Today I'm sharing from my (unpublished) young adult paranormal romance Running From Shadows, currently being read by a lovely agent!! Squee!!
Follow
Greta Shore (a 17-year-old, black-haired wiccan beauty) and Paxton
"Pax" Craig (an 18-year-old, blond-haired college student
with a dark secret) as they discover the fate of their forbidden love.
****
(Read last week's post) Set-up... Pax has told Greta that he's a unicorn. A unicorn!!! So, of course, Greta is all: sure, yeah, whatever... Prove it! She needs more than talk of ancient legends, and she's playin' her card! Let's see how well it works out...

Touched the handle.
Opened it.
Glancing over my shoulder, I saw him. Unmoved.
“I’m watching.” He smiled.
Crap.
