Dreams, The Oneiroi Book 1
Description
When
Lucessa Sarcona awakes from a recurring dream, she has no idea her life is
about to be turned upside down. A stranger, familiar to her dreams, shows up in
the flesh, and Lucessa knows she’s either crazy or experiencing something not
of this world.
A war ensues between three demigod brothers. One, trained to rule Erebos, is violently replaced. One forced to return to his homeland and lead the dream-gods of the Oneiroi. And one is charged with the impossible task of protecting Lucessa. How is she linked to the Oneiroi? Why do two brothers seek to keep her hidden and protected? And how does another plan to use her against the two demigods who love her?
Will Lucessa’s dream man have the courage to claim her as his own or will he bow to the command of another, forsaking the one he loves?
Only in Her Dreams is a modern spin on a Greek legend--the new direction of Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance, moving from angels, demons, vampires, and witches and toward the realm of demigods.

Excerpt
Chapter
3
Darius watched the girl enter her home. It
seemed to fit her, tan with dark green shutters and a well-manicured lawn. An
aged, quaint bungalow in a well-maintained neighborhood. Two neighbors had
waved to him as he drove down the street, for fuck’s sake. He wasn’t out for a Sunday
cruise. What would the neighbors do if they knew his true intentions for
invading their peaceful slice of suburbia?
His source had finally proved useful. I may have to spare his life when the time
comes.
The sight of it--the house, the
neighborhood, the families--all made him sick. This could’ve been me, should be me. Instead, he was stuck on this
godforsaken Earth, most of his powers stripped, forbidden to return to his
rightful place in Erebos. And his only option was the girl. This weak female held
his fate in her hands.
And she hadn’t a clue.
He moved across the street and slipped into
her backyard with only a glance over his shoulder to make sure no one watched.
Her yard surprised and repulsed him just as much as the front of the house. The
front was straight from a promotional brochure, while the back yard gave the
appearance of a Better Homes and Gardening showpiece. There were flowers,
shrubs, and trees covering every square inch. The serenity of it reminded him
of all he despised.
This
was almost me! Good thing I dodged that bullet. Peace, tranquility and harmony
are way overrated. One word: boring. Thankfully, she had rejected him.
After that embarrassing episode he’d shelved his heart--there was no room for
feelings left.
It was time to shake things up and restore
order. His order.
“Master, she has retired to her bed
chamber,” Alexander said.
Darius turned to see his man standing
beside him. Alexander’s ability to move without alerting others to his presence
was what drew Darius to him. After he was banished from Erebos, he convinced
Alexander to join him in his crusade to right the wrongs of his father and
support his new Lord’s cause.
“Enter and report back to me. Find the
connection to my brother,” he said.
With a nod, Alexander vanished as silently
as he’d appeared.
