Book Description:
The world has broken out in wars.
Las Vegas has been ravaged by chemical warfare and is now home to several clans
and creatures.
Welcome to I-D-8 Entertainment’s
newest game: Clans of Vegas—Endless Night.
Friends and family have gathered
for a crunch time playtest of C.O.V.E.N.. When a horrible thunderstorm hits,
everyone’s sucked into the game for real. In the MMORPG, Hope Collins is
kidnapped by Buzz and forced to submit to his whims.
Her boyfriend, Alden, has to
delay his quest of defeating a clan’s prince to save her, but time and
circumstance don’t seem to be on his side. Faith Collins is bombarded by
strange dreams brought on by Buzz. Her boyfriend, Tavis, learns to dream walk,
but can he help break the spell she’s under and save her before she’s lost to
him?
C.O.V.E.N. is more than just a
game. It’s a whole other world.

Excerpt:
Perhaps he’d
been under too much stress, had too much caffeine, didn’t have enough sleep or
information about the guy. More likely a combination of it all. A hodgepodge of
shit and no shovel. He didn’t know how much more of all this he could take.
Shaking off the
negativity, Alden rotated his head, listening to his spine crackle and pop.
Tension released. The quick adjustment perked him up. He plated the burgers,
closed the lid to the grill and exhaled a deep breath. First food, then work,
and amongst it all, see if I can figure out Mr. Jenkins’s deal. Making his way
toward the small group, the tray of hot meat balanced on one hand, he focused
in on Cor, noting his body language and how the people around him responded.
Why did I
imagine him as the antagonist? The one in the game I need to destroy?
The storyline he
had to double check during the playtest dealt with finding the main boss—the
Prince of Clan Caesachapel—and defeating him before the cad could cause harm.
He’d intended to assist Hope and her family in creating ‘good’ characters,
placing them in the clan he belonged to, and have them run the quests, as well.
But with the way he’d been feeling, he almost reconsidered that idea.
Thing was he had
a job to do. One he aimed to make good on and see through to the end. He’d
never been the kind of guy to shirk a duty, and he wasn’t about to start now.
Mr. James
Collins, a middle-aged man with graying, strawberry blond hair and ice blue
eyes, glanced Den’s way as he approached. James acknowledged him with slight
nod, then returned his attention to Cor.
The fact James
was only a programmer and not his direct boss—or above him in any authoritative
capacity in the organization—pleased Den. The man sure ran hot one moment and
cold the next when it came to him. Hope had explained that was one of her
father’s personality quirks and not to take it personal.
Some future
father-in-law he would turn out to be.
Plastering a
smile on his face, he placed the dish of meat on the aluminum table. James and
the ladies’ attentions stayed fixed on the gentleman in their midst. Good. No
one paid him any mind. More time to assess the situation.
Cor’s intense
brown-eyed gaze bored into Hope’s, infiltrating her defenses and working
whatever magic the man seemed to possess. Their connection resembled flirting
but in a stronger sense. His chest tightened and burned. Mine, his inner voice
asserted in a low, rolling growl, reminding him of his in game character’s
speech. Alden stepped back before he could choose to put his fist in Cor’s
face. His foot crunched on a chip bag that had fallen to the ground.
Hope didn’t
flinch, didn’t look away.
Mesmerized.
Shit. And not just her. Enthralled by the bean counter, the whole family
overlooked him like he didn’t exist.
What the h*ll is
going on?
