“I was created to die. Death isn’t
what scares me. What I’m afraid of is what they’ll do if I don’t play by their
rules,” James said.
“You don’t have to do everything they want, James.”
The rage in James’ eyes fizzled into misery, but
even as anguish threatened to overtake his soul, hope lingered. His familiar
scent drew me closer. It reminded me of the young man he used to be. He towered
over me, as if he could shelter me from the cruelty of life. It was tempting to
let him, but I knew it would just be another lie. The Ringer made a game out of
life and death. They created the rules and demanded everyone abide by them
orsuffer the consequences. Nevertheless, I couldn’t ignore the truth any
longer. I needed answers.
“Yes, I do. If I want to protect the ones I love…”
James said. He leaned in close enough to steal a kiss. An agonized smile crept
onto his face. “To
protect you.”
A fate worse than death…
All
of Catherine’s dreams ended with her progenitor’s sacrifice and the loss of her
beloved. Surrounded by a scornful family and friendships built upon lies, she’s
never felt more alone. The Ringer denies her plea to be an organ donor yet
monitors her relentlessly. She is unable to live a life free of the hospital’s control.
Her future unravels as disturbing questions arise and hidden lies surface. However, what’s even more troubling than the
Ringer’s dangerous secrets are the torturous punishments
they deliver to
those who defy them.

Excerpt:
Sitting utterly still
in front of the piano, Sebastian's dark eyes hinted at dangerous thoughts. He
clenched his jaw. Every finger slammed down on the keys, creating a dreadful
crashing echo throughout the room. His gaze never left mine as he stood, knocking
over the bench. His chest didn't rise or fall as the rest of the world melted
away until only he and I existed. When he finally breathed, it came out in a
deep sharp exhale.
Desire paralyzed me. He
walked haltingly across the room. His slow, calculated movements warned me that
he was going out of his mind. The deranged look in his eyes stole the air from
my lungs. Blinking wasn't an option. When he got within touching distance, he
ran his hand through his hair.
Finally, he managed to
speak, "If you keep looking at me like that I'll bloody—"
"Lose
control," I finished for him while making my demand clear.
He closed his eyes as
he dragged his fingers through the cowlick over his eyebrow. My impatience
nearly drove me into his arms, but he opened his eyes seconds before I gave in.
Taking the slightest step forward, he smirked, clearly enjoying the sight of me
struggling. He leaned over me, his face close enough to kiss me. Instead he
exhaled ever so slightly while a moan grew in his throat. It hit my neck, trickled
down my chest, and stole my breath. Our bodies never touched. Every muscle
flexed like it was painful for him not to wrap me in his arms.
I dug my fingernails
into my palms as he tucked back a strand of my hair, careful not to touch my
skin. I bit my lip as the warmth radiated off his hand. His mesmerizing blue
eyes never looked as stunning—or consuming—as when he was frantic. Finally he
slid his hand around the base of my neck and held me there. He teased me within
an inch of my sanity. I hadn't even noticed his other hand venturing behind my
back until he tightened his grip around my waist.
His lips barely grazed
mine, but before he indulged in a kiss, he whispered hoarsely. "One day
you'll admit the ironclad notion that I've already accepted."
"What am I in
denial about?" I questioned.
"How much your
soul yearns for mine," he said, and gently bit my lip.
Staring at my hands, I
played the memory over and over. At the time it hadn't seemed like a turning
point in our relationship. But it was. I'd let him see how frantic the mere
sight of him made me, how his music lured me, how his charisma lit a fire in my
soul. How his passion seized my heart. He gave me a taste of a life, of a world
I never dreamed of yet had craved ever since. Thinking about it now I wished I
had allowed myself to simply be with him—without distractions or limitations.
Without a death sentence. Time was precious. I thought I'd understood it then.

Author bio:
I specialize in dark, paranormal romance - think "happy ever after" but with a twisted, dark chocolate center. Real-life romance isn't only filled with hugs, kisses, bunnies, and rainbows. True-love can be more thoroughly described in times of darkness and tribulation. It's in those harsh moments where you see what a person is truly capable of - both the good and bad. Sometimes prince-charming isn't always on time, and the glass slipper is a little snug. However, it doesn't mean Charming is not Mr. Right, and who says every shoe is the perfect fit?***
