Love. Conflict. Adventure. Banewolf continues the
romance, betrayal, and heartbreaking secrets between Kali, a girl who largely
lacks understanding of the powerful creature contained within her, and Rhane,
the mysterious and passionate man from her forgotten past.
Banewolf is the second installment of the
Amazon Bestselling Dark Siren series. The first book is currently free for
download on Amazon.
Rhane
The stranger shifted, leaning over until his
mouth was within a millimeter of her left ear. He spoke softly, his lips
brushing against some serious nerve endings, “Is this seat taken?”
With a nervous shiver, she blinked long and
slow, savoring the low and sexy quality of his voice. Then she edged away to
put at least an inch between his lips and her ear. If he touched her like that
again, Kali was very likely to embarrass herself. Just as she was about to answer
his question, the room brightened with light from the illuminated screen. What
Kali saw made her jaw drop.
If an eighty-year-old grandmother had been
sitting next to her when this guy had shown up, Kali would have politely asked
the old lady to move so the stranger could sit down. He was absurdly good
looking. Silver lighting accented every perfect line and angle of his face.
Several locks from his thick mass of hair fell idly across his forehead,
slightly curling at the ends. There was softness to his features that suggested
he could be a keeper.
The stranger returned Kali’s stare with an
intensity that took in every part of her. But his eyes never left her face.
Realizing she had been staring at him
stupidly for far too long, Kali struggled to find something to say. “I’m…” She
cleared her throat. “It’s yours.”
He finally looked away. Whatever tied her to
him was loosed, and Kali pulled her gaze away. They didn’t speak again for a
long time, but Kali was constantly aware of him. She kept stealing furtive
glances in his direction because the sight of him was more enthralling than
anything the movie had to offer. Growing bolder, Kali watched him from the
corner of her eye at increasingly longer intervals. Apparently, the stranger
was not as bothered as she was. Relaxed in his seat, he sat observing the
screen with languid interest, doing a pretty good job convincing her that he’d
forgotten anyone was beside him. Kali was so immersed with watching him, and
was completely startled when he spoke.
“It’s not polite to stare,” he murmured
softly without taking his eyes from the screen.
Kali jerked and turned away. But she wasn’t
fast enough and was mortified to see the beginning of a satisfied smile appear
on his face. She slid down into the chair, grateful for the darkness that
concealed a blush spreading across her cheeks. From then on she tried to
concentrate on the movie. But it was useless. She gave up and watched the
screen absently, all the while thinking about the guy sitting next to her and
how he probably thought she was an absolute dork. She didn’t get it. Boys never
had this affect on her. For the past two years, it had always been them falling
helplessly at her feet.
A mutated mix of human and creature launched
itself from a quiet scene, growling and snarling into the camera. Several
audience members jumped in surprise, and Kali was one of them. She made a noise
that sounded like a strangled bird.
“Do these things frighten you?” the stranger
asked. He was clearly enjoying her discomfort.
Kali cleared her throat. “Why would they?
This stuff isn’t real.” This time, she didn’t look at him.
After a long moment, he spoke again. “Right,”
he slowly agreed.
Eden currently resides in a small town in
sunny South Carolina where thunderstorms inspire her best ideas. When not
daydreaming about her next novel, she can be found curled up with a musty old
paperback and a cup of coffee...or mired deeply in her next plot to take over
the world. Since Eden enjoys reading or watching anything with supernatural
elements, writing paranormal and fantasy romance is a natural fit.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to win, I appreciate it.
