by Kathi S Barton Release Day 11/2/15

Kathi BartonLeave a comment
Lindsey Decker is hiding in the woods when the dragon shifter, Casdon, finds her on their property. She’s tired, hungry, in a lot of pain, and absolutely determined not to ask for any help. She just needs to stay hidden before that idiot Cox finds her and probably kills her this time. The cave she found will provide some protection if she doesn’t freeze to death first.


Jedidiah Benson and his dragon shifter Zak are at odds. When Casdon tells the family of the injured woman hiding in the caves, Zak knows immediately upon finding her that the girl is his and Jedidiah’s mate, but Jedidiah refuses to even look at the girl proclaiming he wouldn’t know what to do with a mate. Zak has no reservations and knows if they don’t do something fast she’ll die.


Lindsey wakes between two gorgeous men and isn’t sure if she’s dreaming or still in a fevered state. The things she wants to do with these men, both of them, should feel wrong, but instead feels it’s her destiny.


Lindsey is destined for more than two mates. Lindsey is a beacon for the lost dragons. It’s time for their return, but it’s still dangerous for them to do so. They’re being hunted, and no one is safe….

Prologue  
Eve moved back and forth between the small room and the larger one where her children lay nestled in their protective shells. The kingdom was being ripped apart; her mate, father to her children, was being murdered even as she made preparations for the children she’d never see born. Making one more trip, the one that would give them the key to get to what she had worked so hard to make sure they had, Eve lay down and spoke to her sons. “You will each, someday, come to be in love. It is the most wondrous feeling of all you will ever feel. If only I could see you then…the grown men that you will be, with the loves of your lives with you carrying on our names and the dragon line. And sons of my good friend Sally…she will help you in ways that I could never do. If only….” Shifting into a more comfortable position, her heart nearly as dead as her body, she touched her fingers to each of them, then picked up her second born. He was meant for things that would bring much to others…happiness mostly, but some sadness too. But he would be great in his life, bringing magic to those that he loved. Touching her fingers over the crown of his shell, Eve smiled. “Zak, you will love like none other. Your mate will come to you terrified and full of hate. Not of you but of another, one you will see die by the hand of another, but she will need you no less for it. You and your other half will bring her to love you back.” Setting him down, Eve spoke to the others before laying her head down on the warmed stone. “When I was born, so many centuries ago that I have long since forgotten the year, there were so many of us. Dragons were plentiful, mates and families grew, and more came yearly. Then one year in my youth, a woman—a witch—came to us, warning us all that things were going to change. That soon, all of us would be killed by men, humans. Caroline was not just correct in her telling, but she even went with us when we traveled.” She put her hand around Kiaran and held him to her as she spoke. “No one believed her but my father. He packed us up that night, and we left as the skies were turning pink for the new day. As we flew away, another family, this one of greater magic than ours, came with us. That was the family of your grandparents, the sire of your father and his mate.” Her body was dying, slowly but without pain now. As she lay there thinking of them still, her family and how much they had endured to keep her safe, she thought of the couple who would care for her children, Sally and Jacob. “I knew her family long ago. And that of Jacob. His family was a part of the humans that we had lived with, as was hers. Sally you will come to love as a mother, for which I should be jealous of her but am not. Her grandmother, like her granddaughter, was one of the kindest women I ever met, human or otherwise. She would bring me sweets when she had any to spare, and I would, in kind, take her meat when I was out hunting. It was fair trade for what we gave to each other. Her granddaughter is no different in her love and understanding of us dragons.” Closing her eyes, Eve felt Anthony’s pain and his urgency to have the young couple understand what he needed 
from them. “He is a good and wonderful man, your father. So much like his own sire that it takes my breath away to know that he is all mine.” She looked at her children, and then at Zak. Smiling, she touched him again, giving him a little more than she had the rest. “You will survive more than most. Love harder than anyone, and be hurt for it in a way that no one will ever be able to see. Zak, my second born, child of my heart, I will give you a gift. A gift that only a woman of your heart will understand and be able to touch. You will have a child like none other. A child born of magic from all dragons.” Touching him now, she knew that she had only moments to live. Tears burned her cheeks as she thought of all that she would miss. Holding Kiaran to her heart, her body slipped away into death, and she knew. Her last thoughts were that her children would be safe.  Just before her last breath left her body, her heart burned in pain. Not because of the arrow that had pierced it, but because her one and only love was dead as well. Anthony had protected them with all that he had, and she was more in love with him then than she’d thought possible. “Anthony, my love. I will miss you. Until we are together again.” Eve let her body go. Her heart stopped beating, and she did not move again. It was done. Everything was set, and she was done.

The Grant Brothers Bonus Chapter 10/30/15

Kathi BartonLeave a comment

                                                      Meet Conner Grant !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was just leaving the Grant construction site when Uncle Nicky called and told me to haul my ass over to the Grant building that they need to talk to me about something. I am driving over to there and remember how I meet my dad and all my uncles that I have grown to love so much.
Wow, that has been 13 years already. All of them have had more children, there are so many cousins now that the house is packed at holidays. And I love every minute of it. And Mac, my sister is turning sixteen already and getting ready to take her driver’s test to drive. Not to mention she’s driving mom mad with how she is allowed to drive but not date yet. My life is really good now.
I pull up to the Grant building and head for dad’s office. But he is not in there and I think I’ve went to the wrong place. I ask Aunt Dane where mom and dad are.
“They’re waiting for you up in your Uncle Nicky’s boardroom.” She smiled at me. “Go on up.”
At this point I look to Anna, Aunt Dane’s daughter, who is standing by her mom wondering if I did something wrong. Anna just shrugs her shoulders like she has no idea what’s happening either. God, I wish Anthony was here right now. He’d know and would tell him.
I leave dad’s office and take the stairs two at a time, hurrying to get up and to see what the hell is going on. I enter the room and there they all are.
“Conner please take a seat,” mom says to me. I think of firing squads and walking the last mile as I take the seat she pointed to.
At this point I am sweating my ass off and looking at my Uncle Bryon and Uncle Devin hoping for some help. Uncle Nicky has a pissed off look on his face. But I’m not sure it’s about me, as far as I know, I’ve been pretty good.
“Conner, we would like for you to host this year’s charity event,” dad says. “You know that Grandma died a few years ago and we had hired people to run the events while I was trying to start up my own construction business. But that’s not worked out so far. We were hoping that you’d do it for us.”
“Me? I don’t know anything about events.” I feel panicky. “Wait, can’t Aunt Dane and Aunt Ronnie do it? I’m sure that they’d do a better job than I could.”
“No, they can’t. As you know, Grandma always took care of The Daniel Parker Foundation, a foundation which you started and we hold charity events every year. It raises a great deal of money, as you know and we help a lot of people. This is your foundation, Connor, which you started and you haven’t been to the last three events and we’ve all noticed. So at this event tonight you’ll be there to host it.” Conner wanted to run and hide but his dad spoke again. “Conner do you hear me?”
I looked around the table and seen everyone eyes on me and I know that I am not getting out of it this year all I can say is yes Dad I will be there. He smiles at me and I have a feeling they knew I was going to do it all along.
Tonight is the event and I have no date. Jessie, someone that I had been seeing off and on, mostly off, called me this morning to tell me she did not want to see me anymore. I believe she said I was an arrogant ass. It’s not the first time I’ve been called that but it did hurt this time. I have no idea why, it’s not like I loved her or anything.
This event thing has my stomach turning in knots. I not sure I can do this without grandma by my side. She’s been my rock, my mentor and the one person in the world that I could go and talk to and feel like she really got me. My grandma was the best. I miss her more and more everyday it seems.
I get to the event late by a few minutes and mom and dad just simply shake their heads. I can never get anywhere on time and they know it. They also know how I feel about this and why. I’ve never been very good at crowds of people.
The event goes smoothly and I make my speech, which it’s not half bad I think then I start to mingle with the crowds. I’ve never been very good at small talk and I really don’t know many of these people.
Damn it, about an hour into this thing and I don’t believe I am going to make it through the night. It’s hot and boring and I’d much rather be out in the night sitting under the stars alone. Or with a pretty woman.
I turn to go talk to Nick and Anthony when it happens. I run into one of the most beautiful women I have seen and my drink goes all over her.
“Do you always walk and not look to where in the hell you going? Or did you think, hey, I’ll pour a sticky drink all over the first girl I see just for shits and giggles?” At this point I am just starring at her and can’t seem to talk. “Hello? What is wrong with you? Did you hit your head as a kid?”
I’m sorry, I just didn’t…I didn’t know you were there.” That even sounded lame to me. “I wasn’t paying attention.”
“Of course you weren’t. You’re one of the high and mighty Grants, aren’t you?” Before he could ask her what does that meant, she cut me off. “Never mind I have to get back to work and smell like rum and coke and be sticky all night.”
Before I could catch her name or anything else about her, she turned and walked away. I feel like I’ve just made a major mistake here and I have no idea how to fix it.
Nick and Anthony, my cousins started walking towards me laughing their asses off and it reminds me how dad met my mom and all the other Grant men had messed up so badly wait their own wives. I wonder if my cousins, any of them will fare any better.
These two, Aunt Morgan and Uncle Nicky twins are home from college for the charity event and I enjoyed hooking up with them.
“Conner, you moron, didn’t you see her coming at you? Christ, you’re such a dork.” Nick is laughing at me and I want to punch him in the face.
No I wasn’t paying too much attention, I guess. Besides I was coming to talk to you two jerks, now I’m not so sure I want to be around you.”
“Oh wow, Aunt Charlie is going to be pissed if you don’t find her to tell her you are sorry. Besides, I think she’s pretty, don’t you?” Anthony looks around like he’s trying to find her and all I can think about is he’d better not.
She’s mine, I whisper to myself and all I can think of how beautiful she is and I need to find her.

Skylar Manning was just trying to be nice. The mysterious man dressed in black was hanging around after closing…again. It was the third time this week. Only this time he grabbed her arm. Her world changed forever.
Suddenly she found herself hunted by shadowy figures with razor sharp teeth, and into the arms of a warrior who craved her as much as she did him…

<strong>Sapphire</strong>

Blair tries to convince himself that he’s chasing after Sapphire because he feels an overwhelming need to protect her and she just won’t follow orders. When he comes across as a complete jerk, Sapphire really wants no part of him. Of course, leaving him isn’t going to work…she’s his mate. Now, if only he can get his head out of his ass, learn to treat Sapphire the way she should be treated, maybe, just maybe, there is a chance for them…that is unless Jeffery Benetton finds her first…

<strong>Force of Nature</strong>

Austin didn’t want to be impressed by her. He didn’t want to like her. He wanted her to obey him, whelp a few pups so she wouldn’t be bored and run his house for him. CJ wanted to do as she please which included maybe murdering the Alpha in his sleep. The two of them coming together is wonderfully steamy and sarcastic wit. Austin and CJ will make great alpha’s…or will they?

<strong>Nickolas</strong>

Nickolas Grant doesn’t know what to do when he finally realizes that he needs Morgan Becky for more than just his secretary. He doesn’t trust her… not with his love not even his friendship.

Morgan has not had an easy life and finds it difficult to trust others. She needs to get her life in order, not fall for her handsome boss with a stiff spine and foul temper.
When they come together in fiery passion and biting words, no one is safe, not even them.

<strong>Cain</strong>

The girl went by many names. Julie was the one the nurse called her, Shade and also Miss Rocky was just a few more. But it was her real name that she held to her. No one must know who she was or they’d try and kill her. And the good doctor was someone she decided that.

<strong>Royce</strong>

Royce and Kasey have a love that extends over time and could make them very happy…if they don’t kill each other first.
