As
a child, I believed in the fairytales my father told me.
Until
he was gone and with him, that belief.
As
a girl, I believed in the friendship and protection of Aden.
He
made me begin to believe again.
As
a woman, I believed in the possibility of love and passion between
myself and Aden.
Until
he was gone and with him, my belief in magic and happy endings.
When
she was a child, I was tasked with her protection.
As
a girl, I became her friend.
As
a woman, I could no longer see the child I knew and was forced to
fight a growing attraction.
Unable
to lie and unable to tell the truth, I left.
Now
I’ve returned to give the knowledge I couldn’t before, that she
is half Fae.
The
darkness is stalking her and I am desperate to teach her what she
needs to know to protect herself.
And
determined to make her mine.

“Aden,
what’s this?”
“My
mark?” It dawns on me then that I forgot to explain about our mark.
“I can’t believe I forgot.”
I
glance back and see her furrowed brow, as she continues to trace the
stained skin of my neck.
“Fairy
Wings?”
I
laugh at the skepticism in her tone. “Seems cliché, huh?” She
raises a single eyebrow, waiting for me to expound upon my question.
“Where
do you think the folklore came from, babe? Haven’t you wondered why
you haven’t seen anyone here with wings?”
Her
eyebrow descends and a sheepish look crosses her features. She
shrugs, “I guess it crossed my mind once or twice, but I haven’t
really thought about it.” She gives me a lopsided grin, the
embarrassment in her eyes growing. “I guess I thought—um,” She
stop and clears her throat, avoiding eye contact. Then she lets out a
long sigh of acceptance. “I thought maybe I had to earn them.”
I
try. I really, really try to hold back my laughter but it explodes
out in a howl of mirth. Shaylee’s face turns bright red and her
lips turn down into an annoyed pout. I get control of myself, and
caress the side of her face, “You’re so damn cute.”

I'm
a lover of all things books, I've been an obsessive reader since I
learned how to spell! I've been writing novels and short stories
since I was twelve, but they say to write the genre you love the
most, so as an adult, I fell easily into writing romance. My husband
is my biggest supporter and he's a great sport when it comes to
fighting the people in my imagination for my attention. I hope you
enjoy reading my books as much as I enjoy writing them!
