Description:
Hope
only wants to find out if her ability to infuse euphoria or despair
with her touch makes her the devil's spawn, or his exterminator. But
when the woman who raised her is murdered by something not human, she
loses the only family she knew and discovers one she might wish she
hadn’t.
Drawn
back to the home town she vowed never to return to, her ability is
seen as an asset to everyone but Hope, and she doesn't know who to
trust. Her family wants her to help them overcome an enemy oppressing
the human population, while the man of her dreams is courting her for
the Underworld.
Time
is running out, and Hope’s choice may be made for her, as she
discovers she’s a pawn in a bigger game played by a merciless ruler
who doesn't lose.
Tagline:
Hope Doesn’t Know If The Man She Can Touch Is A Dream Come True, Or
A Nightmare Just Beginning.
Excerpt:
I
strained to release my arm from Griffith’s vise-like grip while
scanning the surrounding trees, trying to determine which was less of
a threat, the beast of a man holding me or those who might be waiting
for me in the woods.
“You
will come inside, now.” Griffith spoke slowly and deliberately as
if I were a small child.
I
batted at the hand Griffith placed on my head. “I’m not a puppy,
quit petting me.”
“I
will protect you.” Griffith’s warm breath caressed my ear. “If
for no other reason, to find out what I’m giving up and why she
wants you so badly.”
I
inhaled his masculine scent, like musky earth. It washed over my
face, and the tension in my jaw released. I stopped struggling. “Are
you the devil?” My tongue was thick and heavy so the words came out
slurred.
“Not
even close.” His words soothed and comforted, like having a
weighted blanket cocoon me. Each movement was an effort. It wasn’t
the same as the thing in the woods. This was more like the feeling
after a long massage or bubble bath.
“It’s
not safe.” Griffith wrapped his arms around me, and I rested
against his broad chest.
“It’s
not safe.” I nodded. My muscles relaxed and my eyelids grew heavy.
“It’s
cold. We’re going inside.” Griffith kept his arm supporting me as
he steered me toward the house.
“We’re
going inside.” I parroted and walked up the steps, leaning heavily
on him.
Out
of the corner of my eye, something was cautiously moving at the edge
of the woods. Branches snapped as whatever was observing us crept
closer.
About
the Author:
Growing
up with four siblings had Maureen familiar with escaping into a good
book, or the recesses of her mind. She realized later in life
everyone didn’t have characters telling stories in their heads, or
weren’t envisioning magic and mayhem within the everyday. This, and
long walks in the beautiful state of Pennsylvania spawned a love of
writing.
Since
her desire to become a Solid Gold Dancer was thwarted when the show
was discontinued, Maureen opted to pursue other paths. Attempting to
conquer new endeavors proved fruitful with her first novella, while
other attempts, such as challenging a fear of heights with
parasailing, were unsuccessful.
Therefore
she’s chased other interests, though none-the-less-daring, but
closer to the ground, such as belly-dancing, becoming a
self-proclaimed tequila connoisseur, fulfilling her role as biker
babe to her alpha hubby and surviving motherhood to twins (so far).
Penning
stories boasting laughter, light suspense and something magical in
the hope of sharing her love of finding the extraordinary in the
ordinary world.
