Let the Hunt begin…
Blending in with her college co-eds proves difficult for vampire Hunter, Emma Martin, considering the mystical tattoo on her wrist glows whenever Vamps are near. And after three months of silence, the glow is back with a vengeance.
Jake Cunningham witnesses Emma, a violet-eyed beauty, using unimaginable powers to fight off a fanged creature. Finally, after two years of searching, he may have found out what he’s become—a Hunter, like Emma.
Thankful for an ally in the fight against the Vamps, Emma finds hope and comfort in Jake’s arms. As she learns more about her new love’s family and its dark heritage, she may be forced not only to hunt them but to sacrifice her life to save Jake’s soul.

“When I started out on this writing journey, it felt like such a far away dream. I constantly asked myself, ‘Really? Me? A writer?’ Then when I was published I still asked, ‘Really? Me? An author?’ Along the way things inspired me, obstacles shot up, and doors both opened and closed…but through my faith, family, and friends, I found motivation to continue on my dream - dreams of something bigger than all of us. Whether it’s writing, music, dancing …”

The voice is a powerful thing…
Russell Leonard is a centuries-old Guardian who’s lost faith in his purpose. So when he’s charged with procuring the first female Guardian in over two centuries, he can only hope it’s the red-headed beauty who’s been haunting his dreams for months. And if it is, he intends to claim her as his. But when he finds his dream woman, Annabelle is mute and bears no Guardian’s Mark.
He soon realizes she’s been tainted by an ancient evil. Russell must somehow release the secrets trapped within this delicate soul to help her tap into the only weapon powerful enough to silence a millennia-old demon—her voice.
Guest Post: The Definition of Awaited
by Lynn Rush
AWAITED: Yes, it’s the title of my newest release, but the title itself is an interesting topic. The definition of the word itself is, be in store for (someone).
However, when I first went to the dictionary to look up the “official” definition, I got frustrated by its first definition: “wait for.”
Ugh! You shouldn’t be able to define the word you want to learn the meaning of in the definition … it is so not right!
So that’s why I liked the second part: be in store for.
Now that’s perfect. Be in store for. They went on to put in parenthesis (of a person) be in store for.
Yummy!
I LOVE romances where either the hero or heroine (or both for that matter) have had a premonition, dream, or hint of some kind about someone they’ll meet.
There’s just something utterly romantic about that in my mind. It’s not for everyone, I know that, but I love it.
But are you supposed to sit around and wait for your awaited?
That’d be a BIG NO! What fun would that be? That’s the part I love about writing … Figuring out what obstacles to throw in the paths of the characters. All of the fun twists and turns … And don’t forget the romance!! That part’s super fun
