Here is a bit about our BotM, West of Want:
Betrayal is all he’s ever known, but in her, he’ll find a love strong enough to be trusted…
When Marcella Raines’ twin brother dies, she honors his request to be buried at sea, never expecting the violent storm that swamps her boat. Recently divorced over her infertility and gravely injured, Ella still fights to survive.
Zephyros Martius is the Supreme God of the West Wind and Spring, but being the strongest Anemoi hasn’t saved him from betrayal and loss—worse, he’s sure his brother Eurus is behind it. When Zeph’s heartbreak whips up a storm that shipwrecks a human, his guilt leads him to save her, but he vows not to get involved.
Ella’s honesty, empathy, and unique calming influence attract Zeph like no other, and he finds himself wanting…everything. Ella knows Zeph’s different and fears rejection, but falls for his otherworldly masculinity and ancient, sad blue eyes. When Eurus threatens Ella, she and Zeph struggle to let go of the past, defend their future, and embrace what they most want—a love that can be trusted.

This is from my Etsy shop, DallaLuna, and is silver plated with beads and crystals to match the book as well as a silver plated compass charm at the bottom and a stainless steel heart at the top that I have stamped with "WEST OF WANT". As you can see this has a key chain and a little clip on it so you can take this beauty on the go with you. : ) Just be a follower of RBtWBC and fill out the Rafflecopter below. Open to US and Canadian residents. Good luck!

What is it like to be the Supreme
ReplyDeleteGod of the West Wind and Spring? I mean is all work and no play, or is it more all fun and games?
Yay! Thanks for kicking off the questions for Zeph, Lisa! :D
ReplyDeleteKeep 'em coming everyone!
What's your favorite hobby,other than whipping up windstorms
ReplyDeletewhen your heartbroken?
Hey Zeph :) -
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if you think your brother Eurus is redeemable and if you have any idea on how to bring him around?
Oh and what are your plans for the 4th of July ;)?
I wish you and Ella a HEA :).
vsloboda(at)gmail(dot)com
I love character interviews! My question is: What fantasy 'getaway' would you plan for you and Ella?
ReplyDeleteMel
I think I remember reading in Owen's book that you are the strongest of the wind gods (btw, I was not happy with you when you caused some angst with his need for winter even if it was inadvertent). Is that true? And why is that?
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading Zeph's story who I have since forgiven for causing Owen a little grief because he still got his HEA. ;D
As the Supreme God of the West Wind and Spring, how do you stay grounded and not let it go to your head?
ReplyDeleteLOL Some awesome questions, guys! Thanks so much! And keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteZeph - Is Eurus really bad or is he helping you find yourself? Once you find yourself, will you be there to help save him? - Family counts.
ReplyDeleteWhat's the most beautiful thing you've seen in all your many eons as a god? Besides Ella. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the hop and giveaway, =) have yet to read the book so i don´t have any questions for him atm, but i´m looking forward to meeting him =D
ReplyDeletebest wishes, Linda xo
I just asked like 5 questions in the last part of the Rafflecopter....I'll try to remember them.
ReplyDeleteZeph, can I call you that? You are the most powerful of all Anemoi, god of the West Wind and Spring. How do you view your power in relation to the other Anemoi?
Do you get along with them?
Is their any one in particular you are closer to?
Are you a loner at heart or do you crave companionship?
What do you need in a woman?
Oh, this is so much fun, you guys!!! Can't wait for this interview! thanks!
brandypm (at) optonline (dot) net
You guys are awesome! Keep those questions coming!
ReplyDeleteMy question for Zeph:
ReplyDeleteZeph, what was your very first impression of Ella when you first met her? And how has that changed (if it has)?
From Amy, posted over at Facebook:

Zeph, now that Ella is a goddess, what kind of training will you provide her with? Can you assist her with learning to POOF, as well?
My question is more personal I wanted to know what his favorite sexual fantasy is :O)
