Have you found your Thor? Kai Strand wants to help with
that. Be sure to check out the giveaway below.
International intrigue hits small-town America.
Tragedy has left Cara Cassidy broken and the only thing
keeping her from giving in completely is her guilt. Until Nik Rock.
Nik stirs up feelings in degrees she has never experienced,
and causes her to do things that most assuredly give him the wrong impression –
like kiss him before their first date. Somehow, he breaks down the walls
around her emotions until she has no choice but to forgive herself and feel
again.
But a mysterious, troubled past follows Nik, and Cara may
prove to be his weakest link.
When a royal princess shows up looking for Nik, and an
international gang arrives looking for missing jewels, Cara lands in mortal
danger. Will she be able to save herself? What will happen to her newly
repaired psyche if she loses Nik?
Romance, mystery, and high stakes – just another day in high
school.
Excerpt:
He nodded a polite, though cautious, greeting before
walking toward the second break in the shrubs overlooking the beginning of the
rapids.
Her heart pounding as fast as the sparrows flitting
though the leafless shrubs, Cara faced the river again, not completely
comfortable turning her back to him. She was pretty sure he was close to her
age, so why did she feel so threatened?
Power. Strength. Assurance.
Even as enthralled with superheroes as she and Arac
had always been, she’d never realized those words could be felt. Yet they
poured off of him in waves. She glanced over her shoulder. He’d been shrouded
by the hood, and she’d barely seen anything beyond his blazing gaze. He stood
with his back to her, so she studied him.
His posture was
impeccable, with his back straight, feet shoulder-width apart, hands still
buried in his jacket pockets. He looked entirely alert and ready. Even though
it seemed he watched the water tumble and trip down the rapids, she felt his
fierce gaze was directed inward. Focused on memories or thoughts she would
never see, though suddenly she wanted to. Mystery teased her curiosity. She
sensed this stranger had a compelling story to tell. Or maybe she just hoped for a distraction from her own horror story.
As if he’d heard her reflection, and wanted to hear
more, his head shifted slightly, angling toward her. Another shiver shuddered
through her body. She had to remind herself that superpowers weren’t real, and
still she wondered—hero or villain?
