Life isn’t exactly normal for Eva Parker: the stronger Eva’s emotions, the faster nearby electrical devices die. Eva can’t have a cell phone, use a computer, or be in a car for more than a few minutes without killing it. Dealing with her electricity-killing curse makes living in modern-day Los Angeles complicated enough for Eva—and that was before she was blackmailed into hiding a stolen baby elephant and partnered with Hudson, a sexy electrical engineer Eva just met.
Dodging repeated attempts on her life made by ruthless corporations hunting the elephant is easier for Eva than quelling her growing affection for Hudson, and while protecting an elephant is hard, controlling her curse is a lot harder. However, Eva must do both, because if she lets her emotions free and falls in love with Hudson, neither of them will survive.

Enchanting and quirky, TINY GLITCHES fuses electrifying romance and high-voltage suspense in a rollicking adventure.
EXCERPT
The trailer rocked, the heavy metal frame groaning in protest. The trailer wasn’t
wide, and before the baby elephant could stampede more than four steps, it
mashed against me, pinning me to the wall. I scrunched my toes in my open
sandals and braced for a mauling. The elephant flapped her ears and the hem of
my skirt fluttered. My eyes popped open.
“Good elephant, you
don’t want to hurt me,” I said, wriggling to the side. “Please don’t eat me.”
“I think elephants
are vegetarians,” Hudson said, coming into view at the open back of the
trailer. He stepped inside and pulled the door shut behind him.
“It looks hungry.
Maybe it’s starved beyond reason. And look at those feet. It could cripple me
with a single step. Oh God, what are you doing?”
The elephant
snuffled me with her trunk. I backed up as far as my handcuffed wrist would
allow. She followed. The moist tip of the trunk prodded my knee below the line
of my skirt and beelined for third base. Dirty sandpaper skin scraped up my
naked thigh.
“No! No, no, no,
no. Bad elephant!” I twisted and thrust my butt away from the elephant, the tendons
in my shackled arm radiating fiery pain from my bruised wrist to my shoulder.
Doubled over as I was, if the wild elephant charged, she’d slam into my solar
plexus and rip my arm clean off.
The elephant’s
trunk reversed direction and constricted around my ankle. I squeaked. Bright
brown eyes lifted to my face. The trunk tip released me to molest the straps of
my sandals. I shimmied to the side, easing the pressure on my arm.
“That’s a good
elephant. Keep your trunk to yourself and I’ll—eep!”
The elephant swung
her head to look at Hudson, pivoting on a back foot, rocking the trailer. It
took me a moment to recognize the incongruous sound.
“You’re laughing?
Now?” With my ass in the air and my body contorted painfully around an
unpredictable killing machine, he had the audacity to laugh? Shooting Hudson a
glare, I squeezed between the elephant and the wall of the trailer and
straightened, sidling closer to the bar I was handcuffed to. The man had great
crow’s-feet when he grinned, the bastard.
