This excerpt is from a novella, Love Like A River, I’ve included in the collection Love Historicals Presents Lost In A Kiss: Eight Sweet and Sensual Novellas. My story is definitely on the sensual side. Gratia is alone in a garden by the Danube, at night, when this happens.
EXCERPT
She met the stone wall, felt the radiant heat of what had been an unseasonably warm October afternoon. She pressed against that warmth, sighed, let her eyes flutter closed as her fingers curled over the chalky surface near her head. To be full body against such warmth….
A brush of sound was the only warning before calloused hands settled on top of hers. Her eyes flew open as the contact and a harsh whisper braced her in place.
“You should not be out here alone.” The man smelled like horse and sweat and the thick dust of hard travel.
END OF EXCERPT
Who might he be? And what do you think of that cover? I know he’s kind of hairy, but Leo (the hero) has a hairy chest, and also those big square hands were perfect. Me like.
