Description:
When empath
Gyda St. Germaine is rescued from a sex-trafficking ring, she vows vengeance on
her tormentors. Aided by two distinct personalities who bolster her powers, she
becomes a vigilante, hungry for revenge. Her path of retribution tosses her
into the arms of an Order of Themis Siphon and her world is turned upside down.
Fighting her past takes a backseat to her all-consuming desire for the man
whose honor and sense of justice go against everything she believes.
The moment
electricity manipulator Brit Harper stumbled across a feral woman with a bloody
knife, his life changed. Black and white becomes gray as the scales of justice
tip. Fascinated by her strength and the darkness in her eyes, he vows to teach
her the true meaning of justice, and help her explore the passion sizzling
between them. But when the evil haunting Gyda’s dreams returns in the flesh,
he’ll have to choose between his beliefs and the woman he loves.

Excerpt:
He sighed
and took his hat off to run his fingers through his hair, his frustration with
her silence obvious. “Look, I’m sorry…” He looked at her and away, his cheeks
turning even darker. His Adams apple bobbed as he gulped, but he brought his
gaze back around to meet her gaze again, hungry resolve in his eyes. “I’m sorry
for what I did to you in the woods.” He cleared his throat and settled his hat
back on his head. She wasn’t staring at his biceps that bulged and flexed with
the movement and the warmth in her belly had absolutely nothing to do with
attraction. “There’s some powerful chemistry between us, sweetheart,” he
finally said on a near growl. “And it just got the better of me. I swear I
won’t touch you again until you want me to.”
With each
word he spoke, her jaw dropped a little more until she was gaping at him, her
brain firing on all cylinders as she processed his belief in his attractions.
Okay, he was hot. He had that power thing mingling with some country-boy charm,
which she found extremely sexy despite her natural repulsion of all things
male. He knew how to ply his electricity in such a way that it made a woman
cream with want. His body… The man had a body to die for and those tattoos just
begged her to explore them with her fingers and tongue.
Even his
confidence was sexy to an extent. Her brain rejected that thought. He was
assuming she’d just fall into his lap like some slut. Because you totally did
twice before, idiot, Sixteen reminded her with a satisfied chuckle. All that
man has to do is lay a kiss on you and you’re a goner.
Her cheeks
flushed at the reminder because it was true. He’d kissed her twice and both
times she’d fallen prey to his power and that fucking chemistry she wasn’t
prepared to defend herself against. It wasn’t as though it was something she’d
come into contact with before. Sixteen was the sexual one, the one who
discovered the men who wanted to be dominated by a woman. Gyda just let her
have her way and pretended it never happened. So yeah, she had no idea how to
fight attraction like this.
And he planned
to use it against her. Holy shit.
Danica Avet
was born and raised in the wilds of South Louisiana (that would be somewhere
around Houma) where mosquitoes are big enough to carry off small children and
there are only two seasons: hot and hotter. With a BA in History, she figured
there were enough fry cooks in the world and decided to try her hand at
writing.
Danica is
the lucky pet of a compulsively needy dog and two cats. The pitter-patter of
little feet has been known to make her break out into a cold sweat.
Writing is
how she gives the voices in her head a way out. When she isn’t writing, working
or contemplating the complexities of the universe, she spends time gathering
inspiration from her insane family, reads far more than any sane person would
want to, and watches hot burly men chase an oblong ball all over a field.
