Six Sentence Sunday Fleeing Fate

I can't believe this is already the last Sunday in June! Or that Fleeing Fate, book one in the Unveiled Seductions series and the first of the Pricked series books from Ellora's Cave, will be released in less that two weeks!! I'm so excited I can hardly wait.
This week, a glimpse of Jakuta's heartbreak...


“Your goddess watch over you, sweetness.”
He couldn’t manage any more than that and Gràinne didn’t seem to have anything to say in response. After a brief hesitation, she raised one hand in farewell and disappeared in a swirl of powerful magic.
He’d known, he reminded himself, that if she were once more whole, complete, with all emotions intact, what she felt for him would fade.
The knowledge didn’t ease the agony tearing at his heart. Blind, deafened by the enormity of his loss, Jakuta transported himself away from the Midnight Café, not sure he would ever be able to return.

  2. Ooh, intriguing. And I'm curious to see how tattoos play into this story, since it's part of the Pricked theme. Great six, Anya :)

  4. He's such a big, strong guy too... :( Sometimes I hate having to put my guys through the black moment, but without it, where's the book, right?
