The Soul Within
by Nancy
Adams
About the Novel:
Alex’s
body is in a coma. His soul, however, is not. Desperate to become whole, he
must first convince stubborn beauty Evening Sinclair that he is not dead.
For
generations, the Sinclairs have been healers. Using a gentle touch to heal the
body and a soothing word to heal the soul, Evening Sinclair is no different.
Yet despite her secret abilities, Eve has a somewhat normal existence. She
enjoys her small physiotherapy practice, dotes on her eight-year-old daughter
and occasionally helps souls get back into their bodies-that is until Alex,
with his brooding good looks and glowing eyes, appears in her kitchen.
Alex
is desperate to get back into his body-two innocent lives depend on it. His
only obstacle is Eve and her stubborn fear. Unfortunately for Eve, Alex is
ruthless and just as stubborn. He will do whatever it takes to get what he
wants. He will not 'go away' and no matter how much Eve tortures him with her
lush body and perfect mouth, he will not change his mind. Eve will merge him,
and if it takes him haunting her day and night, she will merge him back with a
body-any body.
Excerpt:
“Go. Please,” she implored again. The look on
her face caused him to frown. Not because she had recited those words, yet
again, to him but because he was actually considering giving her what she
wanted and leaving her alone. He wished he could give her that, but he
wouldn’t. Besides, he didn’t like it when people lied to him and she was lying.
She was capable of putting him back into his body—he read it on her face, in
the movement of her hands and body.
The
Guardian Project had spent long hours and millions of dollars teaching their soldiers
how to read and interrupt body language. After all, if the people he hunted
were on his kill list, they’d been good enough to avoid traditional police and
military forces and he had to be better in order to stop them.
Deep
in his gut he knew there was more—she wasn’t telling him the whole truth. Shit
she wasn’t really telling him anything. It didn’t matter—he would not walk away
just because Eve was scared. He would not let Miles kill Jillian. She and her
baby would live.
He
shook his head. “No.”
She
closed her eyes and drew a deep breath. “I won’t help you.”
“Yes you will.” He took a step closer to her.
“And I’m going to haunt you until you give me what I want.”
“Haunt me.” Her eyes grew wide as a shiver
shook her from head to toe.
“Mmm.” He winked. “I’m not leaving your side
until you put me back in my body.”
Heavy
footsteps echoed on the front porch.
“No,” she whispered, her eyebrows pressed
together. “I won’t help you.”
“Yes. You. Will.”
Nancy’s
addiction for a good trash novel began in her late-teens when her grandmother
gave her a bag of Harlequin Romance books. She was hooked and spent the next
few years lurking in the dark corners of used bookstores searching for her next
fix. Until, one marriage and two kids later, her own ideas had her jumping up
at 3 am (much to her husband’s annoyance) and typing them into her laptop.
Beside her husband and children, Nancy has three passions, rearranging
furniture, buying bed linens and, of course, writing. Nancy lives in Eastern
Ontario with her family and two over sized lap dogs.

ReplyDeleteMomJane!
DeleteThanks much.
The main characters were so much fun to write. Evening is stubborn but for good reason(s)*wink wink* and Alex has a delicious dark side to him.
Thanks very much for having me today!
