Thank you for coming by every Sunday to read and comment on my snippets. {Hugs}
Today, I'm continuing with Bear Heart, Book 4 of The Witches' Mischief series. Last week our hero was walking through the woods when he heard a familiar sound: laughter. I've skipped a few lines to bring you this week's snippet.
Enjoy! And thanks again for reading!

Unable
to resist, he headed in the direction of the sound, curious to see for himself
who was the girl that had his late fiancées laughter but not her scent. He knew he shouldn’t be coming this way.
There was a home nearby. He recalled seeing it when he first came to live in
this area and vowed to stay away from it, but Evelyn’s memory kept him moving.
Evelyn. Dear Evelyn. Deep down in his heart, he
knew it could not be her for she was dead. Killed byhis own selfishness and stupidity. Killed by his desire for revenge.

He believes there is nothing left in life for him. That is, until he meets Margaret O'Hare. An unconventional woman, Margaret makes him feel whole again, but he doesn't know if he can allow the walls he has erected around his heart to lower, no matter how much he grows to care for her.
As their time together has them becoming closer, he starts to trust and love again. But a happily ever after might not be in Simon's future as dark shadows emerge to destroy what he has built with Margaret.

Hmm, who sounds like his wife, and what did he do that got her killed?

DeleteA lot of 'he in this snippet. I'd prefer his name here and there. Otherwise, it's beautiful and captured me right in the heart.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Charmaine :) I think that happened because when I started writing the story the hero didn't have a name. LOL
DeleteOh wow, cliffhanger. I want to know who the girl is?? Is there some strange twist that his dear Evelyn is still alive??? :-) Good job of planting questions, Elyzabeth! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa! There might be some answers next week ;-)
DeleteOh wow, very intriguing. I have my hopes up that maybe the girl is going to be his Evelyn. Loved this excerpt, great 8!
