If you missed the last weeks snippet from The Gryphon & His Thief, here’s the link. Chapter 1 #4 
Set up: Calli Angelis is trying to steal Hecate’s Stone … Darrien must stop her at all cost, but the thief is brave and seemingly fearless. This is chapter two with Darrien’s thoughts about Calli and her escape plans.
*The excerpt may be modified to fit the 8 sentence limit.
***********************************************************
Darrien stared in disbelief at the thief wearing a knit hat that covered her hair and most of her face. However, despite the attempt at a disguise, there was no mistaking the thief’s gender as female even before she spoke. Lovely green eyes with thick lashes peered at him over a petite nose, and her luscious lips demanded him to comply. If the features and the voice hadn’t given her gender away, the curves her dark fitting outfit displayed, certainly would have.
He knew for a fact his stance intimidated, but she faced him with courage and the determination of a warrior. Either she was mad, or braver than she ought to be. In the next second, he had his answer. She was absolutely nutty.
***********************************************************
Darrien has obviously never come across such a thief. lol Stop by next week to find out if Darrien foils Calli’s attempt to escape.
I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek at The Gryphon and His Thief.

Blurb:
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.
