How Far would you go to protect the people
you love?
Seventeen-year old Emma wants what every
teenage girl wants: good friends, good grades, and a good looking boyfriend who
only has eyes for her. Little does she know that in order to get one, she must
sacrifice the other two.
When Luke, Emma’s apparently devoted
boyfriend, sets in motion a series of events, Emma finds herself in the middle
of an ancient war strategically taking out anyone who gets close to her. Emma
seeks refuge in a small coastal town and is introduced to Solomon, a mysterious
Native American warrior. Unsure of who exactly are the good guys, Emma is
hesitant to trust anyone. But when her feelings for Solomon begin to grow, Emma
has difficulty remembering loving her may come at a high price. Now she must
decide: can she trust Solomon with her heart? And just how far will she go to
protect it?

EXCERPT
I closed my eyes. I couldn’t look at him
and say what I needed to say. I wanted to accept his help, I wanted so badly
not to be alone but I was afraid. “I was told not to trust you. I need more
time but he’ll come. He’ll eliminate you. That’s what he does.”
He leaned toward me, his tone stern. “You
have to live the life you have been given. You did not cause nor deserve what
has happened. Don’t force yourself to shut people out before you give them a
chance. I’m stronger than you think.” His voice hovered over me. “You can trust
me. I’ll never hurt you. And I’m not asking to be your friend. You have no
choice in my involvement. Accept my help or not, I’m here to stay.”
My eyes were drawn to his. The pull toward
him was overwhelming. I was losing my resolve.
“Why are you afraid of me?” His words
turned soft and I wondered if I had heard them at all. “When I come…why are you
afraid?”
“I don’t know who to believe.” I sighed.
“My mind is being told too many things. I don’t know what I am. What you are. I
am afraid for you. I don’t want to be responsible for another life.”
He took my hand and rubbed it against his
cheek. So soft, I thought. No stubble. Flashes of Luke’s rough skin against my
cheek when he’d finally kissed me slithered through my thoughts. My breath
caught. I closed my eyes, trying to regain my own thoughts, to push the hard
kiss from my mind. Luke’s words echoed through me. I was your first kiss.
Solomon leaned forward and touched his lips
to my cheek, lingering briefly before moving away.
BOOK TRAILER
After many years trudging through the
social awkwardness of high school and the whirl wind of college romances I
finally landed in the Seattle area writing about the hell, horror, and don't
forget hot romance of youth.
I love all things outdoors and can be found
hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, or doing anything that will work up a good
sweat. I love to interact with my
readers and meet them at signings.
