Book Excerpt:
“I have a theory as to why you keep denying me,” he said. His eyes seemed to glow even more as he leaned closer to her, the heat from his body touching hers. Her back was against the wall, and she pushed herself against the cool surface, trying to create some distance between them, but he followed her, bending his mouth towards her ear.
“I think it is a futile attempt to put me out of your mind,” he said softly. “I think the memory of me pursues you at every turn, just as yours does me. Am I right?”
No, Cathryn wanted to scream, but she could not make the falsehood form on her lips. Instead she stared at him mutely as he watched her.
“I thought so,” he said, with a note of satisfaction.

Book Excerpt:
“You look ….lovely!” he said, falsely, staring at my floor length grey skirt and shirt buttoned up to my neck. I’d pulled my hair into a tight knot at the back of my head and scrubbed my face clean of make-up.
“I thought I’d better dress appropriately,” I said, lowering my eyes and letting my cheeks blush at his compliment.
“Well, that’s really …considerate of you,” he said, throwing the broken cup into the bin and draping the towel over the sink.
“Shall we go?” he asked, offering me his hand.
“Ahem!” I looked him up and down, my hands clasped in front of me.
“What’s wrong?” he asked, moving toward me.
“I don’t think you’re appropriately dressed, do you?” I said, looking at him primly.
He looked down at his loin cloth. “This is what all of the angels wear,” he said, confused. “It’s not inappropriate!”
