Excerpt 1:
“Dying?” Dakota felt like someone had ripped his heart out.  “What the hell do you mean she’s dying,
Carmen?  There has to be something we can do!”
“Do you think I haven’t tried everything? She’s my granddaughter!”
Dakota pinched the bridge of his nose to keep the tears from streaming down his face at the sight of his
heart lying in bed, pale as death.
“We have to do something.  She can’t die.”  He leaned forward to lightly brush a strand of hair from
her face.
“Without her magic, she won’t last long.  Her healing power is what kept her alive when the Brutes had
her before—we just didn’t know it.  Now that it’s gone, I fear she doesn’t have long left.”
“What about Argento?  Their healer?  Is there something they can do?”
Carmen shook her head, and what little hope Dakota had been feeling extinguished at the pain reflected
in the old woman’s eyes.  Anastasia was going to die, and there was nothing he could do to stop it.
“I don’t know what to do.  I’ve failed her. I never should have let her go.” Carmen shook her head sadly
and covered her face with her hands.
“She would have gone anyways.  This is my fault, I blamed her.  I didn’t give a single thought to what
she might be going through.  We need a damn miracle, Carmen.”
Carmen closed her eyes again and gripped the hand of her last living relative.  A thought occurred to
her. “We might be able to get one.”
Dakota looked up at her and saw a glimmer of hope.  “What do you mean?  You said you did
everything.”
“I did.  But there might be someone else who can help.”
“Who?”
“The sorceress.”

Praise for The Sorceress:
“Oh my gosh this book was incredible. It's book three of the series and it was just as great, if not better, than the first
two. It was absolutely amazing. I loved it and all the characters. Jessica is a fantastic writer and she did a great job
writing about Anastasia, Dakota, Elizabeth, Tony and all the other characters. The creativity she possesses to be able
to imagine this storyline and the other worlds and their inhabitants, is truly genius! And that ending was a huge
surprise! If you haven't already you need to read this entire series! Definitely a 5 star read!” -Heather
“Ana and Dakota are back for the final book to this amazing trilogy. This book will have you turning the pages just to
see what will happen next. It is filled with action and adventure as well as the perfect hero and heroine, who have a
love that is stronger than anything thrown their way. A perfect ending.” -Melissa.
“Book 3 did not disappoint! Ana and Dakota come back swinging in this book, it will suck you in! I enjoyed learning

Secret Tryst (The House Of Morgan) by Victoria Pinder. Contemporary Romance. Excerpt & Kindle Fire Giveaway.



Contemporary Romance
Date Published: Feb 27, 2018

photo add-to-goodreads-button_zpsc7b3c634.png



Damien Morgan learned a long time ago that love was just a figment of someone’s warped imagination and good girls simply didn’t exist because women were master manipulators. Nonetheless, he’s happy to wish his brother well when he decides to take the plunge.
Serenity Hanscom is shocked that she’s been invited to the wedding a year after her sister played matchmaker for the groom and had an active role in a plot to murder his sister-in-law. Despite the rather unusual circumstances, Serenity accepts the invitation because it’s an opportunity to mingle with Miami’s elites. But the second she catches sight of Damien, she’s reminded of the horrible events that led to her father’s imprisonment, all because of him. Determined to ignore him, as the evening goes by, she finds herself drawn to him more and more.
Will their plan to stay clear of love backfire on them and instead become the first step to an unexpected happily-ever-after?



Excerpt

This is UNEDITED and will be cleaned up when the book releases in February. This is for sneak peak purposes only!



Once everyone stood up and cheered for the bride and groom's kiss, Serenity sunk in her seat and tried to hide. Her glass was almost empty but it sounded like the ceremony was finished. She stood and joined the crowd of people clapping their hands. Soon, the yacht would return to shore and she'd run.

The bride and groom walked past her fast. The captain said, "Please wait in your seats for five minutes while we transition to the reception. Waiters will offer everyone a glass of champagne for this short intercession."

More champagne might help her survive this. She slumped into her seat and held her hand high to signal she wanted a glass. The waiter handed her glass to the man at the end of the row and her neighbors passed it. Once everyone in her row had a glass, the server moved forward and she nodded her head at the people next to her then took a sip. The champagne tasted sweeter without staring at people her sister almost killed or the man that set her father up. Her skin grew goose bumps and the air grew warmer. There was something tasty in the air itself. A second later, Damien turned around and as he stared at her, he winked, "This will be over soon, sweetheart."

"Don't be sexist." She swallowed her sip and took a deep breath. Damien had no right to say anything like that, to her. She turned her nose in the air. "I'll never be your sweetheart."

"Relax." He then motioned for the man next to him to change seats. Without another word to her, he came and sat beside her. "I'm here to make amends."

"How?" He clicked his glass with hers. She refused to drink and shook her head. "Damien Morgan, that's impossible. You and I can never be friends."

"Why?" He raised his eyebrow.

Tonight he insulted her. Years ago he ruined her life and he had no shame about any of it. She sipped her champagne as steel ran up her spine. "I know who you are and how you knew my father."

He sipped his own glass. "Neither of our father's were boy scouts, sweetheart."

"Perhaps I wasn't clear. Don't patronize me with the nickname 'sweetheart.' It's insulting." Her free hand formed a fist at her side. Damien Morgan was the last person on earth to insult her, again. She knew better than to get riled up. She forced her hand to uncurl itself and gulped another sip. In one minute, she could get up with the crowd and lose Damien.

"I'll happily be your sweetheart."

"Never going to happen." Sometimes she wished she was a guy who could tell another to back away and be respected. She folded her hand over her waist. "Forget this conversation."

"Serenity..."

"Wow." Her eyebrows both raised as she shook her head. "You do know my name?"

"I should not have insulted you earlier. I'm sorry."

"Don't." Sorry echoed in her ear. If it was anyone else, she'd close her eyes, say a prayer and then wish him well. However Damien wasn't anyone else, and he had no idea. She finished her drink and then waved for the waiter to get another. Once she had her drink, she squared her shoulders and stared hard toward the now empty altar. "You didn't know I would walk in on your conversation about me earlier. You didn't know I remembered you at my father's house. And for the record, you say what you want about me. I don't care."


About the Author 

USA Today Bestselling Author, Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun. She’s worked in engineering, after passing many tests proving how easy Math came to her. Then hating her life at the age of twenty four, she decided to go to law school. Four years later, after passing the bar and practicing very little, she realized that she hates the practice of law. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk. After realizing she needed change, she became a high school teacher. Teaching is rewarding, but writing is a passion.

During all this time, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s dreams, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty.

She’s always been determined. She is amazing, adventurous and assured on a regular basis. Her website is  www.victoriapinder.com.
