Here's an excerpt from The Return:
Shaking my head, I pivoted around and walked down the long
hall to my dorm room. As I reached the door, the shiver was at the base of my
spine again, dancing its way up until it traveled across my shoulders. My heart
turned over heavily and I closed my eyes.
Twice in one day.
Oh God.
I’d
never felt this more than once in any span of several days.
Swallowing hard, I wrapped my fingers around the doorknob,
battling the urge to turn and scan the hall, because I knew no one would be
there.
Dragging in a deep breath, I opened the door and stepped
inside the room. My brows flew up, and I forgot about the feeling as I closed
the door behind me.
Erin was sprawled on the floor, palms pressed down on a mat,
her spandex-covered behind jutting up toward the sky. She turned her head,
peering at me from under her armpit.
Her armpit.
“How in the world do you get your neck to bend like that
without killing yourself?” I asked.
“Skills, yo.”
Erin did yoga and meditation religiously, saying it helped
merge her yin and yang together or something. She’d once told me she had a hell
of a mean streak, and contorting herself into painful-looking positions helped
keep “good vibrations” around her. Which was strange, because I’d never seen
Erin lose her temper in the two years I’d known her.
Erin unfolded herself from some kind of downward dog or
upward pony and grinned at me. “Check under the bed.”
Curious, I dropped my bag and stepped over her legs. Bending
down, I lifted the bedspread and my eyes grew to the size of saucers when I
spotted the bottle. I snatched it up and clutched it to my chest as I whipped
toward her. “José!”
Her grin spread into a smile. “The best boyfriend ever.”
It's been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they've given him have been violent and bloody--which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He's got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.
Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy's deal might be, but it's a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her.
But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all.
Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.
