THREE (3) E-BOOK COPIES OF FATED ALWAYS
When her best friend, Sawyer Gavin, roars into town
on his motorcycle, Tala Gael thinks life couldn’t get any better. What she
couldn’t have anticipated was his appearance heralding a time of change in her
quiet, comfortable existence.
With her life turned upside down, Tala resists
Sawyer’s advances, clinging to the familiar. Tragedy changes her mind, but as she
takes the leap of faith into Sawyer’s arms, they find themselves suspects in a
murder investigation. And Tala learns she’s not the only person in Trappers’
Cove keeping an impossible secret.
Jealousy is when you worry someone will take what
you have; envy is coveting what someone else has; and both can lead to murder.
“That inspiration shines through on the page, as characters interact with a lived-in chemistry that feels like they've been living long before you flipped the page, and will continue to do so long after...The natural dialogue sizzles and slides, invoking the feeling of watching a conversation between two real people rather than reading a novel.” - Northeast Times
Excerpt
“Do you feel
that?” he asked.
“Of course I do,
Sawyer. It’s pressing into my hip.”
He laughed, he
blushed, and Tala tried with all her being not to be seduced.
“Not that. Well,
not just that.” He tucked his finger under her chin and raised her face until
their mouths aligned.
Tala held her
breath. Did he mean to kiss her? Why aren’t I backing away?
“Can’t you feel
how right this is? I can feel you in every bit of me, Tee. It’s an awareness
that is always with me, like the sensation of being watched but better. It’s
the knowledge that we belong together. That we fit. Be honest—don’t you feel it
too?”
She twisted
away, but he held on. He keeps pushing me.
“What if I said
I did? Then what? When it falls apart, we’ve lost more than a lover. We’ve each
lost our best friend.” She touched his cheek. “I couldn’t live with that.
You’re too important. Let it go.”
“Who says it’ll
fall apart? Why would it? Who is your mom’s best friend? Your dad’s?” He did
not wait for an answer. “Why can’t we have both too?”
She didn’t have
an answer. She was too proud to admit she was too afraid to risk it. She closed
her eyes against the weight of his stare and the truth reflected in it. She
wouldn’t give him what he wanted. She loved him too much.

Interesting bit here. She loved him too much to give him what he wanted? That raises questions
ReplyDeleteOoohhh, don't be scared to grab that forever kind of love, girl! :)
ReplyDeleteOh dear never turn from forever love. Questions abound. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteSo much raw emotion in the short scene. I love it.
ReplyDeleteHer reason for holding says a lot about her as a person. It makes me wonder what her wound is.
ReplyDeleteA tough situation to be in. Losing a best friend is worse than losing a lover. Still, he obviously sees something special between them. Beautifully written.
