Burdened (Burdened #1)
by Peiri
Ann
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Tracey Warren has everything an
eighteen year old girl should. She lives a life of expectancies; go to school,
please her parents, party with friends, and revel in life as a young adult.
That is until she experiences an
unexpected life changing accident caused by Nathan Newcomb; an illegally attractive
yet perplexed guy who has her fumbling over her words and cracking her head on
the concrete. In being enthralled by his overwhelming existence, Tracey
neglects his promise of death (which never falls short of Nathan) and in
ignoring his guarantee, she chooses to give into love over sanity and risks her
life for the opportunity of being with him.
Nathan, knowing the risks gives
into this want to have Tracey presuming it may be better to jeopardize their
possible ending, than to allow her to endure the pain of his devoid.
Nonetheless, with him being a burdened Sephlem, not only are they burdened by
their adversaries who will risk everything but the exposure of their existence
to see Nathan fall. But Nathan and Tracey come to find that their most sinister
enemies lie under their same roof and regrettably share the same bloodline.
A love for reading transpired into an admiration for writing at a young age for Peiri Ann. Starting off in writing poetry and short stories she indulged in the possibilities of creating new worlds and lives to live within them opening a window of unanticipated possibilities. In high school a pin and notebook never left her grasps and in college the pin was replaced by a keyboard and the notebook replaced by a computer screen. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and certified in business management.
When Peiri Ann is not writing, reading, doing homework, or working in the downtown of Chicago she enjoys spending time with her little girl, watching action flicks, and spooning peanut butter from the jar as a midnight snack.

I wake up on a bed, in what seems to be the nurse’s
office. It smells of rubbing alcohol and those blue, hockey puck-looking
tablets that are thrown in the toilet and turn the water blue. It doesn’t
stink, but it is not helping my headache any, either. My ass hurts and my head
is pounding.
Pushing myself to sit up, the room begins to spin.
It adds a nauseous feeling to my problems. Moving with more precaution, I
slowly reach for my head. Stopping when I see a figure moving in my peripheral
vision.
I want to look, but out of fear of what I might
see, I will not, because if it’s him—the hot guy that hit me in the parking
lot—and I barf, this situation could get a whole lot more embarrassing.
Without turning my head, I peek out of the corners
of my eyes.
There they are—those masculine, broad shoulders
even a concussion cannot make you forget. Clearly!
Wait—is he sleeping? His shoulders are moving
steadily and calm. He can’t be just staring at me and not saying anything. I
question turning my head, not only because I don’t want him to see me look at
him, but also because I fear my worsening headache.
Unable to not look, I turn my head, taking less
than a second. Maybe even a millisecond.
“What are you doing?” Busted! “Practicing for the
exorcist?” he retorts sarcastically.
I’m caught. What type of an excuse can I use for
this? Trying not to turn my head fast to look at you, in case you were looking
at me. NO!
“Um, I was, um, trying to…stretch…my…neck slowly…to
avoid, making my head hurt worse,” I say stupidly, taking one word at a time,
just to implicate I was saying each word as it came into my head.
He gets up from the chair and walks in my
direction.
That walk. He seems to sway across the floor, his shoulders
moving with each step. Left foot, right shoulder, right foot, left shoulder. I
quickly peek at him, hoping he doesn’t see. I notice that he doesn’t slouch and
his jaw is tight.
I look away as he gets closer. I have no idea what
he is going to do or say. I do know he’s close and I want him to touch me
again. As long as I don’t pass out…again.
His hands are in his pockets as he approaches the
bedside. “Would you like to go get some ibuprofen for your head?” he asks,
bending over, looking at my forehead. Well, I assume he’s looking at my
forehead. “The nurse is still here, and she has been waiting for you to come
to.” Hands still in his pockets. “You
feeling okay?”
I must be looking foolishly, because he said that
as if it was the second time he’d asked me. “Umm, yeah, I think so.”
“Okay, let’s go see what the nurse has for you.
Maybe she can do something about your headache.” With his hands still in his
pockets, he offers me his arm to grab.
