Exert: After a brief pause to kick off their shoes, Jason threw the ball to Reece who padded it from hand to hand for a second before he turned to face the two girls. "So, Sierra, have you ever played American touch-football before?" "Nope, but I know what it is. I'm a bit fuzzy on the rules, but I'm pretty good at handling balls..." Sierra replied with a mischievous sparkle in her eyes, and a deliberate emphasis on the last word to let the guys know that she'd meant it to have some flirtatious innuendo. Reece choked with surprise and Jason seemed to freeze in place. She could have sworn that Michael's skin actually changed colour. All three men seemed completely caught off guard by her choice of words. Sara burst out laughing and leaned on Sierra for support as though her legs might give out from under her if she couldn't contain her mirth soon. "Oh my word, that was priceless! I think you're my new best friend!" she remarked, wiping moisture from her eyes between convulsions of laughter. ------------------------- Werewolves aren't real, right? That's what Sierra Basson had always believed. Yet the moment she met Jason Chee, with his charming dimples and gorgeous, golden gaze, her instincts immediately forbid her to touch him. It was as if the moment their skin made contact, her entire life would change forever. Powerless against the lure of attraction, what starts off as a friendship soon starts to escalate. Then everything goes horribly wrong one night when Sierra's nightmares unexpectedly become the basis of a new, mind-blowing reality. Terrified, vulnerable and a victim of her own body, Sierra discovers the hard way that she has a nasty little secret of her own... 'Touched' is a quirky, fun-filled, paranormal adventure that will surprise you at every turn. This is the first book in the Skinwalker Series. Please feel free to comment, rate a
