Product Description

She’s used to doing all the rescuing. But love has a way of changing everything.

Hailey Jensen is in the rescue business–animal rescue–and more than willing to risk life and limb for fowl or fauna. Just when life couldn’t get better, her world crumbles. Her identical twin has cancer, and her marine rescue is failing before it even gets started. Lacking coping skills, she takes refuge behind sarcasm and solitude.

But, thanks to Dr. Rainer Hartmann, her sister’s friend and a man who mistakes overbearing control for helping, she finds herself on the opposite end of the control stick. A wildly independent woman, Hailey fights with the determination of a bulldog as Rainer struggles to drag her out of despair…and into his arms.

(Length: Full length novel)

SAMPLE
Within minutes, the room grew stifling. She nudged Rainer in the shoulder. “Take this will ya?” She handed him her glass.

“Had enough?”

“Nope. Just hot. Need to get outta this sweatshirt. She tugged the heavy garment over her head. The world tipped, and she lost her balance, bumping into Rainer. A smirk on his face made her bristle. “What?”

“Nothing.”

“That’s some strong ass wine,” she explained.

“That’s some strong language.”

“I’m not in grade school anymore, ya know.”

His gaze heated. “Believe me. I know that.”

She drew back, realizing she had been leaning against him. “Can I have my glass now?”

“No. I think you’ve had enough.”

“Who are you? My damn mother?”

“No. I’m your friend.”

“Oh, God, not that. I know all about you and your friends.”

“You know all about it, eh?” he asked with a laugh. He was enjoying this conversation way too much.

“What the hell is so funny?”

“Nothing.”

“You’re laughing.”

“Okay, okay.” He threw up his arms in surrender. “I’m laughing. You’re funny, you little spitfire.”

“You’re not. You big…you…” She couldn’t think of a word that summed him up. He was the epitome of contradictions. Gorgeous, a pain in the ass, funny, a pain in the ass, smart, sexy…her body heated even more as her gaze settled on his mouth, surrounded by a day’s worth of stubble. Yup, she was feeling alive, all right. Alive and hot.

He moved closer, and her heart shuddered.

“I’m what?” he asked.

“Nothing.”

He shook his head. “If two glasses of wine can’t even loosen you up, what will?”

“What are you talking about? I’m as loose as a goose.” She lobbed her head, rolled it from side to side, then shrugged her shoulders up and down several times. “See? I couldn’t get any looser.”

“That’s not what I meant.”

“What’d you mean, then?”

“I thought you might be more honest with a couple glasses of wine warming your belly. More honest with yourself and with me.”

“I am. Hell, I was just noticing how sexy your mouth is.” She smiled. Had she just said that? “See? Honest.”

“Hmmm. Honest, all right. My mouth? Sexy?”

“Hell, yes. Hasn’t anyone ever told you that before?”

“Nope.”

“Damn shame.”

“What else are you thinking?” He asked, his smoldering gaze making her temperature spike.

“He’s watching me with wide eyes; I know he felt it too…. The vampire fills me with warmth but the Wek makes my soul flutter.”

(Book 2 of the Parched novel series)
Zillael hates high school and the tiny one horse town she lives in. She has no friends and no social life, both by choice. All of that changes the afternoon the fog rolls in and she soon finds herself face to face with three parched vampires.

But Zill also has a secret ability and as she uses it to fight blow by blow with the vampires, she’s shocked when Derek Firth, the most popular boy in school, who she was quite rude to earlier in the day, jumps in to help her take them out.

Zill slowly comes to realize that her world is not what it seems. Derek isn’t just the nice, likable guy that all the girls crush on and all the teachers praise; he’s a Wek. And, the fourth vampire that got away, well, he’s bonded to her in the craziest way.

Zill soon finds herself falling for the Wek and the vampire at the same time. She’s also learning that she’s not super strong with kick butt abilities for nothing. She has a purpose in life, and on the day the fog rolls back into town, she finds herself on the verge of discovering what that is.

A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR ABOUT WRITING THIS BOOK

I decided to make the second book in the Parched novel series short to deal with the limitations of writing in the first person point of view (or POV). See, Parched book one is told in Clarity’s POV but as the saga continues to unfold, other sisters will be introduced.

So, I knew it was time to introduce Zillael but at the same time, she has this entire backstory. She’s in love with two supernatural creatures, who are part of the main plot. How their love triangle comes to be is the focus of book two. However, I wanted to show how different Zillael is from Clarity, Fawn and Adore as well, and how that adds substance to the main conflict as the series continues to move forward.

Sturdy Design Ideal for Young Photographers

Engineered with children’s small hands in mind, the Kidizoom Spin & Smile Digital Camera comes with easy-to-grip, rounded sides and large, intuitive buttons. Kidizoom’s sturdy design helps withstand rough handling by young photographers. While not indestructible, this camera stood up to repeated drops on a cement floor during testing.

Kidizoom comes with a twisting lens that flips effortlessly into position as well as a timer, taking the guesswork out of self-portraits and group shots. A zoom wheel activates the 4X digital zoom, while dual viewfinders and a full-color screen make it easy for children to compose pictures.

The camera screen’s compact size does make it challenging to predict the photo quality before viewing on a television or computer monitor. Do not expect this 2.0 megapixel camera to take sharp photos of squirmy subjects in low-light conditions.

Zany Special Effects Unleash Creativity

Kidizoom allows your child to add silly hairstyles, wacky distortion, and colorful frames to photos. These can be easily viewed on a computer or television. Parents will need to spend a little time helping younger children find and use the editing features to allow them to fully unleash their creativity. Your child can also record movies with funny cartoon animations and scene-setting frames. A video recorder lets kids record and then distort voices, adding echo effects or robot intonations.

Along with the editing options, five preloaded games–including a photo puzzle, detective game, and germ-fighting adventure–will provide hours of educational entertainment for your child.

Built-In Memory Stores Hundreds of Photos

With 256 megabytes of internal memory, there’s room for hundreds of photos or more than 10 minutes of video. The camera also supports up to 2 gigabytes of additional space by adding an SD card (sold separately).
