Raising Cain by Kelli Ireland Giveaway & Excerpt

Raising Cain Synopsis:

Hiding places are scarce when both Heaven and Hell intend to find you.

Dani Fayel’s backbreaking job as a stable hand at The Freaks’ Fair isn’t glamorous, but for someone looking to keep to the shadows? It’s perfect. Neither paranormal freaks nor human norms ever notice her. But when Dani is forced to either let a child die in order to maintain her anonymity or choose to save him and risk being discovered, she finds herself unwillingly thrust into the spotlight.

Cain, Hell’s premier assassin and a predatory incubus, is close to fulfilling his final contract and earning his freedom. Hired by the Archangel of Death to find his daughter, Cain follows her trail to the Fair. He works undercover, certain his mark is inside one of the portable canopies or traveling cages. Dead or alive, she equals his ticket to freedom.

When Cain’s objective is divulged, Dani realizes she can’t outrun her destiny. As the fabled Key—the one soul with absolute free will who is tied to the three realms of Heaven, Earth and Hell—only she is capable of opening the gates for the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Whoever frees the Horsemen allegedly commands them. Now both Heaven and Hell are vying for her allegiance, and there are no limits as to how dirty they’ll fight to obtain it. With Hell raining indiscriminate chaos as Heaven maneuvers its players around her, Dani realizes her would-be assassin may be the only man capable of helping her survive.

Excerpt:

Time condensed for me into the sound of my heart thundering through my head, the smell of Cain’s sweat, and even the number of breaths we took in tandem. The second hand on my watch seemed to coast to a stop and we understood on a primal level that we’d somehow survived each other in this initial confrontation. Cain let me go but planted his fists on the cement pillar, effectively corralling me with his arms. He looked down at me at the same time I looked up.

He bent toward me, seemingly conscious of time’s indifference, his breath hot on my lips. I closed my eyes in anticipation and fear, while nerves and butterflies warred for dominance in my stomach. I had no idea butterflies were so tough, but they held their own.
