A Wicked Awakening

Book excerpt: Cha(c)rie "Cheerio" Manhattan leads an active, picturesque life with the love of her life, Cam. A dance and aerobics instructor at her local community center, Cheerio is well-loved by her students, but taken advantage of by her boss and co-workers. Cam hates her inability to stick up for herself, wishes she was stronger. Little does he know how strong she really is... Cheerio meets a mysterious, gorgeous man during a night out dancing with her best friend. "Sexy girl," he whispers as he grabs her from behind, swaying with her to the music, causing waves of electric pleasure to flood her body. Disappearing as fast as he appeared, Cheerio tells herself he mistook her for someone else, and goes about her life as Cam's shy and reserved girl. But she can't stop thinking of that tall, mysterious, dark-haired man who made her feel sensations she never knew she could feel... Following that encounter, bewildering dreams and strange encounters herald life changing events. One night after a terrifying incident at her community center, Cheerio dreams of painful, long buried childhood memories. Rocked to the core, Cheerio begins experiencing very strange things, and that mystifying man returns to her life, claiming to be there to help her save her life, her heart from evil... Fumbling to find herself and her power, Cheerio finds out much more about her past, present, and future than she ever dreamed possible. Her incredible strength, her passion, her voice, and her innocence can only be found with the mystery man's help...and through a wicked awakening.
