WICKED Synopsis:
Things are about to get Wicked in New
Orleans.
Twenty-two year old Ivy Morgan isn’t your average college
student. She, and others like her, know humans aren’t the only thing trolling
the French Quarter for fun… and for food. Her duty to the Order is her life.
After all, four years ago, she lost everything at the
hands of the creatures she’d sworn to hunt, tearing her world and her heart
apart.
Ren Owens is the last person Ivy expected to enter her
rigidly controlled life. He’s six feet and three inches of temptation and
swoon-inducing charm. With forest-green eyes and a smile that’s surely left a stream
of broken hearts in its wake, he has an uncanny, almost unnatural ability to
make her yearn for everything he has to offer. But letting him in is as
dangerous as hunting the cold-blooded killers stalking the streets. Losing the
boy she loved once before had nearly destroyed her, but the sparking tension
that grows between them becomes impossible for Ivy to deny. Deep down, she
wants… she needs more than what her duty demands of her, what her past has
shaped for her.
But as Ivy grows closer to Ren, she realizes she’s not the
only one carrying secrets that could shatter the frail bond between them.
There’s something he’s not telling her, and one thing is for certain. She’s no
longer sure what is more dangerous to her—the ancient beings threatening to take
over the town or the man demanding to lay claim to her heart and her soul.
We have an awesome WICKED excerpt for you today! Check it out below!
All the words in the world vanished the moment I got an
eyeful of Ren.
Holy hotness with an extra side of sexy, when Ren cleaned
up, he took his handsomeness into a totally different stratosphere.
The waves and curls of his hair were currently tamed, styled
back from his face, showing off the angle of his cheekbones and the fullness of
his lips. He was wearing a white dress shirt that showed off the hard lines of
his broad shoulders and flashed a glimpse of tawny skin at his neck. I noticed
then, somehow never really seeing it before, a leather cord hanging from his
neck and disappearing under his shirt. I was sure that was what carried the
clover, but as my gaze traveled over him, I quickly forgot about it. The edges
of the tattoo poked out of the collar of his shirt, and his sleeves were rolled
up to the elbow, exposing powerful forearms. The dark trousers completed the
outfit. It was effortless class.
When I dragged my gaze back to his, I realized I hadn’t been
the only one doing the scrutinizing. He was staring at me in his intense,
consuming way, and I stepped back from the door, suddenly feeling very . . .
vulnerable. As if I was exposed in front of him.
Heat crept into my cheeks as I plastered my arms to my
sides. “Sorry I . . . took so long. I was . . .” I trailed off as he continued
to stare at me. “What?”
Ren stepped into the house, catching the door and closing it
behind him. His presence filled the living room, and I could barely drag in enough
air. “This is wrong,” he said, voice thick.
Surprised by the statement, I glanced down at myself. I
knew I looked like a silly girl playing dress up. “It’s the
only dress I could wear,” I said, feeling the weight of embarrassment settling
on my shoulders.
He gave a little shake of his head as his bright green eyes
met mine. “Oh, sweetness, you did wrong in all the right ways.”
I wasn’t following.
“How in the world am I going to pay attention when you look
like that?” he chided softly, and my eyes widened. He moved forward, so close
that I had to tip my chin up to meet his stare. He reached out, fingering the
loose sleeve of my dress. “You are utterly distracting.”
“I am?”
A half smile appeared as his fingers skipped off the
material and traced the line of my shoulder, sending a tight shiver down my
spine. Then his finger wrapped around a curl, the back of his hand brushing the
swell of my breast. He tugged it straight like he’d done before. “You are
absolutely beautiful, Ivy.”
