Book Description:
SHE WON’T GIVE UP
Kylie Worthington
is in love with a man who doesn’t return the sentiment. She’s thrown away her
pride and all attempts at pretense, yet Quinn St. Germaine still pushes her
away. With the arrival of her trial, she will go where Fate dictates, to fight
the vicious group, the Amara, and the demon that they serve. She’s also
destined to fall in love, so at least she’ll finally find the man she was meant
for. Whether she likes it or not.
HE WON’T GIVE IN
Quinn has spent his
life preparing for his family’s prophecy, but no spell or book could have ever
prepared him for Kylie. Her passion for him is strong—and persistent—but he
must deny what she makes him feel. Too many years have passed him by and too
many sacrifices have been made. Though he’s drawn to her beauty and vitality,
deep inside he fears her. Quinn already knows what he wants, and accepting her
means giving up on himself.
THEY BOTH WILL HURT
United in their
battle against evil, Quinn and Kylie can’t see what’s right in front of them.
And they never suspected what destiny had in store. Only the worst can bring
them together, but will they be forever bound by love? Or by loss?
Excerpt:
Balancing as she
took cautious steps, Kylie noted the rough waves crashing against the coast.
Had a storm come through? Was one on the way?
Quinn was
waiting when she got ready to disembark. He held out his hand. “Come on. It’s
rough tonight.”
You have no idea. He was especially handsome in
the dark. All lean muscles and quiet strength. No moon in his eyes tonight,
though. Only angry clouds.
She couldn’t
take his hand. Couldn’t stand the heat that always struck deep to her core,
making her feel safe and aroused all at once. She was already too amped up.
“Just take my
hand, Kylie.” He’d read her hesitation for what it was, and the reminder of
their strained relationship spurred his annoyance.
Reaching for
him, she clamped her fingers around his, but as soon as their skin met, he
jerked away from her. “Ow! Damn it!” His look was scathing. “I told you not to
use your magic on me.”
With the wind
kicking up and blowing hair in her face, Kylie chose to jump to the dock before
she fell between hard wood and crushing boat. She landed cleanly. “I didn’t.”
“You shocked the
hell out of me by accident?” His brows were scrunched together, his mouth
tight.
“I—” She broke
off when a searing yellow streak leapt from her hand toward Quinn. Tucking her
palm against her stomach, she shook her head. “I didn’t. I promise.”
Another bolt
materialized from the air above, striking between her feet and splintering into
tiny white cracks of energy that shimmered into the planks. More roiling clouds
barreled in from the east.
Lightning didn’t
frighten Kylie. Though deadly to most, the strikes caused no pain. No injury.
Not to her.
Electricity was
her life force. Her special gift.
But she’d never
been the center of an uncontrollable, miniature storm.
Magic sparked
from her body now, moving toward the water, the wooden pier, and the beach
beyond. It flew into the sky and from the clouds, shooting in both directions.
The essence of her power was communing with the thunderheads.
No, the
blistering flashes of pure energy didn’t have her quaking where she stood. Her
trembling hands and heaving breaths were a response to something far more
dangerous to her well-being.
Another crack
split through her poorly-constructed foundation when her gaze clashed with
Quinn’s. His eyes filled with recognition, understanding. He knew what the
phenomenon meant.
She had to say
it before he could cut her down with whatever words were forming in his head.
“Quinn.” She held out her hands, harnessing the bolts, channeling them into her
as they struck again and again. “My trial is starting.”
He nodded
tightly. And gulped.
She couldn’t
stay here any longer. “I’m going to the house.” Her little tempest was fading,
now that she’d opened herself up and accepted her fate. Her calling. Her
prophesied challenge.
But considerable
damage had been done, and not by the power that pounded from the sky. She
couldn’t stay with Quinn, because the expression on his face was a dagger to
the heart.
Her trial had
arrived, and it was her turn to face the Amara. To succeed in her own unique
quest. And as destiny decreed— to fall in love.
Quinn knew the
prophecy better than anyone. He knew its pattern. That’s why Kylie had to run.
Why she couldn’t bear to see his reaction.
Because there
was no doubt that her time had arrived.
And he was terrified.
