Blurb:
Who knew a truck stop post card would send Alexis Davis’s
life spiraling into a supernatural destiny predicted lifetimes before.
Gods, Magic, Fated Love; it was nothing that the shy, quiet
Alexis ever could have imagined existed.
Alexis had no desire to take over the family business or
follow in her mother’s footsteps, so armed with her life savings and a fresh tattoo she takes off
to the quaint little fishing port of Reedsport, Oregon; where she meets two men that awaken
something frightening within her very soul.
Dominant and dark Sebastian Gates and the sleek and sexy
Jonathan Evans pull her into a life where the lines between her past, present and
future
become one.
When they both begin to take part in the dreams that she has
drawn comfort from, Alexis learns that none of them are really what they seem. But they are not
the only ones; she quickly finds others that play an intricate part in what has come to pass and
what is coming. If that wasn’t enough the tattoo that she had placed across her chest has taken
on a life of its own. Leaving her in pain beyond anything she has ever experienced before.
Through her dreams and the men that cannot help but complicate her life further, Alexis learns
that she has a target on her head that has carried over from one life to the next.
A dark coven of witches known as the Elektita believe she is
the one that will restore their powers taken by the Gods long ago. A prophecy set in motion by
her very own family line. There is one problem; her destiny has put a wrench in the Elektita’s
plans, somehow intertwining within a curse that leaves everyone around her at the mercy of the
moon.
Who can Alexis trust? The two men that have despised each
other for centuries or the powerful Elektita that wants nothing more than to wield the power of
the Gods?
Excerpt:
"Stop!" I screamed into the dark room. Instantly
the whirr of the ceiling fan seized along with the humming of the mini fridge. My breath caught in
my throat at the sudden silence of the world around me. Even the noises outside my window
seemed to fade into nothingness. Fear slammed down on all the craziness inside my head; fear
of it all.
"That's it!" The air seemed to bow in resistance
with my sudden outburst. It had stopped, too, heeding my command. I jerked the bottle off the
table, slicing through the world’s resistance and headed for the door. The movements were
forced, opposing the motionlessness that occupied the surrounding space. The hallway felt like
a blessing; the air flowed as it should and I could hear the garbled sounds of televisions in other
occupied rooms. Whatever was going on only affected my room. Linda wasn't at the front desk
and I was more than thrilled that I didn't have to explain my growing insanity. I just needed to
escape. I walked towards the water, the waves beckoning me out with them. The noises of the
night seemed to be unaffected by whatever it was that had happened. I threw my head back in
invitation, silently willing the dark serenity to consume me. As I reached the shore the water
reflected a thousand night lights, giving life to the emotions that had resumed their battle inside
of me. I perched myself on a large rock, letting its strength and solidity anchor me down.
The water's salty tears splattered against my skin, giving life to the tears that flowed from
me. I cried with her, sharing my tears, letting them ride the waves together. I drank and raged
with the night. Wind whipped around me, cocooning me in its embrace; protecting me from my
growing madness. I could almost hear the soft bay of the wolves along the waves which drove a
burst of laughter through my tears. I sounded hollow and unlike myself. I chucked the bottle
which only had a few swallows left into the cold expanse, listening to the glass shatter through
the ocean song.
I felt completely lost, consumed in the night. I
couldn't find the thoughts that would give me an answer to what was happening to me. I
watched as the ocean’s anger took its course all around me. Something about this night had her
up in arms as well. At this moment I was in the company of a kindred soul. I sat still, letting her
fight out her anger. I let the ocean have its turn to cry. Finally the waves began to glide and
sway, ceasing its angry dance. The winds brushed against my cool skin, wiping away the
remainder of my tears. We were both exhausted and spent; our emotional turmoil sated.
Weariness left my body and mind heavy as I worked to make it back to the Inn before it gave
out completely. The front desk remained empty and unwelcoming as I passed. I couldn't fight
the exhaustion–not even to strip away my grief soaked clothes, letting sleep take
over.
Bio:
I am Christine Alvarez, mother of four spectacular hoodlums
and married to the man of my dreams. We all currently reside in my home state of Missouri.
When I am not writing I spend my spare time as a chauffeur, maid, cook, and everything in
between.
I am addicted to Dr. Pepper and chocolate. They are my
vices and lend a large hand in getting the creative juices flowing. I write anything from
paranormal romance to erotica. I am a sucker for romance whether it is the kind with a happily
ever after or burned and broken end. You will find my work covers those gray areas in between
as well.
