Welcome back for another peek at my Christmas fantasy, Ground Rules, just released by The Wild Rose Press.
Alice wakes up and finds a tall, hunky blond guy in her kitchen, rummaging through her liquor cabinet. She hurls a succession of objects at him, to no avail:

At his wave, a wall of light caught each item and held it. The bizarre sight of her belongings drifting in sparkles like dust motes in sunlight made her head spin. Clenching her fists at her sides, she released a primal scream of terror.
From behind the curtain of light, he shot her a scowl. “What are you screaming for? Your liquor cabinet’s practically empty, and I haven’t had a drink in decades.”
Have a great week!

Not ahd a drink in decades - hey - he's entitled!

Loved his voice! I don't blame him for scowling if he hadn't had a drink in decades. Fantastic six.
Love this. So vivid and descriptive.
Great descriptions...and I have so many questions. Can't wait to read what's next!
Your use of imagery is wonderful. I could picture the scene clearly. And the male character's voice. Screams of a man used to controlling things. And definitely one in need of a good drink:-)
Wonder how old he really is, if he hasn't had a drink in decades.
Ooh intriguing!
I love how he's so laid back about it all!
