She’s packing now… The Gryphon and His Thief #8sunday #snippetsunday #SPeekSunday @KMNbooks
Welcome to Snippet Sunday.
If you missed the last weeks snippet from The Gryphon & His Thief, here's the link.
Set up for this week: We're back to The Gryphon and His Thief.
Skipping ahead again.
Calli tells Darrien she'll look into Professor Leander's claims that the stone belongs to her company that has financed the archaeological dig. Darrien argues she is in danger if she keeps the stone, but Calli isn't listening anymore. Darrien is handcuffed to the bed and not going anywhere. So she's packing up to leave... or rather packing...

"What are you doing?" he asked.
"Never you mind," she told him as she pulled the gun free from under the table. She only kept a weapon on her for emergencies and to think she almost hadn't packed it for this assignment. The semi-auto was the Ruger LCP Revolver—lightweight, large enough to fit in her palm, but powerful enough to hold its own. This baby held five rounds. The perfect weapon for tight situations, just point and shoot.
"As you can see, I can take care of myself," she said and noticed his eyes were focused on her weapon and not her.
"Are you going to shoot me?" he asked as he shifted his gaze.

Do you think Calli will shoot Darrien? She couldn't be that cold, could she?
Thanks for stopping by!
Until next week, take care.

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.
