OR HONOR

an Egyptologist and demi-god in waiting, is the key to unlocking Bakari, the
Egyptian God of Death, from his cursed slumber. Desperate to free him, she

To save Bakari from himself, she may have to sacrifice her innocence, and
possibly her soul, before he becomes his family’s worst enemy.

his soul to hers. In the wake of his self-destruction Kendra is his only hope
of salvation, but another has vowed to keep Bakari from the one thing he craves

EXCERPT
OF SOUL AWAKENED
Kendra
commanded herself to march straight out the door. Enough of this bleeding heart
stuff. If only she could take that next step toward freedom. She sighed
heavily. Who was she fooling? She wasn’t going anywhere other than straight to
his bed. Heck, she had bled, almost died, and ran naked into his frigid
subconscious in less than twenty-four hours of knowing him.
She had
no sense of self-preservation.
Bakari
lay in the center of the enormous bed. The size of two kings put together. She
couldn’t very well assess him from her vantage point. Climbing in bed with him
uninvited caused her heart to flutter. What if Bomani walked in? How would she
explain this?
Irritated
with her thoughts, she stepped on the sideboard and hoisted herself on the
thick plush mattress. The bed barely moved or compressed under her dainty
weight. She didn’t want to wake him or least that was the plan.
Check
on him and go. Yep.
Thankfully,
he didn’t move as she crept closer on her hands and knees. His body contracted
tighter and he shook his head against the covers. Maybe she could break the
nightmare with a light touch. It seemed to lessen his pain before in his cell.
With
her weight on her right hand and knees, she reached out and gently brushed his
damp black hair out of his face. Surprisingly, it was soft and shiny now and
all the white had faded. He must have washed it sometime before she arrived.
She
moved her knees forward and sat back on her heels with her hands on her thighs.
Too scared before to take in his features, she measured his face in an unrushed
appreciation. His cheeks had filled out from last night. The muscles in his jaw
twitched, as he clenched and unclenched his teeth in his sleep. His skin had
warmed to an olive tone. Not bad for what little food he had eaten.
She
traced the angle of his cheekbone to his full jaw with her fingertip. He had
Asar’s facial structure. Her finger stopped at his chin. She mentally traced
the line of his mouth. His lips were perfect in size and shape. She pressed her
lips together and wet them with her tongue.
Startled,
she snapped her gaze away. Why the heck was she wondering what it would be like
to kiss him? She had really lost her marbles. A virgin, but not a saint? Bad girl, she scolded herself. Now as
she looked at herself kneeling uninvited on a man’s bed while he slept, it
seemed even dirtier. She needed to have her head examined.
Holding
her breath, she placed her palms on the mattress and pushed away toward the
edge of the bed. She was getting the heck out of here. Her toes breached the
outer seam.
A low
growl preceded large hands clamping on her shoulders and flipping her in the
air. The ceiling and black silk sheets flashed in her field of view before her
back found the mattress and her head flopped into the pillow. She yelped as
Bakari’s hard male body pressed her firmly into the padding. In one hand he
pinned her wrists above her head. Despite being severely underweight, his torso
and pelvis heavily restrained her.
“Did
you see something you did not like, Parvana?”

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
In
her pursuit of a nursing degree, Jean Murray aspired to see the world and
joined the Navy. At the end of 2011 she said a heart-breaking goodbye to her
Navy family and retired after twenty years of military service. Although her
dreams of writing full time have yet to come true, she continues her writing
journey and draws inspiration from her travels abroad. She enjoys spending time
with her family and of course, writing about the “Carrigan sisters and their
mates, Gods of the Underworld,” to bring you the next installment of the Key to
the Cursed series.
Take a couple of newly weds, add a couple of secrets, travel, a bit of chanting and a couple of ghosts, and you have He's Married. 
Sleep is a waste of writing time, Maggie believes, unless one could create in the world of dreams.
