Title: UNDER A STORM SWEPT SKY
Author: Beth Anne Miller
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Under a Storm-Swept Sky:
An eighty-mile trek across the rugged, stunning beauty of Scotland’s Isle of Skye isn't something I imagined myself doing. Ever. This isn't a trail for beginners. And I'm not a hiker.But I have to finish it, even if it kills me. I have no choice.
With the ever-changing weather and relentless terrain, I’m in over my head.
Rory Sutherland, my guide on this adventure, is not happy. We clash with every mile, but we recognize a shared pain. Not only is the journey a struggle, but the tension between us is taut with unsaid words. And hope.
He’s broken. I’m damaged. Together, we’re about to make the perfect storm.
EXCERPT:
It was a more gradual ascent this time to the top of Beinn Edra, over six hundred meters high. We stopped for a break at the top, from which the view was incredible. The sky was a weird steel-blue, and still looked threatening, but the sun had fought its way through the clouds, casting the landscape before me in a stunning light.
I moved as close to the edge as I dared to take pictures, then set my phone to record video and slowly moved the phone from left to right. “It looks like Middle-earth, Carrie. I wish you could see this, because the video won’t do it justice.”
Tears welled in my eyes, but I ignored them, needing both hands to hold the phone steady. I caught sight of something below the ridge. “There’s some kind of huge bird down there,” I said into the microphone. “Definitely a bird of prey—I can tell by the wingtips.”
“It’s a golden eagle.”
I spun to the right. Rory stood a few feet away, his gaze trained on the bird circling below. I stopped recording. “Really? I heard golden eagles were pretty rare.”
“They are, but there are a few mated pairs around here. This is one of the best places to spot them because they like to ride the air currents.”
I zoomed the camera as much as it would go and snapped a photo of it.
“You probably won’t get a great shot from here.”
“I know, but I can hopefully adjust it on the computer when I get home.”
He reached out and gently lowered my hands. I looked at him in surprise. “What are you doing?”
He put one finger to my chin and turned my head so I looked out over the edge and not at him. “Forget about taking pictures for one second, and just look. Watch the eagle soar. Imagine what kind of view it sees. Feel the wind gliding over its feathers. You can take a hundred shots that will show a brown speck against the sky, and they will never capture this moment the way your eyes can.”
I blinked at him for a moment, stunned by not only the amount of words he said in a row, but how passionate they were. Then I looked back at the eagle. He was right. We didn’t have eagles where I lived, and seeing this one soar through the air was something I’d never forget.
We watched it in silence until it disappeared over the next ridge.
