Teaser: Excerpt

A violent clap of thunder burst through the night sky, and Celeste shot up in her bed and screamed. The shrill cry echoed through the quiet house. Her heart raced as she looked out the bay window as a brilliant flash of lightning lit up the black sky. Movement at the foot of her bed turned her attention away from the window, and she froze, panicked. She heard a muffled whimper and a sniffling cold nose tickle her feet. She giggled. Relieved, she scooped up her new puppy and held him close to her thundering chest. Slowly, her breathing returned to a more normal rate.
     Suddenly, Celeste’s bedroom door swung open and her mother raced in, her long brunette curls a tangled mess.
     “Celeste, sweetie, are you all right? I heard you scream and came as fast as I could.” Her warm caramel colored eyes were fraught with concern for her young daughter.
     Celeste nodded silently, not taking her eyes off the storm that surged outside of her window. And that’s when the deafening sound of an approaching police siren pierced the rainy night.
     There was a loud banging at the door and Celeste’s eyes shot to her mother’s nervous ones. “Stay here,” she told her and sped down the stairs, grabbing her pink fleece bathrobe on the way down.
     Celeste slipped out of bed and cradling her puppy tiptoed to the top of the staircase.
     “Are you Olivia Wilder?” asked the police officer, his face grim and his tone professional.
     “Yes I am,” she answered, a slight tremble in her voice.
     “I’m sorry to disturb you at this time of night Ma’am, but I’m afraid there’s been an accident. It’s your husband…”

About the Author

G.K. De Rosa has been an avid reader from a very young age. In fact, before she could even read, she tried fooling everyone into thinking that she could. At the precocious age of two, while living in Italy, she had memorized an entire children’s book in Italian and expertly turned the pages at the exact right moments of the story.

As she grew up, she always enjoyed literature, no doubt having been instilled with a love of story telling from her early years in Catholic school where she was greatly influenced by exemplary teachers who taught her the value of English and Literature.

Though she did not pursue writing in college and instead went for the more traditional route of International Business inspired by her love for travel and all things foreign, after a move to New York City, she found her creative writing side calling once again.

She began writing a restaurant review blog, City Lights and Tasty Bites, detailing her other passion – food! The hectic hustle and bustle of the city, combined with long commuting times gave her the opportunity to spend more time reading and rekindled a lost love.

After reading countless books in many diverse Young Adult Paranormal Romances over the two years in New York City, and returning to her home state of Florida, she felt compelled to write something for herself. She had always felt particularly drawn to Young Adult novels and having been an eternal romantic at heart, a fantasy romance was a natural choice.

She currently lives in South Florida with her real life Prince Charming and their fur baby, Nico the German Shepherd.
