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.
