We're celebrating Romance books in the Mistletoe Hop
I'm sharing from Candle Magic a magical love story to brighten winter days and soon to be released from Siren Publishing
Read an excerpt:
Simi
hurried on past the huge fir tree decorated with bright white fairy lights. The
seventh chime of twelve echoed out. A car suddenly sped by, sending a spray of
icy water up onto the sidewalk and drenching her calves. The shock made her
falter. One of her spike heels caught between pavers that had cracked in the
summer. Simi fell as the heel broke off from the shoe and the last stroke of
midnight faded away.
She
didn’t reach the cold, hard pavers.
Two
strong male hands grasped her waist, lifted her, and set her on her feet. A
deep, attractive voice asked, “Are you okay? You’re not. You’re freezing and
your shoe is broken. Let me help you. I’m here for you.” He held her shoulders,
taking some of her weight as Simi limped to face her rescuer.
She
looked up and into the eyes of a gorgeous man. Strands of his thick dark hair
glistened in the light, thrown off by the strings of fairy lights threaded
through the branches of the trees lining this part of the sidewalk. The sleet
lent a sheen to these strands and lit him up as if he, too, was a Christmas
decoration. Simi gazed at him. She drank in the perfect features of his face.
Her eyes dipped to take in his obviously muscled body under his clothes. His
overcoat hung open over a black suit. He wore a gleaming white shirt and a
black bow tie. He’s perfect.
“I’m
fine, thank you,” her voice scratched out.
He
gave her a look just short of amused, but definitely disbelieving.
“I
know otherwise. Please, it’s Christmas. Let me be here for you.”
