Blurb/Synopsis:
"Well, fate was cruel, wasn't it?"
Cael and Addison’s fate has taken an
unexpected turn.
Gerry, Addie and Cael almost captured
Careen’s murderer only to lose Cael in the battle—a battle that nearly cost him
his life. But despite his survival, he faces a new challenge, thanks to Gerry's
handiwork: will Cael remember Addie or is their love lost with him?
Addie’s family and friends think she should
keep the relationship a secret from Cael so he isn't forced into feelings he
can't remember. Just what she needs, more secrets and on top of everything
else, someone stole the crystal. How is she supposed to get over the loss of
her lover, a lover she'd barely had for only a few short months and deal with
the secret of the lost crystal at the same time?
Aiden wants nothing more than to help Addie
overcome her grief and get over Cael. Or is that all he wants? What happens
when too many people know the secret and someone slips up?

Excerpt:
He took slow cautious steps across the lush green carpet of grass blanketing the yard on the way to the archway. He didn’t want to startle her. Addison sat crying, crouched down on her legs, her head in her hands, the hood on her sweatshirt bunched up at the nape of her neck. He placed the bag with the food on the ground and sank down in front of her. Something in his gut told him he needed to comfort her. Taking her wrists in his hands, he pulled her to him. She looked up at him and he was surprised when she practically threw her arms around his neck as if she’d done it a million times before and buried her face in his chest. He held her close, a comfortable fit, he mused, as he let her cry against him, wishing he could take away her pain. He had to find that crystal. He didn’t think he could stand to see her this miserable for very long.
She tilted her head up, studying his eyes and
he found himself mesmerized with hers. Her cheeks glistened with tears and she
ran her tongue over her lips just a short inch away from his own. He closed his
eyes because he couldn’t stop the thought of how her lips would feel if pressed
against his, or how sweet her mouth would be if he could only taste it. All of
a sudden, her lips were on his, hungry, urging, and damned if he didn’t kiss
her back. He knew it was wrong, kissing someone else’s woman, but still, he
found his lips parting to accept her tongue, tasting it. He groaned at the sensation
and felt himself harden as she moaned before slowly pulling away, keeping her
arms around his neck as her lips grazed his throat. “Take me inside,” she cooed
into his ear with heavy sounds of breathlessness and excitement. He wanted her
more than he’d ever wanted another woman in his entire life, but she belonged
to someone else. “Please, take me inside and make love to me.”
An uncontrollable growl emanated from deep
within his throat. She had no idea how much he wanted her, the magnitude of the
prospect surprising even himself. He could barely utter his next words. “Ahhh,
baby, you have no idea how badly I’d love to do that.”
“Then do it.”
Pulling back slightly, he studied her eyes,
searching for a sign she might not be in her right mind, and tried to figure
out if she was serious. He wanted her, there was no doubt about that and she
certainly acted like she wanted him.

Author
Information:
Susan Griscom daydreams often. And sometimes
her daydreams interfere with her daydreams not to mention real life. Because,
let’s face it, her character’s lives are so much more exciting. Sometimes it’s
young adult or new adult or just plain old mainstream fiction. Sometimes it’s
paranormal romance, where her playing field delves into a different milieu than
the usual vampires and werewolves. Some day she might write about fangs and
fur, but for now she prefers sticking to strong heroes and heroines confronted
with extraordinary forces of nature, powers and abilities beyond the norm,
mixed with some steamy romance to get the blood boiling.
Susan lives in the Sierra Foothills in
Northern California with her very romantic husband, her small yippy dog, Riley,
and her humongous black cat, Saké. Her family consists of his and hers; four
wonderful sons and one beautiful daughter, and seven grand angels.
Susan loves when a story takes hold and pulls
her into the fantasy, that's magic.
