Those heartbreakers!
They’re
too handsome. Too smooth. Too irresistible. Women
flock to them like fish to bait.
In
my book Remedy Maker, I have a side character named Aleksander who’s an
undeniable Heartbreaker. Tall, dark, and handsome only defines his outer self.
Fearless,
sexual, and Centaur define the rest of him. Warrior Extraordinaire might be
better.
A gorgeous
dark-haired Centaur, with equally handsome dark eyes, leaned his arms on the
back of the sofa, resting his chin in his palm.
“Well, hello
sweet-thing. What’s your name?”
Patience gripped
the edge of the blanket, its soft weave a thin barrier from prying eyes. She
peered out, keeping her face half hidden.
His long fingers
stroked an immaculate goatee, framing perfect white teeth when he smiled. Links
of thick gold chain circled his tanned neck and swung with his movements.
“Leave her alone,
Alek. She’s my . . . patient.” Rhy closed the front door harder than necessary
and crossed the room in long strides. His brows pinched over his eyes, as he
checked to make sure she remained fully covered. Facing the sorrel-colored
Centaur, he crossed his arms and inclined his head. “Let’s talk in the
kitchen.”
Alek’s smile
grew, but he made no sign of straightening. Double rows of barbed-wire tattoos
wound around his right bicep and jumped when he pumped the muscle. “I don’t
think so.” He winked and pointed with his chin. “If he’s just your remedy
maker, why’s your pretty face turning red, sweetheart?”
Cheeks burning,
Patience yanked the blanket over her head with a squeak. Alek’s laughter
ensued, followed by hoof beats moving toward the kitchen.
***
Look
for the story of Aleksander, coming soon in
Troll-y Yours.
Before
you leave, tell me if you’ve ever had your heart stolen by a Heartbreaker.
Thank you for coming today!

Man
by day, Centaur by night, Rhycious is a remedy maker who needs his own healing.
He's the royal
physician, famous for his cures. War and posttraumatic stress disorder has
broken his spirit, preventing him from finding true happiness. Then a direct
order from the queen to investigate an uprising forces him out of his secluded
cabin at the edge of the forest.
Patience
is an optimistic, good-natured Wood Nymph who works
as a mediator to ensure harmony within the Nymph sector.
Environmental
pollution in the aquifer stream that feeds the taproot tree of her heart is
slowly killing her. Resigned to the fact she will not live long, she sets out
to discover the mysterious disappearance of her sister. Experience has taught
her to deny herself the love of a male, but the gruff Centaur is different. He
doesn't push his expectations on her, only his healing nature.
When Rhycious loses his grip on reality, he believes his
inability to control his disorder will drive Patience away. Nevertheless,
desire flares, and Patience draws him close. Kidnapping and betrayal turn their
mythic joint venture into a deadly bout.
Will their love endure when survival hinges on trusting
each other?
You books sound VERY interesting! Centaurs and Trolls? Sweet. authorangelicadawson at gmail.com

I'm so excited about Troll-y Yours! I LOVED Remedy Maker. Can't wait for Aleksander's story.
ReplyDeleteMy heart was stolen by a heartbreaker. I was lucky, though. He decided to keep it and nourish it for the last 35 years! I'm such a lucky woman!

ReplyDeletekaylyndavis1986@yahoo.com
Heartbreakers are like bad boys..every woman should experience at least one just for the memories that make us smile, and to make us truly appreciate the ones who DON'T break our heart!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Sheri!

I think everyone goes through their bad boy stage. I did in college and my heart was definitely broken. My hubby (best friend at the time) was there to pick up the pieces and we've been together ever since (over 20 years).

ReplyDeletevampiremistress2010(at)gmail(dot)com
Oh, definitely. I don't any girl that hasn't I loved this book in middle school and he was a definite heartbreaker. We never got involved then, but years and years later (graduated college later), we met up and hooked up. He then stole money from me and locked me out of his apartment the next morning. (I found out later that he had a significant drug habit.) Anyways, I didn't take it lying down. I called the cops on him and then showed up at his workplace demanding my money back.

I love heartbreakers cause they are fun to love. I prefer a heartthrob cause he is in it for the long haul.

I love both but lean toward the Heartbreakers. Bad Me! My favorite heartbreaker is the one that your heart can’t live without. One of my best is Lucas from D B Reynolds book “Lucas” (Vampire in America series). Strong mind, well put together and tender when he needs to be.

Yes but I've since realized what is the world was I thinking?!
ReplyDeletefencingromein at hotmail dot com
Interesting excerpt!
ReplyDeleteI define a heartbreaker as someone who does it deliberately. So while I've had my heart broken, I wouldn't say it was by a heartbreaker. Those are ones I love in fiction, but not so much in real life.

Of course... but I'm having distance from that kind of heartbreakers now :)

My heart was broken as a teenager. I learned about myself from it too. Now that I am way older I know what to look for in love...LOL

My heart's been broke by a heartbreaker...
ReplyDeleteatthemapletable at yahoo dot com
Luckily I've never had my heartbroken by a heartbreaker. I have been together with my first and only boyfriend for over 8 years now and we are getting married on April 6th of this year. I have helped various people get through there terrible heartbreaks though. I dont want to even think about anything happening between me and my fiance, because how deeply it would hurt. So I really do sympathize with those who have had their hearts broken.
