✨EXCERPT: SHELTER FROM THE STORM by @maricarrauthor releasing June 17th!
#PreOrderHere
When Gretchen placed her hand in his, Theo felt as if he’d been struck by lightning. The Earth tilted on its axis and a large part of him was shocked he managed to remain on his feet.
He tightened his grip, trying to calm her trembling—and now his own—even though the connection of their hands lingered past the normal length of time for a handshake.
If Theo had his way, he’d never let go.
Gretchen held his gaze, a multitude of emotions crossing her face, too many for Theo to take in. All he knew was that he wanted to understand every single one of them. Wanted to know why she looked scared, confused, sad, intrigued, regretful, determined, and even hopeful. It was all there, reflected in those beautiful blue eyes of hers.
“Gretchen,” he murmured, needing to feel her name on his lips again, smiling down at the slim, gorgeous woman, who stared back at him looking slightly startled.
Did she feel it too?
Suddenly, he recalled the story his father had often told about the first time he’d met Theo’s mother, the way he’d known in an instant that Mom was the woman he was going to marry.
Then he remembered a more recent conversation between him and Levi, who’d sworn he’d known the second he touched Kasi that she was meant to be his.
Theo had been amused by the story, even though he’d discounted it. Because that wasn’t how love worked.
Or so he’d thought.
Right now, though.
In this moment.
It was just as Levi had said.
Love at first touch.
Well…
This was inconvenient.
