BLURB:
Hope
Richards has only ever known the life of a big city girl. When her boss gives
her an ultimatum, she decided to try out the country life during her forced
vacation. After falling in love with a mysterious old mansion on the edge of a
town that time forgot, Hope finds herself caught up in a whirlwind of someone
else's crazy love obsession, and realizes in the middle of it all how lacking
her own life is in that department. Hope is faced with a decision: return to
the mundane life she thought was her passion, or find a way to experience
something far stronger that she secretly yearns for.
EXCERPT:
“Oh,
no he did not!” Abigail yelled, throwing her hair over her right
shoulder to dramatize her anger. Hope was momentarily blinded by visions of
Luci Tristan, the stuck up prom queen from her high school days. She had to
fight to hold in a giggle.
“Relax,
hun. He’s obviously got some pent up anger he needs to release. Let him use you
as his verbal target for now. It’s better than him using your face as his
punching bag.” Abigail stared at Hope in absolute shock.
“I
cannot believe you just suggested that my Garrett has the ability to hit me.”
Hope raised both brows at her younger friend, a bit shocked herself.
“And
I cannot believe you’re backing him after he called you a bitch.” The two
stared at each other, stuck in a battle of estrogen. Finally, they
simultaneously burst into laughter, the air quickly clearing of all bitter
anger.
“You’re
right. I shouldn’t be so harsh on him. I just don’t understand what his problem
is. He was perfectly fine until…” Hope nodded knowingly when Abigail refused to
finish her thought.
“Until
I came along. I know what you mean, and I don’t understand it either. He acts
like he wants to be my friend, and when I tell him it’s not an option, he
throws a kiddie tantrum.”
“You
told him that?” Abigail’s voice was full of true shock and admiration. “Why
would you tell him that?”
“Because
your friendship is what matters to me. I have no interest in getting to know
him.” Hope inwardly kicked herself for lying through her teeth. No matter how
many times she told herself the same thing, she knew she was lying. The
magnetic pull that Garrett sustained was addictive. Each time he was around, it
grew harder to resist, and each time he was away, the hollow ache in Hope’s
chest grew. She would be absolutely insane if she didn’t recognize how she
truly felt. Not that it mattered in the least. She could never allow herself to
get close to Garrett.
“You
are a true friend, Hope.” Abigail, gave Hope a light hug, beaming with
gratitude.
“It’s
nothing. He’s just a stupid little boy. I’m eight years older than both of you.
I’d feel like I was robbing the cradle!” Hope forced herself to laugh alongside
her friend, but her stomach was in knots. For once, her head and her heart were
on the same page. For once, Hope wanted to shoot both to make them stop working
at all.
AUTHOR BIO:
Somewhere amidst her forty-hour
job and playtime with her three-year-old, Rachel finds time to walk the streets
of worlds only existing on manmade paper. She resides in small college town
Northwestern Nebraska with her young son, just a few blocks from a city park,
the public schools, and her parents. She enjoys socializing with adults,
sipping strawberry wine, and head banging to music that doesn't carry a beat
worth the effort of rock star hair slinging.
"The paranormal world is a much more desired realm. There's no limit to possibilities, no comparison to probabilities, no concept of actualities. There's no solid platform for racism, judgment, or hierarchy. It is exactly the manifestation you choose it to be, darkness and death included."
