Blurb:
In an age where humans dominate
the world…
And supernatural creatures exist
in the cover of darkness…
He must find a place among his
rivals or risk losing it all.
Hayden has had his hands tied
coping with life outside of the Institutes. He’s come far despite all the bumps
along the way. He’s allowed himself to believe he could live a normal
life…until a new threat makes its presence known.
In an instant, his entire life is
flipped upside down once more. Those he cares for are not safe with or without
him. There’s no escaping his past. Or permanent solution to his problems. One
way or another he’ll become the target for all those looking to destroy the
hybrid who endangers their way of life and challenges everything they’ve ever
known.
Now he must decide between kill
or be killed, and risk becoming the very monster he’s fought so hard to prove
he’s not. Freedom has come with a price, but is he willing to pay the cost?
Excerpt:
I failed to notice before, caught up in my conversation with
Gabriel. My heart picks up speed as I come to the realization that something is
off. We may have walked straight into the mother of all traps.
“What the hell…?”
“Kristina, run!” Gabriel shoves me back the way we came before
I can make sense of what has made him so paranoid all of a sudden. I stumble, nearly
dropping the flashlight in the process, but regain my bearings and haul ass in
the direction of the SUV as fast as my legs can carry me.
The ground begins to shake almost violently as we start
running, making it very hard to maintain my balance. I struggle to stay
upright, the severity of the situation failing to register as I worry more
about getting to solid earth. But I’m slowed down by the constant sway, and can
feel myself falling behind with each step I take. My heart jumps at the
prospect of being left alone to fend with whatever the hell is out here, but
Gabriel grabs my arm and tows me at a pace I can barely keep up with.
Gabriel legs it, but staggers as the shaking increases in
intensity. I bump into him continuously in my desperate attempt to keep up
since he’s forced to slow down to prevent a catastrophic fall that could quite
possibly be the end of the both of us, but it’s basically a race I’m destined
to lose. He can get away, but that will require him to let go of me.
I certainly hope he doesn’t.

Blurb:
He’s been locked away his entire life.
He dreams of freedom.
The only way he can accomplish his goals is by
breaking free of the chains tying him to a dark past and gloomy existence. But
there’s one catch. He’s not human.
And he’s never set foot outside his jail.
Devoted to saving his peers as well as his own
life, he sets out to find the one person that can help him achieve his
objectives. He knows where she will be and what she will look like, but what he
doesn’t anticipate is the fact he finds himself caring for the girl whose life
he’s put at risk, more and more each day.
He has no name.
He has only known hatred and violence before
her.
However, she will teach him to have faith in
humanity, even if she can’t trust him.
Together they will embark on a journey to
bring down a corrupt system responsible for the loss of many innocent lives.
But when he finds his feelings compromised, can he still move on knowing that
doing so will put an end to the life she once knew? How far is he willing to go
to be free?
Excerpt:
I pull open the
driver’s-side door, only to have it brusquely shut by a rather large, pale
hand. Startled by the suddenness of the man’s appearance, I shift to my left
and come eye to eye with a bulky-looking individual with dark brown eyes, and a
scar that traces a fine line from his upper lip all the way down to his chin.
“Don’t attract attention,
missy.” He sneers at me.
I glance down at the feel
of something hard poking my ribcage and find, much to my horror, that he’s
leveled a gun at my stomach. Most of the weapon is concealed by a khaki trench
coat he wears.
“Keep your pretty little
mouth shut and all will sail smoothly,” he warns, standing rigidly beside me.
He glances briefly over the roof of the truck. “Tiger. Hello there, my dear old
friend. Didn’t take you long to make friends, huh?”
I grow stiff. So these
are the psychos that are after Tiger.
