BOOK ONE INSIGHT SERIES
Willow
Haywood has always been trapped between the worlds of the Light and the
Dark. Her waking hours are plagued by her ability to feel the emotions
of those around her. No matter how inward she draws, she cannot shut out
the feelings of others. Sometimes she will see images - echoes of other
people and places - that she can enter to influence the emotions of
people she has never met.
By
night, Willow experiences her only escape from this terrible insight -
entering into the world of dreams. Most of these dreams are shared in
blissful silence with a stunning blue-eyed boy. But every new moon she
lives through something much darker: a horrific nightmare shared by
another mysterious boy who is always shrouded by shadows.
One
night, this shadowy figure invades her dreams outside of his appointed
time. In this new nightmare, Willow is marked; a mark which follows her
into the waking world and sets her on a momentous path through light and
darkness, through fragmented myth and half-truths, through past lives
and disturbing family secrets, all in the face of the ever-dominant
Zodiac. What she finds will endanger the lives of those closest to her
and will force her to make a decision that will change her world
forever.
EXCERPT
I felt a blanket of peaceful love with a sense of urgency. The
night air in front of me began to move; it looked like a wave gently
swaying with a current. A thin light began to emerge then Landen stepped
through the wave. I felt the air leave my lungs and adrenaline rush
through every part of my body as my heart violently hammered in my
chest.
“Landen…” I breathed.
In the darkness, I could see his haunting blue eyes widen, we were
both soaked in the emotion of disbelief, along with the fear that this
wasn’t real.
In that beat of my heart he’d reached my side. His hands were
trembling ever so slightly as they cradled my face, and his thumbs graze
the flesh of my cheekbones. He was staring at me like I was a forbidden
fruit, like I was every sin in the book, desire washed over that
lasting look as he leaned in and let his lips frame mine. When we melded
the flesh of our lips together, his hands fell from my face and slowly
waved down my body, embracing my flesh, I was doing the same to him. He
was warm, he was on fire, I could hear his breaths, hear the sweet sound
of our kiss, the way our clothes were moving under our touch. He was
real. He was in my arms, and he was driving me wild. That first kiss was
nothing compared to this, that was a dream, it was fleeting, it was
something that could end at any second, this—this touch, this emotion,
this pulsing of my soul was eternal.
He pressed our bodies together and held me with more strength than
he had ever displayed. We both sought air more than once, but the other
moved closer as soon as that gasp was taken. His warm tongue was
uninhabited yet sensual as it danced with mine. I was devouring every
sensation he was giving me and wanting more, so much more.
I was trembling with passion, I think he misunderstood that, he
slowed our kiss, as one arm went around me and the other cradled my
face. His thumb reached to my lips just as his kiss ended, he tenderly
caressed the moist, swollen flesh he found there.
“I found you,” he said with the lips of an angel. His voice was
deep and entrancing, those three simple words sounded like poetry as he
spoke them.
His eyes danced over my image, “I love you.” he said as he leaned
in and kissed me once more, this was a sweet kiss, only lips, only warm
sensual lips.
