Synopsis:

He's a game she never intended to play. 
And she's the game changer he never knew he needed.

The Perfect Game tells the story of college juniors, Cassie Andrews & Jack Carter. When Cassie meets rising baseball hopeful Jack, she is determined to steer clear of him and his typical cocky attitude. But Jack has other things on his mind... like getting Cassie to give him the time of day.

They're both damaged, filled with mistrust and guarded before they find one another (and themselves) in this emotional journey about love and forgiveness. Strap yourselves for a ride that will not only break your heart, but put it back together. 

Sometimes life gets ugly before it gets beautiful...

Excerpt

Introduction to Jack

Jack walked, no, make that sauntered, over to where I stood. His black cargo shorts and tight-fitting gray baseball t-shirt did a number on his body. The definition of his arm muscles rippled against the fabric, accentuating his well-defined shoulders on his six-foot frame as his arms swayed. He tilted his head and narrowed his eyes at me like I was some tiny, helpless creature who didn’t have a clue it was about to get eaten alive by the most beautiful, albeit dangerous, creature in the jungle. 

I almost felt violated.

I absolutely loved Dracian Legacy and am dying to get my hands on Book 2: Dracian Origins which will be coming out in February 2014(*sob sob*). So here's a lil preview of what's in store for us next year!

For those you who haven't read Dracian Legacy-Don't worry, there aren't any huge spoilers! Enjoy! ;)

Prologue

Eight hours since leaving Rocky Hills

Chaos.

No one knew how they’d found us. But they were here, three to one, Telalian to Dracian. I was swiftly escorted from the danger by eighteen Dracians, two covering each direction and ten more as backup: Axel, Dean, Dimitri, Trinity, Tyler, Carson, Skye, and eleven others I had never met.

The battle screams from behind got fainter. We approached a twenty foot tall bronze colored iron doors. “Prepare for departure,” Axel ordered as Skye pushed open the metal door to a room.

The first thing I noticed was the overpowering smell of sulfur and rotten eggs.

No wonder they thought this was a safe place to transport me. I wouldn’t get a hundred yards near this place, with that lingering smell to welcome me.
