Michaela Grant travels to Scotland for a holiday, knowing this vacation is her last. A medical condition threatens her life and any chance of a future—until she meets Alan MacLachlin, a man forced to exist between two worlds.
Alan is the legendary Loch Ness Monster. Once every fifty years he returns to human form in search of his soul mate, the one woman who can break his curse. He believes he has found forever with Michaela, but to claim it he must figure out how to save her life.
Michaela and Alan vow to take what time has to offer, but another threat looms. A sinister shape shifter with a vendetta against Alan is making Loch Ness his personal hunting ground. Now he’s threatening Michaela. Alan must discover who the shifter is and stop him before it’s too late.
The scene: This takes place a few paragraphs from last week's snippet #7. The water spirits have flooded the valley and Druid Daly arrives to confront the person responsible for allowing the spirits to escape. Gordana faces Druid Daly to explain what happened at the well.
***************************************************************************************
“My son was playin’ near the fire, and I feared for his life. I...must have forgotten to replace the lid over the well. I’m so, so sorry.”
Druid Daly remained silent for so long, the clan’s murmurs stilled. Alan wondered if Druid Daly had not heard his sister’s plea for forgiveness, but then the Druid’s expression changed. A gasp from someone in the crowd made Gordana lift her head to look at the druid. She took a step back, but hands from behind her pushed her forward, preventing her from retreating.
Druid Daly’s light blue eyes blazed with fury, making them look like shards of broken glass. “Ye forgot?”
***************************************************************************************
Druid Daly does not seem pleased, does he? Like always, I would love to know your thoughts about the snippet.
