What's your Zodiac sign?
'What's your Zodiac sign?' I asked, holding my pen poised above the page.
'Scorpio,' he said, smiling when I wrote it down.
I loved doing my research. It meant that I could do and ask whatever I wanted.
'And how would you react if someone asked you to bare your soul?'
He blinked a few times and then shrugged, 'Why would anyone ask that?'
I wrote his response on the page and thanked him. He looked confused.
'I'm writing a new series called Zodiac Twin Flames,' I explained.
'What's it about?' he asked, geniunely interested.
'It's a fantasy romance, so there's six men and six women that have special powers. They're on the earth to find their soulmate, their twin flame.'
He raised his eyebrows and I just grinned at him. He'd given me the best research I'd found all week.
'So will it be all love and romance?' he asked.
I laughed and shook my head. 'No, I like action in my books, so they'll be plenty of that too.'

Pisces Excerpt
‘I get your point, mate, don’t worry. I was genuinely interested in the bracelet.’
I looked into the man’s eyes and felt fear bubble in my stomach. Fathers warning came into my head and I wondered if the man knew about my mission. He got up suddenly and sat in the opposite chair. Antony let go of my hand and came to sit next to me. The conductor announced the next stop and a few people stood to get off. Our stranger friend was watching me closely. I felt exposed and squirmed in my seat.
‘Are you okay?’ Antony whispered in my ear.
I shivered as his breath hit my sensitive skin. My heightened senses were really annoying sometimes. I looked him in the eye and realised how close he was. He was leaning into me, but I’d been so worried about the stranger, I hadn't noticed.
He chuckled as I went cross eyed. He pulled back slightly so I could focus on his face. His nose was almost touching mine and I noticed that it was slightly bigger than normal, but it suited him.
‘What are you doing?’ I whispered as his hand came up.
‘Just play along,’ he whispered back, letting his hand come up to cup my jaw. His thumb stroked my cheek as his fingers caressed the hair behind my ear.
I got lost in his gaze, unsure what I should be doing. This wasn’t the way for me to find my soulmate but I knew that he was just warning the stranger.
When his lips brushed mine, my eyes closed. The kiss was so gentle I barely felt it. His tongue flicked out and traced my lips. I couldn’t breathe. I held my breath as sensation flowed through me and something snapped inside. I wanted to reach up and grab his head. I wanted to force him to kiss me properly, instead of teasing with tiny touches of his lips, never fully connecting with mine.

Aries Excerpt
The air was warm against my skin as I crouched on the ground. My leg muscles screamed at me to move. The burning sensation made me shift as quietly as I could.
‘Aries…?’
I turned my head towards the whisper. The alleyway next to the house was pitch black, so I couldn’t make out the owner of the voice. I told them not to speak under any circumstances. Why did the idiots not listen to me?
I didn’t say anything. Instead, I rose from my crouch and crept towards the back of the alley. The Victorian house was tall beside me. I had no idea if anyone was inside, but I didn’t want to draw any attention to us.
‘What is it?’ I hissed into the darkness.
The words flew away from me and rebounded off the stone brick walls. The shadows moved, and the shape of a shorter man emerged. I smelt the aftershave before I could make out his face. Gemini.
I had told both him, and Taurus, to wait up the road. Why hadn’t he bloody listened to me? A cat screeched nearby, and we both dropped to the ground. The midnight surveillance wasn’t going to plan.
‘We saw a car drive by the house. It slowed right down, but didn’t stop.’
I grabbed Gemini’s arm and squeezed. His voice was too loud, and the sound of it carried.
It was the third time we had checked out the house where Pisces had been kept prisoner. Taurus had noticed a small light in the window the last time we were there, so we had come back to investigate.
‘Why have you come to tell me?’ I whispered, not moving an inch.
‘Because it’s gone past twice now.’
My head snapped towards the front of the alleyway when I heard footsteps pass the entrance. I kept hold of Gemini’s suit sleeve and pulled him to a stand. We crept forward, keeping our shoes soft on the concrete. I had never understood Gemini. He was a ladies man that loved to look good. He took time with his clothes and appearance. Even now, creeping through an alleyway, he smelt like a perfume shop.
‘Be quiet, we don’t want anyone to hear.’ The voice ahead of us made me freeze.
It was coming from the steps of the Victorian house. I pulled Gemini to the mouth of the alleyway and pushed him against the wall. Letting him go, I took a step forward, hoping he would stay.
‘We’ll be fine. Nick has no idea I have the keys to this place.’
