“Where did you come from?”
In last week’s excerpt, a woozy Ophelia confronts her rescuing hero in a daze. Not only does he appear out of nowhere, but he returns her stolen cash box, too, the same prince charming who appeared in her Tarot reading, her Prince of Cups, who she’ll be surprised to eventually discover is a REAL prince in the shape-shifter House of Terriot. Is it the after-effects of the attack or the thrill of attraction that has Phe’s head spinning as the scene continues.
Kip Terriot smiled, dimple seducing as he explained, “I was on my way back to thank you for the information. Lucky, huh?”
More than luck . . . fate.
“Think you can stand up?”
The way her heart was knocking and her head went light, she wasn’t sure but she nodded because it brought his palms to cup her elbows, lifting with surprising strength until they were bumping one another, her long skirt sweeping his shoes, her knees trembled against his as her dreamy stare lifted.
Longish hair was tucked behind his ears where the flash from his stud earrings blinded—diamonds, big ones.
Who was this guy, her rescuer, her hero, her knight in shining 2-carats?
“Can I drive you home?”
And put an end to this suddenly glorious evening?
“No,” Ophelia began then, as his expression fell, she added, “but you can walk me to a little place a few blocks up because I feel the need for tequila.”
What’s the hardest thing about writing a series where the storylines overlap? Keeping that darn timeline in sequence. If you’ve bumped heads with the same issue, how have you dealt with it? There’s got to be an easier way than thumbing through previous books every time a question in continuity raises its ugly head. Was it in Book 1 or 2? Or the prequel? Or was it all in a dream? My heroine’s not the only one who’s light headed!
