Excerpt from the Darkness Therein:
Charlie awoke early the next morning, anxious and fearful to discover if last night’s events had been real or merely a sensational dream.
She washed and dressed in jeans and a cropped, fitted sweater that flattered the firm abs she’d spent hours of crunches shaping. She braided her dark hair down her back before glancing at herself in the old-fashioned full-length mirror in the master bedroom.
“I’m not so bad,” she said to herself. “I guess he could be attracted to…Charlie, you must be losing your mind.”
Sighing, she gathered her laundry bag to bring to the basement. Even before she reached the bottom of the steps, she smelled coffee brewing. Her entire body tensed. He’s really here!
She peered around the corner of the kitchen door, still wondering…
Jocelyn glanced at her from where he stood by the picture window behind the round glass table. His eyes were as penetrating in daylight as they had been in the dark. The coal-colored pants and sweater he wore only made his skin seem paler in the glare of the sun. Mark’s shirt was folded beside her coffee cup on the table.
“You’re up early.” She clutched the laundry tighter. “How are you feeling this morning? Your arm must be really sore.”
“I’m fine.”
“Sure.” She raised her eyes to heaven. “You’d better get that wound checked out because you can get an infection.”
He pushed up the sleeve of his sweater, revealing a long, red, partially-healed scar. Her gaze swept the length of his lean forearm and the pronounced curve of his biceps. Her pulse quickened, and she cleared her throat.
“I forgot. You’re supernatural.” She tried to sound nonchalant.
Blurb:
Jocelyn has chased his nemesis for centuries. He swore that nothing or no one would stand between him and revenge on the creature that destroyed his life. That same rival leads Jocelyn to the one person who can reconnect him to the human race.
Art student Charlie has no idea that her family history binds her to a creature of legend–until he appears in the form of a tall, beautiful man with a thirst for revenge. The last thing she wants is to follow his orders, but if she intends to stay alive, she has no choice.
