Special Faith and Trust Monday

So I won't over do the announcements today, because I know what you want.

So I will Remind you Release Day is 4-10-14

I am going to be getting first round Beta Files out VERY VERY SOON

I will be working with Sinful Thoughts Book Blog on a Blog Tour.
I have a wonderful new PA Jen from Jen's Book Reviews (Be sure to like her facebook page)

(Also I have unpublished Seek and Find, You can no longer buy this separate if you have it Thank You so very much. I Promise FAITH AND TRUST WILL BE SO MUCH BETTER AS ONE STORY AND THERE ARE ADDITIONS SO IF YOU HAVE READ SEEK AND FIND YOU WILL WANT TO RE-READ.) 

ONE OF THOSE REASON IS THIS EXCERPT....Part 1: Seek and Find (Colt & Harper) The Werewolf, THE BEGINNING. 

BECCA'S POV (1 of 2) (This is UNEDITED)

****

Rebecca

She had gotten up early and began to get ready. She wanted to go to Rach's funeral. Something in her gut told her that Harper would be going. "Rach I'm so sorry. I should've helped you more. I just didn't know how." She said to herself in the mirror.

"Becca, I'm sorry for calling so late, but I really need a friend right now." Becca was still mad a Rach for the way things ended so she wasn't giving her the time of day.

"Call Colt." She hissed.

"I can't. Colt...will...he'll kill him...he'll kill Richie. I can't do that to Colt." This made Becca want to pay attention to her former best friend. She had called a couple of times before and if Becca answered then well it was a short conversation. Becca couldn't get over how she lost her best friend.

"What do you mean Rach?" Becca questioned with genuine concern.

"Colt and I were going out tonight, but when he arrived I wasn't home. He found bruises on me a week ago. Bruises Richie caused and when I arrived home Colt was beating the tar out of him." Rach was crying hard now Becca could hear it in her voice.

"I hope you let Colt continue to beat his ass." She spit out disgusted at herself for not knowing this was happening. Had Rach attempted to tell her before in one of their short talks after their falling out? She wasn't sure.

"No I stopped him. Richie threatened to press charges. I took care of it though." She sighed.

Becca swallowed hard afraid to ask what she needed to. "Rach what happened?"

"I think I might have some broken ribs, I'm beat up pretty bad." Oh my goodness. Becca began hyperventilating.

"I'm coming to get you, we're going to to go and press charges, and then we're getting you to a hospital. I'm calling Colt as well." Becca was firm on her orders.

"No don't. I can handle Richie." She sounded terrified. Becca tried to protest but Rach ended the call.

Damn it! Becca got her car keys and went for her car. She started the engine, but that was as far as she got. Rach didn't want anyone's help. Not hers, not Colt's, she had to trust her to know what she was doing. She went back inside, instead of to Rach's to demand she pressed charges.

She was harboring anger towards Colt today more than usual. Maybe it was because it was Rach's funeral. She never understood why he didn't march Rach down to the station. She just allowed the thought that Richie had threatened to press charges on him drive her anger towards him for not protecting Rach. He protected himself from jail, instead of his sister and now...well now she was gone and no one else in the world would get to know how wonderful Rach was. Her anger, her sadness, and every other emotion possible just festered as she waited on Harper.

Teaser Time!!

Tai's POV (First Kiss) (UNEDITED)

Tai

When his lips touched hers she was stunned. She didn't move against him at first and he didn't push his lips just stayed firmly against hers. Then before she could fully grasp the situation her tongue began tasting the seam of his lips and they parted for her instantly. When his tongue began to wrap itself around hers she moved with him in a fluid motion. As the kiss deepened she knew she should pull back, but her body was telling her HELL NO! Her knees hit the bed she lost her balance and their kiss broke. She looked up at him as they both caught their breaths.

"I'm sorry Tai." She nodded just as she thought she wouldn't live up to his standards at least she knew that now. She wouldn't have to wonder if she would be broken in the end, he was letting her know now that she wasn't his type, and she suspected that after what left his house this morning. She watched as the look in his eyes changed, they came into focus as if they could sear into her and read her thoughts.

He fiercely shook his head and knelt before her. His hands came to her cheeks and his thumbs caressed them. "That's not what I apologized for. Kissing you was something I wanted to do and it was amazing. In fact I want to kiss you again, but Tai I know that something must've recently happened in relationship for you. I knew that the minute you said you weren't looking. It's all over your face, your body language the way you're carrying yourself. Make no mistake the minute I laid eyes on you this morning from my window I knew you were my one. I don't know how I just did. But I won't push you." She felt the tears fill her eyes. She barely knew him but he could bring out every single emotion in her and that had to be worth something right? She was scared to death though. Her heart had only recently been ripped to shreds by Jordan and she wasn't sure if she could handle putting her heart back on the line. She was at a crossroads and didn't know which to turn.

She took a breath, "Raiden can we just see what happens? Slow and steady, I don't know if I can put my heart out there right now. If you want a chance Raiden you have to let me find my own way." He leaned in and placed a light kiss on her lips.

Part 2: Finding Ozzie

Ozzie & Rebecca (The Wizard)

THE TRUTH BEHIND THE CURSES REVEALED

Ozzie & Peter 

"I know I have a lot to explain dude." Ozzie hated being on the defensive, but the truth was for the better part of their friendship he had been keeping a major secret from the person he considered a brother.

"I should say so. Let's start with how you randomly appeared in front of me earlier." He spit the words at Ozzie. He wasn't messing around he was pissed.

"I found out when we were thirteen that I was wizard." Peter's eyes widened.

"You never showed any signs of having powers Ozzie, what the hell?" The truth was his dad had been training him, but his mother begged him to continue living a normal life. His mother told him that his father would one day go after him.

"Mom wanted me to live a normal life, dad had other ideas." Ozzie sighed.

Peter sat down and scrubbed his hands over his face, "I get man we all have secrets."

"What the hell does that mean Peter?"

Peter shook him off, "I knew Bree was an evil witch I thought she had some hold on your dad, but now I'm thinking that's not the case."

Part 3: Seeking Neverland 

Peter & Forest (The Fairy)

THE FINAL GAME

Ozzie & Peter

"Get your stupid ass in here." Ozzie snapped as he opened the door.

Peter hung his head and shoved his hands into his pockets. He was prepared for the lecture from Ozzie. "Let me have it Ozzie." Peter sighed.

"What the fuck man this was your second chance with a girl I now know you never stopped loving?"

"I don't want to play Bree's game. I don't want to drag Forest into this craziness." Ozzie nodded.

"It's too late. Time to suck it up dude, it's your turn." Ozzie scolded.

"But..." Ozzie shook him off.

"There are no buts man. You want Forest this is the price. We can find a way to make this the end Peter. I promise you if you can just believe have faith and trust this will be her final game." Peter shook his head.

One sacrifice...
Happily ever after...
I'm beginning to question it's existence
~Tai

900 Facebook Likes and Promised Faith and Trust Excerpt

Thank you all for 900 Facebook Likes I am in utter AWE! We are almost at 100 Twitter Followers and I feel beyond blessed and am so thrilled to bring you this Faith and Trust excerpt for Faith and Trust Monday.

Release Day: 4-10-14

THE WEREWOLF...
THE WIZARD...
THE FAIRY...

AND
THE WOMEN WHO LOVE THEM.

Synopsis:

PART ONE: SEEK & FIND (COLT & HARPER)
Colt Withers' life changed October 31st, 2012. That Halloween night, he needed to forget his twin sister Rachel. Unexpectedly, he stumbles upon a wicked voodoo queen. Now, after a not-so-lucky encounter, Colt must find his true love, gain her love, and learn to love himself, all before the New Year is rung in. Or forever remain a werewolf.
Harper Grace has been quiet and reserved ever since her mother died when she was twelve. She has tried to be in control of everything. Her dad tries his best and Harper loves him for it, but without her mom, she is lost--until she meets the mysterious Colt Withers. Colt is like no one else she has ever met, but she knows he has secrets-- things that she doesn't do well with, since she can't control the outcome. And she hates not being in control. When he reveals his secrets, can she handle it and stand by the only person to make her feel alive since the passing of her mother, or will she run and revert back into her self-controlled shell?

PART TWO: FINDING OZZIE (OZZIE AND REBECCA)
When you watch your best friend find her soul mate, it's hard not to want that for yourself. That was how Rebecca Patton felt watching her friend Harper fall in love with Colt. But an ordinary girl's night out with Harper changes everything when Becca meets Ozzie. She feels a connection to him, but then he disappears for five months, and Becca begins to question whether or not it is possible for her to have the fairy tale. When he comes back, Becca will have to determine if she can have faith and trust as she takes a chance on this very handsome—and very mysterious—man.
Ozzie is a wizard. And a pretty important one, at that. As son of the Headmaster of West Witch Academy, a "special" hidden school in a shady part of New Orleans, he certainly has his future planned out for him. But it's not particularly one that he wants—especially now that he's met Rebecca. But his dad's all-too-young "woman" is into some sick and twisted games, and if he wants to escape his so-called destiny and have a chance at forever with Rebecca, he is going to have to play them.

PART THREE: SEEKING NEVERLAND (PETER & FOREST)
Forest McAdams just moved into New Orleans and knows no one until she meets her neighbor Rebecca Patton and her fiancé Ozzie. They seem nice and soon she is hanging out with Becca's friends. That was how she met Peter, sort of. Ozzie's best friend. His crystal blue eyes seer through her and before she can blink she's in Peter's arms and their fighting to save his life.
Peter is a fairy, yep that's right wings, flying and a bit of magic dust. No one knows his true identity, not even Ozzie who he has known his whole life. He wasn't always a fairy. The change happened two years ago when his father suddenly disappeared, the only reason he was given, his mother. When he reconnects with Forest they get thrown into a world where make believe becomes reality, and second chances are possible. Peter just wants peace, nirvana, Neverland.
One more game, faith and trust.
Ask yourself do you believe in fairies?

 

 

EXCERPT:

PART 3: SEEKING NEVERLAND

PETER & FOREST (THE FAIRY)

 

 

THE FINAL GAME

 

Forest　

"Forest!" Her new neighbor Becca calls from outside while banging on the door. They're going out tonight Becca, her fiancé Ozzie and they're meeting Becca's friends Harper and Colt.　

This isn't the part that terrifies Forest. She has met Harper before, not her husband Colt but she knew from Becca and Harper he was nice. She trusted that. Ozzie, Becca's fiancé is awesome. He and Becca live together so they had become friends too. It was the other person joining them that terrified her. Ozzie's best friend Peter.　

Forest had lived in New Orleans briefly once when she was fourteen and she a met boy that summer before leaving named Peter. Forest hadn't told Becca yet, but for some reason deep in her gut she had feeling this was going to be the same Peter.

The one that promised to call and write. Although at the time Forest believed him and believed in fairy tales she didn't anymore. Peter hadn't followed through with his promises, but really what was she to expect they were fourteen?

Opening the door she sighed, "why did I let you talk me into this get together? And where's Ozzie?"

Becca chuckled, "if you had any idea about how that last question relates to everything Ozzie and I are together you'd laugh, but to answer it since I actually know, he's at Peter's. Seems you are not the only one in need of persuasion for this get together. And to your first question because you are curious about meeting Colt and Peter. Now let's go Chica." She grabbed Forest's hand and proceeded to drag her out the door.

Why oh why her?
Peter
"Dude seriously, you're letting your fiancée meddle. I'm not interested. Fuck man you won't even tell me her name." Peter was beyond frustrated with his friend for this. He had no clue why he was even going.

"Forest." Ozzie responded cooly rocking on his heels, his hands in his pocket.

Peter's head snapped towards his friend, "what did you say?" No way this was possible. Could this be the same Forest from the summer he was fourteen? He only told Ozzie about a girl because saying her name after she had move away hurt.

It hurt so much he never followed through on his promise to her, he couldn't bear that they were no longer going to see each other every day. No way! She couldn't be back, this girl Ozzie and Becca had been dying for him to meet couldn't be her, it wasn't possible. She was the reason Peter had told Ozzie what he and Becca had would never happen for him. It had already happened and he had blown it by not staying in contact with her.

A year after she moved away he got a letter from her. She had called him several times but he never answered. Honestly it was because he missed her. He was fourteen and had fallen so hard he didn't know what to do when she left.

"I said her name is Forest. And Peter I think you'll like her." Peter shook his head and fell back onto his couch.

"No Ozzie I love her." He spit out.

"Umm...mind explaining that a little further man?" Ozzie asked sitting next to him.

"Remember that girl from the summer when we were fourteen?" Ozzie nodded but remained silent. "Dude her name was Forest. How many people name their kid Forest?" Ozzie's eyes widened.

"What are you waiting for then Peter? This is your second chance. You talked about that girl every damn day for a year." Ozzie didn't know the half of it.

"Ozzie I broke a promise. She hates me I have the letter to prove it." Ozzie shook head and grabbed Peter's arm taking him with him as he stood.

"We're going now. You're going to trust me on this. I thought I had blown it with Becca too, not once but twice so let's go. It's time you believe in the faith and trust crap Harper spews out, because guess what you're never going to understand it, but if you believe it all things are possible, even fairy tales."

With that statement Ozzie shoved Peter out of the apartment. He still didn't have a good feeling about this, but he was going to go with it and hoped Ozzie was right.

Thank you all again for the amazing support...this book will be better than the simple novella series I was putting together and worth the wait.

Again Thank you for your Support I am so thankful to all of you.



~AMANDA KAY~



Faith and Trust News! This is Huge News!

First let me start of saying I am grateful for all the support on Seek and Find. It has been amazing. I love all of you so very much. After consideration and talking with book bloggers who reviewed Seek and Find I have decided to go forward on something I was thinking about. Making the Faith and Trust Series one book broken into parts.

Seek and Find will remain for sale for now, at 0.99. Finding Ozzie and Seeking Neverland WILL NOT be published separately. Seek and Find will be re-edited taking into account reviews I have received.

Release Date: 4-10-14
I have decided to move forward with this as I believe it is the best move for my career as a writer. I know some people are not fans of novellas so this is my solution. Plus I believe it will enhance the storyline as a whole.

This is how it will read:
Part 1: Seek and Find, Colt and Harper's Story
Part 2: Finding Ozzie, Ozzie and Rebecca's Story
Part 3: Seeking Neverland, Peter and Forest's Story

The characters won't go away in each part previous characters and some of their storyline play important parts in moving along the storyline of other parts.

I have been doing teasers on Mondays for Finding Ozzie. Teasers will continue but now they will come from all parts. I am super excited to put this together and go back to the editing board for Seek and Find. I want to show my readers how much I love their support and their opinions and this is one step to do that

Seek and Find on Amazon ~0.99~ If you want a jump start on the series
on 4-10-14 you will not be able to get this separate anymore.

FAITH AND TRUST COVER REVEAL:

So tell me what you think? Comment on my Facebook Page, My Website, or here on My Blog

---------------------------------------------
BETA READERS GET READY YOU SHOULD HAVE YOUR COPY BY THE END OF THE WEEK (THERE IS STILL TIME TO GET IN ON BETA READING SEND ME A MESSAGE FOR DETAILS.)

I promised a Tai and Raiden Teaser: So here is a small Teaser (Unedited)

This is From The Prologue (RAIDEN'S POV)

Raiden

She was standing in the center of the village she looked so completely lost and so fucking adorable. He knew just looking at her once he wanted to make her his. No, that is wrong. Not wanted to make her his, needed to make her his without a shadow of a doubt in his mind.

She definitely wasn't from around here he would have seen her before if she had been. Hell he probably would've been off the market ages ago if she lived there. "Raiden what are you looking at?" He snapped his head from the window back to his bed. Damn it all to hell why did he bring Gloria home last night? She had been trying to get into his bed for the last year and half and now she had, it was time for her to leave.

"You got your fuck Gloria. You can leave now." He hissed and refocused his attention to the window.

She was now sitting on a bench just outside the gate of his house. Actually is was more like a castle he didn't really care it was a place to live and place to bed countless women. At least the was the way he used to look at it, but looking at her whoever she was he now only wanted to ever bed one woman there again, her. It looked as though she was writing, maybe a journal or diary he couldn't tell from his window but he sure as hell had every intention of finding out.

"Baby come back to bed." She whined, did she think that was attractive, because it sure as hell wasn't. His head snapped from the window again. She was interrupting his gawking at the mystery woman he had to meet.

"Gloria I believe I told you to leave." He hissed again, not taking his attention from her this time till she actually got off his damn bed and out of his house. Shit what more did she want? She got what she had wanted for the last year and half now she needed to get the hell out.

She glared at him but pushed herself off the bed and bent to retrieve her clothes. He watched her, she was beautiful, but she was a bitch. Not something he wanted in his life for more than a night. He crossed his arms and waited while she dressed. She was moving so slowly. Oh hell!

"Hurry up Gloria. You need to get lost." He snapped leaning against the wall next to the window. They usually didn't spend the night but he was so trashed last night that when he finished fucking her he passed out, he was paying the price for that now.

"You know you can be a real jackass Raiden?" She spit out. Wasn't anything he didn't already know so it didn't bother him one bit, in fact it brought out his attitude.

"Yea been told that once or twice." His cockiness fully apparent in his voice.

"Seriously Raiden you know I was the best lay you've had in a while. I know who you've slept with." She was pissing him off. His reputation wasn't a secret, but her shit don't stink attitude always ticked him off. It was one of the reasons he put off bedding her for as long as he did. Last night he had a weak moment and she ended up in his bed. She got what she wanted, and he got what his cock needed now things were done between them.

"Look Gloria you got what you wanted. I won't deny you gave me what I needed but this is nothing more than last night. Now I won't tell you again get out of my damn house!" The glare in her eyes told him she understood this time. She wasn't happy about it but he didn't care.

The Prince Charming Search (The Search Series #1): Tai & Raiden's First Time

 (Both POVs, cut from chapter 8)

 

(Keep in mind this is completely unedited)

 

Tai

What he was doing her body at this moment was causing internal explosions. His hand reached for the button of her jeans and she let out a gasp. His hands stalled, why the hell was he stopping? Her eyes were closed but she felt suddenly felt his breath at her ear. "Tai we can stop." No she didn't want to stop, why did he want stop?

"You want to stop Raiden?" She painfully questioned. He said he loved her had he changed his mind already? The last six months her and Jordan hadn't had much of a sex life, she thought it was because she was so busy with wedding stuff but she now knew the truth behind that. Was she nervous to sleep with Raiden? Of course. Could he feel that. Had it turned him off?

"Tai sweetheart open your eyes." She did as he commanded. "Are you okay?" How did she answer that? Was she okay? She wasn't completely sure.

"I'm nervous." She choked out.

"Do you want to stop?" She shook her head.

"Do you?" She managed to get out.

"No Tai I don't, but I don't want us to rush. Why are you nervous?" He asked and she owed him an honest answer

"I...ummm....I haven't slept with anyone in six months. I thought it was because I was always so busy with the wedding stuff, but now I know why he seem un effected by the fact that we weren't having sex." She bit her bottom lip.

"Was Jordan your first Tai?" She just nodded. "Tai I'm going to take care of you. If you need to stop or need me to go slower just talk to me. No matter what it won't affect us, as much as I want you I can wait. Remember I want something everlasting." She expelled the breath she didn't realize she was holding.

"I'll be okay, I trust you to take care of me. I want this." He smiled and his eyes stayed locked with hers as his hands started on the button of her jeans again. As he worked down her zipper she could feel herself relaxing.

 

 

Raiden

He could literally feel her begin to relax as he gently removed her jeans her eyes hadn't left him since he made her open them. She was nervous, he understood that and immediately realized he needed to love her with care. He noticed that she seemed to think he wanted to stop when he questioned if she needed to stop. She was doubting herself, doubting whether or not she could be enough for him, but he didn't need this part of their relationship. She was already enough, this part was a bonus. He kicked off his jeans and reached over her into the nightstand for a condom. He slid it on faster than he had ever slid one on. He wanted her.

The tip of his penis was at her entrance. "You with me Tai?" She smiled at him.

"With you playboy." He laughed as he slid into her.

"You know that is growing on me my sweet Tai." She laughed and he reacted by placing a hand on her stomach. Her laughter stopped and her gaze became heated with passion. "Love your laugh but not when I'm inside of you trying not to burst too soon." She nodded and her gaze became hooded with both love and lust as he began a slow but steady pace inside of her.

She was tight but it felt so good as his cock moved inside of her each thrust in and out stretching her body so she could take him deeper and deeper. As the pace moved from slow and steady to just steady he could hear her breathing pick up as her hands clawed at his back and her legs wrapped around his hips pulling him closer. He let more of his weight fall onto her getting close enough to kiss her. Her tongue met his half way as their mouths collided with each other. Her hands clawing at his back the moans escaping her lips as they continued their kiss caused his rhythm to change again. To a fast pace, one that could be considered punishing. She broke their kiss panting heavily as she locked her ankles to hold him against her tighter. Her hips now matching his pace as they made love for the first time.

Her breathing was getting out of control and the sweat was forming on his skin and hers he was close and he knew she was too. He reached a hand in between them as he kept up his fast paced rhythm into her body. He trailed one finger then two over her clit making light circular motions. She closed her eyes again, but this time he wasn't concerned. He knew she was trying to control her body. "Let go Tai." And his words were her undoing, he felt her whole body shudder and even though he had a condom on he could feel the warmth from her orgasm. And it was all he needed to follow only seconds after her.

He collapsed on her carefully not wanting to crush her with his weight and her arms came to stop from clawing at his back to just resting on him. He felt her legs unlock from around him but she didn't make a move to disconnect them. He was placing light feathery kisses against her shoulder when her hands came up his back and wrapped around his neck. "Thank you Raiden."

He turned his head slightly so he could look at her, "for what Tai?" He hadn't done anything.

"You promised to take care of me and you did. I have never felt so cherished." He placed a light kiss on her cheek and then her lips. Lifting his weight off her so he could stare into her eyes.

"You deserve nothing less than to be cherished Tai. Jordan should've treated you like a princess and he failed. Now I'm going to show you how you were always meant to be treated." He watched her breath hitch at his words and her eyes glistened with tears. "Sleep in here again tonight Tai." He requested as he finally disconnected them and got up to take care of the condom.

"You weren't getting rid of me tonight playboy." They both laughed.

He crawled back into his bed pulling the covers over them. She settled on her side facing him and he made sure to do the same. He pulled her against his chest he wanted her to fall asleep like she had last night.

"Tell me about your mom Raiden." She requested quietly. He ran his hand down her back and nodded.
