Carnelian (Giveaway Included!!!)

Description Provided by Goodreads: 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 know for some reason you won’t believe me, but I’m completely serious about you, Mari,” Seth

began. “If my only way into your life at this point is as your friend, then that’s what I’ll be, but just know that what I really want is more than that. I’ve been searching for years for you.”

“You don’t even know me,” I retorted, trying my best to move the conversation to something else.

“I know all I need to know about you. You are the girl I’ve been searching for. Now I just need to

convince you that maybe, just maybe, I’m the guy for you.” Seth grinned like he was accepting the

challenge. “Just know that I’m not giving up on you.” And before I could reply, he leaned down and kissed my forehead before turning and strolling away, leaving me speechless before the open doorway.

I marched into my room and slammed the door. Seth Sangre was good. I could still feel the tingles

from where he had kissed me. Heck, I could still feel his hands around my waist as he caught me from

falling. He was such a puzzle to me now. He’d been nothing but a gentleman all night. In fact, he only

kissed me on the forehead when I was standing there shocked, even though he could have kissed me on

the lips. I probably wouldn’t have even pushed him away if he had tried. He was a riddle to me, filled

with secrets, yet when he said he would protect me, I knew he was telling the truth. Most players I’d

known in high school would never go that far for a girl, even just to impress them. Seth was turning out

to not be the person I thought he was, but even so, there was no way to be sure. If I said yes and went

out with him, and he turned out to just be the normal, player jerk, I’d be the one with a broken heart.
