Feels Like Sunshine

Novella #4 in the Feels Like Romance series.

Fools rush in...

Maggie is anxious... about everything, everyday.  She works hard to seem normal but every social situation is a trial for her.  She would love to have friendships or a relationship but the thought is so impossible that she doesn't even entertain it.  Then she meets Kiran and begins to feel like a new person - a normal person.  But when unexpected circumstances try to tear them apart, Maggie goes back into her safe little shell of loneliness.  If she lets this chance pass her by, though, she will be alone for the rest of her life.

Kiran is a good guy who got himself into a bad situation.  With jail time staring him in the face, he gladly takes the community service at a yoga retreat that is the only alternative.  But he doesn't have to like it.   When he meets Maggie, she takes him on a roller coaster ride of emotion that makes him feel more alive than he has in a long time.  She's honest, genuine, and doesn't even realize that there's a difference in their skin color.  But when a surprise revelation changes everything about their relationship, Kiran instinctively retreats, trying to protect himself from his feelings of betrayal and hurt.  In the process, though, he may lose the love of his life.

Maggie and Kiran have to make a choice - come back from the circumstances that are tearing them apart, or be seperated forever.

An Excerpt from Feels Like Love

“How do you feel now?” she said, picking up on the fact that I had switched the verb from thought to felt.  She swam across the pool until she was floating in front of me.

“Like you’re a goddess.  Like you’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.  Like I don’t think I can keep my hands off of you.”  She blinked.

“Kiran?”

“Yes,” I said, swallowing.

“We’re getting in over our heads,” she said.

“I know.”

“Just so that’s clear."  She knelt beside me on the bench I was sitting on. 

Then she kissed me senseless in the steaming hot water.
