Teaser:
For a moment, I felt like I was
on a plane taking off. My ears plugged
up, then began popping while my breaths were low and quick as if the oxygen
supply was diminishing. I felt
light-headed, but not like I was going to pass out. It was as if my senses were paralyzing me,
trapping me in my own skin. All I could
do was sit there and continue to watch my father’s lips move but unable to hear
his words. My thoughts echoed the word,
“…werewolf.”

Excerpt:
I sat up and
pulled my knees in close to my chest.
Electricity flared in the air as Luke inhaled.
“You know,
Logan, you’re not who I expected you to be,” he said, taking a long
thought-filled pause. “I thought the
next twelve months were going to be hell living with a California socialite,
but you’re pretty amazing. I guess I owe
you an apology.”
“So, it’s a good
thing that I’m nothing like you expected?” I asked.
“It’s a really,
really good thing.”
As I started to
smile back he craned his neck to look away from me. His eyes focused. Something black flashed across the road but I
was more scared by Luke’s reaction. The
warmth had vanished from Luke in a heartbeat.
The object stopped moving toward us when it got to an opening between
the trees. Even though I could feel
Luke’s concern, I leaned forward toward the window, curious. It was a wolf – a really big wolf, staring
directly at us with bright green eyes.
It was close enough I could see quick breaths escape into the crisp
rain-drenched air. I was startled when
the engine roared to life. Luke threw
the car into reverse, and I nearly slammed into the dash as the sound of gravel
scattered everywhere. He quickly
jockeyed around and pulled back onto the road heading home. I kept my eyes on the wolf until he was no
longer in sight.
“Was that a
wolf?” I asked. Everything happened so
quickly, I had to be sure.
“Yes,” he spit.
“I’ve never seen
a wolf before – that thing was huge.”
Luke immediately
turned to look at me with an expression that I couldn’t begin to read.
“What’s going
on?” I pressed, puzzled.
When he looked
toward the road and didn’t answer, I knew my question needed to be more
specific to get results.
“Why are you
freaking out? It was just a wolf.” I was worried. He had gone from warm and comforting to moody
and distant over such a small thing and I second-guessed how quickly I had
fallen for him.
“Because I need
to get you home, it’s getting late,” he muttered, failing to control his tone.
“That doesn’t
make any sense, Luke. I have no curfew
and you flaked as soon as you saw the wolf.”
“Wolves are dangerous.”
“We were in the
car,” I countered.
“Doesn’t
matter.”
About
the Violet Hour Series:
This wasn’t the way Logan thought
she’d spend her senior year. Wyoming was
nothing like her Hollywood home, and starting a new school filled with unknown
faces would make it much worse.
It sucked.
And then she met Luke.
He was different. Reserved and quiet, but confident. Recklessly handsome, but dangerous. He stood out.
He was also a werewolf.
The more she learned about him, the
more she found herself in danger. Luke
could only do so much to protect her as the truth of her past comes to light
and threatens everything she thought she knew.
The Violet Hour Series is a story
of painful loss, forbidden love and finding one’s way against the odds. When destiny makes its demands only the
strongest will fight back.
