Hello all! Would you please welcome Nicole Zoltack to RBTL today.
Nicole has a new book coming out October 21, and it sounds awesome! She's here today to tell us all about it.
Thank you so much for hosting me today, Jessie!
BLACK HELLEBORE is a superhero romance. Nicholas
Adams loved Justina Paige more than anything else in the world. When she died,
he basically ruined his life. Every year, he returned to her grave and place a black
hellebore flower on her grave. A decade later, Justina’s twin, Julianna, finds
him at her sister’s grave.
Now the twins may have looked identical – blond
hair, blue eyes, slender builds, five foot seven – but the similarities ended
there.
Justina was the more adventurous one out of the two,
striving to have fun at all costs. She had a tendency to be reckless and never
followed the rules. She never knew what she wanted to be when she grew up and
thought the world was gray. Or rainbow colored. Justina and Nick constantly got
into trouble, and she loved him.
Julianna was more studious. She always followed the
rules…until Nick shows back up in Falledge. She grew up wanting to be a
reporter and viewed the world in black and white. Justine and Nick were her
best friends. Now, she’s trying to get Nick and the straight and narrow. And
trying not to fall for someone she’ll always consider her sister’s.
Nicholas never thought he’d be able to move on past
Justina’s death. And he definitely didn’t intend to start thinking of Julianna
as more than a friend. He’s stuck and doesn’t know what to do.
Are you more like Julianna or Justina?

they're unicorns, of course!) and going to the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire,

Once a year for the past decade, Nicholas Adams returns to
Falledge and leaves a black hellebore on his girlfriend's grave. While
departing Falledge, he chases after a man sneaking into the laboratory and dies
for his trouble. A witch brings him back to life, but Nicholas soon realizes
he's not the same man. Turns out, magic combined with a black hellebore in his
pocket changed him into a kind of a super man.
His girlfriend's twin, Julianna Paige, is Falledge's deputy,
struggling to solve several murders. Nicholas, and his alter ego the Black
Hellebore, helps her, even as she helps him move on and even start to love again.
Unfortunately, Nicholas wasn't the only
one changed in the laboratory explosion, and now there's a supervillain bent on
destroying Falledge, and killing the Black Hellebore. But falling in love might
prove more dangerous than any supervillain.

Aislinn of Bairbhe dreams of becoming a lady knight to honor the death of her fallen brother. To her mother's horror, King Patrick grants Aislinn's wish and she begins her long years of training.
Despite the mockery of the other pages, and the disdain of Prince Caelan who also trains to be a knight, Aislinn commits herself to her dreams and embarks on a journey of self-discovery and bravery. Through the years, Aislinn and Caelan grow from sparring classmates to good friends. They both know that someday Caelan will marry for the sake of the kingdom, but even that cannot keep them from falling in love.
The threat of war with the Speicans is a constant threat, and one that grows more frightening as she and Caelan train toward their eventual knighthood. Aislinn has committed herself to serving Arnhem, and has promised herself as King's Champion when Caelan claims the throne. She is willing to give up everything... her childhood, her life, even her heart for Arnhem. No matter the pain it brings.

the Speican lord, is dead, and Arnhem is safe, or so the Arnhemians believe.
Sir Geoffrey and his companions have just completed a mission for Queen Aislinn when he receives word of the Speicans attacking Arnhem.

Even as he fights for his kingdom and his life, Geoffrey finds himself torn between his new friend Jenanna and the mysterious lady Celestia he left behind in Arnhem.
Enlisting help is infinitely more difficult than they anticipated and to make matters worse, rumors abound that the Speicans have enlisted a mage to work unspeakable, forbidden magic. The war between Speica and Arnhem has just begun. Will Geoffrey survive the battle to live another day and discover which woman he truly loves?
