One lost love.

One lost best friend.

One hot soul reaper.

Straight out of the psyche ward, Cora just wants her life to be normal. She doesn’t want to see souls or the reapers collecting them. The love of her life, the guy she’s loved from a distance for years, has moved away without saying goodbye. So yes, she’s nursing a serious heartbreak. It’s no wonder love is the last thing on her mind when Echo storms into her life.

The chemistry between them is mind-blowing. The connection defies logic. It doesn’t help that Echo is the poster boy for everything she hates in a guy—hot, beautiful, and cocky. A general pain-in-the-butt. Being around him makes her feel more alive than she’s ever felt before. But more important, the souls leave her alone when he is around.

Echo is perfect for her. Echo might even be her soul-mate. There is only one problem. Echo is a freaking soul reaper. A Grimnir. The very beings she wants out of her life. Maybe normal is overrated because Cora wants it all. Answers. Love. A life. You see, once you fall for a Grimnir, your life will never be the same again.



EXCERPT

Where was Echo? What had they done with him? If they’d ganged up on him…

I sighed. There was nothing I could do now without letting them all know my secret. I should have told the blonde not to say anything. Mom’s voice cut through my thoughts.

“Raine can come home with us, Svana,” Mom said.

No, I wanted to protest. Echo wouldn’t visit me if Raine was around. As soon as the thought crossed my mind, I realized how selfish that sounded.

“You should, Raine,” I repeated Mom’s offer.

Raine shook her head. “I can’t.”

“That’s nice of you to offer, Penny,” Svana Cooper said, “but my sister arrived this evening and will keep an eye on her. In fact, the boys should take her home now.” Raine’s mother waved to the Valkyries.

In the years I’d known the Coopers, I’d never heard her or Raine mention her family. “You have an aunt?” I asked.

“More like a half-sister of my mom’s. They were estranged, but they recently made up.”

“Could you take Raine home, Torin?” Mrs. Cooper asked.

“Yes, ma’am,” Torin said, but Raine was already shaking her head.

“No,” Raine said. “I’m not leaving until Dad wakes up. I have to know that he’s going to be okay.”

“Oh, sweetie,” her mother said, cupping her face. “I know how you feel. I’m going to be here keeping an eye on him. Nothing is going to happen to him without me knowing. And the minute he regains consciousness, I’ll call you.”

Kiverson Residence
Vienna, VA
Five years ago




“The only thing you kids need to know is to protect the family,” Asan Kiverson said. His gaze bore into each of his children.



Kevin, the eldest, returned his gaze steadily.



Angela, the middle child, nodded hesitantly, so Asan gave her a reassuring smile.



His smile faded when he looked at his youngest child. “What’s the matter, Benjamin? Don’t you believe me?”



“Yes, Papa,” the boy murmured.



“That’s my boy. You can choose your own path, but always remember the family protects its own. One day, perhaps you kids will be called upon to protect the family.”

About the Author

Julie mainly confines her writing to three genres: Christian inspirational, YA real-world science fiction, and normal science fiction. 




She likes teaching, writing, reading, sleeping, doing puzzles, and hanging out with friends. (Not necessarily in that order)




Writing has made her super picky about the things she reads but normally, her reading list includes something that fits under the thriller, mystery, science fiction, or fantasy.




Occasionally, she attempts short poetry. The poems turn into songs, which she sings with abandon when nobody's looking.

Promotional Event - The Collins Case by Julie C. Gilbert

Title: The Collins Case

Series: Heartfelt Cases (Book 1)

Author: Julie C. Gilbert

Release Date: October 31, 2012

Genre: Christian Mystery

Presented by: As You Wish Tours

BLURB


Working for the FBI certainly isn’t a “normal” job, but Special Agent Julie Ann Davidson has never encountered a case as personal as this one. Although not officially assigned to the case, Ann and her partner, Patrick Duncan, take up the cause of finding Rachel, Jason, and Emily Collins. As if that task wasn’t enough, Ann and Patrick also have a baffling case of internet thievery to investigate.

Who is Christopher Collins and what about his past is endangering his family? Where are Rachel and the kids being held? Where is God in the midst of chaos? Will Ann and Patrick arrive in time or will they find only pain?



 EXCERPT


After work on Thursday, Rachel Collins stopped at the grocery store for basics and something special for dinner. Having heard many horrible stories, she didn’t dare leave the children alone in the car. Warnings about best behavior fell upon deaf ears. Somewhere, she found the patience to tolerate Jason and Emily’s childish antics.

“Why you frown, Mommy?” Jason asked.

“I’m just tired, Jay,” replied Rachel. Her mind took a trip back to the office where a thousand little things had gone wrong. The secretary’s morning car accident had added considerable stress to Rachel’s hectic life. Her trust in God’s sovereignty didn’t make lousy days any easier to live through.

For years she had believed Christ to be mere church rhetoric. Finally, during a particularly rough college year, she had accepted God’s gift of salvation through Jesus Christ’s sacrifice. It pained her that Chris avoided church. Come Sunday, Rachel forced a bright smile, sang in the choir, helped in the nursery, and coordinated other children’s ministries. In fact, she kept herself so busy with work, kids, and church that her spiritual walk floundered. Stress and bills were her biggest problems, but she understood that they allowed her family light, food, warmth, and a fine home in the great state of Pennsylvania. She knew the ‘could-haves’ and the ‘what-ifs’ could drive her mad so she decided not to worry about the future.

“When we get home, you need a nap,” Jason said.

Her son’s solemn suggestion drew Rachel back to the present. She chuckled softly. Children were a blessing, even if they did jump all over her nerves sometimes.

“Cookies!” Emily shouted, pointing with a tiny finger.

Annoyed at herself for wandering down the wrong aisle, Rachel winced at the volume, grabbed Emily’s wildly waving hand, and said, “Hush, sweets, I see them.”

That’s what you get for not paying attention. Oh well, the damage is done. The pantry’s nearly empty anyway.

She let them each pick a favorite and finished the hike to the back corner where the main selection of milk and eggs were located.

Ingenious to put milk in the back, Rachel admitted.

Next, they swung by the fish department where Jason made a face.

Emily covered her nose and announced, “Stinky!”

BOOK ONE OF UNEXPECTED SERIES   
                                                                      
UNEXPECTED LOVE
Someone has watched her every move...
Throughout Arissa's life, she has experienced disturbing cold chills running down her spine, the kind that let a person know something is not quite right. For as long as she can remember, she has sensed she is being watched, but has been utterly unsuccessful in finding the person responsible for making her doubt her sanity. Her hope is that in moving away to college she will have a fresh start and a chance to find herself.
After years spent watching her, now he is developing strong feelings for her. That was never part of the plan, never his intention. Ideally, she would remain unaware of his presence in her life. Of course, life rarely unfolds, as it should. The best-laid plans often unravel.  And the best kind of love is completely unexpected.



TEASERS:
 I want this beautifully sculpted man. I lick my lips in anticipation as he tugs me into his immense arms. I caress his jaw sliding my lips over the prickly skin. He lets out a throaty moan, and it makes me eager for more. I run my finger down his bare chest and he stiffens from my touch. I become aware of his breath tickling my neck, my pulse quickens and I glide my lips down his torso and just as I am about to unbutton his pants, I awake to this loud music.
****  
   I hear someone banging on the door and it gives me the courage to try to fight him off me again. A rage courses through my veins and all I see is red, I kick, slap, punch, and scream with everything in me and with all of his strength he tries to stop me. He has his hands so tight around my neck I am gasping for air. My body starts to go numb as I start to fade.
****






BOOK TWO OF UNEXPECTED SERIES
                                                  
UNEXPECTED DESTINY
After experiencing a life-altering event, it changes everything. Arissa Perry's outlook on life and what is most important to her. Leaving her devastated and seeking comfort in the one place, she truly feels safe, those strong comforting arms and calming green eyes.

This time is different.
This time he is here and not just a figment of her dreams.
This will change everything.

Just when things feel perfect, it gets complicated. The one person she believed she knew is not who she thought. Will she still want him, when his secret is revealed? Her life will take some dramatic, unforeseen turns that lead to her Unexpected Destiny and Arissa must choose- fight or fail?



TEASERS:

****
Once again, I awake with one hell of a hard on. Repeating my last few days morning ritual that I have now become accustomed to. I jerk off recalling how hot she looked in that dress last night. I think about the way her ass looked when she bent down and how it would feel to stick my cock in her while she was bent over like that. I finish myself off quickly so I can get back to her.~ Christian
****
I leave the bathroom door open just a bit and undress where he can catch a glimpse of me. I recently had my shower redone and it’ all glass you can see through every inch of it. The back wall is tile, but the rest is glass. I am sure he is getting at least a little show of what I have to offer. Score one for me!~ Arissa
****
Just as the shower comes to a stop, I close my eyes and pretend to sleep. I can tell that she was annoyed by this. Cause she let out a little huff, when she walked naked to her closet. Yes, my little angel face is becoming quite bold. I had to peak when I heard her open the closet door. Up close, her ass is divine, so firm and luscious. ~ Christian
****
“Shit, can we just do it now? Just hearing you say those things does things to me. I already crave you, I don’t know how much longer I can wait. I don’t care about waiting till marriage anymore, all I want is you.” ~ Arissa
****
“I promise I will not hurt her, and I will protect her with my own life. I love her very much and I only want what is best for her. If at some point I am not it, then I will walk away so that she can have whatever makes her happy.” ~ Christian.
