Book Description:
Emma
Who I am and all I believe is marred with just one glance into angry, steel blue eyes. He seems to control my air, my ability to breathe. He makes me crave everything I know is a sin. Pure becomes tainted and lines are blurred. It's my fault; I'm the one who isn't strong enough. I've been damaged...broken. Breck's words haunt me...'There's a consequence for every choice you make.'
Breck
I've had so many women I can't even remember over half of their names, but none of them are mine; I make damn sure of that. I take what I desire and never look back. I don't need or want anyone, ever...not until I met Emma. Those eyes bore into what's left of my soul and her touch sears me, weakens me. I want to hate her for that. She is my ruin...my sweetest hell.
Disclaimer: Intended for readers 18+ due to strong language, mature scenes, and some violence.

Book Excerpt:
I vaguely hear
Anton making his not so smooth move, but my attention is still
diverted to the enigma standing on the threshold. Carnal
thoughts wage with futile attempts to break the vexing connection
enslaving my failing senses. Heat simmers through my veins
to places low in my belly and my lips part in resentful shock from
the intensity of emotions raging inside of me. His gaze is
full of hate, punishing even, and chills spill down my spine. Need
to know why he affects me this way conquers all my internal alarms
blaring for me to just stay away.
The
redhead follows his gaze and the warning in her eyes is clear.
Disregarding the seething look, I pull away from Anton. Breck’s
lips curve slightly as his eyes gleam dominantly, daring, showing his
intentions to play. Standing my ground, I refuse to break the
silent challenge. I don’t understand the rules, or the game,
but there’s no way in hell I’m going to lose. The music
stops; people push their way through the crowd towards the bar, but
neither of us moves. Anton is calling me. I ignore him.
Flashes of light ignite the room in angry hues as the band begins the
next song. Breck’s date pulls
on his arm, and it’s me who smiles this time.
Several
accosting seconds tick by before he gives me a slight nod, admitting
his defeat, but it’s the toxic mix of admiration and animosity in
his eyes that strips me of air, making my knees weak. With one
last look, he’s gone, but I know whatever this is that he’s
started is far from over. Slowly, the tension gripping me
begins to ease. Dread and desire hit me like a sledgehammer.
I don’t want to play his game. Good or bad, I don’t want to
feel anything for him…not him. Shaking my head, I blame Jess’
drink. Feeling discombobulated and foreign in my own skin, I
breathe a rushed apology to Anton and walk shakily to the bar.
About the Author:
I
am a new author and have recently discovered that I am now addicted
to writing. My first novel, Saving Rain, was originally going to be a
single novel, but it quickly turned into a trilogy. I fell in love
with the characters and had to continue with the story. Saving Rain
is a new adult contemporary romance meant for readers 18 and older.
I live in the
mountains with my family, and I love to read, hike, and travel when I
am not writing. I am a sucker for romance, especially a book with a
strong alpha male who has a sensitive side. I also enjoy a good
mystery and thrillers. My favorite author is James Patterson, he is
an amazing writer.
With being a newbie,
I am just learning all the ropes, but I'm loving the wild ride. I
plan on writing for as long as my fingers have dexterity.
