TEASER / EXCERPT:

Weaving between the comfortable furniture, she crossed the room. When she was closer to the window, she realized that she had been mistaken. The man standing there had too much hair to be Adam. He turned to face her. His scowling, yet devastatingly handsome face startled her. If Adam was the most homely man she had ever seen, then this man was the most handsome. The chiseled features, clear skin, familiar blue eyes, and thick black hair momentarily took her breath away. Above familiar blue eyes, his eyebrows were knitted together in a frown.

Maybe she had imagined his remark as she’d entered the room. “Excuse me?” she said, giving him the benefit of her doubt.

“You heard me. The day is slipping away. I want to go riding this morning. I thought you might be interested in joining me.”

“Do I know you?” She knew she didn’t, but she needed a moment to collect herself. Without the frown, he was so handsome her knees were weak.

“That’s right, I forgot. You’ve never met this side of me.” He let out a sigh of impatient frustration. “I am Arun.”

“Arun?”

“Do not play the fool. It does not become you, Korina. Adam told you of me.”

“Where is my husband? I’d like to speak with him.”

“Adam is gone for the day. He will return tonight.”

The man was frowning again, and his eyes flashed. She’d never met this man, yet he appeared to be jealous of her husband.

“Then I cannot go riding with you.”

She was looking into his eyes now, Adam’s eyes.

“Adam told you that you must obey me. I say we go riding.” He crossed his arms over his chest.

His stance was daring her to argue.

If she didn’t want to go riding so badly, she would take him up on that dare. He was the rudest man she’d ever met.

“I’d just like to hear it from him again.”

He rolled his eyes to the back of his head. “Whatever made me think you were intelligent?”

“I’m sure I have no idea,” Korina snarled.

Her temper began to flare. This asshole had been nothing but rude and insulting from the moment they’d met. She took a calming breath and counted to ten in an attempt to stop herself from saying something that wasn’t at all ladylike.

TEASER EXCERPT

She turned the key in the outside door of her apartment building. The door creaked as she opened it. Out of habit she checked her mailbox, emptied it, and stuffed the contents into her purse. Up three flights of steps and next to the last door on the left side of the hall was where her small apartment was located. The lock clicked open just as it had countless times before. If she should feel melancholy about leaving it she didn’t. After the last few weeks, it didn’t even feel like home anymore. She silently thanked that witchy woman Minerva for whatever it was she’d done to send her to Idaho. The whole episode couldn’t be explained rationally. She wasn’t going to seek Minerva out to find out how it had happened either. It was some kind of miracle. She would leave it at that.

She tossed her hoodie on the small, worn sofa and laid her purse on the table. She dropped her keys into the purse, only to have them pop back out because the mail blocked their entrance.

Shamika tsked, pulled the mail out, and dropped it on the table. The envelopes and flyers spread over the table top. While moving them around with her fingertips she saw the usual bills. A lavender envelope caught her eye. She recognized the return address. The handwriting was her mother’s, but the address was her aunt’s.

With trembling hands she ripped open the glued flap. Her heart was pounding. Why would her mother send her a card? They hadn’t been in touch for years. The face of the card read, “Happy Easter,” complete with a bunny rabbit, baby chicks, painted eggs, and tulips. The card was suitable for a six-year-old. Considering that and the fact that it was June, she was confused, curious, and apprehensive. She flipped it open and read.

 

Dearest Shamika,

I realize that we haven’t been on the best of terms over the last five years. Actually we haven’t been on any terms at all. It’s time to put our differences behind us. You are family, and family matters. I miss you and could really use your support right now. A lot has happened in the last two years, things I do not want to put into a letter.

If you could find it in your heart to come home, I would be so grateful. It doesn’t have to be for good. A short visit would be fine. I don’t care where you live, as long as you’re happy. I know we have been unbending about that in the past, but we have finally come to see that it’s not our decision, it’s yours. Please let us back into your life. Your father has had a heart attack. We don’t know how much longer he will be with us. We would like to be a family again, before it’s too late.

You will find us at Aunt Susan’s house.

All my love,

Mom

 

Shamika collapsed into the chair next to the table. She stared dumbly at the card she held between her trembling fingers. Heart attack? Her father had had a heart attack? Tears welled up in her eyes. The last time she and her father had talked they’d had angry words, said hurtful things. She’d inherited her pride from her father, her stubbornness, too. Those two traits had kept her family apart long enough. Her mother was right. They needed to be a family again before it was too late.

TEASER / EXCERPT:

Set up for the teaser:  Adrian has arrived on Dulce Isle. Jon helps Adrian and takes him to Rosa’s villa. Rosa feels an immediate attraction to Adrian which was enhanced by Jon’s apparent attraction to Adrian. 

Rosa paced the length of her bedroom. Nervous, pent-up sexual desire had her wide awake. Her negligee didn’t help her condition either. Silky as it was, it caressed her nipples, making them bud.

She looked at the small grandfather clock on the fireplace mantle. The pendulum swung to a precise rhythm. Eleven o’clock it chimed. Eleven wasn’t that late. She would pay Adrian a late-night visit. She rarely had sex with a man the first time she met him. Adrian was special. She was going to follow her instincts about this man.

TEASER / EXCERPT:

“What the hell are you thinking, bringing a woman here?” Sven nearly shouted when they reached the edge of the porch. “Have you forgotten what happened the last time a woman was here? Are you out of your mind?” He gripped the railing encasing the porch and rocked.

“She’s more than a woman. I’m pretty sure you know that.” Jacob paced.

“I know it, you know it and Milo knows it, but does she know it?” Sven pushed away from the railing.

“I don’t know,” Jacob sighed.

“Well, I’m here to tell you, she doesn’t. She doesn’t have a clue. She will hightail it out of here so fast your head will spin. I can smell fear all over her.”

“So maybe she’s a little afraid. What’s so wrong with that?” Jacob tried to defend Carolyn.

“I take it you want to make her our mate. She doesn’t have the backbone for the three of us. We need a strong female if our pack is to prosper. She has to choose all three of us. Do you think she will do that? And all three of us must agree. We cannot commit to anything less…We agreed about that. I say no.”

Leslie smiled. “Thank you,” she said then sat down next to Margaret.

Edward continued to play while James and Danton sang. Rose moved closer to James. She wrapped her arm in his and joined in the merriment.

“Do you know who the ghost is?” Leslie asked Margaret.

“You’re a curious one, aren’t you, dear? I thought we would wait until after church, but to answer your question, yes, I do know who it is.”

“Are you going to tell me?” Leslie nearly bounced in her excitement.

“She is my first daughter-in-law, Emily.”

Leslie’s voice faltered. “The Emily whose clothes I have? The Emily that James loves?”

“Loved, dear.”

“No, he still loves her. I still love my husband, so I understand how he feels.”

“You are married, dear?”

“No, my husband is dead,” she said, fighting back tears. “I still miss him.”

“I’m sorry,” Margaret said. She reached for Leslie’s hand.

“No, I’m the one who should be apologizing. I didn’t mean to cry. I get a little melancholy around the holidays.”

“I understand. I do that myself sometimes.” Margaret patted Leslie’s hand.

Leslie squeezed Margaret’s hand in shared experience. “I don’t know anything about ghosts, but does Emily know why she’s still here? I mean, there’s usually a reason a spirit stays earthbound, isn’t there?”

Margaret tilted her head. She paused briefly as if listening to a voice only she had heard. “Yes, Emily thinks she was murdered. Not only that, she thinks all of James’s wives were murdered.”
