Season, Unforgettable
Keta Diablo – Award-Winning and Amazon Bestselling Author
About Season, Unforgettable
* New Adult Thriller/Romance
*Finalist* Independent Author Network Book Awards
Season Scrimshaw isn't selling the land her parents left her when they died, not even to the gorgeous Rann Brogan who saved her life in the forest. Especially not after she finds out he was in the woods surveying herproperty.
Rann's mother, Charlotte, owns a large land development company. She wants Season’s property to put up a strip of luxurious, lakefront condos and Charlotte always gets what she wants. She sends Rann on a mission to cement the deal. To say Rann and his mother have had a normal mother/son relationship would be a stretch…a big stretch, but he’s always done her bidding.
This time it’s different. Rann hasn’t been able to get the beautiful Season out of his mind. While on his mission to secure the property, he realizes how much Season loves the land, and…he realizes somewhere along the line, Season has stolen his heart.
He soon discovers his mother will go to any length to get what she wants…including murder. Lives spiral out of control, secrets and lies take center stage. Rann is forced to choose between his mother and the woman he loves.
And he’s forced to become as dangerous and as lethal as Charlotte.
* A stand-alone Contemporary New Adult/Thriller.
Praise for Season, Unforgettable
"WOW! Diablo has a great new hit here! You will enjoy this from beginning to end. This is my honest opinion: I loved this story and would have loved for it to just kept going. I'm sure that everyone has read a book that they could have enjoyed it no matter how long it was. This is one of those books." Kayla Sue, Amazon, 5 stars
"Keta Diablo has timed each piece of her romantic puzzle to perfection. As they begin to fall into place, I found myself lost in the entanglements of two worlds colliding, while being warped by evil. Hang on tight; this ride is full of twists, turns and the power of this author's imagination. I can definitely say, I never thought this tale would unfold the way it did, no cookie cutter writing from this author!" Tome Tender, 5 Stars
"When disaster strikes, it hits hard and no character sees it coming. The antagonist in the story, sadly for the main characters, is as smart as they are bad, so the plan nearly succeeds far too well. I liked the story very much, enjoyed the ending, and I hope the author does another story in this world with the Matt and Bernadette's story." The Leisure Zone, 4.5 Stars
"I thought it was going to be a normal chase through fall in love, fight with mom, kind of story, but I was pleasantly surprised when the story changed. Loved the twist as it was quite dark, and unexpected, but worked beautifully for the story. Don't want to give away too much for those of you yet to read the book. I enjoyed it." Cashmere, 5 Stars
Excerpt:
About to reach for her cell in the passenger seat, Season checked her rearview mirror first. A cloud of dust had formed behind her car, a whirling dervish that screeched fast and furious. If it didn’t slow down, and there wasn’t a lane on either side to pass her, how would it navigate around her?
Kaboom! The car slammed into her tailgate. Her neck whipped forward and then back again. Full-blown terror snaked down her spine. The car hadn’t stopped; it was still swerving and swaying behind her. She didn’t dare pull over. This was no accident but an intentional act. She wracked her brain. Had she pulled out in front of someone unknowingly? What about the clerk at the store? God, she couldn’t even remember what he looked like. Had he followed her?
Kaboom! A scream seized her throat. The Denali veered to the right. Tires squealed, hers or the other vehicle’s she didn’t know. Curve-eternal still loomed ahead with no driveways or turnarounds in sight. Frantic now, she searched the seat for her phone. Her hand met flat leather. It must have fallen during the last ram.
With one eye on the gravel road, one in the rearview mirror, a beam of sunlight illuminated the maniac’s car. Spiders crawled over her skin. Silver SUV? No, it can’t be! An engine roared and then brakes squealed. She clung to the steering wheel and prayed.
Bam! The Denali screamed its outrage or was it the sound of broken glass? A steep bank ahead flashed in her line of vision. Dear God, help me! Oh no, oh, no. Like a spinning top, the Denali flipped, ass over tea kettle. Immense pain shot through her body. Something warm and sticky ran down her face. Why hadn’t the air bag deployed? Her vision faded in and out, and she couldn’t form a rational thought. Oh, Pearl, we’re dying. Duna! Oh, my God, Duna, I-I shouldn’t have listened to you this time, should have followed my aura meter.
Lying snake.

Fabulous trade review for THINGS SHE'S SEEN

Em's Halloween Tarot Reading
Em is the main character in THINGS SHE’S SEEN (Northern Circle Coven #2). Em was exploited as a child psychic medium, but escaped as a teenager to live on the streets. While on the run, she and her lover, Alice, hung out behind the scenes at the Royal Palm Theater in Tampa. Em made spare cash by giving the actors messages from their deceased mentors and grandparents. Alice read cards for a living. Often times, they’d spend the night in the closed theater, drinking and goofing around on the stage.
Late one Halloween night, after the actors and employees had left the theater, Alice got out her tarot cards and did a one card reading for Em. Just a single card, drawn as they sat centerstage with a bottle of cheap wine, a bag of candy corn, and only a candle for light.
The drawn card depicted a woman petting a lion, controlling it with compassion and composure rather than force. An infinity symbol floated in the air above the woman’s head.
“The Strength Card,” Alice said. “It symbolizes courage, confidence, and passion. The triumph of intelligence over brute strength, and morality over evil. Calming inner storms of doubt, leads to becoming the true master of your own mind and abilities, and control over all aspects of your world. Heroic. Just and righteous.”
Em laughed. “The cards sure missed the mark this time. Heroic? Confident? Definitely, not me.”
“That’s where you’re wrong. The card is you—on all levels.” Alice’s eyes brightened, glistening and full of innuendo. “The card also indicates a person who has an adventurous and unconventional romantic life.”
Heat washed Em’s face. She leaned in, pushed back a stray curl of dark hair from Alice’s face, and kissed her cheek gently. “That part is true, for sure.”
As Alice put the tarot cards away and they then finished the bottle of wine, Em didn’t begin to realize just how true the reading would prove to be. But years later she would recall it, when a haunted man returned to her life and she received a very different one card draw from Alice. A card revealed to her in a nightmare.
The Death card.

LET THE HUNT BEGIN!
Two Thousand Years
By M. Dalto
Release Date: December 11, 2018
New Adult Fantasy
Summary From Goodreads:
Two thousand years ago, the Prophecy of Fire and Light foretold the coming of the Queen Empress who would lead the Empire into a time of peace and tranquility. But instead of the coming of a prosperous world, a forbidden love for the Empress waged a war that ravaged the land, creating a chasm between the factions, raising the death toll of innocent lives until the final, bloody battle.
Centuries later, Alexandra, a twenty-two-year-old barista living in Boston, is taken to an unfamiliar realm of mystery and magic where her life is threatened by Reylor, its banished Lord Steward. She crosses paths with Treyan, the arrogant and seductive Crown Prince of the Empire, and together they discover how their lives, and their love, are so intricately intertwined by a Prophecy set in motion so many years ago.
Alex, now the predestined Queen Empress Alexstrayna, whose arrival was foretold by the Annals of the Empire, controls the fate of her new home as war rages between the Crown Prince and Lord Steward. Either choice could tear her world apart as she attempts to keep the Empire's torrid history from repeating itself. In a realm where betrayal and revenge will be as crucial to her survival as love and honor, Alex must discover whether it is her choice - or her fate - that determines how she survives the Empire's rising conflicts.

EXCLUSIVE CONTENT
MARK OF THE EMPRESS
Chapter One
Chapter One
A kiss was supposed to be a sign of affection, or used to seal a pact, or even bestowed as a final goodbye.
It was never supposed to bring someone back from the dead.
Alex had already mourned, grieved and accepted the loss of her husband.
She and Crystal spent a month trying to save his life after he appeared through the Key, wounded and poisoned.
She said her farewells. She accepted their fate and was ready for both of them to have some semblance of peace and carry on.
Yet there he was, sitting across from her with a mug of coffee between his hands as though it was just another day in their mundane existence.
Treyan was supposed to be dead, but she brought him back to life.
She didn't know which scared her more.
"I suppose it's not that surprising, when you think about it."
Treyan broke the silence, snapping Alex from her train of thought, and she looked to her husband as he took a sip from his mug. "You received the Mark from a kiss. Why should it's powers not be transferred in the same manner?"
Alex’s hand went to the starburst-like burn scar between her brows, ever warm to the touch. "But you were dead."
"And so were you, if you recall."
She tried not to, and brought her hand down to her own mug of coffee before her.
"So, what do we do now?" Alex asked, softly blowing at the steaming cup between her hands.
The question lingered between them for a moment, as if each were weighing the severity of the inquiry through the uncomfortable silence. Finally, Treyan shrugged, his attention focused again on his own mug before him.
"Whatever we do, we'll do it together, and we'll survive doing it."
She didn’t want to think of the need to survive or otherwise, so Alex quickly changed the subject. "You still don't remember anything?"
Treyan's inability to remember exactly how he arrived back at her apartment in Boston proved to be more of the mystery. Alex watched her husband for a minute, and she could see the flashes of memory from his last moments within the Empire as they ran through his mind.
Treyan shook his head as if trying to clear away the haze. "I remember confronting Reylor in the library while he hovered over the Annals, and I remember the agony of the sword coming down along my back."
Alex’s brows furrowed and she pursed her lips. The last person she wanted to think about was Reylor. The banished Lord Steward should have remained in the Borderlands and left the Empire alone. Instead he infiltrated their sanctuary and turned their own people against them.
She gritted her teeth at the thought. If she ever got her hands on that spy of a Mistress, she truly believed she would murder her. It was Bria who so cowardly attacked Treyan, and it was Bria, through whatever poison she coated on that blade, who inflicted Treyan's back with such a severe wound that it sent them all through a month of torment.
Bria who, in the end, caused Treyan’s demise… or would have if not for one appropriately timed kiss.
Her musings were interrupted by the startled cry of an infant waking up from yet another nap. Even after a month, the actuality of the baby belonging to her remained fresh and new. Yet every time she heard the familiar cry from her daughter's lungs, the initial smile that came to her face quickly turned to a frown as she remembered the son they had been forced to leave behind.
"I'll get her."
Treyan stood before she could move, the look on his face almost sympathetic as if he knew where her memory took her. Alex's eyes met his before he left the room, and she had to remind herself Sarayna was his daughter as well.
Instead of arguing, Alex simply nodded.
She watched her husband retreat down the hallway of her one-bedroom apartment. Having Treyan with her in her realm, and knowing him for who he was instead of some wannabe stalker-turned-rescuer, sent butterflies through her stomach. Regardless of what happened, or what brought him to the Otherrealm, he was hers and she his, and they now had a family together
She shouldn't need anything more.
And yet there was still so muchshe wanted.
With her coffee mug in hand, Alex stood from the small breakfast table in the kitchen and padded into the living room where she would be able to look out to the city street. From her ground-floor apartment, she watched the sun kiss the cityscape as a soft breeze rustled fallen leaves down the sidewalk. It was October, just over a month since she and Sarayna fell through the Key's portal, but it felt like it was only yesterday when Treyan first brought her to the Empire.
With a slight smirk, Alex remembered it might possibly have been only yesterday.
When she returned to Boston, bruised, battered and fresh off the birthing bed, her friend Crystal had informed her that it was only two days— forty-eight hours at the most— since they were last together.
For Alex, however, almost a year of her life had passed within the Empire.
In that time, she became the Queen Empress.
She married the Empire’s Crown Prince.
She gave birth to the twins that could continue their Prophecy.
The cold grip of despair returned to her heart as she recalled those final moments with their stolen son.
While Sarayna was soothed by her father in the next room, their son Lexan remained with Reylor, Betrayer to the Empire. Neither of them knew what Treyan’s brother planned to do with their son while he was in the former Lord Steward's custody.
Alex's grief quickly turned to fury as she clenched the coffee mug so tight, she didn’t care if it shattered between her hands. She imagined it was Bria's scrawny little neck between her hands.
"Alex?"
Treyan startled her from her murderous rage as he lingered in the entryway with the baby cradled on his shoulder. The sight calmed her as she looked at her husband gently holding their daughter.
She was theirdaughter, just as Lexan wastheirson.
Alex plastered on a smile as she walked towards them, but the look on Treyan’s face told her he wasn't falling for it. Placing her coffee cup down on the side table next to the couch, she reached out for Sara but he didn't appear to be ready to give her up. Instead, he gave his wife a knowing glance as if he was trying to assess the current state of her mental readiness.
"I'm fine," she assured him as she again motioned to take the infant. He finally released Sarayna into her mother's care, though she could tell in the way he watched her that he remained hesitant. Alex couldn't blame him— her emotional stability aside, he had been without his daughter for so long, perhaps he needed the comfort as much as Alex did.
She placed Sarayna on her own shoulder and returned to the window before Treyan could sense her unease. Sara, however, watched her mother with the attentive alertness unique to an infant through the bright blue eyes of the Empire born. Eyes exactly like her father's…
And most likely her uncle's before he betrayed the Empire.
Alex shook thoughts of Reylor from her head as she returned her attention to the scenery outside her window. That bastard would die, too, if she had anything to say about it.
And she did.
She was the Empress, after all.
In her arms she held the future Crown Princess who would, in her own time, search for her King Emperor, bring him back to the Empire, and inevitably begin her own Prophecy.
Even though they weren’t there any longer, it still mattered. It had to matter.
What was any of it worth if it didn’t?
She knew Treyan was watching her, and she glanced over her shoulder to where he leaned against the doorjamb of the living room. He smiled at her, holding his own coffee mug again, and she returned the sentiment with her own small grin.
Coffee was what first brought them together, and now it was coffee they drank as they tried to piece together all that was lost.
What were they going to do?
Alex held her daughter tighter to her chest. The question haunted her ever since she and Saranya came through the Key within her living room's fireplace not a month ago, and even more so once Treyan arrived soon after. If it wasn't for Crystal, Alex didn't know how she would have gotten by on her own. Her friend was no stranger to shock, and refused to leave Alex's side while she helped her through it.
She was lost deeper in her thoughts than she realized for the next thing Alex knew, Treyan was standing behind her with his chin resting on her unoccupied shoulder as his arms wrapped around her waist. His touch always calmed her body, if not her mind, and she let out a sigh of relief as she leaned back against his chest.
"It will be okay, Alex," Treyan whispered against her neck. "We'll find a way to get home."
Alex closed her eyes and scoffed. "And then what?"
"And then we will take back what is ours." His tone grew serious and she glanced at him, trying to get a better reading on his intent.
He kept his gaze down, but she knew well what he implied, though it was the first time she had heard him vocalize it so vehemently.
Taking advantage of Sara falling asleep on her shoulder, Alex stepped out of Treyan's grasp. “I’m going to put her back down,” she said quietly as she left to lay the newborn in the bedroom.
Truth be told, Alex didn't have an answer, or a plan, or an opinion on the matter of returning to the Empire. Ever since she came back, her life revolved around caring for their newborn daughter while making her ailing husband as comfortable as possible during his last days.
It wasn’t until Treyan’s recovery that she finally considered returning.
Of course, in her heart she hoped they'd be able to return to the Empire, but those aspirations seemed to dwindle the longer they remained in Boston. The longer they delayed, the more time Reylor had to prepare for them. And Lexan would grow so much older than his sister…
Would he even remember them? Or would his loyalty, love, and devotion belong solely to Reylor?
As she quietly shut the bedroom door, she wondered if her sleeping daughter would ever see her father's realm again. Or meet her brother.
Treyan had made his way back to the couch by the time Alex returned to the living room. The sun from the window reflected on his black hair, and she swore she could see hints of dark blue highlights in the midnight-toned mane. Maybe he sensed her watching him because he looked over his shoulder with his striking smile that always caught her breath in her throat. His eyes still shone with the same unnatural blue that seemed to capture the sunlight within his irises.
As with the first time they met, Alex was drawn to him by some force beyond her control, and she was soon next to him on the couch, allowing herself to be comforted within his strong arms. His warmth calmed her while she snuggled against him, and they remained as such for a few moments longer before a knock at the apartment's door captured their attention.
"It's probably Crystal coming back to check-in," Alex assured him as she stood from the couch. Picking up her coffee mug, she reached her other hand out for his. "I'll freshen up the pot because I know we're going to need it."
Nodding, Treyan handed her his mug but remained on the couch. He seemed uneasy at the mention of Crystal, a stranger he didn’t know coming into the apartment where their remaining child slept. He'd need to get over it, she mused to herself as she walked into the kitchen. Without her neither of them would have much to stand on, literally and figuratively.
She wondered if Treyan's uneasiness stemmed from the awkwardness of having to deal with a drunken Crystal when they first met during Alex’s birthday gathering. She smiled while trying to imagine Treyan ever in an awkward position.
The knocking continued incessantly and Alex was beginning to get annoyed.
"I'll be right there!" she yelled towards the door. Hurriedly, she finished filling their mugs, taking a sip from hers as she headed towards the door. With her free hand, she unlocked the three newly replaced deadbolts and opened it to welcome her friend.
The mug dropped from her hand and shattered on the floor when it was evident the visitor wasn't Crystal at all.
"What the fuck are you doing here?"
