Sneak Peek Sunday!

It's Sunday and time for the Sneak Peek Sunday mini hop! The deal is to post 6 paragraphs from a writing project, published or unpublished.  I'm offering a bit from Enchanted Skye.

Setting the scene: 
Alex feels strangely drawn to the inn's new American guest. Unfortunately, Jenna is avoiding him. Well, they didn't exactly get off to a good start the night before and one thing led to another...

My Six:

Alex lay upon his bed staring at the ceiling, his acute senses entangled in Jenna’s presence. From the scent of her on his pillow and sheets, to the tell-tale sounds signaling her nap was over, he was experiencing her. That was the way of his wild Selkie blood — sensorial perspicacity. Simply put, he felt her. Watching her that morning as she interacted with his family, it was obvious she wanted nothing to do with him but didn’t mind the others. She laughed at their jokes and contributed to the conversation now and again. Nothing much overall, but it was clear what was said came from an intelligent mind. He never took his eyes from her in the hopes she’d look his way and smile like she did for his siblings. It was hell that she refused to look his way, and it pained him that he wasn’t able to draw more than her strained polite smile.

He pushed the disquieting thought away. Picturing her in his arms instead, he chose to remember her warm kisses of the night before over the cold hard truth. There was no mistaking that her eyes said come hither when she lay back upon his bed. She’d wanted him. His keen senses detected desire on her. Surely that wasn’t only the scotch speaking. A blur of blue and green caught his eye as it dashed past his doorway. He caught up with her at the staircase.

“Jenna?”

She froze.

That she didn’t turn gave Alex a pang. Was she determined to shun him again? He fought a wave a glamor tingling over his skin. All Selkies possessed the ability to cast illusion. It was as useful and essential to survival as any other creature’s camouflage, but it wasn’t something he used with any regularity. He didn’t need to alter his features. In this day and age, his family lived in the open and even peppered their neighborly conversations with facts of streamlined bodies slicing through waves and sunning on the rocks. Everyone just accepted their truths as fun and folklore. In a way, the truth was their glamor.

She held her coat and bag and in that moment he knew if she walked out the door, he’d lose her. Lose her? Where had that panicked thought had come from? He barely knew her. The realization choked him nonetheless. He cleared his throat but emotion broadened his Scots. “Ye’re leaving?”

Sneak Peek Sunday!

It's Sunday and time for the  Sneak Peek Sunday mini hop! The deal is to post 6 paragraphs from a writing project, published or unpublished. Today, I'm offering a another snippet from Enchanted Skye ~ A contemporary love story inspired by one real Scottish family's oral tradition. They're selkie.

Setting the scene: Alex is feeling strange and the inn's new American guest is avoiding him. Well, they didn't exactly get off to a good start the night before.

Sneak Peek Sunday

It's Sunday, I'm participating in the Sneak Peek Sunday mini hop! The deal is to post 6 paragraphs from a writing project, published or unpublished. This time I'm offering another bit from Enchanted Skye.



Setting the scene:Bea, Gavin, and Lachlan discuss their brother Alex's unusual behavior around Jenna, the young American woman staying at their inn. Jenna had recently scattered her grandmother's ashes in the sea as Alexwatched nearby. When her tears fell into the water, they unleashed an unbreakable charm upon the transformed Selkie. Here the sibling piece it all together.

“The legend, Gavin. The Legend of the Seven Tears...” Bea said.

“No.” Gavin’s shoulders dropped. That kind of charmed longing would eat Alex alive if Jenna didn’t return the sentiment. “But you’re right! It’s happening now. I’ve never seen him like he was this morning. His glamor was coming’ on and he wasn’t even fighting it, did ye see? I’ve never seen him in such a state around a woman before.”

“That’s true. I nudged him under the table so he could stop before Jenna saw the change.” The elder warned them both, “Listen, don’t ye even think about telling him—”

Concerned for Alex, Gavin said, “But she’s avoiding him Lachlan, in the long run it will break his heart.”

Lachlan frowned. It would indeed. This was auld magic. So auld it was the stuff of faerie tales. If Jenna MacLeod cried seven tears into the sea with Alex nearby, it was a binding contract of love or obsession — lasting love if he could win her heart, obsession and eventual suicide if he couldn’t. “If he doesn’t figure out a way to win her over, it will kill him.” Lachlan’s frown deepened. “And damn it all, there’s nothing the three of us can do about it.”

Not one to shirk from intrigue, Beatrix MacCodrum tapped a finger to her chin. “Maybe there is.”
