here dropping in for a visit to promote my new novella Dream Hunter.
Looking for some literary
adventure? Believe in angels and other paranormal phenomena? I have the book
for you. And it’s available for free on Amazon for two days - January 30 – 31, 2015.
Blurb:
Cynthia’s dreams are so
real, they are actually coming true – complete with the prerequisite dream guy.
But things are not as they seem.
Who said dreams are
sweet?
Chicago businesswoman
Cynthia Courtland is completely focused on her career when a sensual,
reoccurring dream disrupts her orderly life. Then a threat against her
workplace forces her to take time off. She is lost with nowhere to go--only her
empty apartment.
Work is Gabe’s life too;
he takes it very seriously and will do whatever it takes to succeed. He's been
watching over Cynthia for a long time and he has her best interests at heart,
but can he protect her from the danger she is blind to? When Cynthia insists on
investigating the threat so she can get back to work, it makes Gabe's job all
the more difficult.
When things settle, will
there be more for them than a life filled with work? Will she give her dreams a
chance to come true?
Excerpt:
The air in her lungs
rushed to escape and time stood still. She was aware of only him. Beyond her
control, her head tilted and her whole body leaned toward him; her inner core
pulsed and buzzed. He drew her in like a magnet, a moth to flame; she was
helpless to resist his siren call. He emulated danger, looked like evil
incarnate—black and dangerous, seductive and forbidden—and she wanted him.
When he grabbed her
harshly by both shoulders, she snapped out of her lust-induced trance. “What do
you think you’re doing?” she demanded.
“We must get out of here.”
His words were calm, but his eyes stared right through her.
Cynthia opened her mouth
to object.
“There is no time,” he
announced as he tugged on her arm.
“Let go of me!” She tried
to pull away. “I don’t know you.”
Holding her arm still, he
stared into her eyes without saying a word.
Okay, he seems a little
familiar. She gulped. “How do I know you?”
Giving her a penetrating
look, he replied, “You know me. Quit wasting time.”
She opened her mouth to
protest again.
“We must leave now.”
Should I go with him? She
tilted her head and looked up at him. His gaze was strong and steady and made
her feel safe. This is not the time to be indecisive. She thought about the
threat at work and shivered despite the heat.
You will be safe with me.
There is no time. We must leave now. His voice entered her thoughts like a
caress in her mind and didn’t alarm her.
He was right. There was
no time to analyze her options and run through various scenarios. For all she
knew, every scenario without him could mean danger for her. Her body wanted to
follow him, she admitted with reluctance, even if her mind resisted. Yes, she
would go, she decided, even as she felt herself following him down the street.
Power resonated from his
muscular build. He kept a hand in a firm but gentle hold on her elbow as they
hurried down the sidewalk. Unmindful of their destination, Cynthia had ample
time to study her new “friend.” He towered over her by at least a foot, wearing
a black leather jacket despite the warm day, and dark jeans that showcased his narrow
waist. Every beefy inch of him screamed passion and strength—his tight clothing
doing nothing to disguise the sinewy muscles rippling in his legs as he
moved—but she wasn’t frightened of him. She hesitated for a minute. Should I be
afraid? No, she decided. She felt eerily calm, like all her life had been
leading her up to this moment in time, and she was exactly where she was
supposed to be. The reason she let a perfect stranger lead her to
God-knew-where.
She shifted her thick
hair over her shoulder as sweat soaked at the base of her neck. The day’s
temperature had yet to peak, but it was already warm enough to be uncomfortable
and practically running in office attire didn’t help matters.
“I need a moment,” she
said.
They made an abrupt stop.
The man offered her an unopened bottle of water. After casting an assessing
look at him she accepted the bottle, and took a long, welcome drink.
“Thank you.”
The man dismissed her
thanks with a casual shrug.
Cynthia shot him a
questioning look.
“Later,” he replied in a
brisk voice. “We need to go.”
“Where?”
“We need to go,” he
repeated, ignoring her question.
They had covered several
blocks and, as they moved further from her office, the sights became less
familiar and a tremor of fear shook through her body. Where did this guy come
from? Why does he think I know him? Because I do know him. The realization hit
her hard in the stomach. It’s him.
“I need—”
“We need to keep going,”
he insisted without further explanation.
“No!” She planted her
hands on her hips and her feet in the firmest stance she could manage as she
wobbled on the uneven sidewalk. Then she looked down at her feet and a strange
sense of déjà vu washed over her as she stared at the cobblestone path. Her
mouth gaped, her breathing quickened. With dread she looked up at the buildings
on the street. Her vision blurred. Everything around her spun and faded away as
she collapsed into strong arms. She had a vague awareness of him lifting her.
As he adjusted his hold, she bounced against his solid chest. She must be
dreaming. That was the only explanation that made sense. Nothing like this ever
happened in her boring, ordinary life. It’s just a dream. Swallowing her
disappointment, she glanced up at the determined expression on his face. He
carried her effortlessly, like she weighed nothing. When she rested her head on
his chest, she could feel his heart beating steadily. She ran her hand lightly
across his defined bicep. Wow. He wasn’t real, but she might as well make the
most of it; from experience she knew her dream wouldn’t last forever.
