BLURB:
On the run from evil, her only hope is the Shadows.
Devyn James escaped hell once. A rare technopath, she eventually broke out of the genetics testing facility with the help of the Shadow Elites—General Conver’s super soldiers, who rebelled and now fought to protect psychically enhanced humans.
For the past few months Devyn, or Indy as she’s known on the street, has covertly passed intel to the SEO. Even though the street doesn’t trust the Shadows, she does. They rescued her once and she knows they’re the only ones who will be able to save her from Conver and figure out what she uncovered.
Dagan is determined to save the female being chased by Conver and his squadron. He soon discovers her identity and vows he’ll do anything to keep her protected—even if it’s from herself.
Together they discover everything is possible when you trust A Shadow’s Embrace.
The Birth
of Devyn “Indy” St. James
When
the idea for the Indigo Shadows series came about, I knew I needed a kickass,
take names later sort of heroine who didn’t mind meddling where she had no
business being. The hero’s group, the Shadow Elite Operatives (or SEO), are
high-level psychics who covertly help other psychics remain safe from secret
government groups determined to harm them. Needless to say, this means Dagan
and the other SEO guys aren’t meant for the meek.
The
first thing I needed to discover about Devyn was her background. I knew she
needed to be a strong psychic, yet I wanted her to possess an ability not
really understood or realized. Her backstory unfolded easily from there.
General Conver and his testing minions never considered technopathy (or the
ability to manipulate anything electronic) to be an ability. As such, when she
was “tested” she was deemed a level three—a much lower-level run-of-the mill
psychic capable of parlor trick style abilities. As such, she was contained within
the lower-level testing facility—one of the ones the SEO sprung people from the
moment they gained their freedom.
But
freedom meant too much to Devyn for her to sit back and let someone else
protect her. She wasn’t about to sit back and watch the psychic children on the
streets starve and fight to survive. Realizing the SEO had their hands full
fighting Conver, she took it upon herself to found the Indigo Order, an
underground organization which helps feed, clothe, educate and care for the
psychic street kids within Chicago. They’re hardened, untrusting youths who run
in packs and don’t trust outsiders. But “Indy” (as she’s known) is one of them
and when trouble hits the fan in A Shadow’s Embrace, the kids are quick to
insist on helping her—even if it means working with the Shadow Elites they
can’t quite believe are real.
I
hope you enjoy Devyn as much as I did when you read A Shadow’s Embrace.
EXCERPT:
Dagan smirked as he took a couple of steps back and reached
for a plastic bag. He handed it to her. “Convenience food of the gods. Eat.
Rest. Then we’ll talk.”
She peeked into the bag. Sour cream potato chips. Diet Coke.
Packaged tuna sandwich. Fried cherry pie.
Her gaze narrowed. “Exactly how did you know what I like?”
“I have my ways.”
Tossing the bag on the bed behind her, she shoved him back.
Or tried to. He chuckled.
“You read my mind while I was passed out?” That was…that
was…Arg. She couldn’t even think about how screwed up that was.
“Like I said, you and I need to work on your perceptions of
me.”
“Oh, gee, why would I think you’re a disreputable pain in
the ass who’s one step above one of Conver’s minions? Could it be because you
manipulated my mind? No? Well, maybe it has to do with the fact you dragged me
out into the middle of nowhere, away from my team, and then read my mind to find
out I prefer cherry pies over apple.”
He grabbed her wrist before the slap she attempted made
contact. “Diaz suggested it, seemed to think it’d put me on your good side.”
Oh. Well.
“As for the other stuff, you know why I took control of you
earlier today. Were we to switch places, you would’ve done the same
thing."
He returned to the hovering position inches away. His other
hand grasped the back of her neck and dragged her forward until their lips
almost met. “Ease off the pissed just a little, babe, because I’m hanging on by
a thread. I’m having a real hard time remembering you aren’t mine to protect.
The more you argue, the hotter I get to prove exactly why I have the right to
handle you.”
