Excerpt
“You’re focusing on the wrong things here,” Kit said.

“What should I be focusing on?” I asked.

“The people who want you dead.”

“Does that include you?”

She grinned at me, her white teeth gleaming.

Bella's father makes a bargain...his life-long servitude for the chance to give the jewel to his daughter.

After hearing the tale...Bella's siblings demand that Bella pay the price instead.

Ten Fabulously Fun Things About Sarah~

10) I’ve been teaching kindergarten for ten years. People think that’s either the most delightful or the most horrifying career. They’re right.

9) For at least a year I’ve been a devotee of British television. If the series features a timelord, midwives, a sociopathic detective, or hoity toity upperclass households, I’m in.

8) Accents are my specialty. English, Scottish, redneck…I’ll whip out anything at any given moment. People who respond to my random accents inrandom accents win my heart immediately.

7) I’m a fangirl. I try to keeps it under wraps, but I get a little excited about hobbits, superheroes, and underage wizards. It’s slightly embarrassing. But yes, I bought the tee-shirts.

6) I’m single and I bake. Let me clarify: I bake very well. Somewhere out there, my soulmate is probably living on ramen noodles while I’m thriving in the delicious land of cookies.

5) Because I have five brothers, my entire life has been a man sandwich. I know entirely too much about bodily functions and weird smells. Seriously.

4) Laughter really is the best medicine. However, my laughter—a combo of snorting, blasts, and shrieking—actually frightens small children and animals.

3) I dream of being kidnapped by the Doctor and taken to see the universe. I’m always waiting for the telltale sound of the TARDIS.

2) At the age of 12, I broke my wrist roller skating. It didn’t stop me. A pair of 80’s style skates live in the trunk of my car, because you just never know.

1) Since my girlhood I have loved escaping into books. I feel like something is missing in my life when I don’t have the chance to disappear into other people’s worlds each day. Creating one of my own is an extension of my lifelong passion for literature.

But the chameleon branded Evie with his own mark setting her up to be framed for the murders and masks stealing going on.
