What would you choose?
She had everything but freedom.
He had nothing but his loyalty, his wits and his training.
She was a prisoner, a disease, not fit for the world, and she didn't know why.
But she did know she wasn't allowed to die, she wasn't allowed to live and she
wasn’t sane.
He was a soldier, a protector, but his foundation will be tested when he must
destroy the only light in his dark world.
Thrown together, prisoner and keeper, their rebellion will splinter through
time, changing the course of history and the fate of the world. Their love will
challenge their greatest enemy and immortalize them forever.
Loyalty. Freedom. Love.
What would you risk?
"Let me die."
Pain darkened his eyes. "Never."

Excerpt
She
slept like an angel. It wasn’t the first time he’d thought so, but it never
failed to amaze him just how much. Her hair was a basket of ribbons spilled
across his chest. Her hands, small and delicate, lay lightly curled next to her
mouth. She breathed through her nose and made a soft exhaling sound through her
mouth. She was perfectly molded into his side, the way she had been since they
were children and he’d wake up with her draped across his stomach, her foot up
near his nose. She hadn’t been nearly as graceful a sleeper then. He also
didn’t pinch her feet to wake her up anymore.
Instead,
he lightly kissed the riot of ringlets on the top of her head. His fingers
glided over the curve of her shoulder, down her arm to her elbow. It took a
little longer, but he enjoyed the morning ritual.
“Amalie?”
he whispered into her temple.
“Five
more minutes,” she grumbled, burrowing her face into the hollow of his throat.
Biting
back his chuckle, Isaiah shifted his weight, slipping out from beneath her and
lying on his side. Her whine had his lips twitching.
“What
if your father goes to your room and finds it empty?”
She
peeled one eye open, squinted at him. “He’ll come in here and force you to
marry me in order to uphold my honor.”
He
laughed. “First of all, he’d probably kill us both and secondly, he wouldn’t
have to force me to do anything.” He kissed her gaping mouth. “Come on. Get
up.”
Her
giggles filled his ear when he nuzzled the spot beneath her the curve of her
jaw. She squirmed, but he held her down, biting and nibbling on the smooth
stretch of skin. Her squeals faded into soft moans that sent his blood skating
with fire. Her fingers tangled in his hair. Her body arched into his, fitting
every inch as though she were made specifically for him. His own hand traveled
down to her hip. His intentions were to stop her, to restrain her before things
went too far, but his hand came up against smooth flesh where her nightgown had
bunched, exposing her leg from the hip down and his good intentions scattered.
“Amalie…”
The plea in his voice was raw with desperation; one word from her, one flicker
of doubt and it was over. He’d stop.
But
her eyes were as dark as his hunger, her lips red from the being assaulted by
her teeth. The pink in her cheeks darkened.
“I
love you, Isaiah.” And that’s all it took. He came completely undone.
When and where can you get your greedy hands on this book?

She also likes to travel and take pictures of everything she comes across. When asked, Airicka describes herself as a sarcastic basket case that has an unhealthy addiction to chocolate, old movies and really bad jokes. She loves to laugh, make friends and write. If she could have one wish granted, it would be to spend one day as a fly-on-the-wall inside Stephen King's mind. If she could have two wishes granted, she would ask for a castle dedicated entirely to her overwhelming collection of books.
