Confronted with the truth about

Sebastian’s enemies will stop at nothing to get what they want, and they want
her.
The energy between them is as intense as
ever, but as the danger mounts, and loyalties are tested, Sophia must answer
one simple question. What is she willing to risk for love?

Teaser (Note: Text may change a little before
publication)
The third or fourth time I woke, it was
with a sob. Moonlight cast the room as a series of jagged silhouettes, and
despite knowing that I was somewhere safe, the unfamiliarity of my surroundings
sent something sharp skittering through my chest. Suddenly,
it felt like everything was closing in around me. I let out another cry and
burrowed deeper under the covers, feeling fresh tears welling in my eyes. I
didn’t want to be this person, this person who cried at shadows, but I didn’t
know how to deal with the emotions that were roaring up inside me.
I felt another bolt of fear as I heard
the door open, but in a moment there was a familiar weight on the bed, and then
Sebastian’s arms were circling my body from behind.
“It’s okay,” he said softly. “Let it
out.”
I have no idea how he knew I was in
distress, but in spite of everything that was still unresolved between us, I
loved that he’d come. The sheer strength of his presence dwarfed everything
else, dulling the fear. He was like an anchor, and I clung on for dear life
lest I slip back below the surface again.
He didn’t say anything else, and so
neither did I, but just the act of being together was enough. I lay there,
listening to the sound of his breathing, enjoying the sensation of that solid
chest rising and falling against my back. Gradually, my turmoil began to
dissipate. I had no idea how he had such a calming effect on me. When we were
together, nothing else seemed to matter.
Author Bio
Maya Cross is a writer who enjoys making
people blush. Growing up with a mother who worked in a book store, she read a
lot from a very young age, and soon enough picked up a pen of her own. She’s
tried her hands at a whole variety of genres including horror, science fiction,
and fantasy, but funnily enough, it was the sexy stuff that stuck. She has now
started this pen name as an outlet for her spicier thoughts (they were starting
to overflow). She likes her heroes strong but mysterious, her encounters
sizzling, and her characters true to life.
She believes in writing familiar narratives
told with a twist, so most of her stories will feel comfortable, but hopefully
a little unique. Whatever genre she's writing, finding a fascinating concept is
the first, and most important step.
The Alpha Group is her first attempt at
erotic romance.
When she's not writing, she's playing
tennis, trawling her home town of Sydney for new inspiration, and drinking too
much coffee.
