Click in the rainbow to be transported to a place of wonder where you will find tasters of everything from sweet romance, to hot and steamy, to fantasy and sci fi
I’m continuing on with The Runaway. I’m very fond of this book, especially because a dear friend painted the cover image for me and I think it’s absolutely beautiful, just like sweet Ciarrai. By the way that’s pronounced Kee-a-ree
Ciarrai is running away from a past that’s still breathing down his neck. Jack has no past, his memory wiped in the accident that killed his parents. They meet and their lives move forward like stones skimming the surface of the water, dipping into memories that want to surface and those that want to lie buried forever.
In this clip, Jack calls around unexpectedly to find Ciarrai cooking in the kitchen. That, in itself, wasn’t unusual but what Ciarrai was wearing certainly was
It was a multi-coloured silk kimono. Delicate flowers wound their way
along slender branches and cherry blossoms fell like rain. The silk sighed and
swayed as he moved, sliding over the curves of his body in a way that made Jack
feel tight. He’d caught up part of his hair and secured it with a silver clip at the
back of his head, while the rest fell in golden waves, swishing when he turned his
head. Jack bit his lip.
Ciarrai seemed taller, somehow, and it took a few minutes for Jack to
realise he was wearing feathered, black, high heeled slippers. Fucking shit.

What a great description. I love what he’s wearing and how it makes him seem both casual and sensual at the same time.
Thank you. Ciarrai certainly has a…er…striking dress sense and it takes Jack quite a bit of getting used to
I love the attention to the description here. It paints quite the picture…. from the hair to the heels.
Thank you. I’m glad it came across. I could see him so clearly…
Wow! Wonderful description!
Thank you
That was a beautiful description. Loved it.
Thank you. Ciarria is a beautiful boy and deserves it
Beautiful imagery underlaid with heat. (heart)
Oh, there’ll be plenty of heat later 😀
Great description but doesn’t sound very practical for cooking. Well, it wouldn’t be practical for me, at any rate.
Depends what you’re cooking. I would imagine that Ciarrai did the prep in normal clothes and “dressed for dinner” although he might have been dressed like that all day.
The words drew me in…I love you describe the way the material moved, the fall of his hair…beautiful.
Thank you
Beautiful description (and your cover captures is wonderfully)!
Thank you. My friend Maria Korte painted the picture for the cover. She’s so talented
Yeah. That’s an apt reaction, Jack. 😀
Hehe Jack doesn’t know what hit him. He stays like that for half the book 😀
Love the sensual description in this.
Thank you
Beautiful description.
Thank you
