GOLD
MANOR GHOST HOUSE
By

BLURB:
Anna
thought life was going to be awesome.
She was right…and wrong.
Won
her dream job acting in a hit TV series.
Check.
Working
with her best friend. Check.
The
set’s haunted and she’s in the middle of a supernatural war. Uh, check?
Anna
Rose Ellington is sixteen and living in Hollywood, hoping to be a star. Anna
just landed a major role on Ghost House, TeenTV’s new fall drama. A show promising to be so hot, Meg Sweet (the
reigning teenage diva), signed on for the lead, and Adam Lewis (international
rock sensation) is a principal player.
Her
dreams are falling into place until she gets on set and begins questioning her
sanity. It’s true she has an unusual
dream life, where once in a while her dreams literally come true. But it’s been a while. On top of her dreams not staying put in her
brain, including the guy she’d been dreaming of for years, the house they’re
filming in, Gold Manor, might actually be haunted. But that’s the least of her worries.
Excerpt #3
from Gold Manor Ghost House by Merry Brown
“Keep
your hands off her,” Corey yelled as he pulled his fist back for another
hit. A second before Corey’s hand made
contact with his face, Adam’s eyes opened and quick as lightning he grabbed his
fist. Forcing it up and throwing Corey
off balance, Adam jumped to his feet.
“I’m
going to kill you, Lewis,” Corey growled.
I
cleared my mind of everything but one thought, please don’t hurt him, please don’t hurt him. Adam instantly moved
from retaliation mode to defense only.
Out of nowhere, Dom was standing in front of Adam, hands on Corey,
trying to push him back and calm him down.
I
was by his side, coaching him, reminding him, “Breathe, Corey. In and out.
In and out.”
“No,”
he spit back and lunged at me.
I
barely escaped the blow to my jaw, but my thigh was not so lucky. Going down with a scream, I wasn’t on the
grass long before Corey was beside me, knocked out cold with Adam standing over
him.
It
didn’t seem possible for Adam to take Corey in a fight. Corey was bigger, had more muscles, built
like a line-backer to Adam’s thinner frame.
But no one could deny the evidence of Corey out by Adam’s fist.
My
leg ached from the punch. I’d have an
ugly bruise for weeks.
“You
okay?” Adam asked with an indifferent voice, but I wasn’t fooled. I saw the hatred burning behind his eyes.
