Blog Tour & Excerpt for Given To You by Carlie Sexton
To give is a virtue.
But to give your very self, the ultimate bequest. Offered in love, it can be
wondrous. Offered in desperation, it can be deadly.
In Book Two of this three-part epic, young and tempting Kate
Simmons at last seems to reach a safe haven of happiness when she moves in with
Neil, ambitious and persevering both in his legal practice and his love life.
Taking great care to protect his trophy and the surprise he has in mind for
Kate, Neil hires security to accompany his soon-to-be fiancé on a scavenger
hunt of a lifetime. And it is life, itself, that is in the balance when Kate
becomes the hunted as the jilted Roger snatches his prey.
The obsessed minds of Neil and Roger now take aim squarely
at each other — with a bare and exposed Kate directly in the crossfire. Knowing
her very life will be the winner’s spoil, Kate stares agony in its ghastly face
as it approaches for the death dance.
There is no time, no place, no safety in a war of fixation.
A war in which the winner will be either the last one standing, or the last one
to die.
Excerpt Part 15 :
In his fury, he grabbed her by the throat, pushed her
against the wall and lifted her off the ground. She searched his eyes, hoping
to see a glimpse of humanity, but only saw a dark abyss. Why hadn’t she noticed
this before? This is what a killer looked like. His soul was dead, so he had no
qualms about taking the life of another human being. He would give no thought
to killing her.
“I thought we had an understanding,” he said,
squeezing her throat tightly. “Look what you are making me do? Damn it, Kate. I
have plans for us. Why can’t you understand that?”
He loosened his grip and Kate fell to the floor,
gasping for air. She was on her hands and knees before him.
“I...I’m…I’m so sorry, Roger. I don’t know what got
into me. You’re right,” she said. “We belong together. I see that now. Please
take me to the cabin. I want us to be alone.”
Her only hope was that she sounded sincere and that he
believed her. She didn’t want to die on the filthy bathroom floor.
Kate began to stand up and he grabbed a hold of her,
pulling her body close to his. Roger’s hands glided down her back, finding her
ass and she could feel his desire for her straining in his pants. He looked her
in the eyes and said, “Prove to me that you want me.”
