Tormented Soul

by eileentroemel, posted in Book Tour

Soul Series novella

by Cindy Pike

Dejected. Torn down. Wrecked.

With my mask firmly in place for anyone on the outside looking in, I go through my life hiding the ugly truth.

Hiding my pain. Never fully being me. Steven, my husband, won’t allow for flaws or mistakes. When our son Zander came into the world things were better. For a while. Then the verbal abuse started up again. His physical abuse quickly followed. That’s when I decided to get out. But doing so with a child takes time and planning.

My friends both old and new, help me find the courage to find my voice and stand up for myself and my son. I just don’t know if I can rebuild myself from the shambles that I’ve become.

I hope I can find a way out from under the anguish my husband has inflicted on me so my son and I can live our best life and move on. Will that include the detective who’s helping me, his twin, and their lifelong friend? I guess I’ll find out.

Author Bio

How to start? Hi, I’m Cindy! I live in Arizona with my wonderful husband, three kids (that I love but sometimes want to give back lol) and cat. I’ve always written stories throughout my life, wishing I could be a published author one day. They say the hardest step is starting, I disagree. For me the hardest step to becoming a published author is believing in myself, and having the courage to follow through.

 I’m an oddball that likes all sorts of things, from singing (I’m not the best, but also not the worst), to the physiology of animals, I love the human mind and am fascinated by how it works. I want to know what motivates people to do the things they do, and why. I can be girly and love doing hair and make up for myself and friends/family (other times I can’t be bothered). I’ve recently taken up henna body art (check out my Instagram to see how bad I am @restlessol) and it helps me zone out and turn off my brain from the thousand and ten things zipping about it. The flip side of those things are I love to camp and am not afraid to get dirty (most bugs don’t freak me out) and love working with horses.

 Being a wife and mother to three rambunctious boys, my life is crazy and often I am known to get between four to six hours of sleep depending on if my baby or book characters decide to keep me up until I get their story down in my computer. Seriously, this is a real thing ask any author, (all the ones I know say the same, not that I know many) they don’t leave us alone (I swear I’m of sound mind, mostly) until their story is told.

 What else? I wish I were funnier but it’s just not in the cards for me (much to my disappointment), so to compensate I surround myself with others that make me laugh, constantly. That’s about it! Thanks for taking the time to at least have selected my book(s) in interest (any interest is good, right?) even if they aren’t for you.

Alone. Tattered. Beaten.
I thought my life ended years ago, when my college boyfriend took something I was never willing to give. A piece of myself I’ll never get back.
I thought I was broken, jaded, and incapable of love.
That all changed when Levi Atticus walks into my life.
He’s everything I never knew I needed, and he doesn’t see me as a crime statistic or a victim. One glance into his eyes, and all of my fear and self-doubt are stripped away.
But how long will he be willing to put up with my baggage? How much can he take until he decides that he can’t love a broken, damaged girl? Will he walk away from me?
Sometimes, I wonder if he’ll be the one capable of stitching up my torn soul.
And other times, I wonder if I’ll need to do that myself.
Will I be able to overcome my trauma and cling to this love I found? Or will my past continue to haunt me and ruin the best thing I ever had?

#Protector

Years ago he tried to break me.
Now, five men are piecing together the shattered pieces of my soul.
When I’m brutally attacked and find myself in the hospital, old memories are unburied. Memories of pain, torture, and an agony I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
I thought I’d finally begun to heal from my past trauma, but I didn’t know what healing was until I met them. The five protective men who infiltrated my life and dissipated the darkness of my past.
Flynn, the EMT who saved my life. His smile alone is capable of eddying a room with light.
Heath, the retired MMA fighter who owns a gym aimed to help abused women like myself. He makes me feel safe and protected, as if nothing can harm me when I’m in his presence.
Owen, the compassionate doctor who fixed me up and gave me a home. He’s the unofficial leader of the group…and he won’t let you forget it.
Kyle, the skilled, ex-army sniper who can’t decide what to do with me but desires me just as fiercely as I do him. And finally,
Silas, the gruff, bossy asshole who makes my heart flutter with just a single word.
The five of them saw something in me—something worth saving—and I’ll be damned if I don’t repay their generosity.
But when my past comes knocking on my door, will I be strong enough to fight back and save myself and the men I’m growing to love? Or will my soul remain broken?

This is the complete edition of Nora’s journey with added BONUS content!

The Ring of Twelve – Aries

The Ring of Twelve Series book 1

by Bestselling Author Brian McCord

When gamer Aubrey Anastassia answers an ad in a small newspaper, a greed for the bloodlust in video games spills over into real life, fulfilling his passion for hunting human game. All he needs is five kills to qualify for the Game, then along comes Marian. Will her love be enough to redeem his soul? Or will he be condemned to wander through life asking, “what if?”

Excerpt

He had been the sniper for his platoon, providing ground support as they advanced in their mission to re-take and hold the city.  From his eagle-eye point of view, he could see up and down the street where two-by-two troops were going door-to-door checking for insurgents when a woman came toward them with a child in tow.  Both raised their hands, but something seemed a bit off to him.  Neither the woman nor the child walked with a normal gait as if something was preventing a natural stride.  He put the scope on them and could see bulges on their bodies where there shouldn’t be any, and he was convinced they were unwilling suicide bombers sent by insurgents to kill and maim US and Coalition troops.  His captain was shouting in their native language, commanding them to stop, but they kept walking forward, shaking their heads.  The woman’s hand moved to the right, but the child froze.  They were six meters – about 20 feet – away when he took the shot.  The woman, then the girl, dropped dead where they stood.
