Excerpt:
Tears
brimmed in her eyes as she wrapped her arm around him. He tucked her
close to his body, holding
her.
“You’re making me feel good right now,” she whispered.
“Touching me like this. Don’t you
see?”
When
he said nothing, she leaned up to look at him. “Gaven, you’re the
reason I got away from there.
You talked me into climbing over that wall. I wouldn’t have done it
without you. After we met, I
couldn’t get you out of my head. I wanted to be with you, and I
still do. Thank you. Thank you so much
for helping me out of there, for talking me into it. I’d still be
there if it weren’t for you.”
“Clara,
you’re strong, stronger than you realize.” With a gentle touch,
he caressed her cheek, gazing
into her eyes. “You could’ve done it without me. If—”
“No,
don’t say if. I don’t want to think about that. I just want to be
with you.”
His
brow crinkled, his eyes betraying his amazement. “How can you want
me?”
She
smiled through her sorrow, tears rolling down her cheeks. “How can
I not?” Leaning forward,
she pressed her lips against his, the saltiness of her tears mixing
with the sweet taste of his kiss.
“I love you, Gaven.”
Orion
Cross My Sky
Blurb:
Tammy
Pendleton thinks she’s broken beyond repair. Sheltered by her
parents, a victim of sexual
abuse, she wants to escape but doesn’t know how. Until her cousin
Clara leads her away from the
Pendleton estate, and into Clearwater.
Orion
Bennett is a motor-head who works at Pete’s Service Station. At
nineteen, he is battling depression.
But he’s also suffering with trigeminal neuralgia—the suicide
disease—and he’s desperate
to escape the pain.
When
Tammy wanders into the shop one day, she finds herself strangely
comforted by the scents
and sounds of the garage. Although the pain they suffer is very
different, they discover comfort
and understanding in one another. The companionship they share has
the power to heal.
The
question is, will they let it?

Excerpt:
Once
his buddy was in the car, and they were both comfortable on the
original dark interior—which
was torn and in need of replacement—Orion pushed the key into the
ignition.
“Here
goes nothin’.” He shoved down on the clutch, putting the car into
first gear.
“You
realize this beast ain’t got no power steering, right?”
Orion
tilted his head to the side, making it clear he didn’t care. Then
he turned the key, and the engine
grumbled to life like an old man waking up from a sound sleep. It
reverberated through his body,
sending sparks of pain into his nerves which he forced himself to
ignore. “Shit, listen to this baby
purr!”
Putting
his strength into it, he piloted the car out of the garage. The
sounds of the engine shook him
inside and out. The seat beneath him was trembling with the force of
it.
Zane’s
dad was working in the shop, too preoccupied to notice them at first.
Orion got a glimpse
of Pete Johnson glaring at them, his hands on his hips, as the Trans
Am pulled out onto Main
Street where the crash had happened only a day before.
If
he’d been thinking straight, he would’ve listened to Zane, who
was saying something about the
registration, the dates on the plate.
Behind
the wheel of this car, there was no way he could listen to reason.
He’d been seduced by the
feel of it, by the gears changing as he handled the stick-shift, by
the way the engine grumbled and
roared like a dragon.
Even
in the midst of this pleasure, pain entered his mind—crawling along
the nerves of his face as
if seeking an exit. He ignored it again.
“I
know what we oughta call this baby,” he shouted over the growling
of the beast. “Terror. The fuckin’
Clearwater Terror, that’s what this is!”
And
with that, he hit the gas and shot down Main Street going upwards of
seventy miles per hour,
while Zane shrieked in the seat beside him, and lights flashed in the
rearview mirror.
“Goddamn
it,” he shouted. “Cops!”
He
threw his head back as he pulled over, gripping the steering wheel
hard in order to aim the car
off the road and along the curb. Sheriff Ryder swaggered up to the
driver’s side window, shaking his
head as he pulled out his ticket book.
The
engine stalled, and Orion slammed the palm of his hand against the
steering wheel, something
close to fury coursing through his veins.
