turned upside down in her quest to fulfill her eternal destiny?
Friends
become enemies and enemies become deadly as each seek to find the one
thing that will bring true fulfillment.
Excerpts:
Bound
to Remember, Book One
“Hello.”
I held out my hand. “I'm Doctor Toni Hollander, but you can call me
Toni.”
He
stared at me as if he was looking right though me, ignoring my
extended hand. A wave of embarrassment washed over me and I pulled my
hand back. Maybe I imagined that stare thing with him a minute ago.
My thoughts retreated to Kevin. He had only been the last in a long
line of failed relationships and I was starting to wonder if my
terrible taste in men had struck again.
"Where
are my manners? I am Benjamin, but you may call me Ben" He
pulled my hand into his, with a toothy grin.
Unbound,
Book Two
Hades
closed the space between us. “I will return soon, my sweet.” He
took my hand, kissing my fingertips, before releasing it. Then the
three gods and Dawn disappeared.
Ben
and I stood alone in the hallway as I moved closer to him. The lust
from our kiss still lingered thick between us.
“Ben
. . . I—”
“Shhh.”
His finger touched my lips, stopping my rambling. “We have only a
short time, and I need to plead my case to you; so let me show,
rather than tell you why it should be me you pick for eternity.”
Bound
to You, Book Three
“I’ve
missed you already. I don’t know how I survived without you for so
long.” His warm lips kissed the top of my hand. If my cheeks could
blush, they’d be the darkest shade of red.
I
had to clear my throat and shake my head from the swoon-worthy trance
Hades had me in. “I’d like to have my place back, but Ben
compelled my landlord to get me out of my lease.”
His
lips trailed to my finger, then fingertips, creating sensations
throughout my body. “My Antonia, I want nothing more than to
fulfill every desire in your heart. It’s such a beautiful heart. I
know that you love me, and that you will make your decision when you
are ready. I can wait. I’ve waited so long for you, and I’d
continue to wait an eternity to be with you.”
Imaginary
butterflies fluttered in my stomach and I felt my heart slipping into
his hands. I knew his words were true; he would wait.
Bound
by Fate, Short
“I
have something for you.” It was the same line she sang every time.
Her voice was the perfect pitch to allure any human and I felt my
body being pulled toward her. I wouldn’t even greet her anymore
when she came; I tried to block her out.
“Benjamin,
I have something for you.” I didn’t want to go, but I didn’t
want to miss the opportunity to possibly see Toni. She’d promised
me that I could see her one day—to see if she was truly happy; so I
gave in each time and went to Aphrodite. I always waited here for her
to arrive, for she had me at her beck and call.
Abound
Christmas, Short
Snow
was falling and I heard her charming giggle. The sound enchanted me.
I looked down and I was holding her mittened hand in mine.
“I
love you, Benjamin,” she said. I looked carefully, trying to make
out her face, but caught only her profile bundled under a furry hood
and scarf. I glanced around, noting that we were in a carriage riding
through Central Park, passing snow-covered trees.
Witch
Bound, Book Four
My
melancholy thoughts broke as I heard my name being called—I wasn’t
paying attention to details anymore. I hadn’t left the building in
the last 24 hours and I was exhausted. The sounds of the hospital
continually echoed in the fog of my thoughts. I played Doctor
Stevens’ words in my head on repeat, but the memory of Hermes’
first touch in Hades’ temple still sent chills down my back. My
daddy taught me better than to fiddle between boys. “Always pick
the man, Dawn,” he would say. Thinking of my daddy reminded me that
I needed to call him. I could only avoid his calls for so long.
Rebound,
Book Five
“Does
beauty run in your family as well?” A nervous chuckle escaped me.
What a cheesy pickup line.
“You’re
nervous, aren’t you?” she asked, batting her eyelashes and making
sweat swell on my forehead.
“Yes.”
I nodded. Why was I being so honest? I cleared my throat. “I’m
Ben, by the way.” I extended my hand.
She
looked at me then my hand before gently wrapping hers in mine.
“And
I am Thalia.” The warmth of her hand made everyone on the train
disappear.
