Angeline gave a noticeable pout. “I’ve been riding the kiddie waves all week. I was really hoping to test out what I’ve learned...but as I said, my instructor seems to be AWOL. Hey, do you think you could take me?”
Sam looked up to the tower at Evan, unsure how to proceed. He would have done anything to say yes right on the spot, but that would certainly get him into trouble. Then again, to send her out alone was irresponsible and could endanger her safety. Knowing exactly how Sam’s mind was playing a game of angel versus devil, Evan shook his head slightly to which Sam rolled his eyes at his new friend, but nodded recognition nonetheless.
“I’d love to, really I would. But, I’m on duty.”
“Oh, of course. That was silly of me. Hey, I’m sorry I bothered you,” Angeline said as she started to turn away from the tower.
“You’re not a bother. Come by anytime. I’ve got sandwiches!” he called out as she headed back down the beach.
Evan smirked at him. “I’ve got sandwiches? Now that’s an original pick-up line.”
Sam ran a hand through his golden hair. “Tell me I didn’t I really say that.”
“Just wondering...did that kind of line work when you were alive?”
Sam smiled in spite of his embarrassment. “Actually, girls found me to be quite cute and charming.”
As if validating his point, Angeline looked over her shoulder at Sam, but seeing him still watching her, she immediately turned back and continued walking to her spot on the beach.
Evan raised his eyes skyward. “Trouble. That’s all I’m gonna say.”
Placing his arms behind his head and leaning back against the lifeguard tower, Sam surveyed his domain over the pristine Malibu beach, taking in the sun, surf, and the beautiful swaying of Angeline’s hips. “That’s the type of trouble that makes life...and the afterlife...worth living.”

I’m Rosa. I’m 15 years old and a sophomore in high school. I’m your typical teenager—well, almost. I don’t have many friends anymore, but it’s hard to blame the other kids. If I was them, I’d probably steer clear of me too, at least most of the time. No one is ever mean to me; I’ve grown up with most of them, and on my bad days, they try to ignore me. Wish I could do the same to those who talk to me. Mostly I just shake my head and carry on. It helps that I have a sarcastic sense of humor.My daily life consists of trying to pass all my classes, getting a date for school dances, and dealing with Nana’s gift nearly every day while I try not to lose my mind.Tut: My name is Nebkheperure Tutanhkame. I ascended the throne of Egypt upon the death of my father, Pharaoh Akhenaten. There has been much speculation in modern day on my death. My concern is finding the final resting place of my beloved queen, Ankhesenamun and making right that which was wronged centuries ago.EXCERPT
Before us, nearly filling up the room and taller than either of us, stands the golden shrine of Tutankhamun. I remembered what else lay in that room. Inside that shrine are three more, each a bit smaller than the outside one. All tucked inside each other like those nesting dolls from my grandmother’s childhood. Inside the last shrine were the four sarcophagi of Tut, each displaying him in golden and jeweled splendor.
The last one holds the famed mask of the golden boy. And beneath that, the body of the young pharaoh who now stands here before me. Beyond my understanding, he has been given back his human form, allowed to return one last time to restore honor to his family, one last time to find his true love. And here I am, trying to help, trying to understand, trying to stay alive. Will I ever be able to go home again? Or will I become as lost as Hesena?

Sonar The Cyclone ExcThe door flew off the hinges across the room. The sirens blazed. Juda went in first with Zephra on his heels. Then Conan ran inside, followed by Cessar, Syira, me, and Bryan. As I entered, Kadeem was surrounded by a mass of his people. He hadn’t made it to Melanie. Kadeem seemed dazed as he stared straight into the eyes of a red headed male. Kadeem had his laser raised, but didn’t fire. The red head smirked. They must know each other. Kadeem’s hesitation gave red head time to react. A bright glow emerged off him and slammed into Kadeem. The surge sent Kadeem flying backward. Syira was on the red head before he could breathe. She wasted no time and blasted red head dead in his heart. Zephra and Juda helped to take out the rest of the group. Plan B was already in action. Bryan was attempting to get to Melanie’s cell. I’m sure we didn’t have long before more Polars came in to help. Melanie looked confused and scared. She was at the far wall of her cell. When she saw Bryan, she ran to the cell bars. Her blond, wavy hair was tangled and a lot shorter. It fell to her shoulders. She had some bruises, but other than that she seemed okay. Bryan quickly made his way to her while shooting his gun. I followed behind him, watching for Polars. Zephra and Juda were double teaming a male Polar. Zephra kicked him in the knee cap and he fell. Then Juda knocked him out cold.A woman Polar was about to fire at Juda and Cessar jumped in and conjured lightning bolts from his hands. The woman shook rapidly and hit the ground with a thud. Juda thanked Cessar with a head gesture. Kadeem, who was unharmed by the earlier energy blast, executed two Polars with his laser. Then he ran and jump-kicked another in his chest. Syira was brawling with two males. One attempted to punch her. She extended her hand without even touching him and he slammed into a wall. The force of impact cracked his head and blood gushed from it. The other male twisted Syira’s arm behind her. She slung her head back and head-butted him. He tried to shoot her and she threw her force field up. Then she zapped him with her gun. Now he was dead.Once Bryan got to Melanie’s cell, her green eyes were wide. I crouched down not far from him, keeping guard. So far no one had noticed him. They were all occupied with fighting.“I’m going to get you out of here,” Bryan told her. “You actually came for me,” Melanie said. “Of course! I would never leave you here to fend for yourself. Step back. I need to get the door open.”She backed away and he started to melt the lock. A male Polar saw him and headed our direction. I shot my laser at him, but he managed to dodge the beams. So I mind-warped him with pain and that took him down. Several more Polars had come to the rescue. Two engaged me. I began fighting them. I hoped Bryan got her out fast. I grabbed a woman by her hair and flipped her over. I kicked her in the ribs and blasted her. The male Polar kicked the laser out of my hand. I mind-warped his ass and he fell to his knees. Two more were on me within a matter of seconds, for Sonar’s sake.Bryan had gotten Melanie out and he had her positioned behind him. He was moving forward, but Polars were coming out of the woodwork. It was hard to judge how many because I could only glance quickly, still fending for myself.“We have to get out of here!” I heard Bryan yell.Then Melanie screamed, “Bryan, look out!” Four males jumped Bryan. I needed to help him, but a woman had gotten hold of me. She punched me in my stomach twice. I recovered and warped her. The other woman took me by surprise and used her telekinesis to strengthen a powerful kick to my chest. I hit the wall, hard. She attacked before I could get up. She tried to kick me again, but I caught her foot with my hand and threw her back. She attempted to use her power, but I was faster. I mind-warped the tramp with pain and she cradled her head. Blood poured from her nostrils.
I turned my attention back to Bryan and was shocked. Melanie was brawling with a male and kicking his ass. Impressive! She socked him in the groin and he staggered. Then he extended his hand and black smoke seeped from it. The smoke began to spin rapidly and he was about to plunge it at her. Bryan was still battling with three Polars. I was about to mind-warp Black-smoke, but I felt a sharp pain in my head. Someone clocked me. I gripped my head and went down.

Breaking Ryann by Alyssa Rae Taylor. Read now the first chapter of this new book in the series. #Giveaway

 

Breaking RyannSynopsis:
He promised to leave me alone, but that was a lie. I should have known he’d have this pull on me—seeping through my skin and into my bones, burning me from the outside in. It’s just like when we were kids, and I can no longer avoid him. I’ve accepted it, but what will it take to convince him that I am no longer his? Is that really what I want?
I told her I’d leave her alone. But who was I kidding? I’ve never been one to back away from a challenge. He stole my girl—my future—from me. I’m coming back with a vengeance.

Chapter 1Reese                                                                      “Keep doing that,” Sean breathes, pulling my bottom lip into his mouth before releasing it. I scratch my nails up and down his back, running my other hand through his golden brown hair. He’s got it cut really short, and I like it. “This?” He switches to my top lip. “Yeah, it feels good,” he says, hungrily moving back and forth over my mouth. When he rocks against me, our tongues collide. I softly moan, enjoying the friction it brings. He squeezes my breast then glides down my quivering stomach, meeting the edge of my shorts. The familiar confusion settles in.“Are you wet for me?” His voice is husky as his fingers slip inside of my panties. Desire pools in his eyes.It’s all in your head, Reese. You can do this. Meeting his gaze, he asks, “Do you want me?” I feel conflicted, not wanting to hurt him. He senses my hesitation and rolls off me, rubbing the space between his brows.  “It still feels like we’re rushing things. I’m sorry.”“Don’t worry,” he replies, clearly frustrated. “Give me a minute to lose this semi, and I’ll be fine.” “I didn’t mean to get your hopes up.” I scoot back against the headboard and fasten my shorts. He lets out an exaggerated breath. It’s been a few months since we’ve called our relationship ‘official.’ He’s never pressured me for sex, but it’s clear my hesitancy is wearing on him.  “It’s your first time. You’re nervous,” he replies, looking straight ahead. I can tell he’s thinking into it. Ever since Luke’s return, I’ve sensed his insecurity. We haven’t spoken since the night he came back, but it doesn’t make Sean feel any better. He knows how much Luke meant to me. “You’re leaving?” I ask as he climbs out of bed.Grabbing his light blue polo, he pulls it over his head, and makes a weak attempt to cover his erection. “It’s late,” he says, tapping twice on the doorframe. “I should go.” He starts down the hall. “Wait.” I jump out of bed, meeting him in the middle. “I love you. You know that, right?” We’ve said it before, but I want him to know that I mean it. “I’m just protecting my heart.” His eyes soften. I hope that means he believes me. “What’s up guys?” Logan calls from the other room.We glance toward the couch, where he and Gia are spooning, the volume on the television set low. I purse my lips, unaware we had an audience, then my eyes move to the fresh bouquet of Calla lilies displayed on our table. A shot of fear bolts through me, and I try to speed things along, lightly pushing Sean forward. “Will I see you tomorrow, or will you be working?”  “Depends on what I get done tonight.”  “Well, you better get going then.” “I’m goin’.”I move him to the door, and he pauses and turns to Logan.“Dude. You’re going to have to quit that.” He tips his head toward the flowers with a half grin on his face. “You’re making me look bad.” I cringe, glancing at Logan. To say he looks confused is an understatement. “The flowers,” Sean confirms. Logan lifts his head. His eyes flick from me to the lilies before he relaxes against the pillow. He focuses back on the television. “Wish I could take the credit, man, but those aren’t from me.”Gia silently apologizes with her eyes. Logan doesn’t know any better. It isn’t her fault. I’m the one who chose to lie to my boyfriend. Hurrying us out the door, I prepare for an argument.  “You lied to me,” Sean says sharply, not wasting any time. His hair glistens under the porch light. “It’s not what you think.” “It’s not? Because I’m thinking Luke sent you those flowers.”  “You’re right. He did,” I pause, sighing. “But they don’t mean anything. I just wasn’t sure how to tell you. I knew it would upset you.”            He looks disgusted. “And that makes it okay?” I sit on the porch bench right outside the door. “Of course it doesn’t. I should have been honest with you. Lying was stupid.” Feeling defeated, I put my head in my hands.             “Is there anything else I need to know, while we’re being honest with each other? Just get it all out now. I don’t want any more surprises.” Uh yeah, Luke has a wife. I shake my head. “There’s nothing.” His jaw ticks like he doesn’t believe me. “Stop reading into this like it’s more than it is. They’re just flowers, Sean.” “Just flowers,” he murmurs lowly, rubbing his hand against his forehead. “Is he the reason you won’t let me fuck you?”  “Excuse me?” My stomach drops.“You heard me.”             “Of course not!” I stand and look directly into his eyes. I’ve always known this was in the back of his mind, but the way he said it hurts. “I can’t believe you just said that!” Luke’s dog barks across the way, and my gaze slides towards his place. “Keep your voice down! You’re being loud.”              “So what if he hears me,” he spits.             “I told you. We haven’t spoken since the day he moved back.”             “How do I know that isn’t bullshit?”             “Because it isn’t.” He only knows a quarter of what happened that night. I left out the candlelit dinner and the wife—a wife I’ve rarely seen around here. I assume they’re having problems already. It wouldn’t surprise me in the least.Two days after we’d met on the rooftop, my heart shattered all over again, when I spotted a woman carrying boxes into his house. I recognized her immediately and ran to the toilet to dry heave, then silently bawled for an hour. I wasn’t prepared to have it shoved in my face. A part of me had hoped that, if I let Luke explain like he’d asked, we’d somehow be able to move on from this, but my logical side told me to let him go. I didn’t want to make the same mistakes as my mother—constantly living in denial. I refused to be that girl.The next night I walked out my front door and came face to face with a large German Shepard. Startled, I took a cautious step back. He sat on his hind legs, lifting a paw like he wanted to shake. Hesitantly, I leaned down to pet him, admiring his brindle fur coat. “Hey there, big boy. You scared me for a minute.” I smiled, and he happily panted in return. “Good thing you’re friendly. Are you lost?” “Chance,” called the voice of the woman from the day before, standing in front of Luke’s place. I froze when she walked over, sizing me up with an eyebrow raised. I’m not sure if she recognized me from the hospital. “I’m Rachelle,” she said, reaching out her hand. It took me a second to take it. She exuded confidence and was disgustingly fit. I wanted to throw up again.“Reese,” I replied with a clear of my throat, before we shook hands. Flipping her hair over her shoulder, her eyes fell on Chance. “Sorry. Blame it on his father. I told him Chance had mastered opening doors.” She tipped her head toward their house. “But Luke had other things on his mind, if you know what I mean.” She laughed half-heartedly. “You know men. Maybe next time he’ll put him away first, like I’d asked.” Reaching for his collar, she said, “C’mon boy. Let’s go,” dragging him back to the house. “It was nice to meet you,” she said right as she shut the door. That was the last time I saw her.“For two damn months this has gone on! You couldn’t tell him to stop?” Sean yells, snapping me out of the memory.  “I didn’t want to face him. I … I thought if I ignored it, he’d get the hint and stop sending the flowers.”“You’ve got ‘em in the center of your living room!” “At first I threw them away, even using his garbage can, so he’d see them.” “You’re giving him the wrong idea, Reese!”“Stop yelling! I can hear you!” I shout, as loud as him.  “Are you going to tell him, or am I?” His fists clench at his sides. “You okay, Reese?” Luke calls, standing twenty feet away. My breath catches as he strides over. Sean pulls me in for a possessive kiss, making things more awkward than they already are. Forcing my eyes shut, I give in, though I’m not done being pissed. What he’d said earlier was disrespectful, but I need to show him there’s no reason for his insecurity. Luke and I are truly over. “You gonna let her answer, or are we gonna stand here all night?” My skin responds to the familiar voice as if it were touching me. Oh God, he’s so close. Sean releases me, wiping his mouth. “Mind your own business. She’s not your concern anymore.” Ignoring Sean completely, Luke asks me again, “You okay Reese?” His eyes search deep, like he’s invading my soul. Chills shoot up the back of my neck. I don’t know how he does it. He’s shirtless and freshly showered—wearing low-slung shorts that show off his muscular physique, and the sexy V framing his pelvic area, one I’ve been known to stare at. I drag my eyes away from his body, breathing in his intoxicating scent. He’s married, Reese. He’s a liar! Remember? “She’ll be fine once you leave her alone. And stop sending the flowers,” Sean growls. “She doesn’t want them.”“You gonna buy them for her?” Luke asks without casting him a glance. A conflict of emotions burns inside my chest. How can he be so protective on one hand, yet so hurtful on another?“I said she doesn’t want you here, man. Go back inside.” The tension continues to thicken. I place a hand over Sean’s chest, giving it a slight shove. “Let’s get you home.” If he doesn’t shut up, he’s going to get his butt kicked.“Do you always let him speak for you?” Whipping around to face Luke, I spit, “I think you know me better than that, and frankly, it’s none of your business.” He moves a little too close, dipping down to meet my eyes. “You being honest with me?” Then Sean’s up in Luke’s face. “She can’t stand being near you, asshole! Take the fucking hint!”Luke smirks, taunting him. “You keep telling yourself that, buddy. Reese and I have a past. I can read her like a book.” He straightens his shoulders. “Whether she’s hiding something, her emotions, her truths, her lies … all of it.”Oh God … where is he going with this?  “That’s special. Really, I’m touched. But where were you when her father died, huh? ‘Cause I was drying her tears, picking up the pieces you left behind. You dumb piece of shit!” I watch Luke’s expression change to lethal. When he turns to me, his jaw is clenched. “If you care about him at all, you’ll convince him to walk away.” His voice is a low growl.I take his threat seriously, grabbing onto Sean’s arm. “It’s late. You have work to do. Remember?” I plead, keeping my voice as calm as I can muster, but I’m not sure that it’s helping. He still hasn’t budged. “Tell him what you said about the flowers. I’ll go home once you’re inside. I’d be crazy to leave him alone with you.” “Luke would never hurt me.” He snorts, then Luke rams himself hard into his chest. “Something funny, prick?” Before I can blink, he’s bumping him again. There isn’t a contest on who would win, if things got ugly. Luke’s an expert, and he towers over Sean. I work my way between them, placing a hand on both of their chests, giving Sean a look of warning. Then I turn my attention to Luke. “I don’t think it’s appropriate that you send me flowers.” A lump forms in my throat. “I need you to stop.” Why do I feel sorry for him? His hands slip deep into his pockets, and slowly he backs away, showing no flicker of emotion. “Done,” is all he says.I lift my chin. Glad I’ve made it easy. Now run along to your wife, wherever she is.When he reaches his front door, I give Sean a glare. He’s still on my shit list. “Told you—you have nothing to worry about.” He wraps his arms around me, kissing the side of my neck, even though I slightly protest. “Something tells me he’s not done yet.”  “You’ll see.” “That’s what I’m afraid of.”  “See you in the morning,” Luke calls from his doorway. His arms stretched out wide, he grips the frame.Sean tenses, and I stare at Luke, confused. “The morning?”Every ripple of his torso is on display under the porch light. “Work,” he replies, with his gaze fixed on Sean, no matter that I’m who asked the question. “I’m back at the gym.” My mouth falls open, the beat of my heart triples its pace, and I stand there, speechless.

Everyone else in the room hung on her words, the men wanting something they could use to jibe him, the women hoping for something that said he would be theirs. But she couldn’t make out the story the cards told. She didn’t have any words, only an ache in her head and a feeling of... dislocation, as though she were looking at herself from far away.Yet words came.“You have seen blood, rivers of it, in a desert.” She blinked. The room began to swirl, the colors of the crowd melting together. “Blood you brought forth through extraordinary heroism in a cause you believed was just.” She stood. The table toppled. Surprised, she glanced down to see the cards scattering very slowly to the floor. But the crowd behind them was spinning faster. “It has left you wandering in your soul, impotent. Evil is around you even now, and may still win out.” Her voice did not seem to be her own. “Many trials are ahead. Thievery will be involved. I see a stone, an emerald. Your arrogance can still be tempered into wisdom by your trials.” She had a sensation of falling, and yet she knew she stood, looking up at him. He too stood, staring in fascinated horror. “Love can transform you.” She gazed up into those green eyes and the room receded entirely.The green of his eyes turned into the green of a stone.It was an emerald, as big as half her fist. It glowed in darkness. A woman’s hand with long nails held it with a pair of silver tongs. The glow of the emerald cast refracted green light on the rough stone walls and floor of a cramped room. He was there: the arrogant, beautiful one. He was naked and chained to the wall. His pale skin stood out against the dark stone on which he lay. “You are mine,” the woman said “The jewel will give you to me.” Fear shone in the man’s eyes. The woman came closer, touched the flesh of his chest with the stone. He arched and groaned. The glow brightened until it lit the cell with a blinding green light. The woman’s laughter echoed crazily back from the rock walls.And then nothing. The stone cell vanished. Kate took one breath, and collapsed.
