Shattered Grace
Seventeen-year-old Grace grows up knowing she’s different, but she
always attributed it to a mother who didn’t want her, a father who abandoned
her, and a curse that sets her apart. Despite those struggles, her grandfather
remained her rock and confidant. Her life irrevocably shatters the day her
grandfather dies.
The day of his funeral sets off a chain of events, making Grace
question everything she’s ever known to be true, and as a result, who she can
truly trust. She inherits his house, part of his money, his Guardian, and
something that ties them together. Just before Grace’s 18th
birthday, she is thrust into a world she couldn’t fathom existed. She’s been
destined for greatness, but at what cost? With eyes now open, she must decide
to either be Chosen, or watch those around her suffer the consequences.
Torn between the man who’s come to protect her, and the one sent to
destroy her, she teeters on the edge of contemplation…
What does it mean for those she loves….and the rest of mankind?
Excerpt
He turned and rested his shoulder against the door frame,
staring deeply into her eyes. Even in the dim light, Grace could see the
instant his gaze switched from playful to intense. Down there in the closed
confines of the underground, it became more than just a stare. It seemed like
the stare sucked the air right out of the hallway, because she suddenly
couldn’t breathe. Her heart rate spiked simultaneously, making it that much
harder to gasp for the depleted oxygen quietly. Grace took a step backward and
her shoulder blades pressed into the wall. She held the bag against her chest,
hoping to seem at ease, even though his gaze made her want to squirm.
Slowly, Quentin folded his arms over his chest as well and
crossed one foot over the other, never taking his eyes from hers. A devilish
grin turned the edges of his mouth up like horns, and she couldn’t take it
anymore. “What?”
“Nothing,” he replied, turning his head and smirking at the
wall. When he pushed himself away from the door frame, the hole-boring
intensity was gone. “Relax.” Right, she sighed mentally.
