The Soul Within
by Nancy
Adams
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
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.

“I can feel you touch me.” Alex raised his
head, a half smile on his face.
Her
eyes met his. “You do?”
He
nodded. “Again.”
This
time, she started at his shoulders and ran her hands down the entire length of
his arms to his hands, where she made an attempt to clasp them in her own.
“How are you doing this?”
“I don’t know? How can you feel me?”
He
chuckled. “I don’t know?”
Staring
down at their hands she asked. “What do you feel?”
“It’s like when your foot falls asleep and you
get that ‘pins and needles’ sensation, mixed with a warm tingling.”
Eve
met Alex’s stare. “You’re really not dead.”
He
studied her intently. “Is that why you won’t help me, because you think I’m
dead?”
Embarrassed,
she turned away. “I thought you might be and that you were having trouble…moving
on.”
“Moving
on?” he repeated. She heard him exhale in a huff but didn’t want to face him
yet. “Eve?” He used her name to get her attention but she didn’t budge.
“Evening.” This time her name was said with more force.
Her
cheeks were warm when she faced him. She expected him to be annoyed but he only
showed concern. “Do you see the dead too?”
“No. Never, just medians. My mother did, I
thought maybe it had started for me too. It was the only explanation I could
come up with as to why you were still hanging around me.” Her throat felt like
it was beginning to close up with the thought of it, but she asked him anyway.
“Have you seen…them…out there?”
AUTHOR Bio and Links:
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.
