Phantom Desire
by Houston
Havens
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Mind
traveler Chandra Lamar is on the run, not only from her post-catastrophic
dystopian government but from a past she can’t remember. A psychic vision
pushes her to recall her purpose for being, but it’s a ghost that awakens her
desires for a life she fears she’ll never have. Both push her to remember the
past because it threatens what she wants in the now; the Nodin men.
Andonis
Nodin battles to accept his failures. The heavy burden nearly breaks him when
he can’t save a loved one from the grim reaper’s grip and questions his desire
for Chandra, the woman he blames for the death around him.
Nikias
finds true love with Chandra in his arms, but is desperate to stop her from
seeking revenge on a mission he knows is a one way trip.
Ortello
knows for them to recapture the love they once felt for each other, he must be
willing to let her go. But overcoming his obsession to make Chandra his and his
alone isn’t easy.
Will
Chandra go through with the vengeance in her heart or give it up for love? Who
is the powerful woman in her haunting visions and will those revealing
apparitions crumble her world with the Nodin clan? Does Chandra find true love
in the arms of the Nodin men or does her Phantom Desire forever own her heart?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT:
It was clear he’d guessed her intensions and sought to
protect his head from any flying objects coming his way.
“You’re not going, Chandra,” he said from behind the door.
“Final word as your husband.”
****
Nikias stood in the hall listening to all the commotion. He
backed up at his brother’s quick exit from the room. A loud thump and then a
crash splattered against the closed door. Andonis looked at him with a devilish
twinkle in his eye. “Do you think she’s angry with me?”
He felt his brow pull up in amusement. “Just a little.
She’ll be even angrier when she finds out you lied about the common-law thing.”
He pressed his brow into a tight pinch.
Andonis moved like lightning down the hall.
“Where are you escaping to?” Nikias followed him to the
foyer. He watched as Andonis grabbed a shirt and slipped it on while stepping
out the front door.
“To have a word with Logan. Keep her busy until I get back.”
“Andonis! Please don’t do this.” He threw his hands up in a
pleading gesture. “Don’t leave me with an angry woman who’s seven inches taller
than me.”
“You’ll be fine.” He vanished around the corner of the
house.

science fiction, paranormal fantasy, western romance, and always love
everlasting. An author of six romances, a seven book erotic romance series and

Enjoyed the excerpt, laughed when I read the line about not to leave him with an angry woman who is seven inches taller than him.
ReplyDeleteJean! So glad to hear that...that's exactly what I was hoping the reader would do. I love to spike my tales with a few light moments to remember...lines like that also make the characters come alive and 'be real' to the readers (and to the author) ;-)
