With apologies to fans of "Portrait of Jennie" A romantic fantasy, or a fantasy romance? I hope you enjoy. Jb7 Jack Jeffries pulled into the driveway of the somewhat dilapidated farmhouse. Although the house was in dire need of paint, at least all the windows he could see were still intact. He stepped out of his Jeep and approached the house, digging in...
She sat across from him on the kitchen island, a haunted sadness darkening her eyes. He would give anything to take it away but he was powerless. The ice-cream had been reduced to muddy syrup she kept stirring at. He ached to see her so dejected when she had always been so vibrant, positive with an enchanting belief in the goodness of others. Countless time...
Shifting everyone aside, Caitlyn made room for her friend. The dinner went on as everyone engaged in chit-chat. Gao was silent, mostly listening. Andrew's eyes never left the small woman sitting at the table. He noticed that she did not eat. She pushed food around her plate. His wolf was concerned, but he'd tread carefully. He needed to know what he was faci...
"Lilly, honey... I'm not cheating on you... I want to marry you," Adam said after he knelt before her. In all the years I've known Lilly I'd never seen her at a loss for words. Her mouth fell open and she stared at Adam. At my side Nate shook with pent-up laughter. With a gasp, Lilly fell to her knees and threw her arms around Adam. "I'm so sorry," she c...
David had finally settled down in Newshire, a town in the south-east of England, shortly before his third encounter with Ruta. He had found a semi-permanent job in the form of working at a local comic book shop and the pay was decent enough that he could afford to rent out a cheap flat. It was not exactly luxury but it did its purpose well enough. Several mo...
"I traded in my white and blue squad car for a gray unmarked Ford Crown Victoria. I never really thought I would make detective some day. I was just too busy running around trying to keep this city safe to give it much thought...or even care." I drove my new car from the station straight home thinking about the big news. As I parked and started up the sta...
Chapter 1: The Homecoming The giant Boeing 747 rumbled to a stop at the end of the Reef Runway and turned to taxi toward the international terminal at Honolulu International Airport. Tawny looked out the window past her "sister", Ricki, to gaze at the sculptured green mountains she never tired of. Ricki turned to her, smiling, and gave her a little kiss on...
I am a martial artist, adept in the ancient and world-renowned form 'gung fu'. I had been attracted to the art when I came upon the fact that Bruce lee claimed it as his own. Though he later discredited in favour of his own created styles, by this time I had discovered that there were stronger and more skilled proprietors of the style in china. Therefore spu...
Hidden Hermazon Island Somewhere in the North Atlantic 2018 A.D. The sun shone warmly through the softly shimmering dome of the cloaking field onto the paradisal shores of Hidden Hermazon Island. The island's pristine jungles were teeming with exotic and beautiful animals the likes of which could not be seen anywhere else on earth. Dominating the forest s...
Ashley and I virtually grew up together. She is a year older than me. Our parents were friends and she was like my big sister. Usually this type of relationship fades when puberty starts, but that was unique about her. She is very loyal and caring. Not that she is a saint by any means. She is not easily influenced by outside sources or opinions of others. We...
