Blurb:

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.

*Note: Snippet has been modified to fit the 8 sentence limit.

****************************************************************************
Set up for the scene: Michaela agrees to let Alan and Hyatt give her a tour of the loch so she can search for the legendary Loch Ness Monster. As Hyatt and Michaela conversed, Alan realizes Michaela is not feeling well. He's slows the boat to a stop, asking Hyatt to take over. Michaela has the starting of a  migraine, and no medication will relieve the pain, but Alan claims he can help.

Now for the snippet: (Alan's POV)

************************************************************************************************** He gently placed his fingertips on both sides of her head, massaging the temples in a circular motion with his thumbs as he chanted words, sending a vibration of warmth through his hands. Michaela leaned her head back as she absorbed the heat. The lines on her forehead smoothed away, leaving her brow relaxed and unmarred by pain. Her eyes snapped open in amazement, her gaze traveling over his face before locking onto his eyes.

She raised her hand to grip his forearm. “What did you do?” she asked, her eyes brimming with tears of gratitude.

“Do ye feel better then?”

“Your hands are like magic.”

************************************************************************************************

Magic hands? Wonder what else he can do with those hands? Lol

  1. Oh, drat! I wish I would have known about this event to add my Christmas book. Is it a yearly event? I’d love to join next time, if it’s possible. 🙂

    And boy oh boy, hands that can cure a headache? I want this man!

  7. Wonderful soothing and healing hands. I thought I could feel them massaging my forehead to relieve the eye strain. I can imagine them doing other things…
