Growing up the son of a fairy King – Easy.
Being accepted to the fiercest, strongest, fairy warrior army ever
to protect the realm – Easy.
Making the human girl, who holds your destiny in her hands, fall
in love with you – Not so Easy.
When the Fairy Kingdom of Avalon comes under attack, Prince
Killian, Fairy warrior, and heir to the throne, prepares for battle. But when
the prophesy of a Seer overshadows his fate and while his family is dying
around him, he flees Avalon to the Human Realm. He vows to return and claim his
destiny, only…he never thought his vengeance would mean fifty years stuck in
the human realm with no way home.
Reagan Lunsa is completely alone and she thinks she likes it that
way. She buries her grief from her parents’ mysterious disappearance, 3 years
ago by keeping busy at her university art school and working at Faircrest’s New
Age shop. All while secretly spending every free moment on solving the mystery
of what really happened to her parents.
On a rare night out her attention is caught by a handsome, sexy
bartender who seeks her out, asking for friendship, and maybe more. This
stranger is unlike any man she's ever known.
And when she discovers he’s also hiding secrets her world turns
upside down, all while she falls deeply in love with this protective, and
patient Fairy prince.
Reagan finds that learning to trust again is harder than she
thought. Especially when the truth, and her love, leads her into a world unlike
she has ever known.
A world where fairies exist and humans are not welcome.

Excerpt
“Can I help you?” I ask from the closet where I am pulling open boxes from my real home.
“You know you can, but you keep knocking me back.”
Alex snorts at him while shaking her head. “Dude, do you ever give up?”
“Nope, why would I?” He smiles at me.
Jake is the same age as me, twenty-one, but sometimes he acts about sixteen. Especially when it comes to a particular part of his body. After searching through five boxes, I find my costume. Okay, so it’s about 10 years old, but all I want are the wings. My mom made them for me and I was the best dressed fairy that Halloween.
“Okay, I found it you can both piss off now,” I call out, laughing as I do. Alex rushes back inside the tiny closet, squashing me up against the wall. “Back up.” I moan, pushing her out. Holding out my blue wings, I smile. “See told you.”
“Wow, they are so pretty.” Alex runs her fingers along the gauze-like material. Jake just shrugs and hops off the bed.
“So what time are we leaving?” he asks, looking from Alex to me.
“You’re not invited,” Alex quips, smoothing her hair over her ear. She and Jake get into a back and forth about him going.

Interview
Please welcome Killian author Elizabeth Kelly to Diane’s
Book Blog.
What is your favorite part of the story, Killian?
My
favorite part of Killian, is when Reagan is beginning to trust him and then
they find the Fairy box in her house, which causes her to question herself and
Killian. I didn’t want this to be a straight forward ‘fall in love’ story.
How long did it take you to write Killian?
Killian
took me about six months to write because I was writing other books at the same
time.
If you were stranded on a desert island which of your
characters do you want by your side?
This is a
hard question, I love all of my characters, but I’d have to pick either Knox or
Killian.
If you could be best friends with one of your characters,
who would it be?
For the
girls probably Emery or Reagan. The guys, Max & Logan (unreleased project).
What inspired you to write your first book?
Honestly,
the news gave me a general idea but my youngest sister pushed me to do it.
What is your favorite book that you wrote?
I really
like all my books (biased) I know but for emotional value I’d chose Taking
Chances (Book 2 in the Blackrock series) and Finding Forever (upcoming
project). It’s hard to pick just one though, it feels like you’re choosing one
child over another.
What's your favorite book-turned movie?
I liked
the City of Bones, I know a lot of people didn’t but I enjoyed the movie as
well as the books.
Who is your favorite author and what is it that really
strikes you about their work?
I have
two favorites, Barbara Erskine, who writes time slip/ghost stories. I love getting
lost in the history of her books and Tami Hoag, she writes mostly police and
forensic books, this because Crime scene investigations is my ‘real’ job.
I don’t
really get writers block, if I feel a story line is going stale or I just can’t
get it right, then I’ll close it down and move onto another story.
Can you share a little of your current work with us?
Unedited
– Treachery Book 2 in the Avalon series
I was excited, when
father announced Avery and I were betroth. He kept me in the dark and would not
give me even the slightest hint of what he was doing. But now, I can’t keep the
smile from my face as I dance around the fire with him.
Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your
readers?
To readers,
I would just like to say thank you for all your support and for reading my
stories.
xoxo
