Summer Fae series. I’m finishing up the edits on BLOODLINES the second in the series. This series begins with an apocalypse caused by tampering with the yearly flu. Our heroine’s ex-bf was involved and now sits in jail in the Otherworld.
So what does an elf feeling claustrophobic in her cabin do for the day? She goes shopping at the country store her ex-boyfriends’ parents run. With a goblin. Yep, seems right to me. (Edited)
Matthew’s mother wept the first time Tessa came in for food a few days after they reopened. There were no words for twenty minutes while Tessa lost herself in a welcoming hug. His mother said, “I’m so sorry little one, you are welcome at our home and in our store at any time.”
Tessa’s face was red and swollen as she thanked her for the wonderful offer and then filled her in on the new additions to her family. His mom took Rusty to her huge kitchen and showed him around. He returned with a huge goblin grin and five new grilling aprons to wear.
So now we know where Rusty got his witty little aprons.
Remember to check out the rest of the SixSunday sentences offered this week.
