College
student Jessica craves a stable, ordinary life. But when she meets the alluring
and irresistible Aiden, her life takes a thrilling turn. Jessica knows there’s
something different about Aiden, but she’s shocked when she learns his secret.
The further Jessica delves into Aiden’s world, the more consumed she becomes
with him.
Heir
to the throne of a secret kingdom of supernatural beings, Aiden yearns to
fulfill his destiny. But from their first encounter, Jessica captivates Aiden.
Aiden is certain that Jessica is his only chance at true happiness. But Aiden
can’t deny that his presence in Jessica’s life threatens to destroy the very
things he loves about Jessica—her generosity, compassion and innocence.
As
Jessica finds her life filling with peril she never imagined, she must decide
how much she’s willing to risk for love. And Aiden must choose whether to
embrace his legacy or follow his heart.
Intensely
compelling and powerfully gripping, The Awakening is the
seductive first installment to the Legacy trilogy, an unforgettable, epic love
story.
**EXCERPT**
“So,
we’re friends?” I turned to him as I spoke and read the regret on his face.
“Jessica,
I’m sorry about last night.”
I
felt my eyes warming up and willed myself not to cry.
Aiden
reached for my hand. “I like you Jessica. Of course we’re friends, but I’m
also…” He sighed. “We’re different, you and I, and we’re in completely
different places now. It was wrong of me to kiss you.”
We
stopped near the dry creek-bed, still holding hands. I glanced over at Aiden
and realized he was watching me again, that same look on his face. He wanted me
and I knew it, but something was restraining him.
Neither of us spoke for a moment.
“Aiden, the last time we were here, and I made that
joke…” I paused.
“About vampires?”
I nodded, my heart racing in anticipation of pushing him
away after he’d finally opened up to me. “It was only a joke,” I reiterated.
“But I feel like you are hiding something or holding back.” I swallowed
audibly.
He inhaled sharply and stepped closer to the water.
I followed him, but kept a few feet between us. “Aiden, I
like you, and I want to know you better. I won’t judge you. I just want to
know.”
“What do you want to know?” he asked, his voice so quiet
I could barely make out his words.
“Everything. I want to know you, Aiden.” I bit my lip to
keep from shouting at him, from insisting that he knew exactly what it was that I wanted to know, that I was the
one who had no idea what he was hiding.
“What specifically?”
I blew out a
sigh. “Why do you move around so often? Why can’t I go in your house? Why do
you and your brothers all have long hair? Why couldn’t your sister wear a
ponytail?” I held my breath and stepped closer, feeling uncharacteristically
brave. “How did you know to get me out of that fire?”
Aiden turned towards me slowly, his head down. “Jessica,
I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have started anything with you. I just can’t…” He
sighed, then made eye contact. “I can’t answer your questions. And we can’t be
together, so I shouldn’t have kissed you.”
Without thinking, I leaned into him, pressing my lips
into his. He hesitated, but then I felt his mouth respond to mine, his warm
lips opening for me, the tip of his tongue gently tickling my lips.
I broke off the kiss before he could reject me again. “I
know you care about me,” I said firmly, empowered from my boldness.
“I do,” he agreed willingly. “But that’s why I can’t…”
“Bullshit!” I interrupted. “I’m already involved in
whatever it is, so you might as well tell me the truth. What are you hiding?
You can trust me.”
Aiden’s eyes quickly darted around, scanning the woods
behind me. Apparently satisfied we were alone, he turned back to me, locked his
eyes on mine, then tucked his hair behind his ears.
I was so captivated by his stare, with those unnaturally
vibrant eyes, that it took a moment for me to register that he was showing me
something. I blinked, and refocused on all of him, not just his eyes. And then,
I saw it.
