BLURB
As a child, I believed in the
fairytales my father told me.
Until he was gone and with him, that
belief.
As a girl, I believed in the
friendship and protection of Aden.
He made me begin to believe again.
As a woman, I believed in the
possibility of love and passion between myself and Aden.
Until he was gone and with him, my
belief in magic and happy endings.
When she was a child, I was tasked
with her protection.
As a girl, I became her friend.
As a woman, I could no longer see
the child I knew and was forced to fight a growing attraction.
Unable to lie and unable to tell the
truth, I left.
Now I’ve returned to give the
knowledge I couldn’t before, that she is half Fae.
The darkness is stalking her and I
am desperate to teach her what she needs to know to protect herself.
And determined to make her mine.
EXCERPT
"Aden, what’s this?”
“My mark?”
It dawns on me then that I forgot to explain about our mark. “I can’t believe I
forgot.”
I glance
back and see her furrowed brow, as she continues to trace the stained skin of
my neck.
“Fairy
Wings?”
I laugh at
the skepticism in her tone. “Seems cliché, huh?” She raises a single eyebrow,
waiting for me to expound upon my question.
“Where do
you think the folklore came from, babe? Haven’t you wondered why you haven’t
seen anyone here with wings?”
Her eyebrow
descends and a sheepish look crosses her features. She shrugs, “I guess it
crossed my mind once or twice, but I haven’t really thought about it.” She
gives me a lopsided grin, the embarrassment in her eyes growing. “I guess I
thought—um,” She stop and clears her throat, avoiding eye contact. Then she
lets out a long sigh of acceptance. “I thought maybe I had to earn them.”
I try. I really, really try to hold
back my laughter but it explodes out in a howl of mirth. Shaylee’s face turns
bright red and her lips turn down into an annoyed pout. I get control of
myself, and caress the side of her face, “You’re so damn cute.”
Author Info
I'm
a lover of all things books, I've been an obsessive reader since I learned how
to spell! I've been writing novels and short stories since I was twelve, but
they say to write the genre you love the most, so as an adult, I fell easily
into writing romance. My husband is my biggest supporter and he's a great sport
when it comes to fighting the people in my imagination for my attention. I hope
you enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoy writing them!
