Set up: This takes place a few sentences later than last weeks snippet. Michaela debates if starting a relationship with Alan is wise when her time is limited...
***Note: The snippet has been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit. Yes again there is some fancy punctuations and some long sentences. lol 
*******************************************************************************
“Ye can ring me if ye like to go," he said and added, "Mrs. O’Malley has my number.” He leaned toward her and kissed her cheek. “May yer dreams all be sweet, Michaela Grant.”
It took her a few seconds to realize he had walked away. She was in real trouble here. If she
wasn’t dying, if she wasn’t going back home… “There are too many ifs to make this work,” she
murmured under her breath. Her gaze lingered on Alan’s tall frame for a moment longer as he
sauntered toward his brother, and with a long sigh of regret, she turned and strode out the door.
*******************************************************************************
Live, love and laugh, Michaela. You don't have to be reckless to have fun. You're not dead yet and no one truly knows when their time is up. Don't you agree?:)
This is going to be my last snippet from MAGIC OF THE LOCH. I hope you've enjoyed all these months of snippets. 🙂 A million thanks to those who left comments. Much appreciated!
And thanks to those who purchased a copy of Magic of the Loch and let me how much they loved Alan and Michaela's tale. I can't even begin to tell you how much that means to me.
Stop by next week for a 'snippet #1' from my Urban Fantasy tale, SOUL TAKER.
If you're interested here's a blurb for Magic of the Loch:
Michaela Grant travels to Scotland for a holiday, knowing this vacation is her last. A medical condition threatens her life and any chance of a future—until she meets Alan MacLachlin, a man forced to exist between two worlds.
Alan is the legendary Loch Ness Monster. Once every fifty years he returns to human form in search of his soul mate, the one woman who can break his curse. He believes he has found forever with Michaela, but to claim it he must figure out how to save her life.
Michaela and Alan vow to take what time has to offer, but another threat looms. A sinister shape shifter with a vendetta against Alan is making Loch Ness his personal hunting ground. Now he's threatening Michaela. Alan must discover who the shifter is and stop him before it's too late.

A short Irish paranormal time travel romance
Kendra O’Reilly felt a connection with the Blarney Castle as if the echoes of the past could still be heard. The guide tells her a story about the Blarney Stone being the ancient Lia Fáil, one of the magical gifts from the god-like race, the Tuatha Dé Danann. To wish upon it, one will see where his or her destiny lies. Kendra wishes to find her one true love. She never thought she’d be whisked back to fifteen-century Ireland to find him.
Cian MacCarthy, the Lord of Blarney not only possesses the gift of Irish eloquence but he also has visions of the future. He’s waited for Kendra’s arrival, knowing she is his soul mate. Now all he has to do is convince her she belongs at his side.
Good luck! I hope you’re sales skyrocket!
Thanks so much. 🙂
Ifs are the best aren’t they? Because Alan is about to blow them all away!
Linda,
Perfectly said. 🙂
I’ve enjoyed the snippets you’ve shared from the story. This isn’t a genre I usually read, but you’ve made me fall in love with your hero. I’ll be adding this to my TBR list.
Christina,
Thank you so much. Glad you were intrigued!
Lovely Snippet!
Allyson,
Thank you. 🙂
Very nice. Thanks for sharing. Can’t wait to start reading your new work.
Gemma,
Thanks so much. I hope you’ll enjoy the snippets from SOUL TAKER as well 🙂
Tsk, tsk. Shoulda taken the chance, lass. Great snippet, Karen. 🙂
Siobhan,
It’s not over yet. 🙂
I love Magic of the Loch—and I can’t wait to see a bit from Soul Taker!
Sarah,
Thanks so much for your kind words. 🙂
Oh, you cruel thing to leave it there! I want to see how it plays out. Heading over to Amazon to add it to my wish list right now. I so adore Alan…can’t wait to see what happens! Good luck with this one!
Great snippet! She may not have enough time but he sounds too interesting to resist.
Lorien,
You have that right. 🙂
I love this snippet! Sweet and poignant.
P.T.,
Thank you.
Life’s just too complicated, isn’t it?
Thank you for answering my question a couple of weeks ago. It makes much more sense knowing how early on this is. I wonder how her reaction would be different if she knew his true nature?
Botanist,
Life certainly can be complicated. And I’m glad your questions were answered. 🙂
Some times too many ifs just make it all the better to go ahead! Have enjoyed all these excerpts very much, a terrific and different story indeed!
Veronica,
Thank you so much. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the story. 🙂
Sounds like he’s playing hard to ge.
Sue Ann,
She’s not playing hard to get. She’s unsure of her future and feels she doesn’t have a right to impose her troubles on someone else.
I hope she overcomes her reservations soon!
Carrie-Anne,
Never fear. lol
Very good… you’ve captured the sense of conflicting emotions.
Thanks so much, Jeff. 🙂
Hmm, could she be thinking escape by dying would be easier than dealing with feelings for this formidable man? Great 8.
