Summary:
Being a ParaScience freshman is a

And she had no idea the danger she
aroused.

Hailey’s
dreams have always been, well...vivid. As in monsters from her nightmares
follow her into her waking life vivid. When her big sister goes missing,
eighteen-year-old Hailey finds the only thing keeping her safe from a murderous
3,000-year old beast is an equally terrifying creature who’s fallen “madly” in
love with her. Competing to win her affection, the Dream Creature, Asher, lures
her to the one place that offers safety—a ParaScience university in Alaska he
calls home. There, she must learn to live with a roommate from Hell, survive her
ParaScience classes, and hope the only creature who can save her from an evil immortal
doesn’t decide to kill her himself.

Exclusive excerpt from the book - A Guarded Girl:
Hailey
stared at the empty can on her tray, silently willing the caffeine to kick in.
The last thing she needed was to fall asleep, dream of monsters, and have an
“episode” in front of her 200 closest non-friends.
No
way she’d let that happen.
Now
if only her droopy eyelids would cooperate, because the hard plastic chair
under her butt sure wasn’t. The dang thing was teasing her and feeling mighty
comfy, like a puffy armchair, and she was sinking fast. Thankfully, though,
just as her head bobbed, the bell rang, jolting her into a wide-eyed, full-body
spasm.
Great. Real smooth, she thought, rubbing her face with
both hands as a few gigglers shuffled past.
She
groaned, rising with all the enthusiasm of a mushroom, not at all looking
forward to another two hours inside the social torture chamber, or as everyone
else referred to it, South Side High School.
She
was so intent on avoiding the students there for the rest of her senior year
that she rarely looked up from her books anymore, and those last two hours
dragged. When three o’clock finally rolled around, she bolted outside, took the
first open seat on the bus, rested her head against the window, and let it
bounce there. She was just about to make it through another day of school very
happily unnoticed, when Tage Adams smacked her on the back of the head.
“Ah!”
she yelled, startled from sleep.
The
bus was waiting at their stop, like normal, and Tage was waiting for her in the
aisle, politely—not normal.
Tucking
a wayward strand behind her ear, she hurried off the bus.
Tage
followed.
“What’s
up with you today?” he said nonchalantly, adjusting his pace to walk next to
her.
He’d
never done that before.
“Nothing,”
Hailey said, surprised Tage was talking to her. They’d been catching the bus at
the same stop for four years, and he’d never so much as looked at her.
“You’re
usually not like that, that’s all.”
“Like
what?”
“Nodding
off in class, falling asleep on the bus…you know, slacking off. It’s just, you
know, you usually have your nose in a book.”
He watches me?
“Oh,”
she said, unsure.
“Guess
you were working late last night…St. Paddy’s Day…”
“Yeah.”
Of course she was working late. Her family owned the most popular Irish pub in
Pittsburgh. Hailey pressed her lips together. Small talk was not her
thing. Especially not with him.
Her
mind went blank.
Searching
the pavement for a thought, she chewed her lip as too many seconds stretched
the silence. Finally the pressure forced her good sense aside and she opened
her mouth to say…anything.
“What’s—”
“Well,
see ya ‘round, Dancing Queen.”
She
snapped her mouth shut and waved as he peeled off and trotted down Bridge
Street. She tried to form the word, “bye,” but all that came out was “buh—”.
Standing dumbfounded, she stared after him. She hadn’t realized Tage knew she
existed, let alone the fact that she waitressed. And danced.
Stunned,
Hailey walked, then jogged, then stopped dead to puzzle over what had just
happened. Then she jogged again until she finally reached the pub.
Nobody at
that school “chatted” with Hailey. Not since the fourth grade, not since the
day a particularly mean girl concocted a particularly ugly rumor—that Hailey
had started the fire that killed her parents. The whispers and sideways glances
lasted close to a year, and in trying to defend herself, Hailey only made
things worse. By the time she figured out that nobody else believed in pyromaniac-nightmare-monsters,
it was too late. She’d already earned the label, “weirdo,” which,
unfortunately, stuck.
