Weekend Writing Warriors from A Tempest of Passion #shifters #regencyromance

Happy Sunday, everyone!

I'm sharing yet another snippet from A Tempest of Passion as I'm not ready to share any from my current WIP just yet.

I'm continuing in the same scene. Emily is non too pleased William is there, but things could change... What can I say, I'm a sucker for a beautiful smile :)

Enjoy!

Abruptly, he turned away, a small smile playing on his lips as if he knew something she ignored.
 Emily shifted in her seat, searching for words to dismiss the unpleasant man. 
“Your parents…?” he asked.
“Have gone for a walk,” she responded mechanically. “It is their routine at this hour. I shall tell them you have called.”
“Please do. Though, it is you I have come to see. After I found you unconscious on the terrace and brought you back inside, I lost sight of you and wanted to see how you were faring.” 

He smiled at her, a brilliant, earnest smile that had her taking back her thoughts on his appearance.

A Tempest of Passion Emily Bunsbury is most definitely not a fainter. She prefers to leave that sort of shenanigans to young debutants and to those desperate to land a husband. She is neither. Except last night she passed out and was rescued by none other than the town’s most eligible bachelor: William Dalton. Of course, she wants nothing to do with him, but her heart and body don’t seem to be in agreement… Banished from his pack for a crime he did not commit, William Dalton does not have the desire or the time to court women, yet, when he meets Emily Bunsbury he is incapable of staying away. Certain that it is nothing more than a passing fancy and not the mating pull, he pursues her. However, as the unknown threat that expelled him from his pack strikes again, William realizes that Emily means much more and he must keep her safe. Now, if only she’d agree to his terms… As danger grows with each passing day, will the couple learn to trust each other or will their love be nothing more than a temporary tempest of passion?

Weekend Writing Warriors from A Tempest of Passion #shifters #regencyromance

Happy Sunday, everyone! and Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's out there!

Quarantine has finally gotten to me an I've dyed my hair. Hahaha. It was supposed to be a reddish brown but it's turned out a darker shade than I would have liked. Hopefully it'll fade soon.


If you still haven't joined my Facebook group, make sure you stop by. I'm holding a special Mother's Day Giveaway there.

Last but obviously not least, on to today's snippet. I've jumped a few lines but we're still in the same scene as last week. Made some changes to keep to the Weekend Writing Warriors guidelines.

Enjoy!

“Mr. Dalton, I am indebted to you for I do not know what came over me last night, but I have been told that my well-being is your responsibility.  I am most grateful for your assistance.”

William smiled broadly, the motion pulling the mark beneath his eye. Emily’s breath caught and she curled her hands into tight balls at her side, aghast against the unexpected urge to touch that blemished flesh.

“It was but my duty to rescue you from the cold, heartless floor, Ms. Bunsbury,” William said with a jovial grin. Clasping his hands behind his back, he waited for her to say something.

Emily only clamped her jaws together, desperately searching for words. Speechless.  Only one other time in her life had she been unable to speak under a man’s gaze, and back then she had been but a naïve girl of ten and eight years. Now, she was twenty and eight years, a wiser woman who knew what a perusal like the one Mr. Dalton gave her meant. He was like all others: thoughtless to a woman’s desires and mind, only curious to what lay beneath skirts and petticoats.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

I hope everyone is doing well and staying healthy.

In case anyone is interested, I've created a Facebook group. You can find the link to join at the bottom of the post.

On to today's snippet! Since everyone seemed to enjoy last week's snippet from A Tempest of Passion, I'm continuing more or less from where we left off. Her servant has left her alone with Mr. Dalton and they're holding a bit of a staring contest...

Enjoy!

He was watching her, like a dog deciding what end of the bone to chew on first. Irked, she stared back. William Dalton’s features had no finesse, to be honest, he reminded her of a wild dog. His hair was unruly and too long, the lines of his face were angular and rough. His lips were too wide, his nose too narrow and his left cheek disfigured by an ugly pink scar extending from below his eye to the edge of his mouth. Then there was the matter of his eyes. Dark and unreadable, they had an air about them that spoke of a man with little joy in his life. Emily shuddered. It mattered little to her that this was the man that had “saved” her last night. It was time for him to leave.

Happy Sunday, everyone!

How are you all holding up? I'm doing well, though working more on the day job than usual and finding little time to write.

In any case, today I'm sharing a snippet from an oldie: A Tempest of Passion.

Enjoy! Stafe Safe!

Careless of manners, Emily sank back onto the window bench. Suddenly, she did feel poorly––her heart beat too fast, and her hands were cold and clammy. Emily stared at Mr. Dalton as he straightened his posture. She shivered. William Dalton was by no means the most handsome man she had ever set eyes on … but there was something about him that unnerved her. 
“Thank you, Gertrude,” she said, finding her voice at last. “Close the door.”
“But, Ms. Bunsbury––”
Emily resisted the urge to roll her eyes. When would they learn that she was past her prime?

#MidWeek Tease: Bear Heart #erotic #naughtyfairytale #bearshifter

Happy Wednesday, lovelies!

Today I'm sharing a snippet from Book 4 of The Witches Mischief series, Bear Heart. This Naughty Fairy Tale is based on the tale of Bear Skin.

Bear Heart 
(A Naughty Fairy Tale)   
The Witches' Mischief Series 4 more

By day a bear, by night a man.

Half a century ago Simon Lancaster loved a woman. But when he committed a crime and was seduced by a witch his fate was sealed. Forced to live as a shifter by day and human by night, he becomes hopeless.

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.

Available at Evernight / Amazon / Bookstrand / All Romance Ebooks

In this snippet, Simon is in the woods debating whether he should visit Margaret as he'd promised. 

“Mr. Lancaster.” 

 He jumped and veered around.

“Margaret, what are you doing here?” Heat crept up his neck. “I apologize. I thought you’d be resting after your injury yesterday.”

She smiled at him. “The herbs Morgana placed in the water were very helpful. As for what I’m doing here…” Margaret chewed on her bottom lip and looked at him from beneath her lashes. “I was looking for you, Simon.”

“For me?”

“Yes. I was worried you wouldn’t come. Your promise seemed empty yesterday when we said our farewells.”

“You were going to venture into the forest at night to search for me?”

He tucked his thumb beneath her chin, forcing her to look at him. Margaret nodded and blushed. Simon’s heart expanded and doubled its hammering into a joyful tune. 

“I would be hard-pressed to stay away from you, Margaret.”

Softly, she placed her hand over his.

“Then let us go inside.”

“Why?”

Margaret’s eyes widened for an instant before she burst out laughing. His insides flipped.

“Why?” she echoed. “When was the last time you were with a woman, Simon?” Her voice dropped seductively as she inched closer, placing her palm on his chest.

“Excuse me?”

Margaret didn’t respond. Instead, she slid her hand up his torso in a caress that, even through his clothes, left him hot and wanton. Her fingers curled around the nape of his neck, pressing slightly and forcing him to lower his head. Standing on her toes, she pressed her lips against his. Blood rushed to his cock at the proximity of her body. Her fragrance filled his nostrils and he had to curl his fists to stop himself from pulling her even closer.

“When was the last time you had a woman in your arms, Simon? When was the last time you felt anything similar to what we feel? I told you last night, your presence does things to me.”

Her warm lips touched his. It wasn’t a kiss. It was like the peck of a bird. An invitation. A tiny taste that invited him to have more. He wanted more.

 “Please, I apologize, do continue, Ms. Bunsbury.”

 Straightening her spine, Emily gave him her best piercing gaze. 

“Mr. Dalton, I am indebted to you. I do not know what came over me last night, but I have been told that my well-being is your responsibility.  I am most grateful for your assistance.”

William smiled broadly, the motion pulling the mark beneath his eye. Emily’s breath caught. She curled her hands into tight balls at her side, aghast against the unexpected urge to touch that blemished flesh. 

 “It was but my duty to rescue you from the cold heartless floor, Ms. Bunsbury,” William said, with a jovial grin.

Dark and unreadable, they had an air about them that spoke of a man with little joy in his life. Emily shuddered. It mattered little to her that this was the man that had “saved” her last night; it was time for him to leave.

“Mr. Dalton.”

“Ms. Bunsbury.”

They spoke at the same time, both of them stopping short at their impasse. Emily pressed her lips together but William Dalton broke into rich, cheerful gales of laughter. Unexpected warmth rushed over her, making butterflies in her stomach dance to a minuet. Her frown grew deeper.
