Demi Redding has used her powers to vanquish demons
for years, but when one shows up next door she will be forced to set both her
experience and instincts aside to battle a war that has nothing to do with
magic, and everything to do with matters of the heart.
As a Keeper of the Innocents, Demi’s load as a
guardian reduces with only one charge to take on at a time. However, when her
new foe proves to be a force she can neither see nor find, she has no choice
but to doubt the so-called good intentions of the stranger one door down.
Rhyzel Connor is not your average neighbor by any
means. The red specks of color in his green eyes alone sets him apart and his
demonic heritage makes him an easy target. Because of who he is he can’t afford
a mistake that will result in his demise, but the fact that he knows way too
much about Demi quickly raises the suspicion veil over him.
There is a mission he must complete, and secrets he
must fight hard to keep, but the biggest hardship he must face will be
forfeiting his life in order to save Demi’s.

Excerpt
Everything happened so fast I couldn’t even react.
Stunned, I just stood there for a moment trying to size up my attacker. Before
I even glanced up to look at his face I could tell something was off with him,
but because of my nervousness, it was hard to tell for sure. He’d come out of
nowhere, and if he intended to kill me, I was easy prey.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” a deeply
masculine voice growled at me. Fortunately, that same voice helped break me out
of my stupor.
I was prepared to see some form of evil glaring down
at me, but what I found when I glanced up was definitely not what I was
expecting. The handsome stranger staring at me was hot. Not just your average
Joe kind of hot. No. This was like the kind of hot that makes a girl want to
sin in ways she’d never done before.
His pale skin, tousled, bronze colored hair, and
full lips were striking to look at, but his eyes left me completely speechless.
Perfectly round green eyes stared back at me and
though they were gorgeous all on their own, it was the few specks of red in his
irises that I found beautiful and so unusual. I was left with my mouth hanging
open. I’d never seen eyes that color before and no matter how many times my
brain yelled at me to look away, I just couldn’t. I was drawn to him. To his
unique eyes. To the mystery that shrouded him.
“Are you deaf?” the tone of his voice rose a little
more.
“No…no. I-I…was just—” My speech was impaired by his
handsomeness and I felt stupid. It wasn’t like he was the first cute guy I’d
ever seen. As a matter of fact, I’d broken up with my boyfriend two months ago
and he’d been the cutest guy I’d ever seen. Now that this stranger was standing
in front of me, I wasn’t so sure anymore.

2.
Who
is your favorite author?
I have more than one favorite author. I have a few. Among my favorite are
Kathleen Eagle, Georgina Gentry, Madeline Baker, Rosanne Bittner, Jasinda
Wilder, and Jessica Sorensen.
3.
When did
you start writing your very first book?
I’ve been writing since I was very young. I used to take empty notebooks
as use them as makeshift books in which I would write short stories, practice
writing synopsis, and even gave poem writing one or two attempts.
However, my very first book writing journey began back in 2011. I’d just
suffered two devastating losses and I used my writing escapes to help me cope
with the unexpected passing of beloved family members.
4.
Who
or what inspired you to start writing?
It was a combination of things. Like I said, I’d just gone through the
painful process of losing two members of the family and I wasn’t feeling
emotionally connected with myself. Writing became my escape. Every time I sat
on my chair and started focusing on something other than my grief I felt
better. Overtime it helped me cope and little by little I started to enjoy even
more something that I’d done as a child, but had stopped doing because life
constantly got in the way.
Although
I’m busier now than I was then, I try to find time in my busy schedule to sit
down and write even if it’s only for a couple of hours each day.
5.
What
was the hardest thing for you to overcome when trying to publish your first
book?
I think I had the same hurtle to jump over as many other authors out
there. I had to get my book accepted. It wasn’t an easy task and it took at
least twenty tries before a publisher finally gave me a chance but I never game
up.
6.
After
publishing 8 books has the answer to #5 gotten any easier?
Absolutely. I have three different publishers now and although I still
have to do a good job at pitching my work, it’s not as difficult as it was in
the beginning.
7.
What
is your favorite movie?
I know I’m going to probably confuse a lot of my readers the moment I
confess what my favorite movie is because I do venture into the paranormal world
a lot when I write, but, oddly enough, my favorite movie does not fall into
this category.
My favorite movie is 50 First Dates with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore.
I don’t know why, but there’s something about a man working hard to make you
fall in love with him every day that really draws me in.
I’m a hopeless
romantic at heart I guess.
8.
What
is your favorite color?
Blue.
9.
What
is your favorite genre to read?
Paranormal
Romance.
10.
What
do you like to do for fun?
Go out to eat with my family, go shopping, spend time with kids, listen
to music, watch TV, write, or lounge on my favorite seat with a hot cup of
coffee in one hand and a good in the other.
