So I’m actually holding an
advanced copy of McKellan’s Run in my hands!!!
It’s a pretty surreal moment
and I’m over the moon.
I thought I’d post a little
snippet to give you a glimpse of Mac and Violet. So, here’s the blurb and an
extract.
Blurb
Violet Beckett once made the mistake of falling for the wrong McKellan
brother. Now, eight years later, fate has brought Violet back to her home town
with her daughter, Holly.
As soon as Violet runs into Charlie ‘Mac’ McKellan, she wonders if
she should run all the way back to the city. But something about him makes her
want to linger. Can she trust him, can she trust herself or will she be burned
again?
Charlie McKellan has had a soft spot for
Violet Beckett for longer than he can remember. It almost killed him to watch
his brother woo her, use her and finally lose her. From his very first
encounter with Violet he’s hooked. But how can he convince her that not all McKellans
are the same?
Snippet
‘I
think we got a bit carried away.’
‘That’s
okay. We can slow things down, whatever you want, I’ll do it,’ Mac said his
arms still wound around her.
‘I’m
not sure if this is such a good idea, Mac, I mean with our history…’
‘What
history? Violet what the hell are you talking about?’
‘Okay
fine, the history I have with your family, with your brother.’
‘I
don’t give a damn about the past, Violet. Screw the history – I just want a
future, with you,’ he said as he released her.
Violet
felt bereft without his touch. Here she was trying to do the right thing, the
noble thing and not let him sacrifice himself. Mac deserved so much more.
‘You
don’t mean that Mac. You’re just trying to fix things like you always do. You
want to protect me and Holly and I can’t tell you how much that means to me. No
one has ever wanted to do that before. But I can’t let you; it wouldn’t be
fair.’ She reached out to him.
Mac
snatched his arm away. ‘Is that what you think?’ he asked. ‘After what just
happened? You think I’m with you out of some sort of misguided duty?’
‘You’re
a good man but I’ve said it before, I’m not your
mistake or your problem.’
He
pushed away from the fence and walked away without a look or a word.
‘Mac!
Mac, please don’t leave like this. Please don’t just walk away.’
He
whirled around and faced her crossing his arms in front of his chest as if he
was putting a barrier between them.
‘Is
that the way you want to play it? Damned if I know if you’re stubborn or just
plain blind. Either way, I can’t talk to you right now.’
‘Mac.’
‘Just
leave it, Violet. Before something is said that can’t be taken back,’ he said
turning again and walking away his anger palpable and the air almost crackling
with tension. The look in his eyes made it clear she’d hurt him. She’d never
meant that to happen.
‘Mac!’
He
didn’t answer or stop, he just kept walking, his back stiff and unyielding.
McKellan’s
Run will be released on the 22nd of April in paperback and digital
