BLURB supplied by Mary Ting
Did you just see a flash of lightning across the sky on a
clear sunny day? It’s not from Mother Nature. It is most likely from Mason
Grand, swoon-worthy demigod, one of Zeus’s descendants.
Skylar Rome is supposed to be having the best summer ever
before she heads off to college. Little
did she know, her whole life was about to change while visiting her cousin.
Nearly drowning at the beach due to unknown forces, one of the Grand brothers
she’d just met, Mason, saves her life. Cool, collected, mysterious, and
dangerously good-looking, Skylar is drawn to him from the start. Though she
knows he is the type of guy good girls stayed away from, it seems he is always
saving her life, and the attraction was inevitable.
Upon meeting the brothers, strange things begin
to happen. When she accidentally kills one of the brothers, it throws her life
into turmoil, as they search to find the answers. Implausibly, she gets caught
up in a world of the descendants of ancient gods, all who have super powers.
Not only is her discovery difficult to accept, evil beings are after her.
Running out of time and running for her life, she must unravel a mystery. What
do they want from her? Forced into a battle set into motion long before she was
born, will she find the answers, or will she die trying?
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Mary Ting resides in Southern California with her
husband and two children. She enjoys oil painting and making jewelry. Writing
her first novel, Crossroads Saga, happened by chance. It was a way to grieve
the death of her beloved grandmother, and inspired by a dream she once had as a
young girl. When she started reading new adult novels, she fell in love with
the genre. It was the reason she had to write one-Something Great. Why the pen
name, M Clarke? She tours with Magic Johnson Foundation to promote literacy and
her children's chapter book-No Bullies Allowed.
TEASER - EXCERPT
Unexpectedly,
she felt arms cuddling her, carrying her out the door. Immediately, she knew it
was him. Being in Mason’s arms made her speechless, and she didn’t want to move
a muscle. He laid her down on a wooden bench and bent down on his knee.
Skylar
held her eyes closed, but opened them slowly when he brushed the strands of her
hair away from her face. Afterward, surprisingly, when his hand slid down
tenderly to her cheek, she felt a slight tingling sensation around the area
that he touched. Whatever it was that she felt definitely came from him. It was
like something between a mild shock and heat, but it wasn’t painful; in fact,
it felt pleasurable and soothing, and she didn’t understand how he was doing
it.
Peering
up, she caught his eyes as they held hers, through space, through time, through
her soul. Sparks flew and some kind of connection Skylar didn’t understand
erupted through her. Though she didn’t want this feeling, she had no other
choice, for her heart longed to know him even more.
Mason
blinked his eyes, looking frazzled and concerned. “Are you okay?” His tone was
softer than usual.
Anchoring her trembling hands on the
bench, she raised herself up and rested her back against the wall.
