Just One Sip (9 page)

My eyes widened, and my heart fluttered kind of funny in my chest.

“Here,” he grabbed my left hand and shoved the ring into my fist, “it’s yours now.”

My cheeks burned so bad. “Okay.”

We stared at each other.

Jet slammed his hands down into his pockets and tilted his head to the door. “Race you downstairs? It’s probably time to open presents. You can help me if you want?”

“Okay,” I hollered and then took off at a fast sprint, making sure to hang on tight to his gift. It was special to me. A boy had never given me anything before. And I kind of liked this boy. He was quiet and nice. “I bet you can’t catch me!”

He raced after me. “Oh, I’ll catch you, Lucy! I’ll catch you.”

The Lion Security series fires off with Obsidian Liquor, where resolve is tested and passion ignites...

Elizabeth Forter is a preacher's daughter.

Daniil Kozar is the head of the Russian mafia.

Elizabeth is on a personal mission to destroy, and Key West is her destination - where a brutal competition is being held. Daniil is not a man to be trifled with, and the bitty she-devil's antics don't escape his notice . At the realization that she's caught, Elizabeth's curiosity rapidly turn to fear, but she can't outrun a man who kills for a living.

Stuck in a situation of her own making, a deal is made with the mafia king.

Liquor and unwanted attraction never make for wise companions. The outcome is...dangerous.

Elizabeth was not prepared for Daniil. Each second of the day, her every action is watched. Elizabeth must decide how to handle the gun-toting criminal, and his seductive charm. Daniil may be the devil her father warned about...or the balance Elizabeth has been searching for.

Somewhere, Elizabeth's dad is screaming a prayer...

A savagely wicked new adult sci-fi serial blasts off with Fall, the first installment in The Cold Mark Saga...

Only one thousand Humans survived The Travel from the shattered Earth. Some Humans say it was their penance for crushing such beauty. Eighteen-year-old Braita merely thought it was pathetic - pathetic that her people had been that blind.

Now, the Humans live in the solar system, Kline, where three planets are habitable. Joyal, the smallest planet, is embraced by the Humans - their family to love as they had never loved Earth. Though a planet covered mainly in water is dangerous real estate to dwell upon.

Their worry turns into devastating reality when Braita's blessed village is struck by a tsunami. Population numbers must be kept to a minimum. Drastic measures must be taken. Braita's life is twisted in brutality when she is chosen as one of the three hundred Humans to be removed from Joyal...and sent to the Mian, the aliens to fear, on the planet Triaz.

Thrown head first into a barbaric world she knows nothing of, Braita must adapt to a dark life as a slave of the Mian society. Her existence depends on it...and possibly, the fall of her heart.
