TEASER

“Hey,” Raine said.

I wanted to ignore her again and even tried to leave, but her boyfriend blocked my path. I glared at him. Sighing, I turned and faced Raine. There was no point showing her how much she’d hurt me, and her whipped puppy look was getting tired. She’d never been good at hiding her emotions.

“Hi,” I said. “I like your hair.”

She blinked as though surprised. “Thanks. I know what you’ll say about this. I use a curling iron.”

I wasn’t ready to be that chummy with her. If she wanted to ruin her hair, I didn’t care.

“Uh, this is Torin St. James,” she said when she realized I wasn’t going to say anything else. “Torin, Cora Jemison, my best friend.”

Yeah, right. Some best friend.

Torin smiled and nodded, but he continued to watch me as though he expected me to, I don’t know, say something mean to Raine. What would he do?

I gave him a challenging glance and said, “I saw your pictures online.”

“It’s ridiculous how he always ends up on some girl’s page,” Raine said. “Alone. Shirtless.”

“Actually, the ones I saw were of the two of you,” I corrected.

“Oh.” She glanced at him and elbowed him when he grinned. She leaned against him and focused on me. “Uh, it’s nice to have you back, Cora.”

I shrugged. “It’s weird.”

She exchanged a look with Torin and frowned. “What do you mean?”

“It’s like I never left.” I waited for her to say something about my psych ward stay, or give me a clue about what she knew. I wasn’t sure what she’d told my mother a week ago or what Mom had told her. I hadn’t cared enough to ask.

An awkward silence followed.

“We stopped by your place on Friday after school,” Raine said. “I don’t know if your father told you.”

In time, it will develop into something much greater than either could have ever imagined. The pair have each had their share of tragedy and heartbreak that time has yet to heal.

Just thinking of you touching me drives me wild, imagining the feel of your lips on my body is almost too much!

Believe my lovely lady when I say the first night we spend together will be the best of both of our lives! I cannot wait hold you in my arms, and caress every part of you. Loving you is what I was made for. So my sweet valentine…what do you say, will you be mine…can I be yours.

DINNER WITH THE PARENTS

Heat crawled up my face. Sometimes he had a one track mind.

“I meant about tonight. Are you okay with it? We can postpone it for a few more months.”

He nodded and my stomach dropped. He was going to back out.

“We can,” he said slowly, “but I don’t want to. I want tonight to be perfect, so I need to do a little shopping.”

“For what? Please don’t mention a suit or dinner jacket.”

“Why not? First impression is everything.”

“I want you to be you, Echo. I want you to be comfortable. So no suit.”

He grinned. “How about you approve what I wear? Will that make you happy?”

“Yes.” The second bell went off. “Okay, I better go.”

“Kiss goodbye?”

“No. It will escalate into—”

Once again, he cut me off with his lips and I let him. How could I not? The taste of him was addictive. When he eased off, he asked, “Want a ride to class?”

I nodded, my lips tingling, his scent still filling my lungs. One fraction of a second and I was in my seat. A few nearby students glanced at me and frowned. They were probably wondering if I’d been there the entire time. Echo winked and was gone.

Hours later, I pulled up outside our farm house and glanced up at my bedroom window. At times, he’d be waiting and wave. Or he’d appeared in my car on my way home, so we rode home together and caught up on what happened at school.

Could he still be out shopping?

I thought I saw Mom by the apple trees, but on close inspection, I realized it was a soul. Word had spread fast about my work and they kept me busy, but Echo had laid down the rules, so the souls knew not to come into my house or visit me at my school. I went to them when I was ready. There was also no hostile possession. The criminals tended to be aggressive, but they knew what awaited them if they dared possess me when Echo wasn’t around.

“Something smells good?” I called out when I entered the house. Our house always smelled of freshly baked pies. Today that scent was mixed with other spices. Dad wasn’t at his usual workstation and Mom wasn’t in the kitchen. “Mom?”

No response.

I wondered if they were making out. Usually, I’d be at swim until five-thirty, but swim season ended in February. I turned on the oven light and grinned at the casserole dish cooking. Smelled like lasagna or one of Mom’s famous potato dishes.

Wondering where they were, I opened the fridge and found a bowl of washed strawberries. We grew our own, which were juicier and sweeter, but Mom must have decided to buy Californian ones from the store, which meant tonight’s dessert was probably strawberry pie or cheesecake. I took half of the strawberries in a bowl and a bowl of home-made whipped cream and started to munch.

“Hey, sweetheart?” Dad called out.

I glanced over my shoulder and grinned. He was coming down the stairs, his clothes disheveled, which meant he’d just woken up. Dad was a writer and kept odd hours.

“Hi, Daddy.”

When he reached my side, he snagged a strawberry. “How was school?”

I shrugged. “The usual. I can’t wait for summer.”

BLURB

One lost love.
One lost best friend.
One hot soul reaper.

Straight out of the psyche ward, Cora just wants her life to be normal. She doesn’t want to see souls or the reapers collecting them. The love of her life, the guy she’s loved from a distance for years, has moved away without saying goodbye. So yes, she’s nursing a serious heartbreak. It’s no wonder love is the last thing on her mind when Echo storms into her life.

The chemistry between them is mind-blowing. The connection defies logic. It doesn’t help that Echo is the poster boy for everything she hates in a guy—hot, beautiful, and cocky. A general pain-in-the-butt. Being around him makes her feel more alive than she’s ever felt before. But more important, the souls leave her alone when he is around.

Echo is perfect for her. Echo might even be her soul-mate. There is only one problem. Echo is a freaking soul reaper. A Grimnir. The very beings she wants out of her life. Maybe normal is overrated because Cora wants it all. Answers. Love. A life. You see, once you fall for a Grimnir, your life will never be the same again.

Teaser Tuesday | Grimnirs #RunesSeries

Title:  Grimnirs

Series:  Runes Series [Book 2.5]

Length: 286 Pages

Genre:  YA Paranormal

TEASER

“We missed you last week, Ms. Jemison,” Mr. Pepperidge, my English teacher, said, handing me a paper. “Good job on that essay. See me after class.”

I glanced down at the paper. A+. The paper was typed, had my name at the top, and was submitted two weeks ago. More proof I’d been in two places at the same time. Maybe taking psych meds had been good for me because I hadn’t received an A in English since I started high school.

The class was finishing Scarlet Letter, so I was lost and bored. I waited for the students to leave the room then approached the teacher. My heart pounding, I was sure he was going to say I was a fraud. He handed me a copy of the book.

“Read it and choose two characters or events in the story and demonstrate how Hawthorne describes them from different points of view and how this affects your impression of them. It’s nothing big, just a short essay.”

“Thanks, Mr. P.” I put the book on top of my folder.

He smiled. “I think you should seriously consider taking AP English literature and composition next year. Your writing has improved tremendously in the last month.”

“Okay, I will,” I fibbed and hurried out of the classroom.

Every class after that was the same. I’d become an exemplary student. A genius. Even math, my most hated subject. I had aced every quiz, test, and homework assignment. The handwriting on handwritten tests was mine down to the way I wrote uppercase L so it looked like the English pound sign minus the short horizontal line.

Either Echo had been right all along and I never really left until last week, or my astral projection had attended classes while I was trapped behind PMI walls. I was going with the latter because there was no way that annoying reaper could have been my lover.

After what Kicker had told me, I was feeling a little charitable toward Raine, but I wasn’t ready to be pals yet. Twice, between classes, I saw her, and each time she smiled. I ignored her, or tried to. It wasn’t easy. We’d been friends since junior high and had shared so much.

I was putting my books away before heading to lunch when she and her boyfriend cornered me. He was more striking in person than in the pictures online and had amazing blue eyes, yet something in them reminded me of Echo. Maybe it was the alertness or the edginess pulsing from him.
