Brazen Broads Book Bash

We are thrilled to welcome back once again to the Brazen Broads Book Bash author Marie Treanor.  Creator of one of our favorite characters in romance, Saloman, Marie is the author of the Awakened By Blood Series books, which include Blood On Silk and her newest book, Blood Sin . Mad, Bad and Dangerous by Marie Treanor. Hello! And many thanks to the Brazen Broads for having me back!
