Snippet Sunday: Look into my eyes…The Gryphon and His Thief @KMNbooks #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday

Snippet Sunday Sit back RelaxWelcome to Snippet Sunday. I thought I’d change it up a little this week. I have a new release! So this is a snippet from The Gryphon and His Thief.

If you missed the last weeks snippet from The Gryphon & His Thief, here’s the link. Chapter 3 #2  :)

Set up: Calli awakes to find Darrien in her room. Darrien believes Calli is his wife reincarnated and he has another chance to keep her safe, but Calli thinks he’s a little off. If she only knew…

*The excerpt was modified to fit the 8 sentence limit. There are a few long sentences. :)

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

He tilted his head to the side, keeping his calm and she might have believed he accomplished the feat, but then his eyes glowed like green fire. “You truly do not remember me then?” he asked again.

She was still hung up on his eyes changing colors and it took her a moment to realize he asked her a question. “No, whack-job, I don’t know you. Unless you believed our introduction at the museum was a start of a beautiful friendship.”

His lips pursed and his nose flared, probably due to the name-calling. Maybe she should give that a rest. She had no idea what she was dealing with, but if the man thought it was okay to taser her, it couldn’t be good.
***********************************************************

Calli believes their jolt of electricity had been Darrien tasering her. She’s in for a big surprise when she realizes only their touch ignited the spark. And what’s up with Darrien’s eyes? She hasn’t put it all together that Darrien is a Gryphon shifter. Wanna bet it won’t take her too long to figure it out?  :)

Some Treasures are Priceless…

A long time ago, a Gryphon shifter’s duty was to guard and protect the people of the tribes, but Darrien Andros failed to keep his human wife safe from harm. Cursed for the crime, he must guard everything in the Museum of Cursed Antiquities forever, never to truly live and never to die. Centuries have passed, but when he encounters a thief, who uncannily resembles his dead wife, he is convinced he has a second chance.

Calli Angelis is hired to steal Hecate’s Stone from the Museum, believing she would be returning it to its rightful owner. She never really trusted the person who hired her and now Darrien makes her doubt her motives, too. He also has her questioning the possibility of reincarnation when the attraction between them ignites into something she can no longer ignore.

As the two work together to unravel the mysteries behind the stone, it becomes apparent an old and dangerous enemy from Darrien’s past is determined to have history repeat itself.

  1. She’s a savvy woman, she is!

    I love the thought processes of your characters, Karen—they’re so logical and the flow is excellent! 🙂

  2. “No, whack-job, I don’t know you…” Her voice is powerful, cuts through all his explanations, and hits the mark. A modern woman facing off with a medieval human/gargoyle/man with a penchant for making demands. Great snippet.

  3. I like her ‘voice’, and also that you’ve made it challenging for him to convince her who she is and who he is, and what their history was. Nobody’s just falling into the other person’s arms here! A really intriguing story going on…
