Isabelle Walks Right In to Danger

Weekend Writing Warriors 8 Sentence Sunday!!

I wanted to share a small burb from my most recent published book, The Key to Helmbrooke.  If you haven't read it yet, this scene is where Isabelle is traipsing through the darkened woods, determined to make her way to the queen's castle.  Without anyone to guide her or protect her, one wrong step brings her right into the arms of a dangerous stranger:
~~~~
“Please,” a woman’s voice whispered.

Zander let her go and whirled her around to face him, one hand tight on her arm. His eyes widened with surprise, for just a moment.  He had not expected a young girl.  For a split second, he was mesmerized by her eyes, striking at the chords of his heart.  They were filled with fear, wide with surprise.  He gave his head a quick shake breaking the stare.

“What are you doing here?” Zander growled at her.

If you would like to read the entire book, simply head over to Amazon and grab it HERE.

If you'd like a FREE copy, in exchange for an HONEST review, I would greatly appreciate it.  Send me an email at JaynWilde AT gmail. com and I can send it over to you.
