Madison is familiar enough with change, and she hates everything about it. Change took her long-term boyfriend away from her. It caused one of her friends to suddenly hate her. It’s responsible for the death of a local along with a host of other mysterious happenings. But when Madison meets a hot new guy, she thinks her luck is about to improve.
Madison is instantly drawn to the handsome and intriguing Isaac Addington. She quickly realizes he’s a guy harboring a secret, but she’s willing to risk the unknown to be with him.
Her world really spins out of control, however, when her best friend becomes delusional, seeing things that aren’t there and desperately trying to escape their evil. When the doctors can’t find the answers, Madison seeks her own.
Nothing can prepare her for what she is about to discover.
Dangerous, intoxicating, and darkly romantic, Embrace is a thriller that will leave you spellbound.
Excerpt:
There was
something in the way he’d said it that sent an elated shiver through me. Not
because I was nervous to be alone with him, but because I had a sudden urge to
cover his mouth with mine. That would be so unlike me, but at that moment I
wanted to grab the front of his shirt and pull him closer. It took me a second
to compose myself, and I had to focus on my words to get them out in something
that resembled a calm tone.
“Oh, really?” I
glanced around his dungeon-like room. I’d happily be his prisoner.
“Really.” Isaac
crouched down, one hand resting on the floor on either side of me, his smile
devious. “Aren’t you in the least bit curious why?”
My pulse raced
in a mix of excitement and longing. His cologne combined with the scents of his
room and made my head spin. My reply came out weaker than I meant it to.
“Why?”
“First, it gave
me an excuse to get you down here.” He ran his hand over my ponytail, giving it
a gentle tug before placing his hand back on the floor next to me. He was
enjoying himself. “And second, now I can do this.”

What’s one little spell?
When you’re new to magic, one spell can be the difference between getting what you want...and ruining the lives of everyone you love.
Sixteen-year-old Madison has just embraced her magical powers. The trick now is learning how to control them. She and her boyfriend -and fellow witch- can’t even enjoy a simple kiss without getting shocked when their powers collide. Instead of mastering her new skills, though, Madison is stuck watching her kid brother and doing chores.
But being a witch does have its benefits. With a simple spell, Madison instantly conjures the help she needs around the house. Or so she thinks. Her idea of “help” invites trouble of its own as a pair of dangerous yet enticing beings enter her life. When a classmate disappears soon afterwards, Madison discovers she's the next victim of a threat she's powerless to resist...and there’s nothing it won’t kill to make her surrender.
Caught in the crossfire between two dashing but deadly creatures, Madison must figure out which one to trust and how to rid her world of the other—before one of them destroys her and everyone she cares about.
Excerpt:
“Does it hurt?”
My fingertips lingered on the smooth, pearly white scar on Isaac’s chin.
We sat on the
couch in his family room, me straddling his lap. He brushed a stray strand of
hair out of my eyes with his thumb.
“No.”
“It’s cold,” I
said, amazed that the skin there never warmed to match the rest of him.
“You really want
to talk about my scars? I have one on my side too.” He lifted his shirt,
revealing a salmon-colored blemish along his lower ribcage. “I got this one
jumping a fence when I was nine. Didn’t quite make it.” He pulled the waist of
his jeans down next, just low enough for me to see the rope-like muscles that
ran alongside his hip bone. “And I got this one when I was eleven. Tried
jumping my bike over one of those workhorses. Back tire caught on the orange
light. Bike stopped; I didn’t. Flew right over the handlebars. I have another
one on my thigh.” His fingers went to the button on his jeans.
“I’ll take your
word for it,” I said, my hand catching his.
My cheeks grew
warm, and his gaze moved to my lips.
A little about myself: I write young adult and middle grade novels. I love finding new stories that keep me up late reading. While my favorite genre is fantasy, if the book is beautifully written with characters that come alive I’m all over it. My debut novel EMBRACE is now available from Omnific Publishing.
