Book Hooks is a blog hop set up by Marketing For Romance Writers. Here’s my excerpt for my paranormal romance novel Keeper of the Grove for today. Stacy’s getting a little fed up with this search for the truth that she’s on. Luckily, Aaron is there to help bolster her…ahem, well? You’ll see.
“I’m wasting my time reading a damned diary.”
Her breath hitched in her chest as she pouted down at her crossed arms. “An artifact that likely means nothing!”
She didn’t look up, but out of her peripheral vision, she saw Aaron slide out of his seat and move to her side. His strong, warm arm went around her. “I promise you, Stacy, it’s going to be all right. If you can only trust me, everything will turn out fine.”
He skimmed a gentle thumb across her cheek, wiping away an errant tear.
He smelled wonderful, and made her long for the beach at night and soothing calm
waters. She became momentarily mesmerized looking into his caring, gray eyes.
She didn’t want to do anything except go straight back home to bed. With him. “Maybe we should go.”

Stacy Macken has one goal in mind: saving her renowned history center from greedy creditors. Losing it would be a catastrophe—one she doesn’t know how she’ll avoid.
Until Aaron Fielding arrives. To all human eyes, he is just like any man, but he reminds Stacy of one of the fae. He certainly enchants her like a fae lover would.
But Stacy suspects there is more to this sexy fellow, with his tales of the Tuatha dé Danann, and magical warriors from Celtic legend who protect humanity from a wicked enemy seeking their destruction. Does his appearance mean the end of the world imminent?
Can she, a studious woman more intent on history books with no training in or love of war, possibly have anything to offer when a long-prophesied druidic battle explodes around her?
