Excerpt From True...
"The water rushed past loud and fast, turning and foaming off the rocks, swirling and jetting into whirlpools. Emma and Liam stopped for a moment hypnotized by the raw power. She reached up and loosened the leather tie on his braid; the dark mass fell down his back, silver streaks glinting among the black. She combed her fingers through it, her eyes closed, savoring the moment, the nearness of him, his clean smell of soap and cedar." ~From Chapter Twenty-Six |
Excerpt From True...
It hit her from behind. The powerful force of its streamlined body knocked the wind out of her, ramming her face hard into the ground. Her knee shattered in pain; she scrambled on all fours like a crab. Arrow was barking and whimpering. Turning her head in panic, she caught a flash of tawny fur. She screamed as the cat lunged again, its claws slicing, cleaving into the skin of her lower back, while its teeth simultaneously hooked the fanny pack strap and one belt loop of her jeans.
The lion bounded through the oak circle in a graceful lope, then paused and raised his head. She dangled in mid-air, limp and unconscious. Engulfed in the lavender glow of twilight, he moved slowly up the mountain. ~From Chapter Thirty-Three |
