Book Blurb: Demi Redding has used her powers to vanquish demons for years, but when one shows up next door she will be forced to set both her experience and instincts aside to battle a war that has nothing to do with magic, and everything to do with matters of the heart.
As a Keeper of the Innocents, Demi’s load as a
guardian reduces with only one charge to take on at a time. However, when her
new foe proves to be a force she can neither see nor find, she has no choice
but to doubt the so-called good intentions of the stranger one door down.
Rhyzel Connor is not your average neighbor by any
means. The red specks of color in his green eyes alone sets him apart and his
demonic heritage makes him an easy target. Because of who he is he can’t afford
a mistake that will result in his demise, but the fact that he knows way too
much about Demi quickly raises the suspicion veil over him.
There is a mission he must complete, and secrets he
must fight hard to keep, but the biggest hardship he must face will be
forfeiting his life in order to save Demi’s.
Excerpt:
Everything happened so fast I couldn’t even react.
Stunned, I just stood there for a moment trying to size up my attacker. Before
I even glanced up to look at his face I could tell something was off with him,
but because of my nervousness, it was hard to tell for sure. He’d come out of
nowhere, and if he intended to kill me, I was easy prey.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?” a deeply
masculine voice growled at me. Fortunately, that same voice helped break me out
of my stupor.
I was prepared to see some form of evil glaring down
at me, but what I found when I glanced up was definitely not what I was
expecting. The handsome stranger staring at me was hot. Not just your average
Joe kind of hot. No. This was like the kind of hot that makes a girl want to
sin in ways she’d never done before.
His pale skin, tousled, bronze colored hair, and
full lips were striking to look at, but his eyes left me completely speechless.
Perfectly round green eyes stared back at me and
though they were gorgeous all on their own, it was the few specks of red in his
irises that I found beautiful and so unusual. I was left with my mouth hanging
open. I’d never seen eyes that color before and no matter how many times my
brain yelled at me to look away, I just couldn’t. I was drawn to him. To his
unique eyes. To the mystery that shrouded him.
“Are you deaf?” the tone of his voice rose a little
more.
“No…no. I-I…was just—” My speech was impaired by his
handsomeness and I felt stupid. It wasn’t like he was the first cute guy I’d
ever seen. As a matter of fact, I’d broken up with my boyfriend two months ago
and he’d been the cutest guy I’d ever seen. Now that this stranger was standing
in front of me, I wasn’t so sure anymore.

to Bryn, however, dealing with people is a whole different story.
As her 18th birthday approaches it's time for her to
take on her first assignment. Bryn is forced to confront her inability to
communicate with others in an effort to save the one soul that can mean the
difference between life and death for mankind.
Johnny Shaw is a lost soul with a personal vendetta
against witches...
A vendetta he has carried on even after death. As
much as he hate's them he must join forces with a keeper witch, in order to
stop a century old threat. When fate brings them together, not only will they
be forced to learn how to work as a team, but they will have to depend on each
other to stop an evil witch carrying a six hundred year grudge!

Excerpt:
Before entering the property, I’d made sure I was
protected and no amount of demon magic could’ve bypassed that spell. Unless of
course, the demon happened to be hundreds of years old. This wasn’t the case,
however— of that I was sure. A demon looking to destroy a witch wouldn’t wait
so long to finish her off, especially when she was already down. With that in
mind, I lifted my bruised body off the ground and stared ahead of me.
“Well, isn’t that something.” Yes, I was pissed. And
yes, I wanted whoever or whatever attacked me to know it, too. “You must think
yourself really tough because of that surprise attack. But I’ll tell you one
thing, you’re not really original.”
When I received no response, I hurried to add, “Come
out and fight me like a man.” I was unsure of what I was dealing with, but
aware of the fact that somewhere ahead of me there were a pair of eyes on me. I
could feel them practically peeling my skin off. “You want to battle? Then show
yourself and let’s get to it! I’m not afraid of you.”
“Go away, witch!”
He
knows I’m a witch? How? None of my previous charges could
tell and even after I told them who I was and why I was there, they still had a
hard time believing me.
“You waste your time by coming here.” That voice was
as angry as any I’d ever heard.
“I’m not so sure about that.”
“Get the hell out of here,” the voice demanded.
“And if I don’t?”
