WICKED Synopsis:
Things are about to get Wicked in New
Orleans.
Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college
student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling
the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life.
After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the
hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart
apart.
Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her
rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and
swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a
stream of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural
ability to make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is
as dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing
the boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking
tension that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down,
she wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has
shaped for her.
But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the
only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them.
There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no
longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to
take over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.
Excerpt:
He left me
standing there as he disappeared into the bathroom, and I tried to make sense
of what just happened. All I knew was that the punch-in-the-chest sadness that
came whenever I thought of Shaun wasn’t there. And I didn’t know what to make
of that.
Or
anything.
Taking a deep
breath, I put my clothes on his dresser and all but dashed into the bed, and
good Lord, the mattress was comfy! I scooted to the middle and froze, having no
idea what side he slept on or if he had a side. I totally had a side—always the
furthest away from closet doors because I was a dork. Straightening the shirt
out so my undies weren’t saying hi to the world, I tugged the blanket up to my
hips and lay flat on my back.
I so needed an
adult to explain to me what the hell I was supposed to do from this point
on.
There wasn’t much
time to stress over it because Ren returned from the bathroom. His ever-present
half grin spread as he saw me. I clutched the blanket, my breath caught in my
throat. My heart pounded so fast that I wondered if I was going to have a heart
attack, and God, wouldn’t that be embarrassing. I swallowed nervously and
willed my heart to slow.
Turning off the
lamp, shadows fell around Ren, but when he faced me, I could tell that he’d
frozen. I couldn’t make out his expression as he bent, taking a hold of the
covers on his side.
“Ivy?”
“Hmm?”
He slowly edged
the covers back from his side and climbed in, and although I couldn’t make out
his eyes, I knew he was watching me. “I’m happy that you’re here.”
My fingers eased
off the blanket.
As he stretched
out beside me, my eyes adjusted to the lack of light, and I could see that he
was smiling. “Are you?”
“Yeah,” I
whispered.
“Good. That’s all
I wanted to hear.”
Wow, the warmth
that flooded my chest could’ve turned me into a puddle of goo in that bed. I
waited for him to make a move on me, but seconds ticked by. He seriously was
behaving himself. I dared a quick peek at him, and found I could not look
away.
Ren lifted his
arm closest to me, and a heartbeat passed. I hesitated for a moment, and then,
my heart pounding even more, I slid over until my leg brushed his. He curved
his arm around my waist and drew me up against his side, guiding me down until
I was nestled against his warm, bare chest. Another moment passed and then I
lowered my cheek, and the simple pleasure of lying like this nearly broke me
right open.
