Excerpt
Kicking
off her white sandals, she descended a set of wooden stairs and stepped onto
the sand. It squished between her toes, damp and still warm from the heat of
the afternoon. The moon shone over the water, gleaming in the waves pulling
toward the shore.
She
stood at the water’s edge. The current sucked at her toes, burying them in
sand, and she absorbed the soothing sounds of nature. She tipped her head back
and closed her eyes. Perfect.
For
a moment, she flashed back to her childhood. Not the endless summers she’d
spent with the Randolphs. Earlier than that, long before her father’s death. A
memory floated out of her grasp, on the edges of her subconscious but always
moving away from her.
The
water surrounded her ankles, the tendrils of the tide resembling a caress. As
if someone touched her.
She
opened her eyes, startled by the sensation.
A
particularly large wave crashed around her legs. Thrown off-balance by the
unexpected surge, she stumbled a bit until she regained her footing. Whatever
memory she’d been chasing fled, replaced by the shock of the water splashing
against her knees.
She
returned her attention to the water. It eddied around her, the glow of the
moonlight reflected in the tiny swirls of liquid. Bending down, she touched the
surface and a jolt of energy poured through her. She lurched backward just as
another wave crashed against her.
Weird.
She moved closer to the shore, not afraid of the ocean but concerned by her
reaction to it. Something wasn’t right.
The
cry of a seagull jerked her back to the present. She glanced down and grimaced
at the soaked bottom half of her dress. She didn’t mind as much as she should.
At least the delightfully cool water eased some of the oppressive heat of the
day.
The
breeze, which had been strong all day, caressed her bare shoulders and ruffled
her hair. She lifted her arms and twirled, letting out a tiny sound of
pleasure.
At
the end of her twirl, she caught sight of a figure standing alone on the patio.
The moonlight wasn’t needed for her to recognize Drake. No one else had such a
commanding presence. He tugged at her heart like the ocean’s current tugged at
her ankles.
