BLURB:
Meet
Hailey - possessed by an otherworldly being who was trapped in her Kindle.
Hailey Parrish was quick-witted, irreverent, and hadn’t had a date in three years. She only wanted an eBook reader because her collection of paperbacks threatened to take over her small living space. Little did she know that the "special offers" that prompted the purchase included much more than a reduced price in exchange for a few ads. The device came pre-loaded with the essence of Sebastian Kess, an erudite womanizer with magical abilities from a parallel dimension. When she inadvertently releases him and he inhabits her body, she finally has a man inside her, just not in the way she imagined. And soon her predicament introduces her to yet another supernatural, the handsome could-be-the-man-of-her-dreams Alex Sunderland. Can Alex and Hailey find a way to return Sebastian to his own body, stay one step ahead of the criminals who want to keep him where he is, and not lose their sense of humor?

humor.
EXCERPT:
Another marqizobaz delivered us directly to the
palace, which was, well, palatial. Set
on a grassy hill, the immense structure loomed over the city. Which wasn’t saying much, as the rest of the
terrain was flat as a pancake. The front was five-stories tall and symmetrical
with a slightly protruding columned section at the center that served as the
main entryway. On either side, each
floor had at least 15 identical bays of tall, multi-paned windows. At the corners were squared, tower-like
structures, each with a short, walled edge at the top patrolled by royal guards.
Our
guards whisked us into a huge marble-floored, multi-story foyer. Only when the hulking, carved entry doors
were closed did they break their protective formation, fanning out behind us
with precision.
Sebastian
leaned in close. “They are terrible
conversationalists, but you have to admire their style,” he observed.
“True,”
Tannis agreed, nodding. “I, for one,
have always loved the leather boots.
Nothing like a man in uniform,” she added in a dreamy voice, as if
recalling some long-past, but pleasant memory.
Sebastian
gasped in mock horror. “What’s this? I
thought fraternizing with the help was expressly forbidden.”
Tannis
grinned suggestively but stayed silent.
Alex
glared at his sister. “No wonder Mother
insisted you have only female guards once you reached puberty.”
Her
smile widened. “The women look just as hot in the boots, you know.”
A pained
expression flashed across Alex’s face. “TMI, Tannis, TMI.”
“Actually,”
Sebastian volunteered, “I was thinking the more detail the better.”
