Steal Your Heart: This Realm Called Earth, #1.5

By Marie Krepps

Charisse is stealing her way to a better life after being homeless for the last five years. Yet, even with an apartment and a potential job lined up, she is still considering joining her friend's gang. They offer protection and family; something she desperately desires.

Joey Ice has managed to keep his identity as a half-selkie secret from his friends and co-workers for years. With a loving family and good friends supporting him, his life is simple and care-free, though perhaps a bit lonely.

When Joey and Charisse meet at a party, neither realize that their mutual attraction will soon change their fates.

Marie Krepps

A mother of four, I live in small town North Carolina and I enjoy writing adult novels of varying fiction genres. Music is a huge part of my life. It truly inspires me to write and there is always a song in my head and in my heart. Dreams also influence my work tremendously. If I'm not writing an exciting story, I am certainly reading one. I like to escape in books to worlds beyond reality, and create my own worlds as well. I'm a serious movie buff and I love a good fantasy, horror or sci-fi film. In my spare time, I love watching anime, sewing costumes, gaming, and taking pictures.
