First off, isn't he hot? That is Jimmy Thomas who is taking on the role of Erick in this novel. Can't help but adore a man in a kilt. Now for a bit about the book.
Blurb:
A man who protects the balance between worlds.
A woman who is haunted by her past.
A group of demons wanting both their souls.
A twist of fate that binds them both together.
Jena wanted nothing more than a nice quiet vacation in the highlands of Scotland, what she got was much more than her travel brochure ever described. Toss in a man who is more arrogant than any she's met in the past, and demons hell bent on driving her insane, and her vacation is about to turn extremely chaotic.
Finding Erick half dead from a gunshot wound, Jena learns there is more at stake than just her fear of falling in love. If she doesn't hurry Erick might die and the demons of her nightmares will finally win what they've been after.
Their souls.
<waves self> Yes, we have demons in this novel as well. And yes, it is a re-occurring theme for me. Can't help it. :)
Now for a bit of a snippit of this new release. Hope you enjoy.
EXCERPT:
Black,
grey, and crimson filled her mind. Screams and cries for help echoed in her
ears, their voices held more agony than she could stand. Heat moved across her
body. Jena’s eyelids fluttered open. Shadows danced across the area just out of
reach. Where was she?
“Come
to us Jena. You still belong to us.” The monsters from her past crept back to
her present. They reached out to her, begged her to go with them. Her body
ached as she tried to move, her mind hurting with the onslaught of the cries of
pain.
She
shook her head in denial. “Go away. I won’t follow you.” Defiance laced her
words.
“You
cannot avoid us. We will always be here. You are coming to us. It will just
take time.” Their coupled voices rang through her body in a shudder of chills.
"You can't escape us.”
“Never.
I’ll never belong to you. Leave me be.” Jena tried to move but found she
couldn’t. Her mind shouted out that this couldn't be real, that it was just a
nightmare due to her fatigue. She closed her eyes as her heart began to beat
out an erratic palpitation. If she didn't know better she swore it might burst.
Their
voices grew in magnitude, the hiss of their anger stronger with each passing
moment. “Just wait, we are patient. Soon you will have no choice, we will get
you.” Jena could feel their hands reach for her, their long tendril fingers
grasping her nightgown. She thrashed at their advances, her fingers hurting
from the effort. "Nothing can stop the inevitable Jena, you will come to
live in the darkness and pain. You will suffer much at our hands."
She
braced herself against their advances. Her mind was tired from fighting. All
she wanted to do was just fade into the darkness. To let it all just go as it
was destined to. Still, her stubbornness took over her need for peace. “Go
away.” She screamed. Her voice cracked in the dryness of the abyss she was
locked in. Just when she swore she would drown in the thick evil of the beings
that hunted her; warmth spread across her skin.
“Jena…”
His deep baritone voice penetrated her web of fatigue and terror. Her eyelids
drifted back open, a haze of reds and blues filling her vision. Soft water
dripped in the distance, the calm of the wind moving across her body.
“Where
am I? Who’s out there?” She called out. No matter how hard she tried she
couldn’t move her body. Whatever was at work was stronger than she was. The
warmth of a hand caressed her cheek, sending shockwaves through her body. A
blanket of calm covered the area.
“I’m
waiting for you my love.” Her gaze moved from the large hand up the arm to land
on his shadowed face she still could not see. Once more, she could only make
out the steel blue eyes staring back. So full of pain and sorrow she wanted to
nothing more than to take it away. He'd saved her sanity more times than she
could say, yet she still couldn't help him.
“Who
are you?” She asked. His accent was not American and the sound sent her whole
body into an uproar of feelings. She felt she knew him, somehow, on some
distant level.
His
eyes filled with warmth. “I’m your destiny. Save me.” Again sadness filled his
voice. What could hurt such a powerful looking man? Jena found her arms
reaching out for him. She wanted, no needed, to hold him close. She needed to
chase the sadness from his eyes. Still, his words made her heart ache.
