mystery man sends her to Eerie to find Atticus, she realizes just how much her
life has changed.
But could it be for the better?
Atticus Maguire wants to be left alone. He’s had his heart

turned upside down. He wasn’t planning to fall in love, but the magic never
lies.

His skin tingled. A vision formed in his mind. A woman
approaching and his brother warning her to find him. He frowned. Who was this
woman, and why would his brother appear in his vision? He tipped his head. Who
was she? He wasn’t sure. The vision wasn’t clear enough.
He glanced over his shoulder. The woman wasn’t even in
Eerie, but he felt her. Another vision formed in his mind. This time, the woman
stood in his living room and wore nothing.
A nude woman in his home.
What was he getting himself involved in?
He’d figure it out when she arrived. If he knew one thing
more than anything else, fighting the future wasn’t smart. The future would
happen no matter what he did.
Still, he wished he knew more about this person trying to
locate him. She might end up hating him. The nudity might be because she was
getting revenge… on him? Someone else?
The more he thought about this woman, the more the vision of
her nude in his living room came into focus. Slender, curly brown hair down to
her shoulders, wide eyes, blushing from her hairline to her chest, breasts just
right for his hands and curves to make his mouth water. He longed to touch her.
He hadn’t even met her yet, and she’d stirred his magic.
He wondered what her kiss would taste like.
He shook his head. Her kiss! She might not even want to kiss
him.
The water sloshed against the bank and tore his attention
from the woman. His woodland oasis would be invaded. Did he mind?
Not really.
He headed back to the house as a shiver ran the length of
his spine. The woman hadn’t reached Eerie, but she was on the outskirts. She
also needed his help.
He grabbed his keys, then tucked his phone into his front
pocket. Once he locked up the cabin, he rushed out to his motorcycle. He sped
out of the shed toward the gravel path, then the road. Living on the far side
of the lake meant he’d waste precious minutes rounding the body of water to get
to her, but his magic swore she was closer than he’d thought.
Atticus sped down the back road to the edge of town. Her car
wasn’t broken down, but she had a follower. He couldn’t see the person in the
truck tailing her. Didn’t matter. He’d use a cloaking spell to hide her from
the other driver. He spotted her little car, and his heart skipped a beat. He’d
never met her, but he had a connection to her.
He pulled out onto the main road between her and the truck,
blocking the following vehicle from getting to her. At the same time, he spoke
the words to the spell and enveloped her in the invisible cloak. She’d never
know he was behind her, but she would know the truck was gone.
Now he could deal with the truck.

Great scene! I'm pulled right into the chase and anticipating his rescue - whether she needs it or not.
