When a new attorney accepts a case
of a woman accused of attempted homicide, he finds himself entwined in age-old
secrets and a family who will stop at nothing to conceal them—even murder.
Over
the last few weeks, I shared peeks into my male and female protagonists’
psyche, giving you a glimpse at who they are. One of the other things I love is
to share the outdoors. Here is just a snippet of nature and a sprinkling of the
romance to come.
Excerpt:
Tom walked out onto the deck adjacent
the room and leaned against the railing. He stared out over Lake Nantahala. It
was so peaceful this time of night, even the cicadas hadn’t emerged too early
this year, filling the evening with their vociferous symphony. Instead, a few
crickets and frogs provided a soft soundtrack almost lulling him asleep.
The
sun had already made its descent behind the trees, but the sky still had
remnants of pinks and purples. The thought of enjoying the state he loved so
much with a family bombarded his senses again. It wasn’t as though he was old;
he wasn’t even twenty-seven yet. But he was ready. He wanted someone to spend
his nights with, not just his bed. He’d been through that life, and it had left
him unfilled. Momentary pleasure couldn’t replace deep-seated emotional
desires, never had. If he was being honest, he wanted to love someone and for
them to return that love.
