The
Redemption Duet Book 1
by
Sheritta Bitikofer
Genre:
Sweet Paranormal Romance
Belle
lives her life from day to day, nearly crippled by her social
anxiety. But if you ask anyone in Levi about it, they'd say she's a
sweet, quiet girl who works hard to keep up her family's small ranch
while holding down a job at the bookstore. No one knows that beneath
her smiles lay a shy introvert who wants nothing more than to stay at
home. It was easier to stay alone, stay isolated. That's when she was
the happiest. But during one thunderstorm, all of that changed and
she met the first man she ever actually wanted to spend time
with.
Leo
made a habit of avoiding people when at all possible. Getting tied
down, making friends, having a life only meant suffering. The
darkness that followed him since his adolescent years never left, not
really. It'd show up and ruin any hint of happiness that came his
way. Running from his past and the brother that cursed him with this
demon, Leo never expected to find something like home in the little
country town of Levi. And he didn't expect one storm to bring him to
the barn of a girl with fire in her eyes and a face as beautiful as a
sunrise. A sunrise that could chase away all the shadows.

The
Redemption Duet Book 2
Belle
Clearwater’s prayers had been answered, but there was still so much
left to discover. Now determined to reject her mental illness, she’s
decided to be brave and not let her anxiety disorder take her away
from what matters. With the help of her friends and her faith, she’s
sure that she can finally have her life back. Something greater is
stirring in her heart and the man that had served as her solid ground
might just send her world off kilter again. All it takes is one
moment of honesty.
Against
every bit of common sense, Leo Thompsons has chosen to stay in Levi.
The Darkness and his murderous brother are closing in, but he
believed that as long as he has Belle, he can find a way to break the
curse upon his soul. With the power of love and prayer, he’s
finally fighting for his life and the chance to share that life with
the beautiful farm girl. Fate brought them together, but is he strong
enough to rebel against the forces of evil that have hounded him for
so long? Can he, once and for all, defeat his demons?

GUEST POST
Q: What did you enjoy most about writing this book?
A: I enjoyed writing the Redemption
Duet (The Rose and The Lion) because it taught me a lot about myself.
Belle represents Anxiety and Leo represents Depression. Both, I
believe, I’ve felt on at least a rudimentary level. There’s so
much misconception about them and from a lot of my other posts, you
should probably be able to guess that I try to clear up those
misconceptions. Writing this duet forced me to look at myself, look
at the mental illnesses, and all the ways that people can pull
themselves out. While I hope it’s therapeutic for some to read it,
it was cathartic for me to write it.
Q: What are you passionate about these
days?
A: History and writing. If you took a
look at all the book orders that have been coming in over the last
few months, you’d wonder if I was trying to start my own Civil War
reference library. Of course, I’m getting my collection prepped for
when I’m ready to start the historical fiction series, too. And the
other half are books about how to write. Creative writing is an
ongoing learning experience. You’re never really “done”
learning. There’s always other authors to learn from and stories to
write. It’s like being a doctor who practices medicine. They’re
still “practicing” even up to the point when they retire. Same
for writers. Never stop learning.
