Nothing sucks more than when that crazy hot guy in the club you just hooked up with 1. is incredibly arrogant, 2. ignores your opinions, and 3. might just be an effin' divine being. ******* Hey, beautiful girl, I know you wonder what I am and who I am. You’ll also never see this letter, which is too bad: I haven’t been this honest with anyone in years. I don’t blame you for your curiosity; you can’t read my mind, and as an empath that must be driving you crazy. But if it makes you feel any better I can’t read yours, either, and in my many years of living on both this world and others I’ve never been so attracted to someone before, nor wanted them to know my true self like I want you to. You’re incredible, brilliant, funny, and I’m more alive with you than I am with my own kind. Unfortunately I can’t let you know what I am, or the crazy things I get up to at night. In a city filled with murder and the echoes of the demon-angel wars creeping in from the margins, it’d be best if you stay far away from me and the baggage I carry. Despite that, I keep wanting to pull you in, and kiss you, and make you mine again and again and lift you to heaven. It’s too bad you’ll never know more than my smooth, arrogant exterior. But let’s be honest, you’re as guarded as I am; and we seemed doomed to circle each other until this strange dance ends. But if I can’t have you, I’ll just tease you ‘til you scream; it’s almost as much fun as the other options. Sincerely, Gavin Barrett ********* Tina Eddings is an empath and a librarian who wants to focus on her beloved job and avoid romantic relationships of any kind; trying to get intimate with someone while knowing their every thought and mood is no fun. But then she hooks up with a stupidly handsome and annoyingly arrogant redhead, and before she knows it he’s showing up at her work and making her suspicious about who - and what - he really is. In a city fighting over demon rights and baffled by the daily murders of demon supporters, how can Tina be sure the jerk hottie she can’t stop touching isn’t deeply involved? Empath’s Curse is a 80,000 word novel about paranormal love and the frustrations of chemistry and pleasure in the face of disagreements and lies. Guaranteed HEA, no cliffhanger, no cheating, humor and action, sensuality and emotional honesty.
