~Summary~
Everyone has a past, but for most it isn’t as long ago as Seth Sangre. His past is literally thousands of years ago. Seth’s life led him to the present seeking something that might help him save his country from destruction. He has been in the present for over three years now and just found exactly what he has been looking for.
Mari had dreams that college will be a fresh start, one where she would start over and not fall for the good looking player like high school. Unfortunately for her, that’s exactly what ends up falling into her lap on the first day she moves into the dorms. Now she has to hold to her promise to herself and not fall for the handsome Seth. But he doesn’t plan to make it easy for her. Seth has already marked her as his next conquest. As the semester progresses, Mari learns that Seth might just have a life of his own that’s actually from the past. Suddenly Mari finds her future along with her past put into question. She’s connected to Seth far more than she ever wanted to be and maybe the player isn’t who she thought he was. If Mari can trust her heart enough to follow him, Seth will lead Mari on an adventure of a lifetime and reveal family secrets she never knew existed

~Excerpt~
I
closed my book and looked up from under the maple canopy to the blue sky above.
I had a normal life, but girls in books always went on adventures. I guess that
was what going far off to college was to me, an adventure. My future was
already planned, but I’d give anything to be one of those heroines. I wanted to
live the life I found in these books. I was still lost in thought over the
ending when there was a thump on my lap. College students were walking all
around and a few tossing a football between them. I looked down expecting to
see a football.
It wasn’t a football. The
head of a perfectly cute guy was lying across my lap. He had tipped over from
sleeping next to me and stayed fast asleep, even after his fall. I looked at
him and waited for him to wake. I mean, his fall startled me out of my
daydreaming. He didn’t wake. He kept sleeping peacefully.
