Now and Then — Willa Okati

Now and Then:

Love's a complicated affair when finding your soulmarked mate is only the first step. Winning their hearts and hands, and keeping them -- now that's the challenge. The one who has the most power over your heart is the one who can love you the best, but can also hurt you the most. Even when passion rules the world, the road to a man's heart never did run smooth.

When the stakes are this high, can those who were made for one another find a way to break down the walls and beat the odds that stand between them?

Now and Then by Willa Okati

Book One in the Soulmarked series



Robbie and Ivan wrought havoc on their first chance at love. Can they mend their fences and find their passion the second time around?



Soulmarked as mates, Robbie and Ivan come from different worlds. Robbie's the oldest son in a long line of outlaws who live squarely on the wrong side of the tracks, and Ivan's family tree is packed with law enforcement. That didn't stop them from falling in love, but when they risked tearing each other apart, they cared enough to let go and hope they'd find a better life.

Years later, the strength of their soulbond still burns bright when chance brings Robbie and Ivan together at the football game of the year. The passion they felt for one another is as powerful as ever, bringing them into explosive contact. They're not the boys they used to be -- Robbie's turned his life around and raised his younger brothers to be good men, and Ivan's learned to stand tall and mix justice with compassion. But though they want to hope they can be happy now, not everything has changed. Maybe not enough has changed.

Or has it, after all?

It's up to Robbie and Ivan, now. Only they can make the choice that will change their lives forever.

About the Author:

Willa Okati can most often be found muttering to herself over a keyboard, plugged into her iPod and breaking between paragraphs to play air drums. In her spare time (the odd ten minutes or so per day she's not writing) she's teaching herself to play the pennywhistle.

Willa has forty-plus separate tattoos and yearns for a full body suit of ink. She walks around in a haze of story ideas, dreaming of tales yet to be told. She drinks an alarming amount of coffee for someone generally perceived to be mellow.
