Reawakened
by Carrie Pulkinen
GENRE: Paranormal Romance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jules Hume lives in a world where magic is a myth and
supernatural creatures are fiction—or so she thinks. As a strong, independent
woman, a relationship is the last thing she needs. Then she meets Ian Kincaid,
a mysteriously sexy bachelor with otherworldly charm. She's instantly enamored
of him, drawn by an inexplicable magnetism. Ian awakens something magical
inside her, opening her mind to things she never thought possible. Things that
shouldn't be possible. But Ian has secrets Jules is better off not knowing. The
truth will tear her world apart, making her question everything she once knew
to be real.

EXCERPT:
And then
it happened. Ian looked right at me. Our eyes met, and something inside me
burned. It started in my core, and a heat pulsed out through me. My body ached
to be close to him. I shivered, and he smiled. I smiled back, then looked away;
the intensity of the eye contact was too much for me. If I believed in love at
first sight, I would have said this was it. But I didn’t…believe in love at
first sight, that is.
“He’s
coming over here,” I whispered to Beth.
“Uh-oh.”
She looked at Cameron.
“Beth,
Cameron, it is so good to see you,” Ian said. He looked at each of them, and
then his eyes focused on me as he spoke. “You must introduce me to your friend,
Beth.”
I felt
electricity prickling my skin, and it gave me goose bumps. I couldn’t take my
eyes off him. Even under the dress shirt and tie, I could tell his body was
exquisite. My fingers twitched with the urge to touch him.
“This is
my mom, Jules. Mom, this is Ian.” She looked at him incredulously; then she
looked at me and back at Ian again.
“May I
join you?” Ian asked as he pulled out the empty chair. He didn’t wait for an
answer. “Is Jules short for another name?”
“It’s
Juliann, but everyone calls me Jules.”
“Juliann.”
The syllables rolled off his tongue like music. My heart melted when he said my
name.

Carrie Pulkinen has always been
fascinated with the paranormal. Of course, when you grow up next door to a
cemetery, the dead (and the undead) are hard to ignore. Pair that with her
passion for writing, and you've got the perfect recipe for an exciting
storyteller.
Carrie spent the first part of her
professional life as a high school journalism and yearbook teacher. She loves
red wine and chocolate, and in her free time, she likes to read, take pictures,
and play with her kids.
