Whenever I thought about him, every molecule of my being would ache with helpless longing, as sharp as broken glass on defenseless flesh. I wanted to wipe him from my memory--no I wanted to savor them--grasp them to me tightly, hiding behind closed doors while swallowing my tears along with endless bottles of wine.
Calen Bryn.
His eyes are the deep greenish blue hue of glittering aquamarines under the Aegean Sea, knowing and beautiful. Sensually tilted down just a bit at the corners, they could beg, beguile or gleam with laughter in a way that few would be able to resist.
I often thought that those eyes were more expressive in simply one glance than most people could be if they were to write an entire novel.
Perhaps it wasn't so much the beauty but the complicated mix of sadness in those eyes that I was drawn to. As pragmatic and sunny as I have been my entire life, I have come to understand that there is a tandem pull of dark night within me, a fateful fascination with things that could only hurt me in the end.
***********************************************************************************************
When you long for something that you can't have, it can lead you down dangerous paths. When Emma meets Calen Bryn, she instinctively knows that he's bad news. She is married--the only sane thing to do was run the other way. He was far too beautiful of a creature for her peace of mind.
But you can't run from yourself. And Calen Bryn had no intention of letting her go so easily.

Against his will
It's been two years since he has gone to study abroad. I still remember the day I came to live in this house after my parent's death. I still remember the day when he suddenly came into my room. I was looking at him with shocked eyes because of his actions. He locked the door and started coming in my direction. I knew that I was in danger but I can't move my body. Bloody hell, my body was held by the cold gaze of his blue sea-colored eyes. With long steps, he was coming towards me, and in a flash of seconds, he was in front of me. He grabbed my hair making me look into his eyes, my eyes were close afraid of meeting his cold star but the next word from his mouth made my eyes short open. "Who was that man Jane with whom you were laughing and talking answer me. Who was he," he shouted in anger. I took in his appearance his jaw was clenched and his eyes were burning in anger. H-e-he saw me with him. I knew I was in danger. Now, what should I do was the big question for me. Warm tears filled my eyes ready to slip out from the corner of my eyes by remembering that day.

Excerpt: I pitied the man, although with so many cops around him, he was quite dangerous. Who needed 30 police officers to supervise one guy who in handcuffs and leg shackles? I watched him walk down the gauntlet between the rows of officers. It was as if I couldn't look away. He paused and looked around. His brilliant glowing blue eyes seemed to meet mine across the vast distance. I couldn't even blink as his eyes seemed to hold mine. The trees of a park broke our locked gaze as the bus kept on driving. I took a deep breath, suddenly realizing that I had stopped breathing the moment our eyes met. I had never seen such blue eyes before-and they glowed! A shiver ran through me. I had been too far away to make out the color of the man's eyes. My eyes watched the trees, hoping for a break in them so I could see the man again. I had no such luck. --- Fade-to-black action fantasy romance Copyright November 2017.

Especially not like you." He gave me a glare as if the mere sight of me disgusted him. "Who would want a mate like you anyways, huh? You're ugly, nerdy, clingy, way-too-innocent and being with you will DESTROY my social reputation." Listening to those words shattered my Wolf and she howled in pain.
