A WAR OF HEARTS AND A SEA OF SMOKE




A WAR OF HEARTS

Jake was waiting outside the little cafe on East 8th Street. When he saw her heading towards him, her face lit up with a bright smile, it brought out a sense of urgency in him. Unable to wait, he ran over, taking her hands, holding them tightly. They stood immobilized in the middle of the busy sidewalk, looking into each other’s eyes, oblivious to the herds of people swarming past them.
          "Hey," she finally said, breaking the trance.
          "I'm glad you came.” He touched her face, then kissed her. His hand settled on her back, guiding her out of the way of two oncoming bicyclists. "Are you hungry?"
          His eyes seemed to penetrate her soul—they were so dazzling, deep, compassionate. She studied his face, committing it to memory. Especially those delicious lips. Dazed, she couldn't think straight.
          "I'm not sure..." She shrugged with a shy grin.
          "Let's go in. We can find a booth in the back.” For the second day in a row, the twinkle in his eyes was back after a long hiatus. His fingers laced through hers, tight and protective, as they strolled into the dimly lit cafe.
Pulsating indie rock music filled the air. The place was packed, but they finally found a booth close to the back door. He slid next to her, their thighs pressing together. It wasn't satisfying enough for either of them. They moved in closer.
          After the waitress took their order, Jake concentrated on Kristen’s face, his fingers tenderly touching the black and blue bruise on her cheek. "I noticed this outside. What happened?" His hand dropped to lay upon hers.
She looked down, avoiding those dark, dreamy eyes. What can I tell him when he doesn’t even know I’m involved with anyone, let alone married?





OBSESSIVE LOVE. VIOLENT ENDS.

Kristen, Jake, Logan are controlled by desire.
They will experience the pain.
Witness the devastation.
Their hearts will be broken.
Lives will be destroyed.
But it doesn’t matter.
They are addicted.
There is no going back.
And they will do anything for love.
ANYTHING!

BOOK 1 - A WAR OF HEARTS:

A SEA OF SMOKE



“I don’t know which character I loved more! They are all beautifully written and tragically flawed. It made the story go by so quickly! Once I started this book I became consumed!” Katy R. 5*

“AMAZING!! This book had me hooked from the start! Amazing characters, gritty and full of suspense with romance and a love triangle thrown into the mix.” Elizabeth 5*

"The author's "blurb" does not do this book justice. Holy Smoke what an absolutely crazy ride I just finished reading. The ups and downs, the back and forth AND the sideways!!!!! Love, hate and hate to love and everything in between." - Lisa - 4*





A SEA OF SMOKE -

One fatal mistake.
That’s all it takes to change everything.
And now the living nightmare begins.

How far would you go for love?
Are you willing to kill for it?
Or die?
Jake and Logan are.
Why?
Obsessive love knows no bounds.
Who can control what they don’t understand?

BOOK 2 - A SEA OF SMOKE:

“This book begins a few months after the first book ended. The drama hits you like a sledge hammer from page one!… the gritty realism in this novel will have you on the edge of your seat the whole time! I couldn’t put it down until I knew what happened next!! I absolutely loved all the drama and back and forth made for a quick read. ” — Katy R. 5*

"Book 1 was good, but OMG (I can't say that enough) book 2 just, at a loss of words to describe how good it was. This book is the definition of "psychological thriller”…
