From Victorian novella, Mischief at Mulberry Manor by Romy Gemmell - mystery and romance for Twelfth Night!

“The brother and sister are very interested in contacting those unrest spirits who should have long departed this world,” Richard Carmichael whispered to Maryanne as she started to rise, “and it is one of the reasons for their visit here.”
Hearing the open amusement in his voice, Maryanne glanced at his face and was relieved to find his expression matched his scathing tones. At least one sensible voice could be relied upon to keep them focused on the real world.

In The Bear Goddess, my hero is a centaur who can take human shape. Thanks for letting me share my snippet.

Raising one eyebrow, he asked, “Why are you giving me that questioning look?”
She raised both of her eyebrows. “When were you going to tell me you are a centaur?”
He crossed his arms over his wide chest. “Never.”

“It wasn’t your fault, either. It’s hard to explain. I lost control of the horse. And then I got into a terrible place, and I lost control of myself.” She smiled weakly. “But I’m alive. I’ve survived worse.” Traci squeezed his hand. “Please don’t blame yourself. You didn’t do anything wrong.”

“So are you going to tell me about it? Somebody hurt you badly.” His fingers curled into a fist.

From Civil War romance, The Christmas Ball.

Dawn was fast approaching as Sara and the men with her scurried to secure as many wounded as they could before full daylight. She had no doubt the Rebels would resume fire then and all of them would be lost. She fingered the pistol tucked into the belt of her coat.

“This is the line, Angel,” Nick said, his throat moving hard to swallow whatever was making his voice rough. “Once we cross it, there’s no stopping; be sure.”
“I'm standing in front of you in nothing but my panties with my hand in your pants. Does it look like I want to stop?”
His hand slid into my hair and cupped the back of my neck, his thumb gently brushing my cheek. “I need to hear you say it. Tell me what you want.”

This is a snippet from my just released historical novel, Ashes & Ice, set in 1888 New York City. It's available on Amazon and at the publisher's web site.

"Stealin’ it, you mean." Moira brushed a limp strand of red hair off her sweating face with the back of her hand. "Give it to me, then, if you got it."
"Paid for the medicine. I ain’t crazy enough to steal from Alice. She’d turn me into a toad."
