Alright, down to business - you want to know what Thunderstruck is about, right? Let me tell you...
Taranis, the Celtic god of Thunder, has spent an eternity longing for the touch of a single mortal woman. He has followed her through incarnations, but always his powers were too much for her to bear.
Tara is a deaf woman, struggling to fit in the hearing world. She hides a gentle heart behind a tough exterior. Will she let down her defenses when a handsome mute tries to win her heart?
And even if she does, can Taranis’ love come without a death sentence?
Sounds amazing, right? What? Not enough? Hmm... What about a small snippet from the book? Alright, here you go!!
Taranis watched Tara climb onto her moped.
She ran her fingers through her short black hair before pulling on her helmet.
Mortals would never have been able to see so clearly, but even from across the
street he could make out every detail of the art that was etched across her
muscular yet feminine arms. They were drenched in color from the corner of her
shoulder to the tips of her elbows. On one arm he saw a frog and a crow
alongside the Puerto Rican flag, which was the heritage she had chosen in this
new life. There was even a flamenco dancer adorned in a pink and green gown,
forever frozen in her graceful dance. The other arm displayed a garden of
colorful flowers— roses and lilies in blue, black and orange. Taranis imagined
the fragrance of those flowers would be more intoxicating than any within the
earth because they were drenched in her natural scent. He also noticed that
mixed in among the tattoos that spoke of her Latino heritage; there was also a
Celtic tribal band wrapped around her left ankle. Taranis knew it was a sign
that a part of her was still drawn to the life she had lived before—the life he
had been a brief but traumatic part of.
Taranis pushed the negative memories away. This was a new era. A new world. One where anything was possible. There were times when the magic of technology seemed to dwarf the powers of the gods themselves. First sign language and then computers with their artificial voices had made it much easier for Taranis to blend in among the mortals. Taranis especially loved the women of the twenty-first century. They were so bold and fearless, unafraid of demanding equality from their male counterparts. Tara was a prime example of that feminist drive. It seemed in each life time, she grew even stronger and more durable. He admired her strength and perseverance, but he also saw the sad and lonely woman she hid beneath the tough and snarky façade.
For two years he had watched her, yearned for her, but he was biding his time and building her trust. He had interacted with her in his human guise. Yet, he hadn’t given into the temptation to pursue anything more than a casual friendship, even though her smile insinuated she was open to more. He knew it was fear that restrained him. Each time he thought about romantic innuendos, he remembered Calista lying dead in his arms with blood dripping down her pale neck. Still, he hungered for Tara with a passion unlike anything he had ever known. He had waited centuries for her to return to him after his failure with Calista. He was sure that in this new world where their paths had finally crossed again, he would find a way to make her love him. He didn’t want to risk her life, but Taranis had a secret hope. He believed the very characteristic that she considered her greatest flaw would be the one thing that ensured their happiness in this life and all that followed.
