Blurb:
Ryan Cosgrove and Liliana Delgado are on a collision course with
destiny. They don't know it yet, but before the night is over their lives will
be forever changed.
Spending Valentine's Day at a burlesque bar, hadn't been Liliana's
ideal way of spending a Friday night. She'd much rather be back at campus,
doing homework... until she meets Ryan. Tall, athletic, and gorgeous, Lili
can't keep her eyes off him, and despite his gruff manners and drunken disposition
she's intrigued.
Ryan's got demons, and they're deep, dark, and eating him alive.
Regardless of his attraction to the petite brunette he's tired of fighting, of
pretending the last fifteen years haven't been a daily struggle just to get out
of bed every morning. That night he decides to end his pain, to leave it all
behind and float away into the blessed darkness of oblivion. But fate has other
plans for him, Lily finds and rescues Ryan, determined she'll not only save his
body, but his soul too.
This is their moment...
Excerpt:
The
doors slide open with a loud whoosh. Huffing the bangs out of my eyes I look up
and my heart stills.
In
fact, everything seems to freeze. It’s a strange sensation, sounds grow dim,
and the world recedes to a pinprick of light, a halo that surrounds him. I have
no idea who he is, a perfect stranger in a room full of them, but something
about him stands out and makes me notice.
He
has dark wavy hair and intense blue eyes. He stands squinting in the doorway
and it’s obvious why he’s here. The entire left side of his face is a swollen
mass of discolored skin. He grabs the corner of his jaw and I notice his
knuckles are also split open. Hard eyes scan the waiting room, and for a
second, I glimpse in his face the same emotion I’m feeling right now.
Anywhere
but here…
Then
our eyes meet. He’s older than me, I can tell. There are whiskers on his
cheeks, and he doesn’t look like a boy.
Especially
not like the boy who did this to me.
The
look lasts only a second, but feels more like an eternity-- a stolen moment in
time that exists outside of where we’re at right now. But like so much in my
life, it’s fleeting.
Author Bio:
Marie
Hall has always had a dangerous fascination for creatures that go bump in the
night. And mermaids. And of course fairies. Trolls. Unicorns. Shapeshifters.
Vampires. Scottish brogues. Kilts. Beefy arms. Ummm... Bad boys! Especially the
sexy ones. Which is probably why she married one.
On
top of that she's a confirmed foodie, she nearly went to culinary school and
then figured out she could save a ton of money if she just watched food shows
religiously! She's a self-proclaimed master chef, certified deep sea dolphin
trainer, finder of leprechaun's gold at the end of the rainbow, and rumor has
it she keeps the Troll King locked away in her basement. All of which is
untrue, however, she does have an incredibly active imagination and loves to
share her crazy thoughts with the world!
