This excerpt continues the one from last week. Charlie has been painting scenes from Jocelyn’s life, but she doesn’t want to believe in the psychic connection between them.
Thank you for stopping by!
Excerpt:
“You’re lucky to have such talent.” He finally turned to her.
She managed a nervous smile and approached her easel. A paint-stained sheet draped it. “I’m not finished with this yet. Would you like to see it anyway?”
He nodded. Lifting her hand to the sheet, she was surprised to find herself trembling. She never usually showed anyone her unfinished work, but this painting was nearly complete, and he was the only person she’d ever met who truly appreciated her most treasured works.
The Darkness Therein
by Kate Hill
Coming November 28, 2022
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.
Note: The Darkness Therein was previously published. This re-edited version contains additional scenes.

Yes, it is hard for an artist – any type of artist – to let someone see the unfinished work.

Brave artist to show an unfinished work! Enjoyed the snippet.
She is brave to let him see it already, but I’m sure he will recognize it instantly!
Her rationalization for showing it to him before it’s complete is sound. She can feel their connection, whether she wants to admit it or not. Tweeted.
