My novel How Do You Spell Love? is on sale today with the book available for just 77p on Amazon.
It's a contemporary romance with a twist - there's a spot of magic in the air and it's looking as though a love spell may have gone horribly wrong...
Here's a short extract, taken from a scene between Summer and Tom, in the shed on her Yorkshire allotment....
“So, how was your
weekend with your parents?” Tom asked as he settled into a deckchair, looking
every bit at home in her allotment shed. Even in a suit.
“It was good,” replied
Summer, her back to him as she filled the little kettle from the bottle of
mineral water she’d brought with her, searching for matches to light the small
bottled gas stove. Now they were both here, alone within the cramped confines of
the shed, she felt awkward.
“Summer.”
She jumped and tried to
turn to face him. It was then that she realised he was close. Very close.
Standing right behind her in fact.
“Summer,” he repeated.
“Yes,” she just managed
to utter.
“Is there anything
between us?” For a few seconds he was silent and Summer held her breath. “Or at
least the potential for something between us?”
So. The moment of
truth. Summer could ignore the fact no more.
“Summer?”
Her back still to him,
she replied, “Yes, there’s something.”
Would now be a good time to admit about
Rob leaving? But Tom was still with Lucy, wasn’t he? If she admitted she was no
longer in a relationship but he still was…
Before she could say
anything else she felt his arms slip slowly around her waist, she felt him lean
in close, a gentle kiss on her neck. Part of her screeched that this wasn’t
right – she’d only just split from Rob and hadn’t, for want of a better phrase,
yet achieved closure on their relationship. She wasn’t even sure how she felt
about him leaving yet. Was she upset? Relieved? A bit of both perhaps?
Tom kissed her again,
this time on the opposite side of her neck. The goodie-goodie voice in her head
continued to shout, this is wrong, this is wrong. He’s involved. It’s too soon.
She chose to ignore the
voice and turned in his arms, meeting his lips, kissing them hungrily. After a
few moments he led her across to one of the chairs and gently pulled her down
onto his lap.
“There’s something you
should know,” Tom said quietly.
