The Remingtons: A Twist of Love by NY Times Bestselling Author Calinda B

The Remingtons: A Twist of Love 

NY Times Bestselling Author Calinda B

 Forced into rehab by lead singer Dante Vegas, the Marked Love drummer Gia “Styx” Swain wants nothing to do with sobriety—or the gorgeous, kind man she’s been assigned to be with twenty-four hours a day. Her hand forced, unable to deal with her situation, she escapes his care, heedless of the consequences.
Marco Monroe, a former ex-Marine, loves helping people get free of their addictions. He’s good at it. Plus, it helps keep his mind off the tragic accident that stole his fiancĂ©e away. Being a sober companion to the drummer of one of his favorite bands proves challenging…as well as difficult to stay mindful of his boundaries.
With everything on the line, can they possibly yield to the potent attraction between them? Or, would giving into one another destroy everything they’ve sought to create?




EXCERPT

Marco nodded, turned, and dragged Gia from the bar, across the sticky tiles.
"Stop it!" she protested. "You're hurting me. I still have bruises."
Marco said nothing, shoving open the door.
Gia blinked again, her eyes stinging from the late morning light. She glanced at the grimy sidewalk, covered with litter. "Where'd you learn to fight like that?"
"Marines," Marco said, in clipped tones.
Her eyebrows flew up. I've got a Marine as my sober companion? Shit. I just thought him a fitness addict. Real fear made an appearance for the first time since this whole shit-storm began, like arms trying to crush her chest.
"So, what next?" she said, still tripping over her feet.
The guy had a long-legged stride.
"New plan," Marco said, approaching a shiny SUV.
A couple of teens lounged against the vehicle, arms crossed. One of them had a cigarette dangling from his lips.
"Thanks for watching the car, guys." Marco fished in his pocket, pulled out a wad of bills, and tossed it in the boys' direction.
The kid with the smoke deftly caught the crumpled bills. He removed the cigarette from his mouth and fingered the cash. When he unfolded the wad, he grinned.
"No problem.” He nodded to his companion. “Let's roll."
Marco dragged Gia toward the vehicle. He hauled open the passenger door and shoved her into the seat.
"Ouch! Quit being so rough with me," she said, noting the same new whine as yesterday.
"Apparently, you like it rough if those sleaze-bags I just tossed are any indication." He reached down for the glove box, opened it, and retrieved a set of handcuffs.
Gia's eyes grew large. "What are you going to do with those?"
"Sex games, what do you think?" Marco said, a glint in his eye.
For a fleeting second, hope flitted through her woozy brain. Might be nice.
He grabbed her wrist and fitted one of the cuffs over it. He clicked it shut. He fitted the other end over the door handle before slamming the door shut.
She tugged against her restraints. They didn’t give. She let out a sigh and slumped against the interior.
Marco climbed in the other side, blasted on the ignition, and took off.
"Where are we going?" she asked, as they headed out of Peckham.
"You'll see." His lips pressed tight.
Gia stared out the window at the London cityscape. When it yielded to rolling hills and quaint cottages, her brow furrowed.
"Where are we going?" she asked again.
The big guy stayed quiet.
"So, I get to know nothing?" she asked. She started to cross her arms at his silence, but the cuffs pulled at her wrist. She let out a huffy sigh.
He drove through a silly little town full of shops and tourists, and then headed toward the hills. He hooked a hard right into a gravel-lined driveway, leading up to an innocuous looking house at the top of one of the hills.
"B&B?" Gia said, grinning. "Is this where the sex games commence?"

The Newest Release by Amy Manemann: Through the Darkness




Through the Darkness
Book 2 of the Lightkeeper Series 
By Amy Manemann



 
Willa Devries is struggling with both her newfound powers and her puzzling feelings over the two men in her life. Since being thrust into the magical world, Guardian Braeden Mathieson has been her rock, and when she’s safe in his arms, the weight resting on her shoulders fades away.

Lucian is a Warlock, albeit an annoyingly charming one. It’s bad enough he’s already wormed his way into her mind using his magic to connect their thoughts. The charming Warlock also seems to have taken an avid interest in amusing himself with her love life.

The lunar eclipse marks the night when magical powers will be at their fullest. Ronan Vale, Willa’s estranged father and high wizard of the Underworld, has captured innocent lightkeepers, Addison and Riley, and intends to kill them during the eclipse ceremony. By consuming their light powers in death, his powers will be unmatched by anyone, and not even the most powerful lightkeeper in history will be able to stop him from bringing forth the darkness.

 Excerpt:


A strange calmness settled over me, stilling the fear and anger wreaking havoc on my mind. Somehow, I knew it was my Wizard blood. I couldn’t explain the feeling other than in that moment, I knew exactly what I needed to do.
Reaching out with my mind, I drew on the werewolf’s dark energy, drawing it towards me. It was allowed to pass through my shield to touch my skin, and I flinched at the contact, even as my magic rejoiced. It felt wrong and yet right all at the same time. And I wanted more.
Opening myself up, I allowed the magic to tangle with my Wizard blood, gasping in surprise at the rush of power that overtook me. It was unlike anything I’d ever experienced, even more powerful than my Lightkeeper powers. Looking down at my hands, I was startled to see a reddish hue surrounding them, sparkling and crackling in the morning sunlight. Holding my hands up to the sun, I stared in awe at the reddish trail of color I made by moving my hand back and forth. “This is amazing.”
Feeling the effects of my magic, the werewolf’s face changed from mocking to alarm. He took a stumbling step backwards, holding a hand out in defense. “What are you doing? How are you doing it?”
I slowly rose to my feet, my body feeling weightless, yet heavy with the power thundering through it. The wolves pacing the edge of the perimeter whimpered, slinking away at my approach. I smiled, enjoying their fear, tasting it on the dark tendrils of magic I was slowly draining out of them. 
“Willa, stop…” Keeley’s voice seemed far away, a small echo in my ears. I could only focus on the wolves in front me. I needed to drain their dark energy, needed to use it for my own use…
I froze, mouth dry with fear. What was happening to me? This wasn’t who I was. It wasn’t what I wanted. I didn’t hurt people. I was of the light, wasn’t I?
“I-I don’t know how.” I answered, startled by the voice that came out of me. It was deeper than normal, resonating with power and energy that brought everyone around me to the ground. I had felt this power before back in Salem when I brought a room of witches to their knees. This was different than it was before. It was stronger, with a much darker purpose.
It was my Wizard blood.
With a flash, my eyes snapped shut and I jerked my hands towards the sky, releasing the dark energy swamping my mind and body. The red energy swirled like angry fire from my fingertips, a spinning vortex of fire, wind and ash. The sky turned blood red as the power engulfed the heavens, and the howling wind and fire spun faster and faster, capturing everything in its path until finally spent, everything became quiet once again.

 


And Don't Miss out on Book 1 - 
Into the Light

Nineteen-year-old Willa Devries is no ordinary witch. Born to a sacred race known as the lightkeepers, for centuries her lineage has been charged to carry out their time honored duty of holding the light of the world against the darkness. Willa’s twentieth birthday will mark the day when she comes into her full powers, a day she’s been anticipating forever. Only the rising darkness has become more powerful than anyone has ever seen, and with her birthday only a week away, Willa begins to question if she’s ready to feel the weight of the world on her shoulders.

Braeden Mathiesen is a Guardian sworn and trained to protect the keepers of light. His life has been spent preparing for the day when he would be sent to aid Willa in her lightkeeper training. Yet upon his arrival to the sleepy town of Salem, Massachusetts, he quickly realizes he is unprepared for the extent of her incredible power--or for the woman who will steal his heart.

The fate of the world lies in Braeden and Willa's ability to push past their feelings and learn to harness her powers, before the dark underworld rises up and covers the world under a blanket of darkness. Failure isn’t an option; the world depends on it.
