Blurb
Denying her love for her childhood friend, Jeff, Trinity visits her family’s ancestral land, believing the Wild family magic has called her there to meet her soulmate. Instead she finds danger at every turn, but she won’t have to face it alone.
Jeff has loved Trinity his whole life, but settled for friendship after she broke his heart on prom night. Now this soldier turned firefighter faces the supernatural to protect Trinity and convince her once and for all that they belong together.
Excerpt:
Terror and rage overcame Jeff. He had to get back inside, but the doors were locked. He ran to the shed near the cabin, grabbed an axe and raced back to the house. He broke the living room window and climbed in, the axe in hand.
Mysti sat at the bottom of the stairs where Trinity lay, unconscious. The hairy demon loomed above them, growling. Its gaze shifted instantly to Jeff and it lunged at him. He swung the axe, but the demon dodged it and lashed out, its claws sweeping Jeff’s shoulder, leaving bloody, stinging trails across his flesh. Jeff had no time to think about it. He swung the axe again and again. The beast ducked and swiped. It managed to grab hold of the axe handle, its claws sinking into Jeff’s hands and wrists. Jeff bellowed, but held fast, though the powerful creature might rip his arms off.
Mysti, who had grabbed a poker from the hearth, struck the beast in the back of the head. It growled and released one hand from the axe to swipe at her. Jeff kicked it several times in the gut. Mysti kept swinging the poker and Jeff gave the beast a final hard kick in its hairy balls. It howled and staggered backward.
“Jeff,” Trinity said weakly just before he swung hard at the beast. It raised its arm and the axe blade cut to the bone.
The beast howled again.
Mike burst through the door, his dark eyes shining with a weird amber glow. He looked different somehow — almost demonic himself. Growling deep in his chest, he approached the severely wounded creature.
“Finish me,” the demon’s deep voice trembled. It cradled its half-severed arm. “Better to die than live with this failure.”
“Yeah. We’re going to talk more about that,” Mike said, his voice also deeper than usual.
“Kill me!”
Panting, his teeth grinding and his hands tight on the axe, Jeff loomed over the creature. He’d love to give the beast what it asked for.
The creature lifted its pain-glazed eyes toward Jeff. “You’re no witch or shifter. What are you?”
“Just a guy with an axe.”

Like the final line after a great battle.
I’d guess that dealing with a demon with just an axe may go a long way toward convincing Trinity they do belong together.
Love the last line! Mike’s line too, “We’re going to talk about that.”
Great excerpt!
