BLURB:
What price will
destiny demand?
Warding the
Crossing has always been Cayden Sinclair’s destiny. With her beloved Gran
growing weaker, it’s time the little witch took her place. Juggling substantial
curves for her frame and an inconvenient inability to control her power has
always been a serious challenge. But not until discovering her fated Keeper is
the extremely hot, tragically clean-cut insomniac who’s ignored her for months,
does she truly fear failing her legacy.
Now that he’s
finally on the road to the top with an offer from a big developer, Clint
MacAllen can’t allow his struggling construction company to be threatened by a
vicious nightmare, or his inexplicable attraction to a goth clerk working the
graveyard shift at HandiMart—no matter how potent they are.
J. Milton
Developments has its own agenda for Buchanan’s Crossing, and they’ll spill
blood to get it.
EXCERPT:
“That
part of the costume?”
“Excuse
me?” Cayden tried a little throat-clearing of her own. Not because her mouth
had gone dry as the Sahara or she needed the time to get her brain functioning
again. Of course not. But because something had drawn her to meet his eyes for
the first time. Their color made her feel a bit seasick. Past that, something—
“I
mean the story you’re reading, The Fall of the House of Usher. Is the Poe part
of your getup?”
Cayden
was used to being ridiculed about the goth thing, especially by guys like him.
She might have responded with something cool and cutting or simply a haughty
laugh. If only she hadn’t already been reacting to the something in his eyes
that was resonating with the ring in her pocket, she would have had some
precious control. That’s what she told herself later.
Instead,
she blurted out a favorite line from Poe’s poem: “All that we see or seem, is
but a dream within a dream.”
“Wh-What?”
His too-sexy mouth fell open, and those mesmerizing ocean-colored eyes widened
as though she’d touched a nerve.
A
telltale flicker of the overhead lights reminded her to keep her head above
those dangerous waters. The rack next to the cash register started wobbling
dangerously, then spinning wildly, unleashing sprays of breath mints. It was
screeching loud enough to distract him from the sound of boxes rattling on the
shelves all over the store—she hoped.
In
a burst of brilliance—or inspiration, she’d grudgingly admit to Gran when she
had to—Cayden slipped the ring out of her jacket pocket and tossed it into the
fray. It was likely the best chance she’d ever get to verify the suspicion that
glimpse in his eyes had planted, sprouting consequences she was battling to
contain.
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
Rhea
Rhodan resides in Minnetonka, Minnesota and has been telling herself stories
since long before she could write. She attended the University of Minnesota
with a focus on Journalism, then Brown Institute for Broadcast Journalism.
After many adventures, misadventures, and a couple of short marriages, she
found the love of her life in Regensburg, Germany, and has been living happily
ever after since.
She
journaled those adventures extensively (some might say rabidly) beginning in
middle school, but didn't combine her writing and story-telling until several
years ago, when one of the stories grabbed her by the throat and shook her like
a rag doll until she gave in and wrote it. Having tasted freedom, her muse
refuses to return to the confines of her head, and has successfully turned the tables,
keeping her at the keyboard to appease it.
Her
stories always had a twist of magic or a touch of the paranormal. Why the
romance? Because she believes in happy endings, and helping people imagine them
helps them create the magic to find their own.
She
welcomes feedback and fan mail :>). You can join her on Facebook and/or
Goodreads, too. Rhea is always happy to meet new friends.
