- Check out my stunning cover inspiration for my dark and gritty new adult urban fantasy with cursed dragon shifters (right beside this paragraph) designed by the talented Danielle Fine!!!
- Twitter pitch for Becoming: After a transplant gives Zoe a dragon shifter’s heart, she learns that her online boyfriend is her donor and...a girl.
♥Today I'm sharing snippet #7 from the Becoming prequel titled Longing (unedited and in Taylor's POV)! Read Snippets here: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5, #6. Excited for y'all to get to know my dragons better :)
Longing - Chapter 1 (snippet #7)...
“We can find another girl. Make it a party. Or I can just wat—”
“No,” she snapped.
“So it’s just over then?” His voice had an edge to it. “I thought we had something special?”
She nodded. “I… I hoped we had. I didn’t want to hurt you. You’re a good person.”
“Fine.” He turned away and walked back to the bed. “Rich, bitch,” he mumbled as he crawled back under the covers. “Get out.” Icy pricks pimpled her skin. The sunlight coming in through the window began to darken as her vision dulled. Colors faded as anger pulsed through her veins.
How dare he speak to me like that, the beast bellowed in her mind. End him.
