Temperance is Book 4 in the Defiance series–it’s one of the SE Jakes writing as Stephanie Tyler titles.  It’s Declan and Rebel’s story that began in Book 3, so it’s an m/m romance with a small m/f subplot. If you’re just reading this book as a standalone, I’ve actually rewritten the ending of book 3 from Rebel and Declan’s point of view for both new readers and as a recap for the regular readers. And yes, the series will continue.  Basically, I introduce this series as Sons of Anarchy meets the Apocalypse.  And it’s New Adult.  And I love Declan and Rebel.

It will be up at all the usual places–Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Smashwords, iTunes, etc.  I’m self-publishing this one, so even though I put it up twenty-four hours in advance, I have no control as to when it actual gets published, so I’ll update as the links become available.  Thanks again for all your support this year.  I haven’t forgotten about Prophet and Cillian (How could I?  I mean, really?)  I’m just trying to get to a place where I can do them justice.  The books that are coming out now, as I’ve discussed before, were already in the works, so that makes it easier.  I promise I will do my very best to make the books you’re waiting for worth the wait.  Thanks for sticking by me 🙂

If you want to check out the first three books in the series, they’re here, along with blurbs and buy links.

TEMPERANCE: Book Four in The Defiance Series  

The reluctant truce between the Defiance MC and Keller’s mafia is necessitated by shared hatred for the Lords of Vengeance—bloodthirsty thugs who pose a deadly threat to both Defiance’s survival and Keller’s people in the difficult post-apocalyptic world. For Rebel, this means more than just a secondary war—Declan, one of Keller’s main assassins, has moved to the Defiance compound.

The problem is, he and Declan have a history, one that Rebel broke off months earlier when the relationship threatened to become more than just covert sex. Rebel’s charged with keeping Declan close, and the proximity makes it impossible for him to deny his feelings. Rebel’s been hiding his sexual preferences from his MC, among other secrets he hold close.

But Rebel realizes that the LoV isn’t the biggest enemy Defiance faces when Declan goes after a mysterious group called the Nomads. Most think the Nomads are little more than a myth, but Declan—and Keller—know the truth. And when one of Declan’s jobs threatens to put Defiance—and Rebel—in direct danger, Declan also reveals secrets that Rebel isn’t prepared for. One that makes him question everything he once thought about the relationship…and forces him to make a choice between his heart and his head…something no one in Defiance is ready for.
