This a Fantasy Fiction Romance Short Story – 7,132 word count

Connor continues to turn up at Kaelyn’s cabin, determined to get her attention, but Kaelyn is not impressed by his attentions and keeps him at arm’s length. That is, until a violent storm takes place and she reluctantly grants him temporary shelter inside her home. Once in close proximity, Connor tells Kaelyn the surprising truth—that he has seen her in his dreams that started over five years ago, and he is now determined to get to know her better!

Kaelyn is as confused by his words as she is by the effect that his presence has over her, as Connor ensures that they become closer—just as he had planned.

But in a twist of fate, Kaelyn attempts to use her powers as a witch to save Connor’s sister Christina from an evil manifestation that has settled within the child’s mind. Only then does Kaelyn begin to realise the full extent of her feelings for Connor, as she battles to come back safely to him so they can be together once again!

Elizabeth Reed

As long as I can remember I have always loved everything and anything to do with the romance genre. Enjoying writing, reading and watching a wide range of love stories. I am a true romantic at heart! So after studying for a philosophy degree and then going on to work in a corporate job in advertising, I decided to reconnect with my passion again! I now write mainly romance short stories, with the aim to share all of my ideas with others who also have an interest in romantic fiction. I write in a range of romance subgenres including erotic romance, contemporary, sweet, paranormal/fantasy fiction and historical. I hope to continue writing as long as my ideas keep flowing out from my mind. In early 2014 I experienced my own personal love story, when I married my one true love. I now live together with my husband in London.

Once on top of the roof, he immediately started to hammer down the bits of wood to cover the hole that had formed in her ceiling, securing the material with the nails to hold it in place. He remained steady, ignoring the unfavourable weather conditions that fought against him, but he was strong of body and sturdy; he was able to maintain his footing until the job had been done.

He then climbed down the ladder, handing over the hammer back to Kaelyn. He was unsure of the reaction he would receive when he looked at the confused look on Kaelyn’s face; he could sense that she was unsure of what to say to him. Regardless of her reaction, Connor knew that he was glad to be there to help her. A small, delicate woman like herself had no business doing man’s work and getting up on a ladder to toil. If only he could convince her so, life would be much easier for both of them!

At last came Kaelyn’s response to him. ‘Come in from this bad weather. I have some soup and I
